- 101%: 7/10
All Stages
Optimal
Notes:
- Rolling at :08 instead of jumping saves six frames if done correctly. If you just jump, let go of Y momentarily as you land (repress it as soon as you're in the air again) to avoid grabbing the barrel and sliding to your death.
- At :18 you can shoot the barrels so fast that you will hit the bee, just afterwards its possible to hit the klaptrap if your jump the first 1 or 2 frames after landing.
- The Barrel Boost just requires you to be on a slope. If you get the boost but miss a bird, it means you were turning around and jumped before you were fully facing forward.
- Optimal barrel at :41 involves jumping directly into it from underneath, you have 6 frames to do this before reaching the death trigger, the best way to do this consistently is to use an audio cue from rolling threw the necky.
- Rolling isn't faster on icy terrain.
EXTENDO TUTORIAL
- Basic extendo, roll at the very edge of the first platform, then release Y, and after you hit the second vulture roll at the edge of the other platform and jump to the barrel.
- 101 strat but used in any all stages, basically same that the last one, but after you hit the second vulture repress Y right after you hit so you can roll through the third vulture.
101%
Notes:
- Most of the hard tech is noted in the all stages video, check that out as well.
- To make the extended roll at :44 you have to roll through all 3 birds but may take some time to be consistent with. The video above explains it a bit.
- You can do a bonus skip on the bonus you re-enter the stage for, the bonus is off screen making it hard to time. If you hear the barrel shoot and your game is paused you got it.
- Any bonus skip that is a balloon bonus saves around 10 seconds(like in this stage)
