I24: Upward Spiral

IsraeliRD on his grind to get 23.286:

''Upward Sprial 's new record is now 23.286 seconds with getting the first time travel at 19.56 seconds (my 2nd best time at getting it was 19.76 and the normal one is 19.87, 19.88 and 19.89) and getting the third very nicely and easily stopped for the super jump to the next part, then the last super jump, bit of spin + speed control and super speed + jumping to the end at new record!

My 2nd best time is 24.597 and 3rd best time is 24.737 due to the fact I got the first time travel between 20 to 20.80 seconds. It's hard to get sub-20, but a great start should do it (not stopping at all and jumping like mad, lol). Even with practice it's hard.''

IsraeliRD with some new stuff on Feb. 10th 2006:

''And I found another sweet sweet shortcut in Upward Spiral and if I'll work on it a little bit more I can get a very nice sub-23 seconds path. I'm not gonna try it anymore for now (I got a 23.52 seconds video showing the new path, but had I got that first time travel at 19.50 or lower [preferrably my 19.38 seconds], I could've done sub-23 in that very video).

Edit -

After using some new tricks that came from my sleeve (it seems endless now :P), I am happy to annouce the new record:

23.114 seconds for Upward Spiral.

I am now heading for sub-23 (which is very possible). Wish me good luck (going to do it tomorrow probably).''

Vader discussing a trick idea on June 15th 2006

''We use this in MBU and Im pretty sure it is possible in MBG.

At the second rocket, you have to slow down, then rocket to pass under the wall when you go around. To not only avoid this but also get the time travel faster, come onto the rocket with a lot of speed, use it, and then fly off the right side of the loop before you go around it to avoid the wall and launch yourself near the first time travel.''
