So recently, the community found out that you can skip the Zurg cutscene in Zurg's world (with the use of menu storage), which saves quite some time. Video: Because of that, the community has conceived a new any% route where you do Toy Story before Tarzan.

So here's a timing overview:

The Tarzan cutscene (where you free the Apes on Clayton's ship) takes 10 seconds.

The Zurg cutscene takes 10 seconds and then you have the Rex cutscene which takes 7 seconds (17 total).

With Zurg cutscene skip, it takes 2 seconds to skip the cutscene (with perfect menu storage and good menuing) and then you have to watch the Rex cutscene (which takes 9 seconds total).

This is essentially means that if we do the Zurg cutscene skip (and it is executed very well), it saves 8 seconds over not doing it. If we do Toy Story before Tarzan and the cutscene skip is executed very well, it will save one second compared the Tarzan first route.

The issue with this is that the Zurg cutscene skip is pretty hard to do and usually requires a setup. Setting up the skip too slowly loses time and flat-out missing the cutscene skip loses 7 seconds compared to the Tarzan route (even more depending on how long your failed setup was).

Because of this, it is best for newer runners to do the Tarzan route as it is much easier and less risky. The Toy Story first route should only really be attempted by top runners and even then, it is a high risk low reward route which may not be worth it.
