Did an earlier first clip in Level 4 to save about 10 seconds.
The later levels here don't have any beneficial clips.
Magnifying glass and shoe bosses are about as good as they can be.
Level 11 has the slowest leaf boat known to man, and you have to ride it for most of the level.

Turns out one frame of the fast accel setup (crouch-walking in the opposite direction) is completely unnecessary, just crouch-walking brings your speed from 0 to 13 instantly.
Z's walking speed caps out at 22, and jumping at 28, so you want to be airborne as much as possible.
The platforms you can clip into have to be very specific, I'm not sure how many case uses there are beyond this.

Been sitting on a full game TAS of this for about three years, I just never made it public for some reason.
But after seeing the clips in action, I'm thinking of giving this another shot. Yeah, the platforms required for them aren't very common, but their potential does excite me somewhat.
Also features a bit of tech which gets Z to maximum speed from a standstill (DL+DR followed by a jump to the right within a three frame window, inverse for going left, basically fast acceleration), and stops him from sliding when walking in the opposite direction (crouch-walking in the opposite direction for a single frame, then jumping).

Chapter 7: +96 (+1.36) - Worse hermit crab RNG, stopping to get 5 P Crystals at the end
Chapter 8: -553 (-9.15) - Better movement and skips a text box related to the icon puzzle
Chapter 9: -1565 (-26.10) - More optimised battles, boss is a cycle slower
Final Chapter: -509 (-8.30) - Stopping to get 300 rings as I'll need 14k when I get the Dahak Mk2

Beats Part One four minutes and seven seconds faster than the current TAS. New parts route is a bit of a mixed bag (at least for the stock Dahak).

Got worse RNG with the hermit crab and lost about three seconds, gotta love this game finding new ways to screw me.

Well ahead of my initial TAS by a minute and 18 seconds so far, though I do expect to "lose" most of that lead by re-routing the Hunter Rank grinding.
