Notes

• The wind can be used to your advantage in this level. An exemple 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, swap to Dixie before the barrels, allowing you to fully use the wind to your advantage on the ledge after the barrels.
• A team-up goal can also be done to save time.

MORE STRATS

EmbedVideo was given an illegal value for the alignment parameter "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HbRxvQbOYg". Valid values are "left", "center", or "right".

• 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.
• Barrel Skip, accounting for the DK barrel you will need to pick up in Parrot Chute Panic, saves ~.5s.
  • The backups will save you if you miss the glide timing. Be careful of the shot enemy cannonball/barrel.
