Notes

  • Beware of the very edges of the ledges in this stage, as they may eat rolls or jumps.
  • At 0:56, wait for the tire to be rolling on ground before bouncing on it. Throwing the DK barrel at the cutlass is part of the waiting.
  • It is possible to do a Scrolly Scroll in this level as seen in Hornet Hole. Referencing the video, the trick begins at 1:05.
    • The entire goal of the trick is to get hit by the bee and time entering in the diagonal barrel such that Dixie lands on the tire.
    • To do so, repress Y to flutter once Dixie flies up offscreen, then only turn back to enter the barrel after collecting 2 bananas.
    • If successful, moving right will give you enormous speed and momentum.
