Any%

  • Getting the optimal roll patterns in this level requires some memorization since all the platforms look the same.
  • The first bonus is about 0.4 seconds faster. Be careful to squeeze into the gap between the platform and the first tire - bouncing on the tire takes away from this tiny timesave.
  • The reroll at 0:07 is mostly consistent but occasionally the tire will give you a ledge extend, causing you to fall into the bee. However if you opt not to go for this you won't be able to roll over the bee, you'll have to jump.
  • Getting gravity glitch at 0:09 is economical since you need to get to the edge of this platform anyways. Gravity glitch lets you roll slightly earlier to make it under the bee to the tire.
  • The camera lock at 0:20 puts you into the perfect position to reroll through all 3 Kritters. This roll can be started from a bit further to the right. If you don't camera lock, you can hold B to hit one of the bouncing Kritters, go down through the banana bunch, jump up through the platform and roll through the last Kritter, but since this roll is only boosted once it's a bit slower.
  • The roll under the bee at 0:26 is also possible at 0:29 and 0:44 and saves around 0.10-0.15 seconds each time if done optimally. However it's a bit risky and hard to set up, so it was only performed once in the video for demonstration purposes. Getting gravity glitch helps.
  • Since you can recover stamina for free while waiting for moving tires, it's fine to simply run out of the roll at 0:31 instead of jumping, but be aware that you may be accidentally carrying a stored extended roll from 0:21.
  • The second bonus is about 1-1.5 seconds slower than crossing the gap optimally, so it is a safe alternative. The goal for this gap is to spawn the third tire in as early as possible, then memorize a spot in the background to locate an optimal jump location.
  • Make sure to jump over the bananas at the end to avoid getting banana blocked. You'll need DK in the next level so you can go for switch glitch.

  • Pretty much the same but with the second bonus this time.
