General:
E21 is one of the most hated stages on Normal Mode, and I think all of
us
have had huge problems when we first
encountered this stage. However, practice makes perfect, and while you
will
still fall out occasionally, it won�t be a
big problem to pass this stage. The record strat is rather
straightforward,
since the are 2 bunches behind the goal,
which you obviously need to get.
I want a consistent finish!
The main idea is to do this fast. Hold forward (but don�t boost), as
you
reach the thin platform move slighly to the
left, then slightly to the right, and then you�re in the goal. There is
nothing more to say, just practice a lot.
I want a good score!
This is easy, and you should get at least 13600. Follow the WR strat.
I want the record!
One thing you might not know is that you need to get 8 single bananas
instead of the 7 you usually get when you
play this on Normal Mode. The one banana you are likely to miss is the
2nd
one. In order to get it, you must move
all the way to the left when you reach the thin platform. Get the 8
bananas,
before the goal reduce speed a bit,
pull over to the left of the goal (don�t jump at the edge, that will
cost
time), get the first bunch, turn, barely get the
second bunch and finish. The only problem is getting the second bunch,
I�ve
"beaten" the record a million times
when I barely missed the second bunch, and I�ve had at least 50
finishes in
the 54.30s when i got both bunches.
Current WR: 13686
Finish: 54.43
Bananas: 28
