Unfortunately not a Dustkid level... though Man is probably better for the following nexus movement anyway.

There are some parts I feel I haven't necessarily optimized as much as possible, such as the climb and slope slide around 33-37 seconds, but overall I'm feeling pretty good about this run. Particularly interesting parts:

I didn't expect it to, since it requires landing much further left and the gap before the actual floor means a lot of the boost will immediately be lost... but that slopeboost at ~10.5s actually saves a bit of time. Neat!

After the next climb, the low ceiling makes it difficult to get a normal groundboost, but this actually enables an interesting sort of lowboost, which I take after the second patch of dust on the ceiling: By grabbing the ceiling briefly to reach 522 speed, falling just slightly, then then dashing to reset fall speed, I can set it up so that without downdashing, I hit the ground at just under a 45 degree angle, setting up a more efficient boost than the normal ~71 degree groundboost angle. There's also less fall speed to convert to boost speed, so the boost isn't so impressive, but it's still better than I'd be able to manage otherwise (111% rather than 104% normal dash speed), saving me a bit of time.

For the final section, I save some frames clipping up into the diamond-shaped electrified blocks, and then was extremely disappointed to learn that it wasn't possible to get both the leftmost blob in the climbing section and the rightmost blob in the final group with one super. Too bad... I'll have to check more thoroughly at some point to see if it's possible to efficiently clean that left blob without scattering dust on the wall or wasting more time than it wastes to have to travel right to downheavy those last two slimeblobs after the super.
