I'd like to apologize for the lagginess again. Here, I'm not actually sure what's causing it. Maybe it's the Reflect Blocks, maybe it's just the Block Snakes. Either way, my game lags in this stage a bit and also makes the music sound awful.

I don't know about you guys, but my brain can't really comprehend the Block Snakes very well and that's why I'm skipping most of the long sections of them with Rush Jet. It's probably faster to do it with Rush Jet anyways. Other than that, there's not a whole lot in this stage that's really difficult. I use Rain Flush in a lot of places in this level since it gets rid of the enemies without me having to think too much. Although, there's some spots where I have to switch back and forth between Homing Sniper and the Rush utilities and that can be a little tricky to get used to.

You do have to be pretty careful with how much Rush Jet you use in this stage though. In the last section, you're left with only a bar or two of Rush Jet ammo. I also use a Beat Rescue in there towards the end.

This run beats the previous normal record, SilentHaxorus's 3:31. Maybe they actually used the Snake Blocks and that's why it's slow. Maybe they didn't have all the upgrades either? Because this strat requires Energy Saver to not slow down to use a W Tank. For improvements to this, I think less fumbling in the last room would help. Switching back and forth from Homing Sniper and Rush Jet can be pretty rough. Also, you might not have to use Rush Jet after you use the Beat Rescue. Doing that on foot might lead to some time save maybe. I'm not sure because I don't wanna do that part on foot personally. And lastly, better Quick Man RNG is obvious. You probably want him to keep doing low hops so that he's easier to hit and your Homing Snipers don't have to travel as far.
