I always knew that was a slight chance I could manage to possibly snag the world record due to my new Mine Boost strat. It took a painful couple of hours spent grinding, but I eventually settled on a solid route. I also didn't really like Freud's skip setup, so I started to just ledge tap the platform in the air instead. It's a bit tricky, but I'd say it's not harder than what Freud does, all it's also faster anyway. You could perhaps squeeze in a Charged Dash on the first wall after the ledge tap, but I didn't want to risk going for even harder strats.

The reason this run isn't a big improvement even with new strats is because I just couldn't manage to get the skip near the end where you go straight to the platform with all the turret enemies, so I instead I just did the old route where you go to the right wall. In other words, there's still room for improvements.
