OK......
There are so many suboptimal routes in this game and this game is totally hard to optimize.
So, I'll redo this TAS as I need to plan an optimal route.
EDIT:
Maybe I should redo this run using this WIP.

You can download my another redo WIP here.
Time: 05:30.97
Frames: 19858
Rerecord Count: 4250
Improvements:
General Improvement: This run improves 12 frames. Thanks to bouncing prevention in Prints of Persia.
Pharaoh's Funhouse: The improvement is in the Red Gem Area. I'd improved by not jumping into the 2nd Nitro Box.
Prints of Persia - The improvement is to prevent from bouncing some boxes and enemies because it reduces speed. And also the Bonus Area. The smashing of a box is non-stopping.
What do you think?

I just have one question, though - in 6-3 you jump at a conveyor belt, get hit by a clock, and then fall down to the spikes. Is there a reason why you didn't just go across the spikes?
Well, taking damage to the clock enemy because spikes can lose one heart of course.

Finally!
You can download my WIP here.
Time: 05:31.17
Frames: 19870
Rerecord Count: 4070
About this WIP:
As in Pharaoh's Funhouse, slide-spinning continuously should be better. In Prints of Persia, this level is challenging, especially in Bonus Area. Well, if you ask me why did I stopped after this level is because the next level is Globe Trottin'. This level is an Atlasphere level, and Atlasphere levels are very hard to optimized.

Sorry for a too late post, but.....

Do you have any RAM watch values to show Crash's speed?
Well, I don't have, but as I say, I compared them using some frames.
As for 1st slippery, I think slide-spinning continuously is better as if.
EDIT:
As in slippery ground in Pharaoh's Funhouse, i think slide-spinning continuously is better. To do this, You must have to press R on one frame, and then, press B on another frame. Then, walk until it gets possible.

Well, I was aware to TAS this as this game is great.
You can download my simple WIP here.
Emulator Used: PSXjin v2.0.1
Rom Used: Spongebob Squarepants [SLUS_01352]
Time: 00:01:05

About this WIP:
This TAS completes one level in quick time. Just like The Bugs Bunny Birthday Blowout in NES, This game is also laggy. As you see, I'd ground pounded on a 7th moving jellyfish platform because you can't reach from above if you just jump this. Before you finish the level, you need to get a jar. As I say, sloped grounds didn't affect speed.
Well, What do you say about this WIP?

About this run:
In Lagoony Tunes, I'd ignore the Relic run as I need an invincibility for a TNT Block in Pharaoh's Funhouse to takes damage in getting a Red Gem Shard. It is because When you get a timer, Crash Bandicoot's mask, Aku Aku, dissapears. And in Pharaoh's Funhouse, I'd stopped on a slippery ground because slide-spinning continuously can do in first slippery ground as when you slide-spin-jumping, you can only land to a Checkpoint Box unlike I did continuously can do twice. Can somebody please help me about a slippery ground?

That is not the explanation actually, you slide-spin on the slippery ground but instead of just continuing to slide-spin onto the normal ground you jump off the slippery ground, and when you land on the normal ground you continue to jump as soon as possible, I will make a demo as soon as I have time to show you exactly what we are saying.
If you don't want to wait for my demo, check [1506] PSX Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back "item glitch" by pirohiko in 11:34.85

The idea was to see if you can keep the slide-spin speed from slippery ground on normal ground by jumping on the frame you land. So slide-spin on the slippery and jump the frame just before you leave slippery, then keep jumping on the same frame that you land on regular ground... if you can keep the slide-spin on slippery speed you should be able to go quite fast for a while.
Once you get super-slide I am quite sure that is the quickest move to use.
Sadly I don't really have time these coming weeks to experiment with this stuff.
What Warepire is trying to say is to increased speed from slippery terrain (like ice) using the slide and then jump, when you exit the slippery terrain, keep jumping as soon as possible to keep the ice speed, if you want a demonstration, look at the Crash Bandicoot 2 TASes that uses this.
Thanks for explanation, Rolanmen1........
But still, the slide-spinning in a slippery ground is faster than slide-jumping. I'd compared between them already.
Warepire: Thanks, but I don't need a demo

Well, I'm sorry to say but I don't know what does it mean. Can you please explain it or you can give me a demo? You can use my WIP for demo.

You can download my another WIP here.
Time: 03:41.65
Frames: 13299
Rerecord Count: 1677
About this WIP:
This TAS improves at least 2 frames. Well, I'd compared between the slide-jumping and the slide-spinning in a slippery path. But still, the slide-spinning in a slippery path is still the fastest of all.
Note:
Before I learn the Super Slide Move, which do you think is faster?
-The Super Slide-Spin move?
-or The Super Slide Only move?
If you chose the Super Slide-Spin move, from R, how many frames should I count before I press B?

Rerecord Count: 2022
About this WIP:
The same as my previous one but I'd finished in Pharaoh's Funhouse Bonus Area. I found a new trick that is very faster in slippery paths. I'm not sure this name but I call this trick, The Slippery Slide-Spin.
How to use this trick:
When you're in slippery area, Just do the slide-spin move
Well, what do you say about this run?

Great WIP, jlun2....
As I say, a playaround TAS would be better as you can do any entertaining stuffs. You can collect at least one or a few blue spheres.
This is my opinion but:
-I think this game is interesting.
