There are plenty of time-saving jumps in this map. But with fastwalk, there might be only one that saves any time at all.

That's not a reason to keep using it. It never should have been used in the first place. Time-saving jumps are one of the big sources of fun for me in BRs, and having fastwalk just ruins it.

I just did it and I don't mind the fast walk Deadcode. You have to compare the fun of time-saving jumps with the agony of slow walking through a long walking portion. I guess with the right map you wouldn't really have long walking portions, but this map had a few, so I was glad to have the fast walk.

I don't think that is correct. I helped GARG0YLE palettize the map on 2005-04-27, but that version had the banana in the upper right placed badly, preventing the map from being completable. The final version has the banana moved a bit to fix this, but I only downloaded it on 2012-12-31, and have only placed it once, on 2013-10-31 with 4 other people (including Walrus). He and I tied for first place. (I also played it with ShyGuy on 2020-09-16, but he surrendered at the part with dark grey pixels that can be barely seen.)

Good for you, but I refuse to lend any legitimacy to this, abusing battle race maps by playing them with fast walk. Especially old school ones like this, which were very much designed to be played without fast walk.
And to be clear, I am all for using maps in ways they weren't intended/designed for, if it's good or interesting. But adding fastwalk to battlerace is neither of those things.

Could have been a different battlerace map then? I just remember attaching replay files for this BR contest, maybe it was bloopy that hosted it, was some BR enthusiast, thought it was you but i guess not.
