Estimated time (from when sackboy spawn in intro level to when final scoreboard is hit): 1:12:14
Quality looks good, no cheating detected. Which is good news, because I can tell a lot of work went into this and I'd hate to reject based on that.
A lot of the runner's mistakes and possible improvements were listed in the notes, but there are still some things I'd like to point out.
The Gardens
Fairly nice job at the beginning here. However, in the third level, I know the shoe death didn't directly waste any time, but it was close, which made me think that the runner might have been able to save a lot of time if they had gone just a bit faster at the beginning of the level and made it through.
The Savannah
That death on the spikey monster made me sad
Oh well. The rest of this region was good. The out of bounds route in the meerkat level was executed very quickly, that can be hard to get right.
The Wedding
This region was very good. I'm impressed with the skulldozer route. Running in a straight line?? GENIUS!
The Canyons
In the first level at the end, death abuse might have been a good idea, to a) make sure the bombs didn't miss the wall and b) get back to the spawning bombs quickly. Also the shortcut straight through the zig-zaggy part downward on the snake level was executed kind of sloppily, but enough time was saved for it to not make a big deal.
The Metropolis
There were some shortcuts that could have been used with well timed jumps on the cars, but physics are unpredictable in this game so perfect execution of these shortcuts was unlikely. The rest of this region was great.
The Islands
There's a really cool route that could have been used on this level that would have been really impressive if the runner had pulled it off, but that route is unrealistic in a single segment, and not dying was just as impressive. The second level was also as impressive, although there was a death, but those wheels are not easy to get through. Last level was good too.
The Temples
Awesome. The first level was great, and the second was better. I was extremely impressed with the second level in this, because the runner made some really great jumps. I wish I could say the same for the third, lots of mistakes in that one :/
The Wilderness
Mostly good, especially the first two. Deaths in the second to last level kind of sucked. However the boss fight went decently as well.
Overall, there were a lot of mistakes and missed moments to save time. But in a game like this, where some actions require even more precision than just being pixel perfect, time savers are extremely difficult to pull off, and mistakes are nearly impossible to avoid. The skips and tricky jumps the runner used definitely outweighed the screw ups, and they ended up with a very impressive single-segment run.
Decision: Accept. Great job

The run leaves an impression that it is well executed. It used clever routes and tricks to save time. It can probably be impoved by having less unintentional deaths. Though the untight controls and random physics will always introduce some possibility to die.
It was a fast single segment run and enjoyable to watch. I would definitely accept it.

pretty much a repeat of the other verifications. shame about the deaths but I can appreciate the difficulty in pulling off a clean run due to how easy it is to die.
is the runner thinking of doing a major skips run next?
decision: pass. this made my sackboy and littlebig penis happy
