Notes:

  • This stage is kaizo so don't worry if some of the strats seem hard. Not all of them in this video are necessarily worth doing in runs unless you wanna be the king kong
  • Pay close attention to how quickly you can shoot out of the barrels in this stage. Some of them are pretty much instant whereas others take a while to rotate
  • The roll at 0:07 under the bee is very tight to do without dying. It's recommended to let your roll ride out and die before jumping to be safe
  • Jump Momentum Conservation is not necessary to reach the barrel at 0:13 but it can help if you're comfy with it.
  • The blast barrel can only be reached after rolling through the 2 beavers at 0:23 if you use Jump Momentum Conservation and it's a little tight. Alternatively just roll through the beavers and into the barrel below.
  • To get that fat momentum approaching halfway, be sure not to be holding forward on the dpad until after landing
  • Rolling through the bird at 0:34 is tough and it's probably smarter to just bounce on the birds instead
  • To get the long roll at the end of the stage, do a min jump and roll right away afterwards
