Yes, I would assume so unless the champions tried this a lot before they found the other method.
Have you registered? You only submitted times for the first five levels, and they are very good.
That's hilarious. I kept beating my score and re-submitting with the same comment. Since I'm still a rookie to this website, I had no idea anyone had responded to my message. I think I'm done with this course unless someone comes along and beats 26:50. I did the shortcut too but I like this route better. And yes I will soon submit some scores for the other courses when I register and buy the game. I just downloaded the trial version about 2 weeks ago. Anyway thanks.
If you can do that in two weeks you will definitely be among the Time Trial champions. It is somewhat hard to join in late on the competition, but you should make it soon enough.
I started in June 2005.
