Notes

• The wind can be used to your advantage in this level. An example being the 3 first pits of the level; by letting yourself fall a little longer, you can get a bigger wind push onto the platform.

Additions

• At 0:07, do not grab the chest before starting your roll (Saves ~.25s).
• At 0:14, roll over the pillars, instead of jumping on all of them.
• At 0:28 is the Rolly Roll. After jumping to the ledge with the DK barrel, momentarily let go of Y and then press it again when you're close to the ledge (Saves ~.4s).
  • On failure, use either the DK barrel (if you rolled too early) or the chest (too late) to quickly dispatch a Kutlass and keep moving.
  • Note that if you get stuck on the hook just before, you will come in too late on the Kutlass cycle and might fall on him.
• At 0:41, do not switch to Dixie for the final glide. Instead, team throw her into the barrel, allowing you to finish the stage with Diddy and to perform a Goal Swap (Saves over 1s).
  • Note that the goal swap won't work without team throwing into the barrel.

• Kipples Chestless can save minimal time if you pull it off optimally.
• With good jumps and wind usage, you can skip the 3rd rat entering the pillars section. It is pretty precise and not recommended (Saves ~.25s).
• The pillars can be done in various ways, all being the same speed.
