This is an Any% NG+ speedrun of the sixth Chapter of Skylanders: Giants for Wii (played on WiiU), "Secret Vault of Secrets", on Hard mode, with an in-game time of 9 minutes and 8 seconds, which is a new world record as of this recording. (EDIT 2019: Due to the introduction of IL timing subcategories for IGT and RTA, this run is no longer the IGT World Record run, but it is still the World Record run in terms of Real Time (RTA).)

Not much effort here, I just wanted to set the bar. It's one of my least favorite Chapters to speedrun so far because of these long autoscrolling sections. At least Autogyro Adventure has those speed boosts.

I used Zap at that gate-opening section for a pretty detailed reason. You see, when you tell Flameslinger to shoot an arrow, he automatically stores the angle to the nearest enemy in his general direction before he fires the arrow. Aiming towards enemies takes greater priority over aiming towards those gate eyes, so Flameslinger will fire at the enemies instead, which wastes time; this is all the same with his Flame Volley, which is difficult to set up during the first gate section and I luckily got in quick time in this run. Zap, on the other hand, does not automatically aim like Flameslinger does; he simply fires lightning bolts directly out in front of him. Combined with his speed, he made the cut for an alternative long-ranged speedy Skylander.
