Your start location depends on which exit you took on the previous mission(Air Base).
My start location is a lot faster, but it's not required to be able to finish this in time.
If you want to change your start location you can always replay the previous mission on easier difficulty and use the other exit.
Lowering that Hoverbike at 0:16 allows you to use it in the next mission(Crash Site).
It's nice to have it for some extra speed at the beginning of that level. And it only takes an extra second(no extra time at all if you do it the way I did as you have to wait for the elevator anyway). So there really isn't much reason not to do it.
It also helps getting that level done fast enough to unlock the target time cheat

Keep in mind that you can always change weapons/items using the pause menu.
It's extremely useful in a lot of situations and can help you a lot.
I rarely use it in these new recordings so it doesn't interrupt with the gameplay too often.
That's why I want to remind you here for anyone who uses these as guides.
There is a control option called "Legacy"(similiar to N64 version default controls) in the "Advanced Control" section of the settings menu.
Using it allows you to strafe run noticeably faster.
I don't like that control style. So I don't use it at all on these new recordings. Everything is completely doable without it.
But if you do use it and also do what I do, you should be able to save a lot of seconds compared to my times.
Reason why I let cutscenes play little bit at the beginning of some missions is because a lot of things are active in the levels during cutscenes(enemies walk, elevators move etc.).
So letting cutscenes play to a certain point can have an advantage to you.
Reason why there's no "New Cheat Available!" text at the end of every level is because I have re-recorded that level. Usually because I wasn't happy with my own play.
