I just noticed that you can run faster diagonally in Rayman Revolution when using a PS3 controller and thought it was worth sharing. 👋

Just curious, does it have the same effect when you're playing with a PS4 controller?

To do better I should practice the different Dammage Boost and Lum Boost but I still have a lot of trouble with them. ( Canopy :/ )
So I'm quite satisfied, unless a lot of people get motivated to run this, in which case I'll try to improve!

GG Torsinn! Fairy Glade did not start so well but the overall time save is impressive. 😎

Region: USA / NTSC
Payman wrote:I was surprisingly close to the goal time of 2:19 N64 100% this run. My early game was bad since I died twice on Damage Bayoust. Mid game was mediocre lost time in almost every level especially in Stone and Fire. Late game was good, except for a small time loss in Rock and Lava. Finally, End game was almost the best I've ever done biggest time saves are in Prison Ship and Crow's Nest. I'm happy I held together with how bad the beginning was, I still plan to grind this category until 2:19 is achieved.

Congratulations Payman on the new WR for N64 100%! Maybe you'll get fast kill on the final boss next time. 😬

I wonder if there are any tips for getting the Bayou GLM so fast? This just seems so random to me.
