What the actual heck?!? This has got the insanest speedrun in Crash 4 I've seen yet :O!!! If the impeccable timings, combined with the Akano mask speed boost, weren't already impressive enough, you went ahead and pulled off that mindblowing stage hack at 1:09. My mind = rip.
Sub 22 is maybe possible on a perfect run. The new strat also appears to make the dragons have a much friendlier cycle, so that removes one of the more challenging parts of the run. Gonna do some testing later to see if I can find anything else, but a 21 might just end up being the limit!
