Finally a run I'm proud of. I did this without any loop skips, so I know there's still a lot of time I can save.

Resort Island needs work, for sure. I need to bring my laps down to at least 16's if I want to keep my time nice and neat. 15's would be the goal.

City is fine, gotta watch the double bounces and my cornering.

Regal Ruins is surprisingly sound. I always thought it'd be my weak link, but it has proven to be quite the time saver. I can definitely cut corners better and improve my wall bumps though.

Reactive Factory is consistently a roller coaster for me. I'm very confident in this level, but I know there's room to shave seconds with ring allocation and better corner cutting.

Radiant Emerald is where the giant cuts to time should come in. If I can manage 3 loop skips plus a lap 2 and 3 ring dash, along with perfect cornering, then I believe I can get this record down to sub 8:50 off of that level alone!

On an absolutely perfect run, I think I can crush this thing down to 8:35, but that would be a one in a million run. Everything would need to go my way.
