Rayman 3 speedrunning

[EricZen]

This level felt so long I would never have thought it possible to finish it in just 3 minutes AND in NMG...

I wonder if many levels actually take longer than that to beat in NMG.

Most of the levels can be done within 3 minutes and in NMG nowadays. Besides dotk1 its just the Levels in Tower of Leptis that take longer than 3 minutes to complete. And thats with all of them besides the first one.

Thought so! With the various damage boosts and superjumps still allowing for a lot of shortcuts even in NMG, it's really the levels where the end of the level is very far from the beginning as the crow flies that take the longest.

GG on the new NMG record, Eric! Lot of ILs in that run too.

And it's cool to see more people playing NMG, the recent discoveries seem to have made this category more popular.

[EricZen]

It must be frustrating how this damage boost in Hoodlum Headquarters 2 is at the very end of the segment, at least it's more convenient in TLOTLD3.

Not only that, the damage boost is like 10 times harder and you can easily break one of the nmg rules by going oob to the left or getting pushed through the geometry of the fence.

Thank you for the GGs.
I don't think it was the recent discoveries. If anything it would people wanna play the category less because there are quite tricky when not even dumb like the damage boost in hhq2. Still its also makes me quite happy to see more people speedrunning this game.
