Notes
- Under normal circumstances, you need 55 bear coins to buy the mirror (50 coins) and the shell (5 coins). In order to buy both the mirror and the shell from Bazaar with less than 55 coins, you'll have to execute the so-called robbery. By first buying the mirror, and clearing the following textboxes fast enough, you can buy the shell before the bear coins have counted down below 5. This can be done either through timing the inputs or mashing, depending on player preference. Note that at least 50 bear coins are required.
- In general 52 to 53 bear coins should be mostly safe if your mashing speed/consistency with timing the inputs is sufficient.
- Visiting Blue's Beach Hut and opening Krematoa are done early in order to allow you to enter Krematoa quickly after the K. Rool reset, which means the spawns in the green banana bonuses can be predicted.
- It is possible to execute a bear skip at Blue's Beach Hut. You'll want to avoid this at any cost, because if you get the bear skip, the Kongs will give Blue the present, but won't get the bowling ball in return. If this happens, the save file can no longer access the banana bird cave in Mekanos.
- Opening Krematoa can be tricky. Sometimes the game refuses to accept two seemingly fine circles. Keep trying until Krematoa opens.
- Leaving Bazaar's General Store and Barter's Swap Shop as soon as you obtain the items you need saves some time. You cannot do this in Blue's Beach Hut.
- This video by Claude, who timed this route to be faster, explains the robbery and the bear coin route in-depth.
50 BEAR COIN ALTERNATIVE ROBBERY
Notes
- If you have exactly 50 bear coins, you can do the robbery by walking out of Bazaar's General Store after buying the mirror and revisiting to buy the shell. This loses approximately 7 seconds, but is consistent.
- This is best used as an alternative if you miss some bear coins during the run. If you don't feel comfortable going for the robbery, it is faster to collect some backup bear coins to arrive at 55 bear coins.
- This ONLY works with 50 bear coins.
