Things have gotten busy again and I don’t have a lot of free time anymore. Plus, I’d like to use the free time I do have for finishing my time attack, so I have to hold off the MM speed runs until then.
I did do more tests though, and my conclusion is that Bisqwit’s order is the top tier run. The savestate Elecman run was 13:48, which is at least 11 seconds faster than Gutsman. It also does Elecman first, which is my weakest level in the game. So if you want the best times, practice your runs using Bisqwit’s order.
Btw, here’s how to get the magnet beam out.
1. Do the ladder glitch.
2. Once you are on the left side, do a full jump. At the very height of your jump, press right. It should put you on level with the magnet beam. (If it didn’t work, then it wasn’t the height of your jump.)
3. Now tap right then left quickly (or hold right+left, release right, is easier). This allows you to face left without activating the wall glitch.
4. Keep moving slowly to the left, making sure that you are still partially in the wall, until you grab the magnet beam. Then, do a jump to activate the wall glitch and fall back to the bottom of the screen.
5. Tap right then left quickly (or hold right+left, release right) to leave the wall.
If you practice it a bit, you will be able to do the whole thing smoothly like in the recording.
