GTA3 (PS2) - 100 hidden packages before the first mission in

Grand Theft Auto 3 - Playstation 2
100 hidden packages before the first mission in 56:03 (single segment)
by Chris Balch

In this video, I start a new game, collect the 100 hidden packages in prison clothes, then finish the first mission "Luigi's Girls".

First, I collect all of the packages in Portland (except the one in the subway and the one in the water). Then, I do the tunnel trick to get to Staunton Island before the bridge is repaired. Then, I collect most of the packages in Staunton. Then, I take a fast car through the subway tunnel and grab the subway package in Portland. Then, I drive through the subway tunnel to Shoreside Vale and collect all of the packages there. Then, I fly the dodo to the top of the bridge that connects Staunton to Shoreside and grab that package. Then, I jump down to Staunton and grab a fast boat to collect the last packages.

The time starts after the cut-scene where 8-Ball gets in the Kuruma and you can see the game clock (it starts at 4:09). The time ends when the game clock appears after finishing the first mission "Luigi's Girls" (ends at 12:12). 12:12 minus 4:09 is 8:03, plus 2 "days" (24 minutes each), equals 56:03.
