I feel bad putting this run on the boards. A new skip was found (Clam Skip) which has currently only been confirmed to work on NTSC-U PS2. There could be a separate sub category down the line but unless more skips are found, I don't think that's the most appropriate call to action at the moment.

The run itself is improvable but I'm happy I got the skip first try. I don't think sub 1 is possible but I can realistically see a 1:03 or even a 1:02 happen.

*Played on PCSX2 1.6.0
