  • Optimal: 7/10

Any%

Safe

Notes

  • Every barrel spawn is random, so seconds can be lost on RNG in this fight. Mid Right Right is the best possible luck.
  • The 2nd round is the most important in terms of RNG, since getting the infamous Left spawn is much slower.
  • Standing at the higher platform for the fanfare saves ~2 frames over the lower platform. Save the frames!

Optimal

Mid Mid Right

Notes

  • Reaching the rope at 0:18 can be difficult. If you start your jump from the middle of the platform, you want to begin holding Left at the same time as you jump. The further left on the platform you are, the longer you need to go neutral before holding left.
  • The 2nd set of ropes can be tough to navigate quickly without getting hit. Find a comfortable way if you struggle doing Riz Ropes.

MORE STRATS

  • If executed perfectly, Claude and V0oid ropes are the same speed as the ropes shown in the Optimal tape above, but they are much more difficult.
  • The Quick Left spawn methods are a bit risky, but you avoid waiting for the bird after grabbing the barrel.
    • For #1, hesitate a split second before jumping on the bird so you don't lose Diddy.

Other Luck

Left Left Mid

  • See MORE STRATS for quick left spawn strats with the 2nd phase.
