Haunted Hall

Difficulty:

Any%

Notes

Jump up all upwards slopes, no matter the size.
Jumping down small slopes will lose you time. Aim to jump down large slopes only.
Jumping on flat ground loses time, with some exceptions.
Jumping into the transition doors also saves minimal frames. Aim as high as you can.
- These may not feel like much, but an optimal Haunted Hall route can save up to 4-5 seconds compared to a casual route.
Jumping over the bees at 1:14 can be tricky. You have to get really close to their hitboxes (note that there is only one bee in the J version).

Notes

Precisely follow where the video jumps and the size of these jumps. Failing to do so will cause you to lose time instead of save.
- Nearly every jump has a visual cue at a railroad tie or wooden post (or shortly after one, in a few cases).
- See the Optimal Alternative Map bellow for precise visual cues and jump heights.
This route is difficult to learn/memorize, but saves ~0.5 compared to Djeez's optimal route above.

Map of Optimal Alternative

Imgur Album.
Jump when the teeth of your cart touch the line.
Note that all consecutive jumps are buffered.
White = A small jump is more optimal, but you should probably do a slightly larger jump for safety.
Green = Smallest possible jump.
Orange = Medium jump. It's on the larger side of medium, though (hard to explain).
Red = Largest possible jump.

For the jump down the 1st large slope, prioritize doing the earliest possible jump rather than grabbing the 1st [+] barrel. Grabbing the 2nd [+] barrel only loses half a frame's worth of distance.
