0 down time? You mean like this TAS? I wonder how fast a TAS would be at rapid fire input lol

I find the rules for that speedrun kind of weird. It doesn't allow using the "I lost it" or "Lord Xeen" codes at the mirror, but it does allow warping to Shangri-La and all of the dungeons?

You can't really survive Shangri-La without having Town Portal, and it's really not worth it unless you've got hundreds of thousands of gold. I can see three major branches for the Xeen games - absolute fastest, fastest with plot, and no mirror. The question is now, why just 4 (or just 5) and not both 4+5 together?

That's because the portal codes for Shangri-La and the dungeons are found in game as part of a regular playthrough, whereas the codes for I Lost It and Lord Xeen are debug codes that can only be found by opening the executable in a hex editor.
