Whoa that was unexpectedly badass..I was expecting the checkpoint SC that had already been discovered on that track.
EDIT-I gave it a shot on my good old N64, couldn't do it..I only tried a few times, but still, it looked pretty straight forward on the video.
I lol at you, sir, for you think you are the only one to have used this GS code before. It has been a while since I messed around with GS in this game, but I remember enough to call you out. Using the "Walk Up Hills" code posted above allows you to walk up virtually any hill. It also lets you walk underwater in the outside the castle area. But when you enter the moat door, even if you have drained the moat, you will start swimming immediately. (if you have drained the moat, you will be in invisible water). So thank you, come again. Maybe next time you'll fail less. :|
Also, I'll be happy to take a video of this to prove my point.
Was the SC you took on CM optimized? (Talking about the one where you jump the wall and land on the other part of the track.) You got a great jump, but after you landed you kinda hugged the right wall, don't know if that was slower or not.
I just heard from Mitani that you can tap A in hover and plane, but only after reaching top speed, and you aren't supposed to tap as fast..I'm not sure how to do it, because I tried and failed..maybe you should talk to them? I'm not suggesting you redo the whole thing.
Some of that may be true, but there is no doubt that this 0xwas person is for real. He's amazing! I've seen a vid of his, he's not a cheater, he's for real.
My bad, I did forget the savestate. =/
Well, if you still want it, here it is

The first "run" in the movie is me HOLDING A, the second "run" is without holding A.
I did a test, and this vid will show that barrel rolls are indeed faster when you are not holding A.

I hope it's not too hard, if you plan on redoing. =/
