This is currently the best route I've come up with for getting to the goal treasure chest of the third map of the Great Pyramid in as little time as possible. A route like this is only really useful in a full game speedrun.

Of all the levels in Tobe's Vertical Adventure, this one is probably the most important to get the timing right on. When playing as Tobe, you have to avoid popping your balloon too early or you'll take damage from the fall and mess with the map's timing. With Nana, you have less leeway because she can't run as fast, and just getting to the first crusher always ends up close.

Once you get to the ground, you have to pull off a number of tricks, beginning with rolling over a set of spikes, then using a crusher to push you through the floor, and finally using a Floor Door to slip through another row of blocks. You can use a Slick Pick instead of a Floor Door, but--while easier--this is much slower than the latter and uses up most of your balloons.

Before grabbing the goal treasure with Nana, I recommend you throw a rope on the ledge directly above and use it as your escape route.
