oh I just realised it's not faster than doublejump -> walljump, but it's still faster on single platforms and before you get walljump
I'm confused as to why this didn't show up in the TAS or any runs I've watched.
Doublejumping to a platform at the height like the ones in this image takes about 54 frames (at 60fps, I assumes the game actually runs at 30? My emulator has framecount in 60fps. Please enlighten me).
Since backroll jump gives a lower jump, you can start your doublejump lower, and thus get onto the next platform in about 36 frames (at 60fps). idk if this has been documented before, but I hadn't seen anyone do it, so I just wanted to mention it. lmk if you need a video
I'd suggest a category for any% with the frog hat, as it significantly alters the game
