Nearly two years after Absnerdity found the gravity orb clip in 7-1, I finally went back to runs of Mohawk any%. This is an improvement of 1:33 over my old PB from 2012 (!).

This category is super rough to run because the bonus levels we have to play are just awful. They're incredibly hard to navigate cleanly and positioning issues are an order of magnitude more costly than in the stages themselves. My goal with this run was to be on par with my 29:02 through the entire run except for 3-1 and 7-1 (which were rerouted). I managed to do exactly that, so I'm happy enough with this. Not a single runner has picked this up since my original pair of runs in 2012, so I don't see a reason to kill myself trying to fully optimize movement.

I will not improve this unless a new skip is found. This route is absolutely the best route with current knowledge.
