- The optimal strats in this level heavily feature extended roll storage. Pay close attention to the roll animation and be aware of when a normal roll turns into an extended roll.
- After rolling the first Kritter, walk forward for at least 10 frames to recover stamina, roll through the next two Kritters, and jump out of your roll before the extended roll starts so you can use the stored extended roll on the next platform.
- The strat at 0:14 is quite precise: you need to position your roll from the green platform to be far enough forward to make it to the small platform, but far enough back so that it ends on the small platform. This way you can buffer a reroll through the Necky. A safer alternative is to simply roll from anywhere on the green platform, then jump and bounce off the Necky. Be aware that the small platform has a bundle of troll bananas which trigger easily and will almost always bounce you if you try to jump to this platform, so an alternative is to roll from far left on the green platform, fall down and jump up to the small platform from below.
- At 0:17 it's best to get to the edge of the platform before rolling through the Necky since you can carry the boosted roll across the next platform. If you didn't roll through the previous Necky, you won't have a stored extended roll here and you'll have to jump earlier. It's also important to recover stamina if you want to get the reroll through the Gnawty on the next platform.
- After hitting the Gnawty, another stored extended roll is used under the star barrel. It's better to jump out of the first roll during the upwards sloped portion, then use the stored extended roll on the flatter portion.
- At 0:27 you want to position your roll from just about where the background support is, over the second banana. The stored extended roll triggers right before the Gnawty falls down and gives you a third roll, taking you right into position to buffer a reroll off the edge of the platform through the Necky.
- At 0:32 the bird will occasionally damage you based on your trajectory down the slope.
- Notice stamina is recovered before rolling at 0:35 and then spent in a short reroll at 0:37. This helps ensure you get to the platform fast enough to hit the final Necky. This roll can be buffered out of the bounce.
- A stored extended roll makes it into the goal.
