Holy. Shit. Sometimes you get so bogged up in old ass strats, it takes a big break and a fresh set of eyes to realise just how dumb you are. 26 was always the standard great run on this level without the zip (which is random), and I experimented with ways to make 25 more possible in an SS run. Just kinda messing around I went up to the top route, which Knux had avoided in the past because he doesn't get the invincibility to go through the enemy like Sonic does. "Haha lol what if I just jump haha.....ha.....are you.....what am I.....fuck...."

And now, with this route, I've managed to surpass even the zip route (which gets 23). Unbelievable. It all seems so obvious now. Using this in SS runs is still touch and go, the ending is harder with Knux still because of his poor jump height making it difficult to even get up there (fairly certain it's a 1 framer), and the more time you lose throughout the level before that it gets compounded, as the speedshoes would wear off before the end of the level, so its only worth it if everything else is perfect already.
