100%

When escaping this room, ledge grabbing up the next room is ideal, but newer runners could get up quickly using a shinespark.

It's possible to save a small number of lag frames in this room by letting go of Dash once you're at top speed, but it's a small window between reaching top speed and the lag frames that come around the time you touch the first speed blocks. Letting go too early will result in less run speed.

Randomizer

You can charge a shinespark on the top level before activating it on the lower level. This will allow you to get this energy tank without Gravity Suit.

Note that this video charges without a short charge -- there is more than enough space for a simple one-tap or two-tap here, which will give more room to press down correctly before falling off the edge.

In addition to Randomizers, this can be useful for two-Norfair-visit routes of RBO.

Historically, this trick was first demonstrated in this video.
