Crash Tag Team Racing Speed run- Segment 3

Before I talk about this segment, I would like to call myself a moron for not factoring in the importance of farming... When I was planning the speed run, my plan only went up to Tomb Town where I needed to figure out how to get coins and balance activities with collecting... Turns out that by farming twice, I could actually have my end game ready... anyway, to the run...

Fastest lap: Because fastest lap is my least favorite event, I decided to move it into segment 3 so that in case if I screwed up, I wouldn't have to go far in order to restart... Still, they went through smoothly...

After I leave Mystery Island, I spoke with N. Gin to give him his Plutonium and unlock him as a playable character...

Happily ever faster: Sometime during the run, it hit me: Slushies give Crash not only a double coin special, but also a speed boost... I grabbed the slushie and went up to get chased by a giant pumpkin and activate the 2nd secret shortcut... From there, I went around buying the power crystals and activating the other tracks and get one crystal that is off to the left... From there, I went past evilocity and up to the gold pot to get more coins and finish farming... Afterwards, I went into Evilocity to get all the tracks out of the way...

Crashinator: Again, simple and straightforward... For Once upon a track, I was able to find out you can build a boost, so once I got it, I skipped a few of the plants to finish faster... That and also evilocity is tricky since the windmills come one after another so fast that you have to be extra careful...

Race: These sets of races went well... I don't have many complaints since it was a mixed variety of blowing things up, and getting blown up and very weird things that happened during the races (like getting blown up as I enter a warp, and the game sends me to the other side... Might have glitched without knowing about it)... Also during Track and the beanstalk, I hold off on clashing since the shortcut is harder to use when you are clashed...

and finally before I finished the segment, I did my favorite activity in this whole game...

ROLLING THUNDER!!!

with N. Gin and his wonderful rocket launcher, I was able to get Gold without trying... In fact I saw Rolling Thunder as a means to get my frustrations out in the funnest way possible...

After I finished six rounds of rolling thunder, I went to get the 2nd power gem and ended the segment right as I got it...

In the final segment (which will be short) I will collect the other two power crystals in this area and buy and find the rest of the crystals in the other area to finish the game...

It's funny since I had completed one earlier, but because I forgot that one crystal, I had to restart the whole segment, and yet this one came out much better...
