I watched J_duude's run and aside from the missed Bowser throw, which wasted about 10 seconds, it was well executed. I don't think that kind of play can be beaten by 21 seconds. So... Has Ben used a different route? I'd like to hear what knowledge he can bring forth to improve the category.

I believe Sharkey told me he fell in lava once in his run so Benjamin would have to play almost perfectly.

I've been grinding today and beat Benjamin by about half a second. I believe his execution was better than mine, however I used a faster method for SSL Star 2 than I normally do. It's pretty risky but cut off a couple of seconds.

But did Sharkey use the same route as you? The mistake in WF and missed Bowser throw should only lose 12 or 13 seconds.

He doesn't charge the triple jump in dark world

So does he take the long route or just do the jump without charging?
