Notes

  • Having only one kong until after the midpoint saves about 1.3s worth of lag.
  • While it may look easy, not hugging the corners in the swimming sections will require some practice.
  • At 0:16, press and hold down as Dixie slides off the edge to keep air falling speed while underwater. Let go of down to cancel this.
  • At 0:29, avoid swimming too high or the lockjaw will be alerted from the right side, blocking the optimal way out the water.
  • If the vertical swimming section at 0:42 isn't done quickly enough, the lockjaw will spawn at a higher position, due to the higher water level. When this is the case, it may be possible to swim under the enemy instead.
  • Enguarde can take damage while between lunges, failing the bonus, so take extra care not to start them too early when moving towards an enemy.
  • If a single enemy is missed in the bonus, cross the sign post with Enguarde and collect the bananas. They will count as an enemy kill.
