1. You open the game
2. You grab a stopwatch
3. You try going as fast as you can with minimal failure.
4. ??????

If you take the machine gun you can skip a good part of waterway using pause buffering.

You can BLJ off of the cage in Mimiga village to get the spur early.

Also the snake is very good for speedrunning hell, as it allows you to skip the waiting times for the deleets.

BLJ?

Yeah, the Snake is considered the best weapon for speedrunning Hell, but I think that most get MG...

Thanks!

The whole game.
If you use slopes and Booster 2.0 right, you can have extreme air time with a long launch. Its slightly faster. Most challenges mods I make abuse that fact.

You mean with the super-fast MG flying?

Actually, I think that there is a sign that says, "Out." if you manage to get up there.

What does BLJ mean?

You mean at the part where the water goes up?

1. Backwards long jump. If you want to see people doing it, Google it.

2. No, it's actually this:

Boost into a slope and jump at the right moment and you'll be launched forwards. If timed perfectly you can get some insane momentum by doing this.
It also works with flat surfaces, but it's much harder to do. Your feet will have to be level with the tile you want to boost launch on, then boost into it and jump at the right moment, which should be just as you come into contact with it.

I can't really give you any better advice about exactly when to jump. You just need to practice a lot and you should be able to get it into muscle memory eventually.
Oh, I see.

interesting. I've never seen anything like this before.

When going through, save time by gathering minimal life capsules and by damage boosting your way through the earlier parts; once you get the 2.0 though, it trivializes the whole point of damage boosting.
Get the missile launcher in grasstown if you don't wanna waste time in the egg corridor (this means beating the shit out of Igor with the polar star)
Of course dying at all kills the run, speedruns for cs are definitely in the perfectionist section and you can't afford a death.
In the sand zone find some good times to damage boost like in the 2nd half and get good at scoring the enemies with the machine gun and use the missile launcher at certain intervals when you're certain an enemy can be mowed down by it
Toroko+ is insane, just kinda get lucky with invincibility frames and missile hits.

One problem. YOU CAN'T LONG JUMP IN CAVE STORY.

Just make sure to build up speed for 12 hours.

To clarify, in order to get the star "Watch for falling blocks" in 0.5 Z presses, it involves quote building up speed for 12 hors to travel several QPUs.
