Note: This is a run with invincibility.

The developer time of this level is extremely lenient. However, the real difficulty lies on the level itself, which is very annoying and many things could go wrong due to the platforming heavy nature of this level. To beat the developer time, you had to wait for a few seconds first before grabbing the stopwatch so the platforms at 0:50 will be hopefully at a favourable position. Next, do not mess up at the ascending part as it will cost you a lot of time if you fall off, though you are allowed to wait for a couple of seconds there, particularly at the very first platform at the base of the ascending part. Also, get the invincibility so you can blaze through the end of the level, as well as zigzagging around the moving walls will save you some time too in case those walls are blocking your way.

Optional: You can also beat the developer time without invincibility, but it’s recommended to get the invincibility if you are a beginner just like me. You can also zigzag around the lizardman at the end of the level but it’s a bit tricky to do so.

I was surprised that I had beaten the developer time by a few seconds with little effort on the very first successful time trial attempt. However, I decided to redo the time trial until I clocked under 1 minutes and 20 seconds as shown in this video, even though I had wasted a few seconds during this run.
