Optimal

Notes

  • Do not buffer your roll upon entering this stage, this will cause the roll to finish before the edge and Kiddy to bounce off Squawks's crate. Walk to the right a little before starting the roll.
  • Swap as soon as you can after dismounting Enguarde to avoid losing momentum.
  • 1st bonus: 15 is very difficult to get. Avoid swimming with Ellie as much as possible; try to jump out as soon as you can.
  • Hold up to land on Ellie after each dismount.
  • 2nd bonus: Be as greedy with Kiddy grabs as you are comfortable with. This is one of the few bonuses in 103% that you can't re-enter if you fail, so avoid that at all costs!
  • After exiting the 2nd bonus, holding Y+right will cause you to hit the bomb, preventing you from getting the Koin. You can either delay your movement slightly or walk to the right a little bit then jumping over the bomb.

Optimal Alternative

Notes

  • If you enter with Dixie in front you can do Squawks skip
    • Initially roll left to gain momentum, then roll right.
    • As soon as Dixie starts falling down, press left for a very short amount of time then continue holding right.
  • The DK coin strat is faster than the one shown in the Optimal video, but more risky.

MORE STRATS

Notes

  • The Booty Bird snipe is very precise. Make sure you're able to react to hitting the Booty Bird or not.
  • If you prefer to do the first bonus with Dixie, swap after the bonus while still in the water.
  • There are many ways to grab the DK coin. The first method shown is the fastest. Use the method that you like the best.
