I just did a speedrun of this, from start to end without aborting any race. - Normal Tournament (not mirror) - Frenzied! difficulty level (hardest) - control: optic mouse - final score: 401638 - broken balls: 11 - extra time left at the end of the master race: 39.1 seconds http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3513687033909538009

I'd be more interested in individual level record videos. Didn't frenzied only give you less time after completion? Still, eager to watch it. EDIT: Watched it. Somehow my version doesn't allow me to get more than 99.9sec at the start of a level. Loses me about 10 seconds... :( Anyway, I haven't played the game in ages so I didn't even get past wobbly race anymore. - Your jump strategy on Intermediate seems easier than mine, gotta try that. - Hmm, have you tried getting the jump at the end of Dizzy Race? - Tower Race was nice, is the dizzying at the end intentional? - You don't use an easy timesaver in Up Race, worth about a second, I'll see if I still have the video... - Now Expert Race was nice. Not getting sawed off is hard. - There was a shortcut at the end of Odd Race... you could jump down somewhere... - Toob Race... I don't remembet, after that 8-ball, are the tubes linked random? Because the other way way way simpler. - Wobbly Race: Really good. I barely managed the weasel time on that level, and you get easily within 2 seconds of that with a few broken balls. - Sky Race: Can you do the escape at the end every time? - Master Race was almost flawless. Congrats on that level alone.

- Hmm, have you tried getting the jump at the end of Dizzy Race? what jump? - Tower Race was nice, is the dizzying at the end intentional? yes, i think it's faster - You don't use an easy timesaver in Up Race, worth about a second, I'll see if I still have the video... oh, very nice :D i've once managed to fall on the upper part of the elevators on that big loop, but i can't reproduce it, i have to fall on the lower floor and then take the elevator. but your way sure helps hehe - There was a shortcut at the end of Odd Race... you could jump down somewhere... i'd like to see it too - Toob Race... I don't remembet, after that 8-ball, are the tubes linked random? Because the other way way way simpler. it's ramdom, and i think the upper path is faster, because you have more room to move. i was just trying to be way too fast that's why i fell so many times there.. :( - Sky Race: Can you do the escape at the end every time? nope, that's rare :) i was inspired i guess hehe - Master Race was almost flawless. Congrats on that level alone thx!

this one. (My decoders are f**ed up atm, so I can only hope this plays well with you. It should be h264/mp3) About Odd Race, I think you could drop to death from somewhere and get revived firther ahead, like in Up Race, but I can't find the spot anymore.

it worked for me. nice trick :) but since i have to wait instead of jumping in as fast as possible, this sounds like a risky maneuver (if it works it saves a little time indeed). I'll have to try and see if it can be consistently pulled off.

It's easier than the jump on Intermediate actually.

btw, on the odd race, i remember now having once broken the growth sequence, i could be a small hamster ball at that last part. but that's a problem because the small ball moves so much slower. maybe that was the shortcut you remembered?

Very nice! I'm glad to see you used the mousetrap. :D About Odd Race, yeah, I fell somewhere once, before everything gets tiny, and then the camera scrolled all the way to the end of the level where I was miraculously teleported. No idea how to reproduce it.
