ADVANCED EXTRA 1
General:
What an excellent stage! I hated it when I first played it, but I loved it fom when I started going for fast times. This stage has a very cool (though obvious) shortcut, it�s easy to get good scores, and it�s fun to go for the WR. Normal mode is cake too if you know what to do.
I want a consistent finish!
Hold forward at the beginning, pull over to the right a bit before the first gap, jump over and land on the platform after the gap. Roll right, go around the corner to the right and roll all the way back, to the back-right corner of the level. Turn around, go full speed forward and pull over to the left before the gap. You should jump pretty far and land one platform to the left of the rightmost platform (it�s all one platform, but you know what I mean). From here on just go along the platform until you get into the goal, time is absolutely no problem.
I want a good score!
You should not accept anything less that 11300, which is a cake score. When you do the shortcut, you will often get bad bounces (where you get hit up rather high), those will only give you around 11200. Follow the WR strat.
I want the record!
First a note on the layout of this stage: When you look in a straight line from the start to the goal, there are 6 platforms that go horizantally (the first and last are only half). There are 3 before the big gap and 3 after the gap. Boost right, go left, then right again. Hit the edge of the first platform, but you want to jump only very slightly. You need to hit the edge very close to the corner. If done properly, you�ll bounce up slightly, land on the far side of the 2nd platform, bounce up from the near edge of the 3rd, over the gap, land on the 5th platform, go over the gap without bouncing, get the banana and into the goal. When you get this kind of bounce, you will most likely get a score around 11380. For the WR, the bounce over the big gap is very low, so I land at the near end of the 5th platform.
