Description: I think this is the fastest I'm likely to get it on this route - I'm very lucky in several respects in this run.

There is a faster route possible, but health would be very tight indeed: from the start, jump straight to the teleporter (the right-hand side of it - this isn't too easy in itself), and then the route is the same except for picking up a rad suit when returning to the big poison pit. This adds up to a lot of damage taken even if the monsters don't get hold of you - and the fact that you are running forwards when you enter the teleporter for the first time also makes it more a lot more likely you will take damage from the baron and friends. Still, that route might save as much as 7 seconds, and ought not to be a physical impossibility.

By the way, there is a BFG grab possible at the start (it's right behind the player 1 start, the other side of a thin wall). This should be useful for a Max or an NM run.
