*Jumping as you gain control of your kong prevents you from being slowed down from the icy terrain at the start.
 +
*Spawn the first Krem as soon as possible and bounce off him right before the peak of his fifth jump. You can opt for the sixth jump to be safer.
 +
*Jumping up the first rope saves up to ~8 frames per jump if done correctly.

*To get into the warp barrel with Diddy, you must jump onto a ledge above the screen. To get above the screen, you must use a technique called [[DKC_Tricks#Rope_Scaling|Rope Scaling]]. To do this, hold down as you jump up and keep it pressed. To jump off, rotate to down left and hop off. Be careful - releasing down at any point while you're still on the rope will push you back onto the screen immediately. Mash Y before landing on the platform to roll immediately and land in the warp barrel in the top left of the screen.
 +
*You can go "under the bee" at 0:14. Roll from the middle of the platform to get a lower roll trajectory and do a very quick right-left wiggle once Diddy is fully off the platform. This strat typically saves less than 0.25 seconds and can kill you in various ways, so a good alternative is simply rolling off the platform and grabbing the rope above the bee instead.
 +
*To effectively climb the red rope at the end, you must make sure to hold up on the dpad the entire time you're jumping up the rope. If you don't do this, you will lose height between every jump and be required to do additional jumps up the rope.

*Any time saved by jumping up blue ropes is negligible, so it's not necessary at all
*To skip the first rope, roll from the middle of the platform and do a very quick right-left when you're at the same height as the bee. You only need to press right for three frames to dodge the bee, so make it as quick as possible. A slower skip doesn't save any time at all.
+
*Rolling typically doesn't save time on icy terrain.
*Note that the rope skip only saves half a second at best and can kill you in various ways (hitting the bees, missing the rope, accidentally grabbing the bee rope and instantly falling). If you aren't doing it perfectly, you will lose time, so it's not particularly worth doing until you're at a very high-level time.

*Buffering jumps on upwards slopes is important for not losing speed

*At :11 you can avoid grabbing the rope as long as you run off the edge without jumping or rolling first
==101%==

*The jump off the rope to the left at 0:18 actually does save time because that part of the wall puts you back on the rope right away. You will want to jump twice in quick succession here to go flying off that blue rope, whoaaa!

*The extendo at 0:23 can be tricky and very punishing. You want to roll through the 1st krem while holding Y, then release as you roll through the 2nd krem, then repress Y before you leave the ledge. The tricky part is timing your jump out of the roll. You need to jump after you roll completely through the blue rope, or else you will be teleported to the previous rope and hit the bee. If you timed your extendo poorly (probably too late on repress), but still made it past the blue rope, you will grab the blue rope and instantly die off the bottom. Cool trick.

Notes:
 
*Due to the ice physics, jumping from a standstill is the fastest way to reach full running speed.
 
*At :29, jumping over the klaptraps despawns them so they aren't in your way. However, done a certain way, it is possible to accidentally despawn the ropes leading to the next bonus as well. Follow this part of the video carefully.
 
*At 1:07, jump so that the kremlings spawn later and are in a favorable spot to roll through. Otherwise, you are likely to get hit. You can also very briefly let go of right instead, which will let you roll through both, but the difference is minimal.
 
*Be careful with this bonus skip, as there isn't a known 100% consistent visual cue at this time
