Hi! So i was in the Robot 64 chat on the speedrunning discord, and I asked, "Is there any way to have the timer for the radical points IC in subareas?" Pokemonkey123 soon responded saying it is possible. After hours of testing and finding out the details on how to do it. I decided to go for it. I'm gonna say this right now. IT IS THE HARDEST TRICK IN ROBOT 64. It's very hard to explain, and it's very complicated. I have a 1.6% completion rate for the trick. (2/~260)
Out of the 4 times I have gotten it, my best pace was..... -10.04 leaving Hecklands What's the route change? You replace the Dark Maze IC in The Hecklands with the radical points IC in Knoddy's Resort.
In that run, i don't believe i got Faster Hub I, which that alone saves 3 seconds. Do what you want with that info, if you do attempt it, please dont do it after Turtle, do it at the start.
After a day of attempts, my new best is -10.28 leaving hecklands However I was definitely on a -13 pace one time but it died in hecklands
https://www.speedrun.com/robot64/run/ylk05grz Best pace ever, -15 exiting hecklands. For some reason, i'm still losing time in sun fight, but thanks to yarn i can save 2 seconds in sun fight
aannd with a new 7 second time save i found, we just got wr WOOP https://www.speedrun.com/robot64/run/y25140jy
There has been a ~3 second time save found in knoddy's resort again, so sub 3 knoddy is possible
