just noticed this

I'm not very well versed with this game, but if I had to guess it's because frog skip doesn't work in 1.3.0, the fastest version of the game. Over the course of 3 hours the timesave from the latest version adds up.

maybe it's slightly faster, but nobody really runs it so we won't know

frog skip can only be done on versions 1.0/1.1 and the no frog skip record is done on 1.3 which has much faster loads. We actually aren't sure which is faster but we're pretty sure 1.0 frog skip and 1.3 no frog skip are close to the same speed. The actual record for frog skip is a lot worse simply because people haven't bothered to grind it as much. Pretty much everyone is running on 1.3 these days so frog skip is mostly ignored.

thanks
