Candy's Challenge 2
From DKC Speedruns
Normal
- Another short one.
- You want to find a tempo to this, you can count 2, 3, 3, 3 in your head (starting with 1 on entry).
- You can jump to get the coin to save a few frames but it won't spawn on top of you so this can delay the spawn. You also need to be on the ground for the victory fanfare to start, being in the air when the coin touches the counter will delay the fanfare. Overall, jumping is risky and can lose time.
- Again, don't forget to hold right to keep perfect overworld movement after completing the level to keep the RNG maniupation for Candy's Challenge 3. Candy's Challenges do not automatically send you forwards like normal levels do.
Risky
- You can save either 1 or 2 cycles depending on how aggressive you want to be.
- Be careful with this because if you fail it you can't start-select out, you have to go through the defeat animation and try again which loses a significant amount of time.
