== 4-4 Zip (Richter) ==

'''Preface''': Richter zip (found by runner RichterShade) is a faster way to do the zip compared to the original method. You can save ~4s compared to the original zip method. There is a safe way to perform the Richter zip (which saves ~2s) and the more optimal way (~4s).

Note:
You need to take these dmg routes depending on if you go under or over the first crushers to make it to the eyeball boost in time. Also to have sufficient health for all the boosts on 8-2. On Top route, theres also room for a bat boost on the falling brick bridge just before 8-2 if you want to optimize it even more. NOTE that bottom route is planned for you to take the stair jump on 8-2 if you're doing all the boosts on 8-2. If you dont want to go for stair jump you could either take the wall meat on 8-1(the one you go for in top route) or you could skip the wall skeleton boost on 8-2 by cross whiping it to not loose any time other than the time gained by the boost.

=== 8-1 Eyeball Boost over Crusher ===

[[File:EyeballBoostOverCrusher.PNG]]

1. Make sure you start the jump at this spot. You have a view pixel to make it but try to make a good cue.

2. Jump and whip down (limp whip). The whip and jump are almost together. You try to stun the eyeball in front of you so you have enough frames to get through the second crasher.

3. You almost walk of the edge before the crusher. Jump late. If you jump early you will jump into the hitbox of the crusher again.

=== 8-2 Stair boost ===
{{#ev:youtube|oo0mPjOQifI|560||}}
Press B then Y very quickly while holding right+down.

It saves around 25-30 frames, for the cost of 2 hp.

It can also be used to get past the crushers early without doing the stair jump. (it is about as fast but costs hp)

=== 8-1 Eyeball Boost over Crusher ===

[[File:EyeballBoostOverCrusher.PNG]]

1. Make sure you start the jump at this spot. You have a view pixel to make it but try to make a good cue.

2. Jump and whip down (limp whip). The whip and jump are almost together. You try to stun the eyeball in front of you so you have enough frames to get through the second crasher.

3. You almost walk of the edge before the crusher. Jump late. If you jump early you will jump into the hitbox of the crusher again.

=== 8-2 Stair boost ===
{{#ev:youtube|oo0mPjOQifI|560||}}
Press B then Y very quickly while holding right+down.

It saves around 25-30 frames, for the cost of 2 hp.

It can also be used to get past the crushers early without doing the stair jump, in case you are not comfortable with the stair jump. (it is about as fast but costs hp)

Note:
You need to take these dmg routes depending on if you go under or over the first crushers to make it to the eyeball boost in time. Also to have sufficient health for all the boosts on 8-2. On Top route, theres also room for a bat boost on the falling brick bridge just before 8-2 if you want to optimize it even more. NOTE that bottom route is planned for you to take the stair jump on 8-2 if you're doing all the boosts on 8-2. If you dont want to go for stair jump you could either take the wall meat on 8-1(the one you go for in top route) or you could skip the wall skeleton boost on 8-2 by cross whiping it to not loose any time other than the time gained by the boost.
