I have noticed the server delay, both to my detriment and also benefit at times. Sometimes I avoid getting by stuff when I thought I should have. Other times I will get get by something I thought I was out of the range of and there stunned by.

For example, while not good or bad, when it came to delivering crystals in the 2nd stage for the yellow area, even if I thought like I was out of the aoe effect, I still get hit with the knockback at times even after a successful delivery.

An instance that was more bad, on the final stage, I would occassionally get by what I want to call "phantom hammers" when on the last stretch before the stairs to reach the goal line.

Meanwhile to my benefit I have noticed, that I could freely move after getting moved and stunned by one of the various spinning dials found in the first and third stage, and even use the temporary invincibility it provides you with to trudge through another hazard without getting hit by that. Kind of like damage boosting that could be found in speedruns. As usually the stun wears off fairly quick when forcibly moved somewhere.

I found it a very fun experience otherwise and already got most of the stuff I wanted that is unique to the event except for a couple clothing pieces.
