Credits to Khan Fusion for discover this possibility of single bat strat major skip:

His attempt without pausing midair: [ Ссылка ]
First original discovery of bat strat: [ Ссылка ]
EDIT:
Check out this amazing IL speedrun done by speedylff using this strat:

So it turns out that the bat strat was first used by cullibs (unless there is any more earlier videos which I can't find), which is later used in my 100% deathless run of Level 9, but somehow Khan Fusion discovered that one single bat can actually be used to skip the entire level to gorilla! However, this method is very difficult to attempt, until it is found that pausing multiple times in the midair actually ease the process a little. Thanks to cullibs and Khan Fusion for the discovery of this insane but possible strat. There is still a lot of experiment needed to determine whether this is usable in any% run.
Update: It is confirmed to be faster to use this bat strat with some luck involved, check the latest runs here: [ Ссылка ]
Note: The video may seems lag a few times, but its actually just me abusing the pause frequently.
