with layer switch glitch you can, i thought i already showed you that :P but you just cant get out of layer switch glitch which is the one problem. and as for sprite overload, i cant seem to figure out how to.
I've also tried use the force down Yoshi recieves if he doesn't enter the wall enough while in the ceiling to grab the key, but Yoshi doesn't get quite far enough into the wall to pull in the key, even if I jump off him near the bottom so that he stays in the wall a bit longer.
i have two ideas, not sure if either are possible. one, boost at the coin block wall, could you grab the coin before it turns into a block? probably not so you could try... using the key to maybe boost yourself through the roof next to the coin wall and stay in the ceiling and walk over the wall. either of those work?
Just stop ducking after clipping the corner so you can survive.
A lot of those 44 seconds had nothing to do with the route change. The route change really did just save a few seconds. In my opinion, this actually makes it pretty cool because I always wanted desert route to work and I think it's neat that it is just barely faster, and without some of the tricks known now (for example dw2b) it's actually slower, so the fact that new tricks have been found changed the route on the any%. Great!
I am surprised that this route change only saves a few seconds.
If I remember correctly, some frame rule prevents the "welcome" screen from ending earlier...
