Notes

• We swap to Diddy at 0:32 since Diddy's hitbox is smaller. This makes the end of this level easier.
• This level is deceptively hard. Not touching any walls/corners is difficult to achieve, and requires a ton of practice.
• (Shown in Optimal video) You can manipulate the puffer explosion in the final room and not have to wait for his spine to go by while going up the final tunnel. To do so, hug the corners seen below when entering the area and move quickly past the puffers:

Puffer Manip

• Alternatively, if you did not despawn him but are still going fast enough, you can go up the tunnel before the spine hits you.
• On Virtual Console, Glimmer does not blind the screen when moving the light left to right like he does on SNES.

Additions

• Wait for the second DK barrel in the stage to grab Diddy, as it is slightly more in your path.
• Perform the Kipples swap at the end of stage, in order to have Diddy in front for Krockhead Klamber.
• You never want to be Diddy in this level he is bad please see diagram for proof.
  • Since Dixie's hitbox is slightly bigger than Diddy, navigating the level can be a bit harder.
