Gordon strat 

Especially if you're starting over at lvl 1.

@@dimlightbulb10 yeah the skateboards come in handy when fighting Adam the clown at a lower level especially as they allow you to quickly evade his attacks and get some distance between him.

I always buff it out with books so I can do the skateboard trick around the mall

I refuse to breath whitout the board of skating

Me when I play DR1, 2 and OTR:

In the speedrun we leave Pamela and Heather by the door to Entrance Plaza but Gordon is in that little box so he can't pathfind to the marker which means we can't get him out and have to call Pamela and Heather through all of Al Fresca which is almost a guaranteed dead run so we do this to get him out of the box

It's an extra mode. At 1st you play all serious, then on 2nd you play goofy.
