Many mistakes in this run, but Eat at Joe's and Crystal Palace were particularly bad.
To be improved!

Eat at Joe's ruins so many runs that I feel like it should be its own category of suffering.

There is a reason I briefly had the smiley pointed at a picture of Joe in my signature back in 2014

I am so pleased with this run, played really well throughout and managed to keep my cool, even after failing stormer skip skip by the tiniest amount. Been very motivated to pb lately, and now it's done!

Was that because of the fish? They are much easier to handle once you understand you can punch them, though!

Mainly yes, also the fact that he was acting all friendly while sending Rayman through some of the most dangerous levels in the game.
Also IIRC I knew even then they could be punched, but that knowledge didn't prove very helpful to me at the time
