wanted to run this game for a while now (and plan on doing it soon, but I have been getting sidetracked testing some routes that in theory shave off a ton of time, but they are pretty near pixel perfect, wondering if anyone has any thoughts on any to test and if this could be beneficial to future runs (note : new to speedrun.com so I have no idea if I am using this correctly)

That sounds great, if you join the discord I'm sure we can discuss this further and see what your ideas are. https://discord.gg/E4XQzDF Also don't worry about using it wrong, no ones gonna judge.
