Flap	10.909	12.440	18.176

DS Yoshi Falls has a flap-only ultra shortcut, which uses supergrinding, a delayed lap count, wallclips, and respawning to save time. Outside the ultra shortcut, it also currently benefits from the use of supergrinding and wallclips in both 3lap and flap categories. Hence, it has two 3lap and three flap categories.
