CBNST: Beating the Developer Time w/o Hobslides - Piston It Away (CB2) 0:59:33 [PC]
This level’s developer time is very lenient, but is very annoying to beat due to the abundant number of hazards as well as the somewhat platform heavy nature of the level. The best way to beat the developer time is to sacrifice an Aku Aku mask on the the second tentacle robot after the 1-second box so that the piston nearby will reset its cycle and giving you a chance to run past them (in fact, the pistons will stay up for a while after you took damage on them or any enemies nearby). Also, doing a damage abuse at the beginning of the level (with an Aku Aku mask obviously) also helps to reset the cycle as well.
I’m quite satisfied for my current time as I had clocked under a minute in this level. However, the run isn’t a perfect one and there’s still some room of improvements in this level and I’ll upload a better run in case I had improved my time.
Developer Time: 1:13:03
My Time: 0:59:33 (13.70s ahead of the Developer Time)
