Luigi's Mansion speedrun - segment 1, part 1

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.

...Nice comment.

jst a tip, but u should also twirl around the C-stick while sucking up ghosts.  it makes their number go down faster & helps prevent them from flying around in circles (which can make u lose grip over the ghost). this also works against portrait ghosts & bosses (especially against bogmire, since he pulls REALLY hard).

[Greenpickle512]

Well, what I've found to work best is moving the C-stick towards and away from where the ghost is in relation to Luigi, this being easiest in a corner, since then there's less of an angle it could change by.

And the damage (only happened once here...) was accidental; that annoying 10HP ghost just decided to...attack from behind.

Me too. I wish I dah the "PAL" version though, cuz The Hidden Mansion is much more challenging.
