Also, a super super small time save. Literally only saves a second, but you might as well do it: You can shoot rapidly at the end boss, before the second blow dart things spawns
Also, thought I'd mention this. I'm sure people have discovered this, but no one seems to use it in the runs I've seen, so I'll show it anyway if you don't know: (It does only save a few seconds) You can just barely make it to the third cloud.
What would you be able to skip in Tubular City? Even if you found a major out of bounds or something, you'd still have to collect all the batteries and coins, right?
Thank you! And for a Tulsahr's Forest skip, it's currently a work in progress. It seems possible, but it may be a while until it's figured out.
Anything I find that saves time, I'll put in here. First off, the Birdy Beach skip. Go to the barrel behind the ship, and try to squeeze between the barrel and the ocean wall. With enough wiggling, you should be pushed straight through out of bounds. From there you can go under the map, and grab the key without needing a single balloon. Here's a video showing it:
