WARNING. If you use emulator's overclock to increase FPS - the in-game timer will run faster, making the achievement really-really hard.

If you dash constantly in the first half, once you hit the box-lifting guys you can take the rest of the stage at a normal pace and still finish in time.

Personally I had to dash through the whole level to barely get this with 10 ms remaining. I was probably doing something wrong though, idk

Damn, dashing through the entire level and burned out of 30 lives to finally get a time of 1:18:20. That was tough

All the other relics felt perfectly fine besides this one in my opinion.

All my settings were on default, I had to change change cores to see if that helped and it did a little bit.

The issue I was having after the bear throws you off the cliff I would lag slightly causing my time to drop, I never had any lag issues before this level too it's only when the bear throws crash off the cliff.

The only way I was able to do it was dash all the way through the level as much as I could and slide-spin my way to the end. The actually bear section of the level was fine but for some reason I was having most trouble with that lag at the end.

Been at this for an hour and can't get under 1:20. Most of the time trials can be beaten first try without much issue. Why is this one so much more difficult? This isn't fun.

Now that was a pain in the balls lmao

I definitely wouldn't have been able to do it with just dashing half the level. I was dashing the whole level whenever possible and also using slide spins when I wasn't on the polar bear. After like 20-30 tries I finally got 1:18.50. It's really difficult time.

My god, this was painful.

portweinshow 3 Oct 2024 20:38

That was 2 hours of pain and frustrating. Just do every possible dash and remember every segment of level

proradii 15 Oct 2024 23:15

definitely hard, but if you follow the MustadioB video exactly its 100% doable

FamilyGuy0395 23 Oct 2024 04:45

Wow this achievement is so incredibly obnoxious for no reason, especially given almost none of the other time trials even come close to this level of difficulty…

Fastest movement seems to be sprint jumping with bear constantly, that's what the speedrun meta looks like.

tohjoh 24 Jan 2025 09:45

This is tight, but it's doable. Got a 1:18.10 straight after getting a 1:19:43.

It is just learning about when you can and can't boost. Definitely the hardest of all the time trial cheevos in this set.

1:18.26, If you want this achievement, PREPARE YOURSELF!!!
