Safe
Notes
- This is the safest method of doing the Scrolly Scroll.
- To activate the Scrolly Scroll:
- Platform with Squitter near the bottom of the hook.
- Press X to jump off of Squitter onto the hook.
- Press B to jump off the hook and land back onto Squitter.
- You have now stored the Scrolly Scroll glitch; roll into the Spiny and team-up before the honey.
- Holding right and Y, you must time your jump and team throws so that you don't hit the bees.
- Check out Twig's tutorial if you're still having trouble!
- To get the goal swap in this level, you need to land, run right ever so slightly, and then press select.
- Bad honey climbing will cost you a deceptive amount of time. Perfect the climbing technique!
Optimal
Notes
- From 0:05 to 0:15 focus on staying as low to the ground as possible, narrowly missing bees.
- When opening Squitter's crate, wiggle so that you are holding left on first frame of landing on Squitter (Saves ~0.1).
- At 0:32, kill the first bee instead of d-boosting through and then set up Scrolly Scroll with only 2 web platforms (Saves ~2s).
- Check 'More Strats' for input display on this section.
- Climb the final wall in 3 jumps instead of 4. Requires landing on the floor below the wall in a particular spot (Saves .25).
- Starting the climb from this spot will always give a good wall climb.
TWIG'S TUTORIAL
- Twig's scrolly scroll setup is very viable for new players.
MORE STRATS
- First method saves ~1s over the safe way.
- The two others are about the same speed and save ~1.5 to ~2s over the safe way.
- Damageless 2 is very slightly faster, so it is suggested to aim for that one. Failing it essentially just turns it into Damageless 1.
