Comments

I first learned about this game when I heard the OCRemix of the main theme long ago and fell in love with it. When I got into speedrunning a few years back it was the first game I took seriously. After I routed the game I watched the TAS made by Kyman & SilentSlayers & Aglar and learned how to apply that route into the real time. A new trick was found to get out of bounds even quicker resulting in an improvement of 18.26 seconds (1096 frames) over the previous movie by Kyman & SilentSlayers & Aglar.

Thanks and Shoutouts

I just want to thank some people for things they've done to help the Blob community
  • Kyman, SilentSlayers, Aglar - For creating the first TAS of the game I watched and really helped me dig into this game more.
  • Jorf - For helping me push the RTA time down to below 2 minutes and really coming within 8 seconds of the old TAS run.
  • Unknown Guy - The guy that made us aware of the new strat. I don't know you, but thank you.
  • xcd - Thanks for making me realize the trampolines were wrong.
