General:
The strange thing about this stage is that the shortcut needed for the
WR is
pretty tough to pull
off, yet it will only give you an additional 100 or so points.
FerretDruid
came up with this strat.
I want a consistent finish!
There are 4 moving platforms, the last of them contains the goal. Take
one
platform at a time,
then wait again until they converge. When you go onto the goal
platform, go
into the goal from
the left, that is a bit safer than going in from the right.
I want a good score!
Immediately roll onto the second platform at the start, picking up the
banana here. Wait until the
platforms converge, pick up the banana, onto the goal platform (another
banana here) and into
the goal from the left side. If you finish with more than 23 seconds
remaining, you�ll have a
good score of 4900.
I want the record!
The difference to the good score strat is that you get onto the third
platform immediately, and
this saves about 1 second. You miss one banana though, so you�ll only
be
about 100 points
better. Boost right (you will jump), then pull over to the left. If you
have
boosted too far, you will
ride the edge of the first platform and fall of to the right. If you
didn�t
boost far enough, you will
land cleanly on the platform and get too far to the left. Optimally,
you
will ride the right edge for
a short bit and then move over to the left. Hit the edge of the second
platform close to where it
intersects with the first one, this will bounce you up and to the left.
Now
pull over to the right in
mid-air, bounce once on the second platform, barely pick up the banana
here
on the right and hit
the edge of the third platform, then land on it. About 40% of the time
when
you get onto the
third platform you will miss the single banana, that can be annoying.
Wait
until the platforms
converge and finish like you do for a good score.
