Emu. As far as I can tell, this is the first documented speedrun of Armorines. The time can go much lower than this. I played it safe in several levels, and I also died performing two simple but finicky skips. Time starts when you choose a character, and ends on the first frame of the cutscene after killing the final boss (the cutscene where she gets stabbed).

There seems to be a glitch where jumping over water or gaps in some locations will send you to the "ceiling" of the level before you'll then fall back down. You can use this to skip to the portal in the last level even faster than the skip that I do, but I did not want to use it because I'm not sure if it's emu-only. When I get a cart, I'll try to test it.

Also, there is another glitch where you can infinitely jump and gain height by mashing jump in some locations (for example, Volcano Mission 2, in the area outside after you climb out of the first sewer pipes, before jumping down to the next sewer pipes). I'm not using this either, but I would like to test whether it is possible on console.

Lastly, there are some walls that you can sometimes walk through in Hive Mission 4, although once again, this too may be an emu glitch.
