In this tas, Captain Viridian teleports back and forth, and is then smacked into a wall so hard he think he's saved everyone.

After playing around with text storage a bit (okay, a lot) I found this. So I made a run of it. It's short. Using normal RTA timing, the run is 0:48.07.
Glitches used
Intro skip
I suicide to get out of the introduction level. Normally this is used to skip the second intermission as well, but we never reach that point.
Telejump
Recently discovered by CtrlAltDelicious, telejumping allows you to be catapulted out of a teleporter. Normally used to clip into walls, I use it for a small speed boost when going back to the ship. Except now with the updated version I don't.
Text storage
Exiting the game while you're in a dialog causes the dialog state to carry over. Combine this with level completion, trinket collection and teleporting for weird results. Apparently it also allows you to beat the game really, really fast.
No, that's about it, really.
