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.
- Not shown in the video, but note that a ghost barrel can only spawn in the incorrect direction 3 times. Keeping this in mind, you can preemptively jump into a ghost barrel if you're getting bad luck and it's appearing for the 4th time.
- 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.
