    Might as well get a thread going for Speed Run times, anyone else think they might add some more speed run levels on DLC??

    LEAP OF FAITH: 54.47
    PHASE: 25.43
    JUMPMAN: 35.85
    CROSSING THE GAP: 47.68
    IMPASSABLE FOLIAGE: 2:07.83
    FULL GAME: Not yet, thats next..... :S

    Impassable Foliage is an absolute BITCH, those 3 Plant dudes are so annoying at the end of the level.

    Full Game, finished the game 3 times in 2 days but have been taking my time, gonna try a Speed Run next, but could take me awhile (my last attempt was about an hour and a half...) not sure i'll ever do it! :(

    No. The game has a point. More levels would be bad for the game as a consistent vision and from an integrity standpoint.

    No, i mean the producers should take more levels that are already in the game and add them to the Speed Run section, with only 5 levels at the moment they could easily add more. ;)

    I seem to always get within a half a second of all the level runs.  I can't fathom how to do things any faster. D:

    I haven't tried the full game yet.

    For Impassable Foliage, an easy trick is to get up to the 3 plants, drop the ring under the middle one, then when all the plants are down at the same time, quickly hit X then RB to freeze time.  Let the goombas just waltz through.

    if i remember rightly, once you've gone all the way to the right of the level to get the piece you can rewind time back to the start of the level without losing the puzzle piece.

    should shave some time off

    By far the best speed run videos out there right now (total completion time is under 32 minutes) :
