Hey all, I haven't really been active on this site at all, but I, along with some help from pimdegoedste, have discovered a 10 second time save in the low% category, involving a route improvement. In this route, you take a forced death in 5-1 to change the vine cycles, allowing you to skip the Piranha Plant fight. The vines still work out with 5-4 and the ghost house as well. Low% isn't a very seriously taken category anyways, but maybe this will direct some popularity towards it. :P

however, it is rng whether you actually skip him

You could try to go for a really good time (with video proof) and maybe people would get interested in this category.
