Wanted to come back and revisit this level since my previous record for it was just very old at this point and I noticed I could do it much better honestly, mostly just from some optimizations and not really any new strategies. It was only about 7 seconds faster, but that is pretty good just from some general optimizations and clean execution, so I am pretty happy with this run overall. I didn't actually end up hitting the split early either, it was actually right as the cutscene appeared, so it was just barely a 6:09! :)

(I have not timed without loads, I will time manually if needed.)
