Any%

Safe

Notes:

  • The white barrels are random, which makes it a huge pain!

Optimal

Notes:

  • Bad luck can add 10+ seconds. This video focuses more on the platforming.
  • 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.
  • Sacrifice Dixie at the end and take the exact route you see. You can still get pulled into the ghost barrels with I-frames.
