*This route skips some hard jumps and makes the oil drum section at the end much easier without sacrificing nearly as much time as waiting for the full cycle does.
 
−
*The oil drums on this stage only hurt you when the flame is fully out. When it's still moving in or out, it is safe to land on. As in Torchlight Trouble, they also don't hurt Diddy at any point if he lands on the edge.
 
−
*The double Gnawty roll at :13 is not an extendo; just follow the movements and hold down Y the whole time. A well-timed jump will get you into the barrel instantly.
 
−
*At :40, do a big bounce off the Kremling, and you'll land late enough on the oil drum to avoid getting hit.

−
*If your setup is too fast, you'll only get a single burst effect when hitting the Kremling and hitting the frame will only net you a normal jumproll. To get the SJR, you need to delay more. Make sure you land a little past the pole in the background, and don't start running right until after you land.
+
*This [[DKC_Tricks#Super_Jumproll_.28SJR.29|SJR]] saves 14-17s depending on whether you do the dboost at the end of the world 4 boss and how well you do the stage without the [[DKC_Tricks#Super_Jumproll_.28SJR.29|SJR]].
−
*You have to do a precise left-right wiggle to hit the Grawty. It's very easy to wiggle too fast and then hit the wall or to wiggle too slow and miss it completely.
+
*To set up the [[DKC_Tricks#Super_Jump|Super Jump]], jump over the first oil drum and run into it from the right side.
 +
*After breaking open the DK barrel, jump and land somewhere near the center of the fire. It honestly doesn't matter where you land on the fire, the important part is making sure you land in the same spot every time for your particular setup.
 +
*The goal for this setup is to give the Krem enough time to be positioned along the top edge of the oil drum as you run off of it. If the Krem is too low when you run off and initiate the [[DKC_Tricks#Jumproll|Jumproll]] portion of the [[DKC_Tricks#Super_Jumproll_.28SJR.29|SJR]], you will only get a single explosion 9busrt animation you see when hitting an enemy), which will give you a [[DKC_Tricks#Jumproll|Jumproll]] instead of an [[DKC_Tricks#Super_Jumproll_.28SJR.29|SJR]]. so if this happens to you, it means your setup was too fast.
 +
*If you take damage in the center of the fire, you will want to run just past the black pole before moving back to the right to go for the frame.
 +
*This trick is sometimes more than a 1 frame window, and sometimes not. If it's more than 1 frame, I believe it would be just 2 frames still though (needs more testing).
 +
*After you hit the trick, do a quick left -> right wiggle once you're aligned with the group of pipes in the background to make sure you hit the Gnawty afterwards and don't bonk instead. Keep Y released as you roll through the first Gnawty, but then quickly do another wiggle an repress Y as you roll through the final Gnawty.

Notes:
+
*Arguably one of the hardest stages in the game.
−
*The flames from the oil drums will only harm you when they are fully extended from the barrels and only if your Kong's sprite is touching the center when you land. This can be used heavily in our favor to speed the stage up tremendously.
+
*The roll through the Gnawty at 0:14 requires an extendo to make it over the subsequent gap. You'll have to time the jump into the blast barrel afterwards though, as you can't roll all the way over the ledge.
−
*You need to be at the correct height to jump through the middle of the oil drums; too high or low and you'll hit the flame and die.
+
*See the visual in the section below for the extendo at 0:28.
−
*You want to grab the DK barrel for the jumproll in the next stage.
+
*See the visual below for the final extendo through the Mankey towards the end.
−
*When entering the bonus at :25, hold left briefly until your Kong is about to turn around, then start jumping to the right. If done correctly, the bananas will always be lined up. You will have to re-enter the stage to try again if you fail.  
+
 
−
*When the barrel drops from lining up the 3 bananas, DO NOT run at the wall. This will result in the victory animation and you won't actually make it into the bonus. You need to jump into the wall instead.
+
===Safe===
−
*To do the extended roll at 1:20, tap Y as late as possible before hitting the Manky and repress when you are over the arrow sign.

*Ignore the "Tap right" part towards the end of this visual - there's no need to release and re-tap right on the dpad unless you feel as though you overshot the jump leading up to that oil drum. It's better to have a visual cue for when to do a min height jump such that you don't need to release dpad.

Difficulty:

  • Optimal (SJR): 5/10
  • Optimal (No SJR/No Major Skips): 10/10
  • Safe: 6/10

All Stages

Optimal (SJR)

Notes:

  • This SJR saves 14-17s depending on whether you do the dboost at the end of the world 4 boss and how well you do the stage without the SJR.
  • To set up the Super Jump, jump over the first oil drum and run into it from the right side.
  • After breaking open the DK barrel, jump and land somewhere near the center of the fire. It honestly doesn't matter where you land on the fire, the important part is making sure you land in the same spot every time for your particular setup.
  • The goal for this setup is to give the Krem enough time to be positioned along the top edge of the oil drum as you run off of it. If the Krem is too low when you run off and initiate the Jumproll portion of the SJR, you will only get a single explosion 9busrt animation you see when hitting an enemy), which will give you a Jumproll instead of an SJR. so if this happens to you, it means your setup was too fast.
  • If you take damage in the center of the fire, you will want to run just past the black pole before moving back to the right to go for the frame.
  • This trick is sometimes more than a 1 frame window, and sometimes not. If it's more than 1 frame, I believe it would be just 2 frames still though (needs more testing).
  • After you hit the trick, do a quick left -> right wiggle once you're aligned with the group of pipes in the background to make sure you hit the Gnawty afterwards and don't bonk instead. Keep Y released as you roll through the first Gnawty, but then quickly do another wiggle an repress Y as you roll through the final Gnawty.

The cue for when to release B will be different depending on whether you hit the Gnawty (see visual below)

Notes:

  • You want to do an SJR setup where you don't take damage if you intend to go for the Antics SJR.

  • Arguably one of the hardest stages in the game.
  • The roll through the Gnawty at 0:14 requires an extendo to make it over the subsequent gap. You'll have to time the jump into the blast barrel afterwards though, as you can't roll all the way over the ledge.

  • The oil drums on this stage only hurt you when the flame is fully out. When it's still moving in or out, it is safe to land on. As in Torchlight Trouble, they also don't hurt Diddy at any point if he lands on the edge.
  • The double Gnawty roll at :13 is not an extendo; just follow the movements and hold down Y the whole time. A well-timed jump will get you into the barrel instantly.
  • At :40, do a big bounce off the Kremling, and you'll land late enough on the oil drum to avoid getting hit.
