Notes:

  • The roll through the first beaver uses Jump Momentum Conservation and is pretty tricky. You don't always get a speed boost from the beaver, but rolling the moment you become actionable upon entering the stage seems to help. As an alternative you can just do a regular jump after rolling through the beaver and do 2 more consecutive jumps to get over the mincer in time.
  • The jump over the Krusha at 0:22 is tough, so try to approach him in a consistent way and make a visual cue for when to do a max jump over him. JMC doesn't help you here.
  • JMC is pretty much necessary to make it over the Krusha at 0:38 in one jump. Alternatively you can jump out of that roll early and land in front of him before jumping over him.
  • Beating the mincer at 0:43 is pretty tight so you may want to wait for it instead
  • Using JMC to finish off the long beaver roll at the end saves 7-8 frames over doing Roll Momentum Conservation followed by a roll, and about 10 frames over just holding B and then doing another quick roll.
