Idk that any of these are new. Previously I had a 2nd place time around 1:46 and my friend had the 1st place time of 1:42 (this one is not in the legacy tab for some reason but is this link: ), keep in mind this is from when you started timer at the start of the cutscene. These runs have become legacy runs despite the updates not changing the run at all but either way these strats have been used for at least 6 months. On top of that, there's 2 options we discovered that nobody is doing anymore despite being faster than all of the current strategies. These are to either land the plane on the 3rd to last present then fly to 2nd to last, or the faster but much harder to optimize strategy which is simply taking the cannister to the left of the hangar. This cannister cuts out all the time spent getting into and driving the jeep to the plane, as well as all the time it takes to take off in the plane. The plane strat was used in the 1:36 run and my 2nd place run used the cannister but still ended up being slow due an unoptimized cannister flight and no car spawning on the road and having to run to the gocart. Edit: Also just realized you didn't start your timer til maybe 2 seconds after getting up. You're giving yourself a free 5 seconds minimum on the run compared to where you're supposed to start.
Beat the record after a year but still too scared to do any other levels.
