Notes:

  • THE CREDITS SKIP IS NOT FRAME PERFECT. Not sure how that rumor started, but it's an 8 frame window and it saves like 8 seconds or so if you don't use a pause buffer.
  • To do the credits skip you want to take damage while damaging K. Rool at the same time on the hit right before the fake credits. To do this, you will want to stand in K. Rool's face, then a moment after his crown leaves the right side of the screen you do a max jump, then buffer 2 more max jumps right before landing. During the 3rd jump, tap left so that you're close enough to land on K. Rool but not so far left that you won't take damage from the crown that's coming back. If you see 2 explosions, you got it.
  • If you damage him without taking damage, you were probably too early. If you take damage on him but don't damage him too, you were probably too late and the crown went back to his head already.

Pause Buffer Credits Skip

Notes:

  • This video uses the pause buffer strat. To perform this method, you need to wait until the crown is within a certain range on the right side of the screen, pause the game (pausing early works too, since you can pause and unpause as many times as necessary), then once the crown is in the right spot you can unpause, immediately do a max jump and tap left to perform the skip.
