  • Minimize the time spent grabbing onto the ropes. Also, when you can, minimize the time you spend in the air while jumping onto Klobbers.
  • For safety, a despawn of the Kloak is performed at 0:52. It is done simply by spawning him, then getting him off screen again.
  • Rolling through both Klampons at 0:47 can result in losing Diddy, if you start your roll too early.
  • Sometimes, the rope after the double Spiny roll will spawn slightly later, and coming in too fast won't allow you to grab onto it. To prevent this, jump right after killing the second Spiny, cutting the roll short.


===Optimal===

Additions

  • Roll under the rope at 0:17 instead of grabbing onto it (Saves about .15s).
  • At 0:21, a moonwalk is performed to extend the length of the roll. While it is still subject to debate, the general consensus is that it does not save time over the safe route, as the time saved from the roll is equal to the time lost executing the moonwalk.
