Yeah I missed a lot of stuff in my previous run lol. This one was a lot better stratwise; movementwise, the beginning was pretty slow, but I think the second half was pretty good (wind chill was rough but honestly this is probably the fastest I've ever done it lmao). The biggest timesave I've really thought about is a cornerjump after the crumble blocks in icicle path, but I decided against it because I wasn't sure it would even save a second barrier (I don't think it would have; this seems to be a pretty high 39). I'm sure you could do 38 or even 37 by cleaning up movement/adding some slightly more ham stuff (there's probably a disgusting clip somewhere in wind chill that saves over a minute), but I don't think I really want to go for it, a high 39 is satisfying to end on and I don't want to have to care about wind chill optimizing unless somebody can find a strat better than the walljump skip I do rn

Frame advance is heavily encouraged when viewing this tas
This tas aims to beat Carolines true ending as fast as possible, which involves beating the game with all the cores and then beating 2 secret levels that can be accessed after the normal end of the game. As part of beating the true ending, the tas also completes the normal ending 100% with a time of 2:11.80. The recording was made by simply recording what comes out of the tas tool, which is sometimes not faithful to the game visually and especially audibly (this is why the music at the end is so weird). My setup for recording sound is also not great, and this is the reason for the crackling heard at the beginning as well as the washed out sound throughout. I dont really know how to improve on this right now in an easy way, but I may look into it more in the future.
Caroline is a portal demake based off of celeste classics engine made by meep moop with some levels by myself. You can play it free here: https://meepmoop.itch.io/caroline. Huge thanks to Gonengazit for developing celia, the pico 8 tas tool, and thanks to Mirkwood for adding in mouse support and player 2 controls that are needed to tas Caroline.")
