Real PB was 1:20:02 at the time, but this is the only legit submission I'll be able to provide. It was a good run and better than I actually expected considering the several level reloads. And also nice to have gotten sub-TAS ;3

messy execution (i should've avoided begoniax's toad-ing but i kinda suck at dodging in this game, but ill grind it out xP), also need to learn the skip strats people are able to do in this game

Since when did the GameCube have achievements? Or is Torc talking about RetroAchievements?

1:42 looks very doable even without the bs strats, but idk if I'm willing to put myself through the pain and agony this category is.

I never realised how much time “major” glitches shave off the R3 time. :o

Yes the game has some pretty broken glitches. You really dont play this game anymore in any%. You just glitch yourself to the end of the Level immidiatly. And even with the minor glitches we still manage to save over 20 minutes compared to a glitchless run.

That's why I like NMG a lot more for Rayman 3, I appreciate the skill required to play the "classic" Any% but I find NMG much more entertaining to watch.

I think there either has to be lots of glitches involved or no glitches at all to get my attention.

Any% is a lot of glitches, I don't know if there's a glitchless section.
