General:
E27 is very interesting strat-wise. As there are 5 bunches on the right
side, it is obvious you
have to take that path. At first, the strat was to go full speed to the
right, get 1 bunch, then the
3 at the end, then finish in less than 5 seconds. This is the first of
the
�good score� strats. Then
FerretDruid got the first bunch, turned around, got the second, turned
around again, got the 3
remaining bunches and finished in about 8-9 seconds, which gave him a
score
about 200 points
better than the previous record. This is the second "good score" strat.
Well
then, what about
the WR strat? You�ll have to read on to find out the secret...
I want a consistent finish!
It is tempting to go to the right side because of all those bananas,
but I
wouldn�t do it anyway.
The problem is that the platforms on the right have stupid shape which
makes
it much more
difficult to go diagonally. Go left, and do everything diagonally. If
you
are good at turning while
standing, this is no problem. If not, then practice.

15000 is your goal, depending on your skill you can use one of the
following
two strats (or, if you
feel you�re skilled/lucky enough, the WR strat).
Strat 1: Boost right, go down the right side at full speed, pick up the
right bunch and try to jump
as little as possible. You�ll have to experiment a bit to see how you
can
get over nicely, but it�s
not very hard. Get the 3 bunches at the end, turn around and jump
straight
into the goal. I had
15072 with that strat, I don�t know what the best was, but probably
under
15100.
Strat 2: Boost right, hit the left side of the thin path (you want to
be
rather slow when you pick
up the right bunch), get the right bunch, move forward a bit, turn
around to
the left, get the
other bunch, turn around again and make your way to the end (go fast,
if you
try to do it safely
you�ll be too slow). Get the 3 bunches, turn, finish. I only did this
once
(because I came up with
the WR strat after that) and got 15282.
I want the record!
I�ll call it Strat 3. Yay, this is fun, at least for me. Boost LEFT,
jump
over the first gap (that is, the
gap to the right of where the normal path starts, look at the pic), go
right, hit a corner opposite
of the two bunches, get both bunches in one nice bounce (you�ll
probably
land at the first bunch
and then bounce over to the second), then hopefully you�ll get hit to
the
left, go over fast, 3
bunches, finish. One of the most important things to know is which
corner
you need to hit to get
the 2 bunches as fast as possible. It is not that corner directly
opposite
of the 2 bunches (the
one closest to them), but actually the corner before. See the pic for
details. Also, the record is
still somewhat far from maxed. I have had 2 perfect bounces (the kind
that
would give you over
15800), but I haven�t been able to complete either of the runs. A
perfect
bounce will hit you to
the right low and at high speed, and then the platform the far bunch is
on
hits you to the left at
high speed.
