The Grinch (PC) '100%' speedrun in 1:39:08 [Former WR]

The comparison I was using during this run was "Goal Pace" - an artificial set of splits that would give me a 1:39 if I kept on pace with them. I crushed it. This is 3m35s saved over last year's 1:42:43 WR. Sub 1:40 has been a goal of mine for a long time, and I actually found a lot of improvements over my previous run.

The most major reroutes were Who Lake 3 and Who Forest 3. In the first visit to the Mayor's Villa in Who Lake, I talked to the pirate to activate the scarf mission. This removes an unnecessary backtrack to the cave in the final visit to the level. In the Civic Center in Who Forest, I finally found a way to collect the Grinch Copter plan on the ledge without shimmying across the ledge for 30 seconds. This will also save time in All Gadgets and will probably utilize a S+Q. Other minor reworks add up to 30 seconds across the run.

The most major improvements to be made to this record are skipping the hearts as they are not required to unlock the motorcycle minigame or to have 100% in the mission book or file select. I also had a sloppy Who Lake 2 and Rats, but they could've been much worse. 1:37 is reasonable with the current route, but that is not a goal of mine yet.

I thought you were playing a non English version for a bit, then I realized it’s just god awful font that’s hard to read. Congrats on the Xmas WR!

How do you play it with the controller? Also can’t figure out how to use the jet spring for pc or how to open the book so that you can save the game

I felt like I was watching for over an hour and it had only been 33 minutes.
