[[This method is slower than the Sandy method without the load skip method I linked in the description]]
I'll continue working on this sometime in the future.

EDIT 2: Here's a video of the load skip. Overall with these current strats I still don't consider this method viable in place of the Sandy method because it likely only saves 3-4 seconds if done perfectly.

EDIT: It seems like it's possible to make this cycle without reloading if you slam onto one of the bobbing and rotating small balls attached to the turret on the left. This is incredibly precise but I will try to grind it out and see if I can make it consistent. If it is, then I will upload a new video showcasing it with the spatula grab outside of the museum first for comparison purposes.

The time saved from skipping the bus stop is lost from reloading the level to start the cycle (Barnacle Boy's text box makes it impossible to make the cycle on entry). It may be possible to make the cycle if you slam on one of the small, rotating balls on the left turret, but that seems like a TAS strat as of now. (I will probably explore it in the future if SpongeBob Museum offers significant time saves). This may become fast if the sock is routed out, if we find a use for the sock under the spawn platform so we can death-warp, if I get a console with lightning-fast loads, etc. There are a lot of variables, but I just wanted to show that it is possible to make the fast cycle with SpongeBob with this route that I came up with.

Also, I turn the camera before collecting the spatula because being bushed into the railing on the platform will cause the screen to go black and begin hissing, similarly to when getting stuck inside of Squidward's head after the spatula collection in his dream. It may be possible to get the second painting despite the screen being black, but for now, this method cannot possibly save enough time for it to be worth doing. It's already slow to begin with, and such a strategy would only be worth doing if it were to save 5-10 seconds. [NEW TWITCH CHANNEL: https://www.twitch.tv/shift]
