Touval's video: Spyro 2: Ripto s Rage any speedrun in 10:37

Pretty pleased with this run. It's not the greatest time (sub 10 is both possible and inevitable), but it is the current world record and the first run under 11 minutes. I recommend watching all of it, but if you don't have the time or whatever, then at least watch the run from 9 minutes onward, as there's a pretty insane skip (found by ESGPuppetmaster, who also did a lot of work towards the setup, so shoutouts to him) that lets you enter the final boss without needing swim. This saves a lot of time as you obviously don't have to go out of your way to collect gems and there's no need to backtrack to Moneybags to buy swim. The only downside is that it's one of the most precise and hardest tricks to pull off in Spyro games in general.
