Any%

  • You only have to tap left for 1 frame to enter the warp.
  • You cannot roll through the Rock Krocs
  • The game will automatically send you to Cranky's Cabin after beating the level for the first time.

Any% (Risky)

  • This option is only slightly faster.
  • Ledge extend on the tire.
  • If you miss the final stop barrel, go back for it.

87%

  • This level gets considerably more complicated in this category.
  • You cannot complete the level, go back for the bonuses, and start-select out of the level. The bonuses only count after collecting them and then subsequently finishing the level.
  • Entering the warp and doing the level backwards is still around 15 seconds faster than doing it forwards.
  • The Klaptraps at 0:05 are pretty hard to jump over without bouncing, it's generally fine and only a tiny bit slower to bounce them.
  • The first bonus (the one further to the right) is really hard to get into. If you push the tire into the Klaptraps, stomping them usually takes priority over the tire and you may need to bounce them a few times to clear them out before you can get on the tire. The damage boost option here is consistent; simply run the tire forward into the Klaptraps (don't roll) and hold A to high bounce off the tire. Having DK in front is fine since you're gonna need him for the stickerbook, and you can grab the floating DK barrel on the way back. It's also barely possible to get into this bonus without the tire, but you need to go past the bonus to jump from the higher ground, and this is a couple seconds slower even if you get it first try.
  • You can fire the barrel in the first bonus early enough to miss the Winky token, but if you fire too early you'll land back in the barrel. There aren't many other Winky tokens to accidentally pick up through the run so the risk of getting a Winky minigame is low anyways.
  • After exiting the second (left) bonus, watch out for the troll bananas directly under the first (right) bonus.
  • Pushing the tire forward at 0:30 can be finnicky, if you roll into it it's a bit safer to start the roll from a little further to the left so you don't accidentally end up on top of it. Simply running forward to push the tire is fine too. If you push the tire too far you may need to stomp the left Klaptrap before being able to bounce on the tire. Bouncing directly to the right Klaptrap is pretty tight so you may want to just land in the space between them.
  • Try not to bounce the Klaptrap under the N while jumping down into the pit with the stickerbook.
  • You can put Donkey away immediately after uncovering the sticker book and finish the level as normal.
