ADVANCED 30
General:
This level looked so hard to me when I first played it. Those small platforms, the bumpers, terrible. It turns out this level is extremely easy, both for a consistent finish and a good score.
I want a consistent finish!
Do NOT attempt to do this level slowly. Hold up-right as you start, then move to the left and straighten out, to the right of the bumper and directly into the goal. My best finish I can remember is 28.65.
I want a good score!
The strat for this was discovered very early and used to be the record strat for a long time. My best with this strat is 7460, a good score is anything above 7420. Hold forward as you start, then move left, to the right of the bumper and directly towards the banana bunch. Pick up the bunch. Here you need to pull back (or you just don't hop over the platforms at full speed, you'll see, it's easy) and get on the platform directly before the bunch (the one that moves counter-clockwise). Stay on this fast-moving platform and pick up the remaining two bunches as you pass. When you are next to the goal, roll in.
I want the record!
Follow the good score strat until you reach the third bunch. You should stay close to the front of the moving platform all the time, about one square before the front end. As you pick up the third bunch, roll forward and to the left. Now you have the choice between two strats:
Choice A: Hit the front edge of the platform that contains the bumper, bounce left of the bumper, pull over to the right and jump into the goal. My best with this strat is 7550.
Choice B: Move at high speed to the left of the bumper and hit another bumper behind the first one. This will hit you over to the right and into the goal. My best with this strat is 7576.
