It's a lot of trial and error, and it evolves as new strategies are discovered, but in the case of Rayman 1 I'm pretty sure it hasn't changed in many years, making it just a matter of execution.

I’m pretty sure a game-breaking speedrun glitch was found recently, kinda the barrier skip of rayman speed runs

Yeah, I did not mention it as it's so game-breaking it basically gave birth to a whole new category.

I'm not even sure how it really works but it doesn't look very interesting to me, especially when compared to a standard run of the game.
