@oreb7650 Is the leading runner in Gain Ground Easy Mode speedruns. Their last world record is 14:32, but their goal is to get sub-14:30. I for one believe it is entirely plausible, given the nature of this game! So while I'm not one to play those narrow-minded runs in favor of strategy varriety, I still want to do my part, and have been looking into ways to reduce levels on an individual basis- here's some time saves I've come up with!

Sure, they're all in World 5, and attempting them could be risky given the lack of continues once you reach that world, but in the end, I believe anyone could do them consistently with enough practice. Out of all 3, 5-3 is definetly the safest, with the ability to take some extra time to increase the general safety of the strat!
Oh, and here's a link to an unlisted 5-1 strat I came up with back in October. I sent it to Oreb7 for discussion in a comment; we didn't do much with it.

Consider it a bonus for reading the description!
Also ain't that cursed; an Arial video that doesn't use Chill-Dash-Four.
Eh- I felt like mixing it up for once ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Chill-Dash-Four will return, don't you worry...
