+=== Goal Race Time ===
+You should aim to get a race time between 14"5 and 14"9 in order to fully take advantage of the Koopa speed manipulation described in the gif above. Note: these goal times are applicable only if you talk to Koopa between misc. timer times 6.1x and 6.3x from the pipe. This is the average time range for this section assuming that you do the normal triple jump dive -> longjump movement out of the pipe.
