Any%

Safe (U)

Notes:

  • His spawn places are random, which makes it annoying sometimes.
  • Sometimes, he'll be spawing at the complete left side and you won't be able to hit him normally. To hit him in those cases you have to let go of left before you hit the corner so the leftover momentum takes you further than normally possible.
  • (0:43: Here is an example of this kind of bad luck).

Optimal (U)

Notes:

  • The video does not get perfect RNG, but demonstrates the quick hits, which are the improvement over the Safe video.
  • The quick hits are all fairly precise and run a high risk of taking damage if done incorrectly.
  • Overall, the quick hits save a little over 2 seconds.

Optimal (J)

Notes:

  • This makes use of Bleak Skip, which is a frame perfect start press.
  • The frame you want to press start on roughly corresponds to the final note of the death jingle.
  • This only works on the J version.
  • You CANNOT do this in 103%. You will not receive the Bonus Coin needed to complete the run.
  • Taking damage on the left side results in a shorter freeze frame when Kiddy takes Dixie's position.
  • Avoid hitting bleak as it can desync the audio and video slightly, resulting in the audio cue for the start press being inconsistent.
