What's the "Late CoBD" version of Treasure%? I had a quick look over the seek-bar, and the level order seems like the usual. Am I missing something?
Maybe it's for Early CoBD runs that the order is nonstandard?

Late game was okay but I lost a good chunk of time in Echoing Caves and Precipice. End game was as usual mediocre lost 20ish seconds in Tomb of the Ancients, about 10 in Iron Mountains, and 8 in Prison Ship however thanks to getting Final Boss Cutscene Skip 1st try I was able to save WR and sub 2:20. I'm so proud that my dedication and practice paid off to get this WR/Goal Time. I will always be grateful to everyone in the Rayman 2 community for supporting me to keep it up the good work with the game.

I have questions about the Canopy run:
- why the strafing to get on the pole with the sparadrap that has to be shot at?
- does the fact that the laser skip is very much near the end of the level make the run much harder?
- why not go straight for the spiral door at the end?

For your first question: This has no real reason. You can jump on the pole with or without strafing. It doesnt matter.
For your second question: It kinda depends how good you are at this trick. At first that trick can be really hard but with enough practice you can get really good at this trick and for me personally its not hard at all anymore. Not free but also not hard. So yeah for me it didnt make the run much harder.
And for your last question: If you open the cage, a teensie appears which does his little animation after he is free, he jumps on the spiral stone( or what ever this is called) and he would do his dance which all in all takes like 10s in order to get into the spiral door. But if you quickly exit this room and go back in, the spiral door will allready be there. This happens to my knowledge because the teensie and also the cage will deload once you exit the room. If you look close you will see no cage through the open door even though you should clearly see it. So the cage allways get load in once you enter the room. That means if you reenter the room the cage would get load back in but since you destroyed it, the game instead loads the spiral door. This takes about 5/6s which is definitly faster. So thats why we dont go straight for the spiral door at the end.

I had no idea about this, but it's probably not something you'd notice without looking for optimizations in the first place anyway. I guess I would just be scared of the door closing behind me.
