Final time is 3:01.

My personal best is 2:58, you can watch that run here: [ Ссылка ]

Boy there was a lot more time to save off my old run than I ever thought.

The main reason I was able to get a time this time was because I abused using a pre-made save file with perfect conditions.

The run I did in May, took literally dozens upon dozens of resets just for the correct paths. This made it exceptionally hard to optimize the run and get a good time. Using pre-made saves allowed me to grind a save with perfect conditions so I could more easily achieve a really good time.

I can see that people might have an issue with this seeing just how controversial things like Manipulated Jinjo save files are in Banjo-Tooie, this is a similar situation. In both this and Tooie, all it does is make it easier to optimize a run and avoid bad RNG, but at the cost that it's not really starting from a new game. People do it all the time in Tooie and I really wanted to optimize this run so I figured why not.

Please post your thoughts about using pre-made saves whether it doesn't bug you or you think it should be banned.

Now onto the run itself, this was about as good of a run as it gets, meaning this was the god run aside from the last few chokes at the end, but that was under pressure since this was such a good run. I even got really good luck with the wall climbing room, that is a big killer to many of my runs. Ideally you'd just gun for the end without stopping, but I didn't risk it.

I do see a 2:50 being possible if I played absolutely perfect with zero mistakes and on the 1997 version for the 5 second advantage, sub 3 would have been nice but I figured this was still very good.

Since I've now learned the full power of pre-made saves, this opens up so many possibilities for what I can speedrun next and how much I can improve my old times. I may try to improve my Pajama Sam 2 time and reclaim world record, then get a really good All Socks run. Then I definitely see myself running Spy Fox 2 and 3 using pre-made saves. The main reason I didn't before was because there would be so many resets just because of bad paths, but this gets around that and I can get a good time with pre-made saves.
