Optimisations.
4 years ago

Growing up world record currently stands at 23:26 by me. But I've been trying to get a time lower. Lets put down all of the optimisations we need to get my world record down to sub 23.

Movement:

Movement is key to any speedrun, including here. In my run, I had quite sloppy movement, with better movement we could save ~5 Seconds from the speedrun. Bringing it down to 23:21

Resets:

I did quite a few resets in my run. But there is another one that I missed out on, @Gxmer1pro found that you can reset after receiving the 20 coins you get from Farmer John, this saves 14 Seconds. Time now is 23:07

Drone Race:

The drone race is challenging to do fast, I've somehow done it in 4 seconds in the past. In my run, however, I did it in 7 Seconds. Finishing it in 4 Seconds is extremely hard but if done, could save another 3 seconds. Time now is 23:04

Constellations:

Constellations are hard, we can all agree on that, and needs a lot of time to get good at spotting them fast. In my run, I've lost about 2 seconds due to getting the 3rd one wrong. Time is 23:02

Just generally others:

I lost 2 seconds in Age 5 and another second in age 6, because of me being an idiot in those areas. We can save another 1-2 seconds if we perfect those areas of the game. If we save the 3 seconds I lost, we can bring the time down to 22:59, getting sub 23 by a single second!

I cant think of any other time saves as of writing, so if you have any other suggestions (or if I get another world record by chance), leave them down in the replies section. I will add them on here if they save any time.

constellations are so easy though, legit just look at the shape and select which one looks like it so ez

Just got 22:30!

A glitch happened in age 18 which cost about 3 seconds, REALLY sloppy barn (2 seconds time loss)

Without the glitch, I could have got a 22:27, fixing the sloppy barn it could go down to 22:25.

Edit: Just found a new thing, its a very small boost you get. I don't think its a glitch and it could save ~5-15 seconds throughout the run! If I save 10 seconds with it, then the time goes down to 22:15

Here is a vid of me explaining it:

Also, constellations are kind of hard to spot when your on a timer like in speedruns. @Jzwhale

Unarchiving Legacy Categories

Hi everypony,

Back in the day when categories would go out of date, I would just make them miscellaneous and replace them with new ones. However, when the site rework happened a couple years ago, I opted in favour of just archiving the categories but, unfortunately, speedrun.com does not allow you
