inb4 0:59 SS
nice idea but that sounds quite hard.

For anybody interested, here's a more accurate time comparison between miles' and sparky's runs (miles being on the left):
01: 4:46.167 4:53.700 (combined sparky’s segment 1 and 2)
02: 5:13.967 5:14.333 (combined miles’ segment 2 and 3)
04: 3:36.700 3:44.433
05: 3:50.550 3:56.967
06: 7:35.183 7:40.400
07: 4:19.433 4:20.300 (miles does far phendrana in a different order to get a pb refill)
08: 7:13.600 5:36.800 (miles kills thardus + kills drones afterward)
09: 0:49.717 0:51.033
10: 4:47.650 4:56.366
11: 9:58.633 12:10.134 (combined both their lower mines -> reflecting pool segments)
13: 0:46.667 0:47.267
14: 1:32.133 1:35.800
15: ~6:07.050 6:11.467
This isn't 100% accurate though because sparky's times weren't taken from the in-game timer.

You used your last power bomb to get a power bomb expansion, and them immediately use that expansion in the next room to get Ice Spreader.
You only ever used 2 in quick succession, before getting the "main expansion". Was it really necessary to grab the third expansion to kill the invisi-drone?

wow, amazing. it's awesome that 0:59 finally seems within reach after such a long time working towards it. have you calculated your final time precisely? would getting 0:59 "simply" be a matter of removing the mistakes from this run and getting a bit luckier with random stuff (idrone itself can be at least 7 seconds better)?
getting there...
What an unorthodox route... You really turned Prime on it's head didn't you? I'd be interested to hear how long it took you to come up with the new route, including having to time things and what not. Off the top of my head I also have a couple questions.
How did you damage OP on that last pool? I thought you had to have the x-ray visor up to damage him.
Also, how in the world did you make that dash from the ship to the door on your way to Ridley? I swear I've tried that for hours and never even gotten close. Am I missing something?
I know it's been said, but amazing run. I am particularly impressed with how well you held things together in some of those long segments. This route seems to be full of them. I think I'm going to have to learn this route, because I like how it's relatively light on SW's.
Sparky, the ball is in your court...

I am pretty sure he boosted away and then did put the x-ray visor on..? The damage from the power bomb will happen once x-ray is on, regardless if you are looking at him, as long as the collision is happening.
