Thanks to Aftermath for recording this video for me! Please ignore the statID for now; this run has not yet been verified by SDA.

This is a 2 second improvement to my old run of Ch3. I wasn't happy about the general sloppiness of that old run, so I cleaned it up. I have a better route through the gel blocks and a really really good Menace fight.

I didn't get the corner boost at the start of the level (after aggroing the imp), but I don't think it helps. Whenever I got the corner boost, the imp gave me a bad pattern. I think if I keep the imp moving after me, he won't take action for a short period. If I hit the corner boost, I start moving right sooner and he doesn't travel as far after me. I think this brief stationary period causes him to take action sooner when I need to jump off of him. Or maybe it's just a coincidence.

I found a strat for Menace during the co-op runs that makes it a bit faster. If I throw R.Boomerangs to the left on that platform as Menace is awakening, they will pass through him to the right and damage his face 3-4 times. I could potentially save some time doing this strat but I found it too late and don't care to try.

Done!
