Begin with both cinemas cut RIGHT AWAY so you can pick up the grenades easily in a left strafe. Also lookdown more than 45 degrees if you can. Make the next turn in a left strafe WITHOUT changing strafe. This is because it's a tenth or so faster than changing strafe, no joke. Half way down the chute begin to hold the grenade and release it looking ALL THE WAY DOWN once you have established a good line to the door. It should land near the door. Go back to the 45 degree lookdown, and open the door by briefly turning more to the left and proceed inside still in left strafe. Get the key, and change to a right strafe. This can sometimes not pick up if you looked too far down. Head out the door in right strafe, getting a boost from the nade you put there before the next turn ahead.
+
== Strategies ==
  
−
Line yourself up for the plane and look straight up still in right strafe. Hold a grenade for .5 to 1 second and release it straight up in the air. Don't hold C-down (1.1) or down on the stick (1.2) when making the throw. Immediately hold the next grenade until the first grenade is at its peak before falling back towards you and release. Throw a 3rd grenade about 88 degrees in the air (a little in front of you) about .5 to 1 second after the last, just like you did for the 1st grenade. You should get 2 or even 3 boosts while using a 45 degree lookdown. Sometimes grenades don't come out the way you want to and can even give you backboosts, side boosts, or no boosts at all. Also, some boosts are better quality than others. On my 22 I even got a guard boost before the 3rd grenade boost, making 4 for the stretch! That guard boost is most likely needed for 22, or a drone boost later near the plane. Repeat the process for the next 2 grenades, ignoring the one you'd throw 88 degrees. I got a drone boost instead of the 2nd grenade boost here.

Hopefully you have accumulated 5-7 boosts during the run to this point. Just start tapping B when you get near the plane and watch your 23 appear or just maybe the WR if you were a LUCKY sob!

The thinking is that these guards spend a significant part of the run aiming at Bond down the entire length of the runway, and the end of the run is already more [[Lag|laggy]] due to explosions and other runway guards. It has always been done on SA out of necessity - these guards regularly blow up the plane - but on agent it was assumed that the extra grenade explosion would just make more lag, and so cost time if anything.

Holding the grenade and dropping it on the ground is a common beginner strategy used to self boost.

=== Grenade juggle ===
  
−
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.

This involves looking upwards and throwing a grenade in the air. The grenade should travel roughly along your current path and then fall back to the ground and explode enough behind you to give you a boost.
  
−
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.

5 of the 6 guards along the runway are treated as [[Guards#Spawn Guard|spawn guards]]. The one closest to the plane is a normal guard. These respawn every 2s. Spawn guards are spawned in different places, depending on where you are (just like on Streets and Depot). Spawn guards have an 80 / 256 (31.25%) chance to spawn with 1x Klobb with 40 health, an 80 / 256 (31.25%) chance to spawn with 1x KF7 with 40 health and 10 armor, and a 96 / 256 (37.5%) chance to spawn with 2x Klobb with 40 health and 20 armor. <ref name="function explorer misc facts">{{cite web | url=https://forums.the-elite.net/index.php?topic=18518.msg455830#msg455830|title=the-elite Goldeneye facts topic post on miscellaneous function explorer facts|author=Icy|access-date=July 16, 2021}}</ref>

Strategies

Hut grenade

The "last piece of the puzzle" found by Berg during his strategising for the agent untied, and measured as saving a surprising 0.10-0.15s on console. Also called "eliminating the hut guards", it just involves tossing a grenade very imprecisely in the hut somewhere to kill both of the guards there. This is incredibly free and should be used by all players. [1]

The thinking is that these guards spend a significant part of the run aiming at Bond down the entire length of the runway, and the end of the run is already more laggy due to explosions and other runway guards. It has always been done on SA out of necessity - these guards regularly blow up the plane - but on agent it was assumed that the extra grenade explosion would just make more lag, and so cost time if anything.

Ground grenade

Holding the grenade and dropping it on the ground is a common beginner strategy used to self boost.

Grenade juggle

This involves looking upwards and throwing a grenade in the air. The grenade should travel roughly along your current path and then fall back to the ground and explode enough behind you to give you a boost.

Leaned throw

The it is possible to eliminate the missile battery and heavy gun emplacements with a grenade using a leaned throw. This was used to set the 00 Agent world record of 0:28, a 4 second untied at the time when set.

Technical Details

Guard

5 of the 6 guards along the runway are treated as spawn guards. The one closest to the plane is a normal guard. These respawn every 2s. Spawn guards are spawned in different places, depending on where you are (just like on Streets and Depot). Spawn guards have an 80 / 256 (31.25%) chance to spawn with 1x Klobb with 40 health, an 80 / 256 (31.25%) chance to spawn with 1x KF7 with 40 health and 10 armor, and a 96 / 256 (37.5%) chance to spawn with 2x Klobb with 40 health and 20 armor. [2]

There are 2 patrolling guards.[3]

Tutorials

General tips
  • NTSC is favored over PAL for Agent and Secret Agent 0:22[5]. And on 00A the same general preference exists, but also the R-Leaned grenades don't go as far on PAL, so the longer lines would lead to direct time loss.
  • When using 2.x, let the first cinema play but cut the second cinema immediately. Bond moves forward at the start of it; cutting means you will have to turn less to get the nades and save some time[6].
  • Whether or not you get full strength grenade boosts is mostly out of your control.[7]
  • The hut nade should be close to the doorframe for a more direct boost, rather than a semi side-boost. Try to bounce it off the wall.
  • Try to get the maximum of the first hut boost because it's the easiest to get the timing right and should be somewhat consistent. Using the full boost momentum is important there, you should turn while getting boosted and end up in the best line possible to the plane[8]
  • Aim left of the key, to be in right strafe by the time you actually pick it up, making for a better line leaving (and no grinding on the table)[9].
  • Don't turn towards the plane. The plane's hitbox is a big circle, and once you're inside that circle you can press B to end the level. Turning to face the plane does nothing but make it take longer to get inside the circle[10].
