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 1
I make only two mistakes in this segment, one of which is very minor. The first is in the Study: I accidentally get a Poison Mushroom, losing 7 seconds. The minor mistake occurs during the battle with Chauncey: I fail to make both rocking horses attack earlier on one of the three rounds of the battle, because I get hit by the first of that pair; this loses me perhaps 2 seconds.
Other than these mistakes, the only way I see to improve this segment is to become better in sucking up the ghosts, always pulling back in the exact opposite direction.
Yeah, I've done that before a few times. But if it's at the end of a 13(?)-minutes segment, it's a bit annoying to retry enough to get it. This is certainly faster than having Chauncey in his own segment at any rate, which is what the run at SDA does...

although this run is about 4 minutes shorter than the sda run, i have seen people take out chauncey on the normal mansion in 2 shots, but i guess thats sort of luck >.>

...Yeah, this part of this segment is nothing to get excited about.
