Morks Old Route (Safe With Damage Boost)

Notes:

• This is faster than the safe strat but slower than optimal. It can be more reliable if you struggle with Team Up Jump.
• Horizontal Rope Climbing
• Damage Boosting

Optimal

Notes:

• This is over 10 seconds faster than the old route.
• You can fail the Team Up Jump up to 9 times and still be faster than the old route, depending on how you fail.
• At 0:10 is the HUAAAANG boost; a trick discovered by Final Fantasy Tactics router HUAAAANG.
  • The key is to do a small enough jump so you land at the top of the bee while he's still high enough.
• The movement after HUAAAANG boost is important, as any other movement will require you to let go of the D-pad.
• Make sure to grab the DK barrel at 0:15 if you're doing optimal Barbos and anticipate taking damage.
• Horizontal Rope Climbing

Notes:

• This jump is very precise
• Find cues based on how consistently you can climb these horizontal ropes, as well as the roll and jump from the top ledge
  • Horizontal Rope Climbing
• If your rope climbs looked different than what you're used, or if you bonked the ledge, definitely play it safe here
• This saves around 0.60 seconds
