It is intended for those who want to achieve sub 40 minutes.*At 0:33 you need to jump early from the middle of the bone pillar to the next platform, your iframes are much shorter from the blood/goo.*At 0:47 is important to note that you will spawn an extra bone dragon if you whip any candles or kill the eyeball after the crushers. *At 1:11 if your health is good you may not need to grab the wall meat, it is optional.*At 1:14 for reference you can see the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szjsd3R1Dfk time comparison] between this and the more optimal way to do this room (safe method loses ~18f).

'''Important Stage Notes'''* It is important to note that the stage will start with the first crusher in different positions. '''Top route''' will be determined if the crusher is at the bottom and allows you to jump immediately on to it. And '''bottom route''' will be determined if you have to wait for the crusher to jump on.* '''Vegas Bridge''' refers to the bridge at the end of the stage, its patterns are random and most top runs will 'gamble' by take a boost off the broke stairs which if done correctly is roughly 50/50 in survival rates. Hence why it is called Vegas bridge. === Bottom Route ===

If A death there will cost you don't 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 whipping it to not lose any time other than the time gained by the boostsub 32 run.</div>

You have a view pixel to make it but try to make a good cue. * Jump and whip down (or 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 crusher.* 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.  <div class=== 8"mw-collapsible-2 Falling Room Strategies ===content">{{#ev:youtube|szjsd3R1Dfkoxic8EwvLSs|560||}} '''Notes:'''</div>* Comparison of the 2 most utilized strategies in clearing the 8-2 Stair Fall.</div>

* Press B then Y very quickly at the same time while holding right + down.* It saves around 25-30 frames (~.4 to ~.5 sec), for the cost of 2 hpHP.* It can also be used to get past the crushers early without doing the stair jump (it is about as fast but costs hpHP).
