I absolutely agree. We should totally have a discord for the community, for now it'll be pretty small but I think that as the game gets older our community will grow.
Pretty sure since there are only two mods confirming new records might take a little while to be updated. Your run does look good btw.
Maybe try sliding up the bannisters backwards? Maybe there isn't a cap to the backwards movement like in Mario 64.
Man I'm really looking to see more optimization in the traveling. I wonder if there were ways to either float or if there were speed glitches.
Hey have you tried moving diagonally to move slightly faster? That might help cut down a bit of time.
Edit: spelling
So while I was trying for speed runs (my fastest one has a glitch where it skips the beginning part of level 3), but while I played the other levels, I noticed that the minimum possible time to end level 1s boss is at 1:28, (the boss only taking 12 seconds) this includes spam shooting and never getting hot once. In the opening bit for the lvl1 boss, you can jump and fire two shots, both hot, and then roll under the first attack, the second you can land 1 and roll, and after that you can land between 2 and 4 shots killing the boss. Just thought to share that with you all.
