Quite a few mistakes, but still a good run. I've calculated that a Potential (realistic) time save of about 17.9 seconds is possible through flawlessness, but for now, I'm done with the game till someone beats it!
Here is the possible time saves if anyone wants to attempt to beat this run:
Lv 1 - 0.7 s (Slightly non-perfect descent; a 28 is very doable)
Lv 2 - /
Lv 3 - 0.2 s (Clipped slightly going past the first octopus, didn't punch the three block smoothly)
Lv 4 - /
Lv 5 - 0.1 s (Bumped the helicopter into the red block slightly late)
Lv 6 - 0.8 s (Lost nearly two seconds from the messed up jump, but then made back a second by killing the boss faster than I've ever killed it before!)
Lv 7 - 1.3 s (Slight misfire midway through the Lv nearly cost me, but I managed to recover well)
Lv 8 - / (Note that sometimes I will not buy the Cane on this Lv, which is why I lose 2.5 seconds against my previous PB)
Lv 9 - /
Lv 10 - 6.3 s (TBH, I thought the run-killer had killed my run; I was very close to resetting. The rest of the Lv was almost optimal)
Lv 11 - 0.3 s (Slightly non-optimal descent after the three Flames)
Lv 12 - / (Pulled off my new Fast-Route for the boss)
Lv 13 - 0.8 s (I get through all the bits that normally kill me, then I mess up the final manoeuvre to destroy the Heli. D'oh!)
Lv 14 - /
Lv 15 - / (I seem to be landing that 5th jump 100% of the time now. Also, this is where I make back that 2.5 seconds from not buying the Cane)
Lv 16 - 7.2 s (A few non-perfect jumps early on; One fall during the 'U-Turn of failed runs' (which is acceptable); Aced the run-killing jump (you know which jump I mean); Messed up the double punch on the shower fall (which nearly killed me); Lost the most amount of time missing the earliest frog-jump cycle; Aced the Flower-Prong section in the water; Didn't quite get the optimal route during the 'Shark's Tooth' section; The rest of the Lv could have been done a bit quicker)
Lv 17 - 0.2 s (I think I lost time by not jumping onto the first block After spawning in the Crown, I'm not sure...)
Total time save possible - 17.9 seconds
Note that this is not a comparison against my sum of best, this is just my estimated realistic time saves that I think is possible based on the errors I made.
Also, note that I cannot accurately say what the best Lv 16 time should be; I haven't been able to perfect the level on a timed run to see what potential time save I'm looking at. I did manage to almost perfect the lv once, dying only during the 'Shark's Tooth' section underwater, costing me about 6.5 seconds (and that run was 0.5 seconds faster than the run posted above, so my best guess is that a seven second time save is possible if you do everything *perfectly*).
Overall, I think that the best time achievable would be around the 13:07 mark, but a sub 13:10 should definitely be possible.
