ADVANCEDthirteen


General:
A13 is a pretty standard stage�obvious strat, easy on Normal Mode, easy for good scores. For the WR you need to have a great second jump, and that is a bit random. In fact it is so flukey that I managed to the this record on my very first try once.

I want a consistent finish!
Now that�s an easy one. Go forward and stop on the metal thingy. Get hit up, move forward and onto the next metal part. Get hit up, hold forward, over the ramp (do not use the bumper here), maybe pull back slightly, goal.

I want a good score!
Good scores start at 7060, which is pretty easy to get. There is no substitute for the WR strat.

I want the record!
Go onto the first metal, get hit up, get the banana. When you land roll forward slowly. The crucial part of this level is the second jump. Basically, you want to jump as far forward as possible. Therefore you want to get hit up�
     �when you are at the very front of the metal platform (the near side)
     �while you are still rolling (though very slowly)

You can still get very good scores if you are not rolling, but you need to be at the very front. Now, the second important thing about this jump. You don�t want to go straight. You want to do something like a boost as you get hit up. As you jump, swirl to the left and then back right again (you need to pick up the single banana, and that is straight ahead). It will be easier not to hit the wall in front of you and you can jump further. How far should you jump then? Approximately to the middle of the metal part in front of the ramp, as far as possible anyway. Go over the ramp, now you will most probably have to pull back a bit, pick up a single banana, a bunch, another single banana, go through the goal and get the second bunch. You shouldn�t have to pay attention to getting the bananas, most of the time you�ll get all that are required.
