holding the analog stick forward is what we're all used to, but holding the analog stick diagonally to get to where you're going is s i g n i f i c a n t l y faster. swimming in water, walking through tall grass, anywhere.

the latter half of my new PB showcases this, including my realization that it's true. check "the cave." i golded the stage by almost 10 seconds.

Also worth noting are places where NOT to do this, as it'll mess up the game's sequence progression and ultimately cost you time.

1. At the beginning of "To Save Ann," I tried swimming ultrafast and Ann wound up somehow being eaten by the V-Rex. ^^^EDIT: DO THIS. The checkpoint skip from the Ann death saves you time over doing the stage normally. I don't know why.

2. At the beginning of "Call Kong," I accidentally ran so fast past the zone that triggers the V-Rex that it never spawned, so I had to backtrack in order to activate it.

I'll add more as we figure more of these out. In the meantime, enjoy the free timesave. (:
