This is my quick update of the any% speedrun, featuring 2 recently discovered techniques, which combined with further optimizations result in a solid 19 minute improvement over my last run.

The first new technique is the PixieDust status-manipulation glitch, which allows to get the same effect of the traditional Atlas Glitch, but with a much quicker and easier setup that doesn't require any formula-leveling or save and reset delays. I use it to combine the Atlas and Defend effects at the same time, to not only get much faster battles, but also to remove all potential defensive strategies such as healing delays or the need to buy and equip armor during the entire run.

The second new technique allows to bypass blocking rocks without the need of the Levitate formula, resulting in a skip of more than 50% of the 1st Prehistoria world including the Vipers and Salabog battles. I once again use a new approach because of this new conditions, to shorten the remaining boss battles even more due to the now easier to handle HardBall management.

I also use new strategies in Omnitopia, which saved a couple of seconds over my previous run.

The run is recorded on an emulator for easier capturing and better analysing possibilities, but is thoroughly played in unassisted console conditions in one sitting.

Enjoy!
