Let's just say this first...Sub 1 minute is definitely possible.

This TAS started out as a route test for the Dark Story TAS, but as more and more skips were found, it seemed apt to just make an IL of the stage and showcase all the new finds while also utilizing the Light Dash to save time in areas.

So yeah... the Mockbounce and Loopspeed meta has evolved significantly... I think that's where most of the routing improvements come from.

Thanks to Monkee for finding the mockbounce at 0:27.

Some sections of this TAS are very tightly optimized while others are a little more lazy/I just have a hunch they can be improved somehow.

The Loopspeed at 0:33 feels slow to me, I think this strat could be revised.

The skip at 0:40 was not frame grinded heavily. I got really lucky with conserving my speed and I just kept it and moved on because I'd never gotten that much speed in any prior attempt. It's probably not maxed though.

Setting up the Loopspeed at 0:46 can probably be improved and maybe even a setup could be found that doesn't jump. Jumping significantly slows down peak downward velocity and loses a chunk of time. But I didn't see a better method. I also didn't frame grind this or test every collision triangle. There might be a more optimal gravity rotation.

I'm sure within these areas, sub 1 is free. ...Maybe next year!
