Luigi's Mansion speedrun - segment 9

This is one segment of a Luigi's Mansion speedrun done in 13 segments with save-warping, using the PAL version on a Wii. I started it a long time ago but never got round to completing; I uploaded it now as I realised I'll probably never finish.

This is my third attempt at this speedrun; the first came out at around 1:41 (that was a test run), the second at about 1:31:30, and I aim to reach 1:30 or lower with this, after having split two of the longer segments and improved the route a little (oh, and of course, there are fewer mistakes). I'm quite confident that this is the best possible route to take. I focus mainly on mistakes in the segment comments, so I hope I don't sound too pessimistic...

Segment 9
Because this is such an easy segment, there are no mistakes apart from needing two tries to capture the Boo at the end, which is another vast improvement on the route from before. When I started attempts at this, I foolishly thought I had to do it in one try because I hadn't the key for the door; the many many attempts it took me to realise the truth allowed me to perfect the rest of the segment.

Firstly, to avoid ghosts, I switch to the Sidestep control mode on the Balcony (resulting in a weird glitch that cuts out the sound of the door unlocking). The strange movements in the corridoor after that are to make the ghost not appear there. Uncle Grimmly co-operates. When I leave the Foyer after warping there next, I point the torch at the ceiling, forcing a ghost there to stay hidden. All of this saves time.
