Fun game for some ILs.
This level kinda sucks to run. It is pretty hard to get the right speed out of the cave and to not lose all of it upon landing later on the slide (feels pretty random). I managed to figure something out that works a decent amount of the time.
This could go sub 40. I could save one second by getting bumped perfectly by a motobug right before the first right-hand bend on the last slide to push me across the gap (skipping going around the bend). There is also an additional 1.0-1.5s to save by getting the super speed (even beyond normal drill speed) exit out of the cave (it also has to be aimed low or you will run into a ceiling that stops you). I haven't found a way to get that at all really, it just kinda happens sometimes.
I noticed something weird about boosters, sliding, and your speed from the charged drill attack. It feels kind of like the drill and boosters add to your current speed (to an extent) rather than setting your speed to a specific value. I believe something like that happens in 06 but, this feels a lot different from what I remember from 06. For example, if you drill attack and slide the frame or so before you enter a booster you will be moving a lot faster (like 1.5x, maybe more) than if you entered it otherwise. I tend to exit the cave with a lot more speed when I don't do the jump over the boosters like in the video. I feel like you don't even have to slide near frame perfectly to get the extra speed after chaining drill attacks into slides (but doing so seems to give even more speed). It's weird and feels inconsistent.
