Katamari Royal Reverie: Cowbear captured in

Heya! Of course, I copied somebody else's video again, this time it was FoominFan's speedrun of this stage. Their video is still better, with 1:58.
Videos that helped out with brainstorming the route for this run:
Tanjiruoisii's 2:35 in We Love Katamari Reroll+ Royal Reverie: • [RTA] みんな大好き塊魂アンコール ウシ...
FoominFan's 1:58 in We Love Katamari: • We Love Katamari - Cow...
Chomi39's 1:34 in Katamari Forever: • Katamari Forever - Cow...
I think that maybe its possible to get a time of 1:4X in this stage. In Chomi39 and Tanjiruoisii's videos, they capture the Cowbear earlier on in its cycle (Chomi39 did this without scaring away the Kintaro Bears, Tanjiruoisii scared off the Kintaro Bears earlier). Im my video, im around the right area at 1:44, but the Cowbear still isnt there yet. So if I was at 7m77cm7mm at that point, then perhaps its possible to get the Cowbear there instead of waiting in the river.
Other potential improvements:
- Optimizing the horse pickup at 0:31. Right now, how fast you do the first 30sec or so doesnt matter because the okapi or zebra there are on a timer. Also, if camels spawn instead, then thats a restart.
- The movement from 0:33 to 0:40 can be optimized with better boosts i think?
- Making the elephant at 0:50 less frustrating to deal with. Also, if you are big enough here, then you can get 2 small trees and then immediately be big enough for the rocks.
- Figuring out a way to reach 7777mm earlier to catch the Cowbear earlier on.
Thank you for watching! Hope you have a good day!

That was incredibly fast! You're so fearless in this stage. I agree that this could still be approved upon, but sub 2 is glorious. Was when FoominFan did it and still is.
