Good run but:
- I think there are too much "crazy stuff"
- Water levels don't look very good. Maybe they could do better?
- You don't use some tricks what i found and they are faster. Why?
+ Cool new tricks
+ It's faster as published run
It's not that good what i expect :p but i vote YES :)
I just watched the run and there are many great moments I liked such as catching up to the guy who throws TNT in Screech's Sprint, making the blue guy get angry and then let him get crushed in Castle Crush (also all the bee "killing"), and of course, all of Parrot Chute Panic. However, there are some nitpicks I wanted to bring up. These are just things I wanted to make sure you're considering. Maybe what you have is already fastest for some or all of them.
1) I think the Squawks shortcut in Toxic Tower might be faster, too. Also what SpiDeY said about Squawks in Castle Crush.
2) In Rickety Race, you don't have to run into the back of anybody. IIRC you can get a speed boost instead by stomping on the first guy (jump earlier). I'm sure you tested and found that short hopping downhill is best btw.
3) In Toxic Tower with Rattly, you don't have to do near the number of A button jumps that you do. For all of the ones (most of them) that are barely out of normal jump reach, you can do a short step (what happens if you just hold say Y and right) and jump to get the necessary height. This technique might be useful elsewhere as well, but I can't think of any in particular right now.
4) In Screech's Sprint, there are two path choices I'm wondering about. After you get the hidden barrels to blast you left and up, as soon as the vertical path opens up, you can veer left immediately and get another two hidden barrels to blast you up and to the right. Also, right after the part where you squeeze through a small gap to the left, you can go straight down and squeeze through another small gap, instead of going around the bramble structure.
All of these come from normal playing though, so obviously you would know better than I do.
1) Yeah Castle Cursh bonus shortcut is faster. I use that v2.
2) I tested battery thing. Its slower if i don't collect battery.
3) I try use normal jumps, but they are too short. I have to charge.
4) I tested that too and it's slower if i go corner barrel.
