Notes:
- Bad luck can add 10+ seconds. This video focuses more on the platforming.
- Note on ghost barrel RNG:
- RNG is decided the frame you enter the level.
- Not all ghost barrels have the same chances of giving you perfect luck. As an example, the 3rd ghost barrel has a 66% chance of giving perfect luck, while the chances of the first ghost barrel giving perfect luck is much lower.
- The ghost barrels must appear in the correct direction upon their 4th time appearing. Keeping this in mind, you can preemptively jump into a ghost barrel if you're getting luck this bad.
- At 0:29, you need optimal movement to reach the next ghost barrel before it disappears.
- Getting in between the ghost barrel at 0:36 can be tricky. After leaving the barrel at 0:35, start a roll and do a tiny jump when Dixie is under the Banana bunch. Then, simply buffer a glide (glide at the peak of your jump).
- The movement at 0:53 sets you up to skip a ghost barrel cycle. Positioning is quite precise, as alerting the 3rd green barrel too early will cause problems.
- The ghost barrel at 1:08 can be reached if it is initially facing the correct direction. This is much more difficult on U than it is here, on J.
