All Stages

Optimal

Notes:

  • To get this roll, tap Y to start the roll (don't hold), then repress very quickly after jumping, when Diddy is off the ground.
  • Alternatively, an easier method is to grab the barrel and jump with it.
  • Jumping repeatedly at the end saves time. (It is unknown why. Possibly from carrying over momentum, possibly from reducing lag due to the wheel sparks)

Super Optimal

Notes:

  • Unconfirmed that this saves any time
  • Hold left after coming out of the barrel (without holding Y) to get yourself behind the cart, then begin holding right + Y after a while. Jump as soon as you hit the cart. Saves about 0.2s.

No Major Skips

Notes:

  • A lot of time save comes from buffered jumps.
  • Try to copy the jumps in the video as closely as you can. Some of the jumps have to be in pretty specific spots while others do not.
  • Learning the jumps will save you a lot more time than you think, don't be lazy and learn this shit!!
  • The roll at the start only saves ~2 frames.
