Notes:
- You can only really change your trajectory after stopping lunging for a bit, which is important for several sections of this stage. A good way to do this when you need to change your angle slightly is to just slow down the tempo of your mashing.
- Even though you do many more lunges per section than in a SNES DKC game, it still helps a lot to count how many lunges you're doing in each section for consistency
- Avoiding the shark at 0:08 while trying to go fast is tricky. If you simply continue ascending along the wall at full speed and try lunging around the corner you'll lose your fish on the shark. What you need to do instead is release up on the dpad near the top of the ascent, then once Enguarde has vertically decelerated enough, then you can begin lunging, as you will now have a more horizontal angle.
- If you don't slow down at 0:23, the Squidge will get you, so e careful. On the other hand, if you take that corner beforehand slowly you may not end up losing time since you would have had to wait.
- To dodge the mincers at 0:35, hug the left wall so you have a consistent placement each time. Once Enguarde's body is vertically centered with the bottom of the left mincer, that's when you want to lunge.
- For the rest of the stage, just familiarize yourself with when you need to move up or down to dodge things. It's usually only slightly that you'll need to move.
