Ok, this is a reasonably complex stage to complete! The quickest path through the stage is not completable, so instead a big detour is required, which starts with a very long wall climb (or I should say, wall jumps).
Shortly after that is a long wait for the moving platform, jumping off the wall to land on it will face you left, when you need to face right, so after having it push you to land on the ground, you actually need to land right on the edge of the platform to change direction. This is a little bit tricky.
After that comes some slow bumpers, both sets of these are painful because you have slight momentum so you don't hit the same one over and over. This is actually the *fast* method, a lot o setups are even slower than this. Also of note that if you just fall off the flipper you will get stuck, which is why I immediately use the flipper. Some angles off that also get you stuck, as you have no control on the pinball tables.
The rest of the stage isn't too tricky, quick turn around and glide through the bumpers, and falling through the flippers at the end isn't required, it's just fast. Boss is pretty easy as you've got walls the alternate gliding between, but you do lose a little height, so a small superglide to make it back up is required at some point.
First stage that's been over a minute, we press on!

Decent improvement here, good timing for a PB. Dubs is really fun!
Of course, you cant *actually* get the Gold Symbol in Doubles, but the category exists for it as if you can at the same spot, because otherwise you wouldnt have a category so why not.

![Pokemon Stadium - Gym Leader Castle R1, Transfers only from New Game (Red) in 2:46:02 [WR]
Moving onto Gym Leader Castle in the new Transfers only arc. This is by far the easiest of the GLC categories - as evidence, I got deathless first try here!
The Red segment of this run wasnt great, and I have a feeling that given the time I got for the GLC segment, going solo Mewtwo might end up faster. So I might try that out in future, but for now, heres a start.
