Level Details
Game Donkey Kong Country 3
World name Krematoa
Level name Tyrant Twin Tussle
Previous level Criss Kross Cliffs
Next level Swoopy Salvo

Difficulty:

  • 103%: 9/10
  • Beat Krematoa: 7/10

103%

Notes:

  • Fast Koin hit (starting at 0:28):
    • Make the first web platform from your jump out of the lower area.
    • Make sure to get max height web platforms on each jump up. If your last platform is a bit too low, it won't be possible to correct and you'll have to revert to the slower strat.
    • Falling down to reach the bonus is a bit faster than going over the bazuka.
  • 1st bonus
    • Optimal time remaining: 14 or 15
    • If you don't keep a good pace going rightward, your web will despawn before hitting the twins.
    • Squitter has a bit of a wonky hitbox, which makes it easy to miss a star by accident.
  • 2nd bonus
    • Optimal time remaining: 30
    • Do max height jumps to bonk off the ceiling, then mid-height jumps over the twins.
    • Where you roll and jump is very important.
  • After exiting the 2nd bonus, move left a bit. The twins to the right are spawned and moving while you exit the bonus. Moving left despawns them and resets their position.
  • At 1:40, the glide between the twin and the bee is somewhat tight. Start a max height jump once the first guy is about in the middle of his jump. Stop your glide when Dixie is roughly at the top of the stalagmite in the background.
  • 3rd bonus
    • Optimal time remaining: 33-37
    • If you lost Dixie on the section before this you will lose a LOT of time, anywhere between 10-20 seconds depending on RNG.

Beat Krematoa

Notes:

  • Dixie's hover and smaller hitbox are greatly beneficial here
  • Many jumps are somewhat tight, especially the initial jump with Kiddy
  • Depending on the expected positions of twins throughout the stage, you may need to limit your speed (not roll as much) or increase speed (maximize rolls) to ensure that you can cleanly jump over them

ALTERNATIVE ENDING

  • At 0:09 is GDQ Jump, named that because it was first shown during a Beat Krematoa run at SGDQ 2015.
  • GDQ Jump allows you to start Swoopy Salvo with 2 kongs, making the Squawks section a lot easier.
