I don't blame you at all if there is a possible 5 seconds of improvement during the entire run. It's gonna be awesome in any case!

Great work FODA. Really liked your WIP although Jolly Roger Bay is extremely boring place :) Keep up the good work.

you're doing a good job indeed, I was just trying to think along and maybe give some helpful tips. It's also good to know that my intuition was right about those 2. keep it up! :D

I love Jolly Roger Bay, hehe. In fact, I love Water Levels in games these days. So much fun. ;3 Very nice WIP FODA.

Looking forward to this too! Going to check the WIP as soon as I have re-configured my system again.

I am quite impressed by this. Excellent work. Throughly enjoyable. FODA, thank you for your hard work on this. If the rest of the run is as good as this, I will vote yes.

Thanks all for encouragement!! :D hey i found this trick, it's slower to use it here than spezzafer's way, but it may be usefull somwhere later http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5960897371435667836

for what its worth, i like the variety. considering some stars are in the same general area, using the same route over and over could be kind of boring. that way was quite surprising.

Now that i think of it, it can probably be used in the 100 coins star to get those 8 coins there.

Perhaps it is a faster method to get to that star that you normally just wall kick or use a cannon to get to (it's forwards from where you did the first seam jumping thing).... hopefully that made sense, it's late.

That's how i did this trick, i was trying to get there, but i can only jump to where the coins are, and i can get the star if i do a backwards longjump and grab it below, but that is all 2 seconds slower than spezzafer's way. This one going to the boss is 3 seconds slower.

This (I assume, at least; this is what I get):
Thanks for your interest in Google Video. Currently, the playback feature of Google Video isn't available in your country. We hope to make this feature available more widely in the future, and we really appreciate your patience.

How can they discriminate by country? That's crazy!

Yeah, I don't get that. I thought the internet was supposed to transcend country boundaries and all that stuff. Plus, it's Google, they should know better. If it was some sleazy TV station like showtime it wouldn't bother me very much, but Google? Come on, you have got to be kidding me...

I doubt Google has a nefarious plot to keep Google Video from the French. I don't know anything about the situation, but I think it's a reasonable supposition that Google offers different services in various nations because of local laws. (For example, they obey Chinese censorship laws and rebranded Gmail in the UK.)

Even if it is a nefarious plot, it's not just limited to the French... EDIT: in any case, a friend just pointed out to me that you could probably get around these restrictions if you use TOR, and it does indeed work. :)
