    Huge thanks to many of the speedrunners in this video for helping me fact check things + making this video possible! (Their channels are in the description)
    EDIT: apparently there is a weird long *beep* noise at 3:23. I can't remove it now since the video is uploaded, but I literally had to rewatch that section 20 times to hear it. Either I'm losing my hearing or my headphones are broken lol
