Well you're closer so you spend less time aiming yourself towards it, it's higher up so you'll get there a few seconds earlier and you don't have to spend time working your way over to the bomb flower platform. The way I see it, it should be about 10 seconds faster (assuming it even works).
I guess I'll retime it, but as far as being 10 seconds faster I don't know about that. The bats can also be annoying but hopefully that won't happen every time.
