Sub 58 minutes is definitely possible if you're perfect. i can't see it getting substantially faster unless some glitches are found.

In case some don't know about the GBA version since it's a lot less popular than the console counterpart:
This is the port of Pac-Man World 2 for GBA, ran with the GameCube accessory the GameBoy Player, using a GameCube controller.

As far as I know, there aren't many sequence breaks in this game, unless more glitches are found, so playing the game pretty straightforward and just going as fast as possible. The rev jump (holding B for a split second and then jumping with A) is the optimal way to move as far as I know, giving you most control and allows you to move over most hazards with ease. It is also the most optimal way to jump the farthest, and you can extend it with a flip kick at the end (pressing B before hitting the ground). So, most of the run is either running through the levels, ignoring most collectibles (unless it is required to progress through that specific level), and spamming rev jumps to get more speed.

Differences from the console version are extremely noticeable, the game opts for 2D sprites rather than 3D models, with it being a GameBoy Advance game and all. It also completely removes Blinky's Killer Frog boss fight, condenses the Forest World into one level, and completely removes the water world. Game opts for a password save, much like the original Crash Bandicoot, (which we opt to ignore in this speedrun).
