The characters throw their partners either far or high. Squidward throw combines high and far, so that, along with the jump boost he gets from defeating enemies with the jump kick (also useful for beating bosses quicker) ive found ways to use to my advantage for speed.
Yes i have beaten itSUPER quicker with squidward than with the others ... Especially considering how hard the fire jellies are without the octo copter --' (by hard, i mean they take SO LONG!)
Sounds like a good reason to use SRAM to me. Is there a hard mode? If there is one that's unlocked after the first time you finish the game, you could use that for your run, and you'd have two reasons to start from save data. And yes, it would be a good idea to post the tricks you know and the route you're thinking of while you're waiting to be ungrounded.
Yeah theres a hard mode but it only basically applies to the minigames.
Only the jellies cause the other characters trouble? Since you STILL haven't told us how long compared to squidward (seriously, "SO LONG" isn't a time), can you please tell me what stage they appear on? I'm going to test TAS it and compare.
They appear in the volcano on mu continent after getting the music. I guess theres ways that the other characters might be faster, but squid is faster for me on the ACTUAL volcano, and can easily take the jellies out in a matter of seconds, thus a faster run Also, the Other characters dont take that long, but the fastest and most efficient way to do most things where i could use squidward but instead use someone else is pats hip slam, which takes time to charge, and makes him walk slow. There i used the edit feature. Happy?
