Notes:
- You want to use Jump Momentum Conservation after rolling through the first 3 beavers to keep that 3 baddie momentum on your way to the rope afterwards. To do this, you basically just want to release B after rolling through the 3rd beaver and then jump without having B held.
- Grabbing the barrel at the start and hitting the beaver with it is a handful of frames faster than rolling through him and getting a dead roll.
- Jump off the ropes asap if you can, aside from the ones before midway. It's worth noting that when grabbing a swinging rope, your momentum is preserved even after you jump off. So if you have a lot of momentum from rolling through enemies prior to grabbing a swinging rope, you can do a JMC as you leave the rope to retain some of that momentum (not performed in video)
- To roll through all 3 Krems right after halfway you need to roll off of the middle ledge rather than from the top edge or the ground
- You can skip the first 2 ropes at 0:31 with a tight roll + Jump Momentum Conservation but it's probably not really worth it
- Wouldn't be surprised if there's a faster strat for the section at 0:35 but this one is fairly consistent. Again, it's very important where you jump out of your roll prior to rolling through the Krems here. If you set it up correctly you can just roll a few times in a row though.
- The roll -> bounce off the tire can be made more lenient with your good friend Jump Momentum Conservation! It seems as though despite 'landing' on the tire you're still able to conserve your momentum(?) Sure
- Rolling through the 3 Krems and going into the barrel at the end is fast so do it. Sometimes a jump into the barrel is necessary, so it's good to do a late one just in case
Additional Strat
Notes:
- You can use Jump Momentum Conservation to make it over the gap, allowing you to take advantage of rolling through the beaver for your entire roll rather than having to cut it short. Only saves like ~0.1s or less and is pretty hard though.
