Difficulty:

  • Backup Jumproll: 8/10
  • Optimal No Jumproll: 11/10

All Stages

Optimal

Notes:

  • After rolling through the Klumps at :06, do a fast left-right when you grab the bananas to make it under the bee. This roll is not an extendo.
  • To roll over the bees at :16 get a good optimal roll on the platform before so that the bees are positioned in a good spot, other wise you will get hit
  • To properly set up the jumproll, do the smallest jump possible after the barrel without letting go of right, then roll immediately upon landing.

Backup Jumproll

Notes:

  • For this jumproll, you simply need to turn around the moment before you roll into the Army. It's pretty forgiving about his position.

Optimal No Jumproll

Notes:

  • Read about notes for pre jumproll strats
  • To do the roll at :36, you need to make sure you move far enough to the right on the previous platform so that this one is on the screen early. That will set it up so you have room to land beside the Gnawty. Once you're on the platform, do a quick left right, then do an extendo on both Gnawties. The timing isn't too strict; just tap Y on the platform, hold while you're in the air, and repeat on the second one.
  • At :50 the most important trick in all of DKC is about to happen, golden barrel. You want to load the bee on the right then quickly turn around and pick up the barrel, throw it into the Krusha then roll right and jump over the bee. Done properly it loses no time, and tbh, you missed the jumproll if you got this far so you should go for it even if it loses half a second. =3
  • At the end you can double extendo threw the Gnawty and Klump to make it to the exit fastest.

Dumb Trick

Notes:

  • Don't do this

Another Dumb Trick

Notes:

  • Don't do this either

Jumproll

Notes:

  • This video is just showing where to roll out of the jumproll into the bonus there is a good visual cue that is explained in the video.

Optimal

Notes:

  • Do a big roll off of the tire to get to the platform at the end, it seems scary but you will make it everytime
  • For the bonus at the start of the stage the hidden platform is directly under the visible one.
  • Jumping around the first platform can kill you if you don't take the corner tight enough. If you don't want to do that just land on the visible platform wait for it to start moving and walk or jump down to the bottom one.
  • The bonus skip doesn't save much time here
