so far my friend Rayku (from smashboards) and i are going to try and tackle the world record time of 2:40:05 set by Daniel 'Gibbatizer' Gibb on April 30th, '09 for Banjo Kazooie (N64). his run can be viewed here:

i was wondering if anyone else is interested in helping out with this, whether it be sharing shortcuts that Daniel Gibb's run doesn't already cover or partaking in the run itself. Rayku and I have already deduced strategies that should shave off a good 5 minutes from the current world record, however that's assuming we master his route as well as add our shortcuts to it, which isn't easy for a single-segment run.
flaws in the world record run:
*on Treasure Trove Cove he doesn't fly into the chest in the alcove; not only would flying disable the Obtain Jiggy animation but it would enable you to continue to fly up to the top of TTC without having to return to the flight pad.
*on Gobi's valley he runs into the sand to obtain the jiggies, rather than flying and grabbing them while still in the air. yes this is VERY hard to do but it would allow you to complete that part of the level much quicker as you could continue the flight you're in to go and get other jiggies after getting the notes, rather than running out of the sand and back to the flight pad
*On Rusty Bucket Bay he wastes literally 1.5-2 minutes trying to glitch through the window to get to the propellers quicker. this can easily be done within 10-20 seconds if mastered
*also on RBB he takes the easy way out of the shark's cage. yes the shark's cage is notorious for ending speedrun attempts as escaping through the smaller hole is extremely difficult, however it's a risk i'm willing to take
*on Click Clock Wood, he falls, resulting in ~2 minutes being necessary to scale back up the mountain. that suuuuuucks
*on Grunty's Furnace Fun he answers a ton of questions wrong; it'd be much smarter to have a file with all the answers in front of you on a computer and you could CTRL + F the answers
other than that it was an amazing run, but i think i can beat it. the more help the better, though
thanks
