You can use the skips to bypass most of the level, but the tree jump is still really hard.
Any%
- When you exit the first skip sequence you need to run forward a short amount before rolling off the tree. Therefore you need to hold B through the entire sequence so that you can run when you land instead of getting a buffered roll. If you release B, you'll have to walk.
- The roll pattern after the star barrel is quite precise, you need to position the first roll to hit the Kritter, get the box boost through the bananas and end under the second Kritter with full stamina so you can buffer a reroll through both Kritters. It's best to jump up to the last hill and roll off it so you can get over the walking Kritter, because if you fall down into the pit below it's really difficult to get over him without bouncing, which loses time.
- As a safer alternative you can jump up to the two platforms in front of the bouncing Kritters to roll through them directly.
- At 0:22 you want to position yourself as far as possible over the ledge without reaching the slanted part so you don't get a sloped roll. It's hard to recover if you miss this jump. If you did the previous strat make sure to recover stamina here since you want to buffer a roll and reroll at the end of the level.

- This time you can release B during the first barrel cannon sequence since you will need to buffer a roll off the tree at 0:10. After rolling off the tree simply buffer a reroll to go through the Kritters and get into the barrel cannon.
- Barrel cannons take a long time to wind up in this game so it's generally OK to mash A to fire immediately, but for more accuracy it's better to learn the timing.
- The shot past the O at 0:16 has only a 5 frame window to succeed so mashing this one is not a good idea. Missing or delaying this shot loses several seconds. Taking the second skip and going backwards is also a few seconds slower.
- You can simply hold right and B to run into the pit in the bonus.
- Rolling through the bouncing Kritters and grabbing the TNT is optimal, but you can also take the DK barrel and wait for the big bounce to go under the Kritter, which is only about half a second slower.
