*The roll after landing from the barrel is the first instance of an [[DKC GBA Tricks#Unrestricted_Rolls | Unrestricted Roll]] that we see. As long as you start the roll without running while starting it, you can do another roll out of it without needing to jump first.

*Similarly to when shooting out of the first barrel in the stage, you can do an [[DKC GBA Tricks#Unrestricted_Rolls | Unrestricted Roll]] after the final barrel in the stage as well. This one is a bit trickier because this is also the first instance of [[DKC GBA Tricks#Fast_Shots | Fast Shots]] that we see in the run, where you want to avoid holding forward until you land after being shot out of the barrel. Just to be clear, you don't always necessarily need to wait all the way until you land after a [[DKC GBA Tricks#Fast_Shots | Fast Shot]], but since this one shoots you so close to the ground at a short distance, it just works out that way. Pay close attention to the input display here.

*Similarly to when shooting out of the first barrel in the stage, you can do an [[DKC GBA Tricks#Unrestricted_Rolls | Unrestricted Roll]] after the final barrel in the stage as well. If you hold B while holding forward while shooting out of this barrel, you will slow down towards the end, so be sure not to use B to roll until you've landed or just before landing.

Optimal

Notes:

  • Getting the long roll after shooting out of the first barrel isn't really reliable, you just kind of get the long roll sometimes when going for the alternative optimal strat (see video below), so don't worry if you don't get it often.
  • At the end, do a very small roll to move fast enough to bounce on the Krem's head to get on the tree, then do a Ledge Roll to get a low enough trajectory to hit the next Krem on the way down. This saves ~0.1s over the alternative ending in the video below.

Optimal Alternative

Notes:

  • The roll after landing from the barrel is the first instance of an Unrestricted Roll that we see. As long as you start the roll without running while starting it, you can do another roll out of it without needing to jump first.
  • Similarly to when shooting out of the first barrel in the stage, you can do an Unrestricted Roll after the final barrel in the stage as well. If you hold B while holding forward while shooting out of this barrel, you will slow down towards the end, so be sure not to use B to roll until you've landed or just before landing.
