All Stages

Optimal

Notes:

  • Before you mount Enguarde, be sure to stop your moment to the left. Otherwise you will move left slightly after mounting him.
  • Counting and being consistent with the angles of your lunges is crucial to becoming consistent at this stage. If not, it can be very easy to lose your fish.
  • If you are going for the dismount strat at the end of the stage there are 2 ways of doing it. One is to cut the corner leading up to the final section and do every lunge optimally and the other is to simply do every lunge sub optimally - either will set you up nicely for the dismount at the end. Doing every lunge optimally but dropping a lunge will be the equivalent of doing every lunge sub optimally, so it will still work out. Where this strat becomes difficult is the in between - if all of your lunges are just slightly sub optimal, you won't be positioned correctly for the ending and will likely bonk. It just takes practice.
  • Alternatively, you can set up a lunge through the Clambo at the end. However, this strat is arguably more difficult and slightly slower. Visuals for this can be found below.
