Going to start to be more active as a speed runner rather than a mod on this soooo yeet skeet
Nice to hear Sodyn! I've compiled some shortcuts you can practice. The Skyscraper super jump is probably well known already, but there's a risky ultra jump that makes you land on the NEXT platform and can set you up for a 21 time. Tropical Dash can go sub 27 if you can get a lucky death bounce off the corner of the "X" platform and hit the end. Cavern of Darkness allows you to go to the right at the start and jump over the hill and into the cave. Over a second is saved. The only way myself and Iritius have subbed 24 on Frozen is by going on the a tiny ledge sticking out the right, then instead of climbing up the hill, jumping off the tiny ramp and landing on the platform. Crystal Mine has a new shortcut where you land on the red crystal in the middle, jump up it and land on the other side. Dragons Lair can be done in 27 by going along the right path at the start, running on the edge of the big brick, and landing on an orange roof to the right. Pastel Valley can't do the previously mentioned strategy without a death bounce, but if you go from the landing point to there, you're still saving time. Heights can allow you to jump from the second trampoline (positioned on the wall) and with careful angling, you can land and finish in about 16 seconds. Myself and Iritius have discussed how high jumps work, and I tested that there was no invisible wall in the stage, so for the hardest trick in the game, do s precise jump off the platform before the trampoline to smash into the corner, where you get flung up and have enough height to finish. While it doesn't save your ridiculous time, I screenshotted my 7.8 that I achieved.
Also, should we make a Discord. Also Jay's times look outright fake. Myself and Iritius have spent hours attempting to recreate them. It's not possible.
