Oh, that's the one you mentioned last night that allows you to pick up the yellow Lums and return to the green Lum by falling into the water, thereby saving the detour at the beginning of the map? Now that I see the video I get it.

With a time like this Torcnein would have won both the Rayman 2 AND Rayman 3 categories for the contest, but he's lucky that aulos plays All Masks. :lol:

Early game could've been better but I am so surprised that water & ice didn't ruin my run, mid game was decent, late game was good until beneath rock and lava, end game was the best I've ever done.

Yeah, he's improved his trifecta (running the full trilogy) time a lot lately.

Over two and a half minutes shorter than Manocheese's former world record, very nice.
Well, he held the records for the Any% and Treasure% categories on N64 so it's not surprising he went for 100% as well!

Early Echoing Caves saves a ton of time. In exchange for an entirely worse gamefeel, I think early echoing caves the trick itself might actually be easier on this version? Either way, I think I can save 10 minutes off this run to compare to a perfect PC run of this route.

 
Well done! Early Echoing Caves saves a lot of time, but even with the 10 minute time save, it will still be 30 minutes longer than the best PC runs.

Forgot about doing the race before tomb... Still ended up being not too bad.

Rayman 1 seems to have a lot more runs going on compared to Rayman 2 interestingly.

For my first run with early ec I'm happy with how the run went and I might come back to this category but this time is going to be difficult to beat.

 
Yeah, beating the previous record was expected since it used the old route but even then things went pretty well here.
