    Just go as fast as you can, i really don't know, maybe around 14 seconds (my best time)?

    Re: Going faster:
    Have you rigged all the portions of the game?

    You need to rig the log with Jello, rig the Heavy Lourde with the balloons, and re-order the hurdles to be Hurdle, Tutrle, Curdle-d Milk.

    Then it's just a question of running straight on the log, and getting the timing right for the pogo jump and the 3 hurdles. Practice makes perfect.

    Press the "forward" button/key as fast as possible when the game first starts, then when you get to the pogo and hurdle portions, just mash the "jump" button/key as fast as possible. Trust me; it works.

    There is no jump key on the PC version, it's a left mouse click.

    That's what I meant. I was trying to be non-system-specific.

    I think mine was just a bit over 15. I think it's okay as long as it's less than 16.

    Yeah, I had 15.35 and it was green. I've got it a bit lower now, but I haven't been able to break 15 seconds - I just can't seem to get an immediate response from the mouse at the start of the race.

    Possible tip:
    In my experience on the PC, to get moving right away on the log, you need to move the mouse all the way to the top of the screen (i.e. all the way forward).

    After you push the button on the camera, your mouse pointer dot will disappear until the race starts. But that doesn't mean it's gone--it's just hidden. Move your mouse to the top of the screen during the cutscene, and you should be ready to go when the race starts.

    I did it once on the PC version, and now I can't do it again!
    I've rigged the race, but I'm having trouble on the first part.
    The pointer always starts at the top left of the screen, when I need it to go to the bottom middle (that's what always seems to make Strong Bad go faster).
    The second it takes to move the pointer to to the bottom of the screen slows me down too much.

    Please help!

    You really just gotta not touch anything as soon as it starts,and you'll go strait as an arrow across the log.
