Youtube comment on my Any% Run:

"Hey, this is great. Kameo is my favourite game. I'll tell you something, when yo fight the big troll at the end of the first level you can instakill him. Just use Chilla to drop the chandelier from above him. I hope this is useful for you c:" from mark18262

I just tried it and it works:

Text boxes: Mashing B instead of A during text boxes is much faster.

Elemental Shrine skip after receiving Flex: Just rush into the invisible wall behind the guards to hit the loading zone. Once you are in Snow Temple the game thinks you defended the Shrine successfully.

this saves about 10 seconds over a well executed ice wall (=not getting hit by a spider) which is pretty unlikely to happen. realistically you save at least 15 seconds over ice wall if you perform that jump first try.

This is a demonstration on how to skip the forest shrine. This saves around 1 minute over all. Info for the skip in video description.

This is a demonstration on how to enter Thorns Pass early. At the moment there is no way to progress further than the first area.

Updated route for forest shrine skip. Saves ~0:06 in movement from FFG to MR
