Also GG to everyone and thanks for organising this contest. It made a lot of fun grinding this.
If you want to see my final run you can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgJvq7LuRT8.
The biggest time save compared to the run of torcnein comes from the gateskip in lotld3. It's a really tough and precise damage boost but with practice and the little trick of pressing the jump Button multiple times right after getting hit made it actually doable. Still not that easy as it might look like in my run. Got very lucky with first try.
Skipping the third level also means i had to get more points in the first two levels. Thats why you can see me collecting almost every single point in the first Level. I think that's best, since you get a lot of points along the way while playing through the level here. I have also completely skipped the first room in the second Level because there are not too many points within a short time. In the end I defeated the Hoodlums because with the help of the red can you can do it quickly and it brings good points. I also packed the Tribelle into a combo for another quick points. The Matuvu was only a backup. But if you get everything you do not need him.
The run had a few mistakes at the end and I actually wanted to improve it to a sub 14, but I didn't had the time. I think a low 13 should be possible. I'm still happy with it and looking forward to the next contest.

Impressive run! I tried to do one of the skips that requires you to take damage from the hoodlums, but I was never able to do it. Also, the Crazy Shoe segments can be very frustating.

Thanks for sharing, guys! It's very insightful to see the techniques you used to optimize both score and time. And indeed, the recent discovery of the gateskip was providential!
