Route Differences - 100% Route Choices First 4 Robots From PJ on why the first four robots are what they are stage order is chosen to eliminate revisits and minimize buster usage on bosses, even though it means a pretty awful burst stage Freeze-Burst-Cloud-Junk: standard Freeze-Cloud(+19)-Junk-Burst(-15): +4 (time loss on Cloud from buster fight, time gain in Burst from having jet and weapons) Cloud(+19)-Junk-Freeze(-19)-Burst(-15)-Junk(+36): +21 (time gained on Freeze from having weakness, but needs Junk revisit) Second 4 Robots Form PJ on why Shade 5th Shade Man revisit (to the respawn point and exiting, since that is all the additional content): 2684 frames (44 seconds) Minus the cost of death abuse and respawn: 91411 - 90650 = 761 (11 seconds) Total cost of revisit: +33 Shade Man fight (first pixel to teleport frame): Hyper fist: 93758 - 92147 = 1611 (26.8 seconds) Regular S.Adapter: 71314 - 69692 = 1622 (27.0 seconds) Turbo Man: Good truck with T.Bolt: 9.8 (from slide-shot to movement after truck death) Other trucks with T.Bolt: 11.5, 10.5, 14.5 Good truck with Noise Crush: 6.8 Difference: -3-8 seconds, based on pattern Turbo Man fights (from first pixel of health to end teleport): Buster (good): 74931 - 71773 =  3158 (52.6 seconds) S.Adapter (good): 74725 - 71773 = 2952 (49.2 seconds) Noise crush QK: 106034 - 104966 = 1068 (17.8 seconds) Difference: 32-35 seconds (probably 33 best case, since health refill is needed) Total Turbo Man difference: 36-41 seconds with good luck on boss.  Probably -48 vs really bad luck. OVERALL route difference: 33 seconds lost during revisit and Shade Man fight without Hyper Fist, 36-48 seconds saved with Turbo Man QK and truck fight.  In all, 3-15 seconds faster.
