Wow guys, I think Kid is ACTUALLY fast this time!

I mean, there's some chance that mysteriously Man or Girl is the character of choice here... I haven't tested them yet... but having cleaned up both a Kid and a Worth run pretty thoroughly (I think?), it seems Kid is around half a second faster. This run is full of ridiculous tech that Kid's insane air control makes possible.

First off, the boost through the initial turkey tunnel. Kid spends that whole time at speeds of 900+, which she can maintain due to having two airdashes per turkey. She needs to slow down a little bit so she can downdash slightly for the final turkey, but she only loses a little bit of speed there. Similarly, the extra aircharge lets her carry a big boost across a gap heading left and again heading right just afterwards.

Her extra aircharge also lets her get some ceiling slantboosts in spots where the worth run can't really to spend one. Notably, in the little crooked area where the WR uses its first super (~22s), Kid wouldn't be able to afford an airjump to get a ceiling slantboost without a little slantjorf to get her aircharges back... but that spot's pretty great pretty much whichever character you're playing. I use it in the Worth TAS as well.

Speaking of the first super, delaying the super to the upper area seems to save a bit over half a second for Kid under TAS conditions. Not really sure how much it saves for Worth, but I suspect a similar amount of time? Anyway, I don't think the positioning for it is super tight, so perhaps IL runners should investigate it.

There's another spikestand a bit later, but I think the second half of the run is pretty self-explanatory. Lots of fun, and lots of boosting at the speed of lavender. Pretty exciting!
