RTA timing is 15:37. Played on US version.

I am finally happy with a run of this category. This is a really terrible category to run because of the luck-based truck skip on the route from area 6 to area 8. Missing it costs 37 seconds. In short, you have a 37.6% chance of skipping that truck. As a result, I tend to care a LOT less about optimizing this category.

I lost around 4 seconds in area 6 from using some safe strats in the first screen, messing up the second screen, and being bad at doors. I lost another 2 seconds in area 9 from just early-level slop (canceled one grapple a frame early, forgot to cancel another), and I lost 7 seconds in area 12 from bad elevator clips. Everything else was pretty dang solid. This run is 20 seconds off my sum of best splits which are literally perfect, so I'm ok with that for this category.

I'll be focusing on US 100% and JP any% from now on. I hope you enjoy this!
