I will do something here, gib me my time :0

North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany

Soooo i saw that no one use‘s that strat so i‘ll just call it My Strat. Yesterday i found out that you can actually do something at the Start and end of a level, it is actually so good that i got To be the First person with an sub 6 run (Xbox doesnt Count xd). So when you Start a Level (W1 skip is completly the Same) you can press the options button and if you do that twice really fast you can get to use your character even doe there should be a cutscene. So there you safe i think about 3 Seconds or even more. And at the end of an Level (As fast as you can when the 3 tears are in the 3 Bowls) you press Options and then the button of the Hub world and i think there you can also safe about 3 seconds. All in all if you do everything really good, there Could be an sub 5:50 run pretty soon. (i think it works for switch and Xbox to But i don’t know) (old Post)

So if i am being honest, every cutscene Takes i think exactly 4 seconds. So on the switch version, if you do it perfectly, it can safe around 20 seconds, on the ps4 version 40.

20 seconds? :O I clearly need to optimize my ending cutscene skips, then! I've, at best, been able to shave about 11 seconds off my time with it.

As an addendum: don't forget that World 5 shortcut. It's a decently large risk (10+ seconds lost if it's missed), but saving 5 seconds in a run that goes through World 5 is quite a nice time save. ^^;

Oh yes right! If somone tries to make an wr run then it should definetly be in it. But if not, dont forget its hard.

Also, (i make a video about this soon) there are some time saves in w2 and w3 (w3 is mostly just an setup) ((and i only tried these worlds rn)) they are kinda hard so again, if not wanting to make an wr do not do it xd. So but in w2 after you collect the second tear, you jump down but on the right side so that you jump to that air vent and to that air vent but you need to hit the Ground first. Then try to jump on the house and jump as late es possible to the other air vent and try to get as high as you can (You need vertical speed). Then hold your controllstick down left so you should land on the platform. That can save you half a second probably, so again, do not use it in not wr speedruns xd. Then w3 i need to describe that but it would be hard xd. But, i try my best. First you wanna get on the last right stone and from there you just wanna jump on this one big rock thing. Jump immediatly to get on the other rock and there you run to the end and then jump as long as you can. You should be nearly Pixel perfect on the Grass, so you jump again as high as you can, and if done correctly, you can jump on those hexagons rocks in one jump. Could be done without this setup? Probably, and it may even be easier but still i think it is fast enough to lose a few milli seconds.

Update: It doesnt safe 20 seconds because always when you do it there is a little leg so i think at best it can safe 17-18 seconds

So it isn’t really an time safe but I know it is possible to make an sub 5:40 run, iv‘e made an 5:45 run and I didn’t used the shortcut in w5 and made some mistakes in w3. Also the more interesting part, you can do walljumps. I don’t really know how, when and why but it is under the right circumstances possible

So i tried finding the fastes way to travel by walking around the green path in the hub world. Normal Walking: 42-43 seconds Running: 22-23 seconds Short hops: 19-20 seconds Long hops: 17:18 seconds

I Currently try to make a little bit faster route for w1 skip! i will send a video when i get it!

North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany

So i think i got a pretty consistent setup to make the w1 skip in sub 50. just the skip, walking to the w2 might take 4 seconds so i think maybe 52-54 seconds.

Found a way to get to the Beach level faster from the hub. As far as i can tell this will only work for the beach level and the one closest to the door but that level isnt included in the run. Could probably save a second or 2.

So this is great! But sadly the video is in privat so we can‘t see it, you could make it to not listed.

West Yorkshire, England

My bad meant to go unlisted, should work now

Oh yes it is able to be seen now. A strategy like this is already commonly used, but not on the tree. The fence one is a bit harder, but with the fence one it is not possible that the camera is going into the house. With the tree one it is possible if you jump to near to the window

My fault iv not seen it in a run iv watched. I know what you mean with the camera I thought it might be possible to clip through that window like you can with the others but so far i cant do it.

Ohhhh I would like to see it :) ps4 Xbox or switch?

North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany

I like it that there are so many new strats! Maybe I will make a video about all of them, maybe for new runners

I should start using the tree for the beach level then. ^^; It's much easier to set up than the fence, isn't it?
