General:
The basic strat for this level is very old, and it is pretty straightforward. It's a fun level, though. I like the fact that you can finish it faster than B1, if only by one frame. Since the stage is symmetrical, you can simply mirror all directions if you want.
I want a consistent finish!
Hold forward, then pull over to the left (before the banana�but you can pick it up too, it doesn't actually make things harder). Land safely on the left platform and roll into the left corner here. Turn around while standing, and face towards the center of the four platforms (the middle of the stage). Repeat what you did at the beginning, so hold forward, then pull over to the left and go into the goal.
I want a good score!
Just follow the record strat, anything above 5850 is good.
I want the record!
Boost right, then pull over to the left, pick up the banana and jump to the left EXACTLY at the corner of the platform. Hit the corner of the platform on the left and pull over to the right in that moment. You should bounce smoothly towards and into the goal, picking up the banana on the goal platform. If you go left before the corner at the beginning, you'll be slightly slower.
