Hi guys.
Not sure this is a good idea, considering it's basically a direct port of the N64 version. Anyhow, I was playing it today and discovered a minor shortcut that may save a second or two in The Sanctuary of Rock and Lava.
After progressing past the first section and killing the pirate, you will need to jump on a floating platform. Kill some zombie chickens and you will come to a boardwalked section of the level that goes in a kind of half-square shape. There will be barrels rolling down one of the sections. The player is meant to climb all the way to the top, then use a handy purple lum to swing across to a window. Instead, bounce on one of the barrels when under the window. You will get just enough height to trigger the green lum. It should then just be a matter of dying to respawn in the window (note: I didn't do this because I wanted to preserve my health). May be worth considering (perhaps even in a potential Rayman 2 run, I can't remember how different the equivalent level is).
Perhaps route-planning can happen in this thread. I just tried running the ROM in DeSmuME under Mac OS X, and it was extremely slow and screwed up. It may be a while before we have a fully playable ROM.
That's all. Peace out.
Cheers,
