All Stages

Optimal

This stage's video is annotated for more clarity.

Notes:

  • Losing the bird is usually run over.
  • Hold left and B to immediately jump as you enter the stage to jump over the first Mini-Necky's attack, if you hold Y you will get hit by his attack.
  • You can clip through many other Mini-Necky's in the manner shown above. If you hesitate or slow down accidentally, you'll need to avoid the Mini-Necky. The bug that causes it to be harmless only lasts momentarily.

Notes:

  • Even more so then in All stages, losing the bird is terrible, you need her to reach the last bonus.
  • The beginning barrel boost section isn't to bad, the jump under the kremling is tight however, solid movement and you will reach the rope every time.
  • After the first bonus music fades out you can hold y b and right to jump out of the bonus in the air, allowing you to flutter over a big part of the stage saving quite a bit of time.
  • After exiting the second bonus, jump when you just started to go up the slope then briefly let go of the d-pad you will clear the barrel very easily, jump once more clearing the hill and the manky at the top.
