Hi there we just uploaded a 13:14 run of this game, we had an almost perfect run but the main timesave is a trick we like to call baby skip

Its as easy as leaving the game AFTER you put the ticket on the ticket machine and then joining back therefore skipping the whole "building a boat" cutscene, saving around 4-8 seconds overall

We dont personally think its a glitch itself because we use the save mechanic of the game but we respect the mods decision

Hey, I understood what is the problem, I will try to explain my point.

So, why do we see this run as an Any%:

First of all, this basically interrups the original linear gameplay of the game, making a speedrunner do more than just completing the levels of the game.

Second of all, this skips a part of the game.

And lastly, the most serious problem is lack of good internet connection and good system power. This problem is actually affecting our runs, we are currently just unable to beat the Any% Glitchless WR. So just remember, that not everyone will save 4-8 seconds on your skip. Judging by how slowly do lobbies create on my pc and by how high is my teammtes ping, we just can't do this skip properly, and unfortunately I just can not verify it as an Any% Glitchless category run.

The run itself is clean tho, so u guys should definitely try to set a good time without the baby skip :)

Also, 1st place on Any% is not bad too haha gl

Thanks for answering, we'll take your feedback and do our best in glitchless
