Walkthrough

Target Time - 0:23

This time was formerly believed to be impossible with the control style 1.1, and was thought to only be possible with the control style 1.2. This was later disproven. If you are using 1.1, you must use Cruise Control.

Cut the cinemas and go right into left strafe picking up the grenades. Look down about 45 degrees, take out the grenades, and turn right down the slide still in right strafe. When you get halfway down the ramp, throw a grenade in the general direction of the door in hope of a boost later.

Sill in left strafe, you want to open to door and go in. You have to sort of flick the stick left for a split second while opening the door in order to get it open. Once in, run straight to the key, and then switch to right strafe to get out of there. Passing through the door, switch back to left strafe, which you will stay in until the end of the run. Hopefully the grenade you threw earlier will explode giving you a nice boost.

Now, you want to boost yourself with the grenades as you're running down the runway. The easiest and most consistent way to do this is to look straight down at the ground, prime the grenade for about 4 seconds, and then let go. With practice, you should be able to get two of these done well, and that's all you have time for.

Now look up. There's no way to explain it, but only to practice where you start priming the grenade. Basically, you should see battery to the right, and you want to take that out. So hold the grenade, and let go after about 3 seconds or so. Now just start tapping B and praying to God that you'll get a few more boosts and that thrown grenade will take out the battery. If all goes well, you should complete at least a 24. To get 23, you will need at least 1 or 2 more boosts from guards/drones in addition to those 3 self boosts you got earlier.

0:23 was one of the most common of Goldeneye's World Records, before Control Style 2.2 made 0:22 possible. So for a lot of experienced gamers, 0:23 is not out of the question.
