SO close to sub 2 min... might come back for it eventually since its definitely doable.

0:46 - landing on this rock and walking off is faster than jumping over it cleanly since you get to start running faster

0:56 - faster line, you don't need to be that close to this car to pick it up

1:06 - don't need this sunstone since the enemies are on a better line and quicker

1:11 - rip lost the sub 2 minute to this part, one of the rare times its not first attempt on this trick

1:18 - you don't need to punch here and it saves a lot of time to not do so. Hugging the left wall here is optimal due to not needing to double jump (messed it up here) and the goo enemy does not trigger

1:46 - activating the special triangle attack early here gives knack a mini speed boost around the corner

2:02 - attacking that one extra enemy earlier makes it so we can skip this sunstone which puts the fire later on a better cycle so you don't take damage doing it as often.

2:11 - fastest i've ever seen this part done, being put on the better cycle makes it easier to avoid the fire but also got a bit lucky.

2:28 - this skip is the hardest for me. best I can tell is its best to go slightly left, wait a tad longer than you think on every jump, then do the final dash and attack in quick succession while leaning slightly left.
