Donkey Kong 64 - Any% (Helm Escape Route) Demo

Quick thing I mocked up on BizHawk with savestates. Goes through the first 8m of the route up until it merges with the regular 2014 route. This is not a new fastest route as the 2015 route is about a minute faster than this.

The purpose this route serves is that this is a faster route compared to 2014 (by about 50-60 seconds) which doesn't do Helm under ISG. The major tricks you need to learn are:
Phasewalks (To get out of Helm and into Factory as this route doesn't do orange barrel)
TBS with simian slam unlocked (if you do uncrouch TBS)
Telegrab Helm Early with Warp 4

Outside of being faster, this route also uses a 100% consistent telegrab. The downside is that this route does Helm a few minutes later into the run, which means that the trick gauntlet of Helm Early & Switch Kick is a little later in the run.

This also introduces the runner to some 2015 tricks as they'll need to do Double Reset, Diddy TV and also Tiny phase without the gun unlocked
