Sheep, Dog 'n' Wolf (PC version - known as "Sheep Raider" in NTSC regions)

This is my current speedgame, until Gossamer frustrates me enough to make me never run it again.

My first run attempts went surprisingly well, the game is a decent speedrun, although it's quite unforgiving - the smallest mistake costs between 10 seconds and a minute because death is instant and reverts all progress since the last checkpoint(I will sometimes use this as a death warp).

SD'n'W is a 2001 PSX-era cel-shaded 3D puzzle platformer, based on Warner Bros. cartoons by Infogrames, in which you control RalpherZ(Ralph Wolf) and are tasked with stealing sheep from FrankerZ(Sam Sheepdog) in a series of levels of increasing complexity.

I'll do the Any% category which means I'll not be collecting any Time Clocks(this game's collectibles, getting which usually entails going through an additional mini-puzzle in every level), and I'll not do bonus or secret levels, only the 15 levels required to get to the credits. I'll be splitting at the end of each Individual Level, and the time will end when I put the black sheep into the circle in Ralphs house(this ends the game).

This game suffers from the same problems that many 3rd person PS1 3D games do: terrible camera. Often I will randomly either lose or gain control of it, it will shift to random angles, or it will keep swapping between fixed / following Ralph for no reason. This makes navigating through some of the levels REALLY tricky. Some other things that can screw me is sheep randomly forgetting how to sheep, dog forgetting how to dog, wolf forgetting how to wolf, my controller forgetting how to analog stick, or some of this game's puzzles just being particularly annoying(such as every single part of the last level).
