Found a way to be able to complete tall plains early using the minigames menu.

For context the minigames menu is something that is supposed to allow you to replay certain setpieces but its supposed to boot you back into the main menu in theory

However, Dying in the tall plains minigame glitches the game and allows you to continue past where the minigame is supposed to end

You carryover the inventory and save slot of the most recently created (EDIT: Actually the most recently loaded), file.

If it was say a save file of the final boss you could carry over earth breath into tall plains.

This also means if the last created file was in say swamp, you would be in theory be skipping Swamp, aerial skies, dantes freezer. And Most of tall plains

This saves 15 minutes off of a 38 minute category. But this definitely should be a category split.

(Also PS Dont submit this to leaderboards because i had autofire on from testing)
