Contents
All Stages
Optimal
Notes:
- This level is extremely unforgiving. Make sure you know exactly when to start lunging in each area so that you do not miss a lunge and lose Enguarde.
- If you lose Enguarde early, you can fetch him again by swimming right in the area directly after the halfway barrel. You can swim above the fish that guards him by mashing B and hugging the ceiling.
- The mincer clip at 0:30 only saves single digit frames, so gauge whether this strat is actually worth it for you.
- The key to the two mincer clips at 0:37 is make sure you start hugging the right wall as you go upwards, while being sure to be facing to the left by the time you start hugging the wall. Push towards the wall and then tap to the left when you're about to touch the wall to do this.
- For the third mincer clip right afterwards, hug the ceiling to make sure you are lunging through the top portion of the mincer rather than through its center (this makes the timing more lenient).
- If you lose Enguarde to the vertical-moving mincer after the shortcut, you can avoid the large school of fish at the end by hugging the ceiling. Make sure to wait a moment for the last pair of mincers to pass.

- The key to the two mincer clips at 0:37 is make sure you start hugging the right wall as you go upwards, while being sure to be facing to the left by the time you start hugging the wall. Push towards the wall and then tap to the left when you're about to touch the wall to do this.
- For the third mincer clip right afterwards, hug the ceiling to make sure you are lunging through the top portion of the mincer rather than through its center (this makes the timing more lenient).

Safe
Notes:
- Play the stage following the optimal route, but do this at the mincer section near the end instead of the triple clip. There aren't really any other tricks to make this stage easier, so practice lots!
No Major Skips
Optimal
Notes:
- Plays the same as All Stages, you just do not take the Major Skip through the wall towards the end, which makes the stage significantly harder.
- To do the lower mincer section, you will want to time you first lunge just a bit after you reach the bottom of the long descent at ~0:46, then time your 2nd lunge immediately after. You will want to wait a bit before timing your 3rd lunge and clipping the mincer, then time your 4th lunge immediately afterwards. Again, you will want to delay your next lunge just a bit before clipping the final mincer.
- To avoid the mincer on the final ascent, you will want to be completely against the wall and facing the mincer. It is easier to set this up on the left side, although it loses a bit of time.
Safe Ending
Notes:
- This is a safer alternative that doesn't involve any mincer clips
- To make this strat easier, be sure to keep holding up on the d-pad after the first lunge into the Danger Zone
- You do not have to cut the corner with the first lunge, this will still work
- You may hug the left wall at 0:07 instead of the right wall, which is easier to set up and only loses a little bit of time
