Haunted Hall

Difficulty: Tupac Shakur/10

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 5-6 seconds over 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).
You do not need to hold Right or Y in this stage.

Notes

Precisely follow where the video jumps and the size of these jumps. Failing to do so will cause you to not save nearly as much time as you could.
- 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 ~.6s over Djeez' route.
Bizhawk practice scripts: J U (uses the most updated route). See the section below for more info.

Map of Optimal Alternative

Imgur Album.
You should be jumping when the teeth of your cart touch the start of a line. Keep in mind that it takes a few frames for your cart to jump after pressing B. The lines in these images are precise to the pixel.
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.
Don't perform the crossed-out jump.
