Wow, it has been a while since this thread has been posted in. I am the current RTA WR holder in this game and the RTA record has gone down a lot since this thread was active. The RTA record was 1:02 when Dwainium posted his last WIP but now, the RTA record is currently sitting at just under 55 minutes.

A couple of discoveries have been made since the last WIP with the most major being that you can skip pretty much the whole of the third section of Skyline Stretch by jumping from the beginning of the section up to the top where the end of the level is. It saves close to a minute compared to playing through the whole section. Dwainium has not worked on the TAS in quite a while from what I know so this game has been in a static position for quite some time went it comes to a TAS. This game would make for a great TAS with numerous skips which have not been implemented in an RTA run but TASing this game has its step backs. We do have to TAS the GC version which has noticeable disadvantages compared to the XBOX version (the fastest version for RTA runs). Loads are much slower, the framerate is worse which meaningfully slows down the run and some skips are patched in the GameCube version which is a real shame. And with a new massive skip in the second level, the TAS would have to be restarted.
I just thought I'd give an update on this game. This is a game I am very fond of and I am hoping that it will receive a TAS one day.
