General:
The current WR is very old (from Packattack�s first tape), but it�s close to maxed, at least with this strat. This is one of the levels that can be frustrating because of the banana after the goal (though nowhere as terrible as E34). I�ve finished faster a couple of times, but without the banana.

I want a consistent finish!
There are 4 moving platforms. Go to the right and a bit up the first platform (which moves to the right). As it goes down again, move onto the second platform, which is now moving up to the right. Repeat this process of staying on the right side all the time and finish low 20.

I want a good score!
A good score should be at least 5550. Though the "strat" for a standard high 25 finish with 4 bananas might be slightly different from the WR strat, you often get those finishes when you try for the WR. In fact, you get 5600s rather often too. Therefore I suggest you try for the record and stop playing as soon as you�re satisfied with your score.

I want the record!
There are different ways to do the beginning. Packattack starts off a bit different on his vid, but I�ll describe how I do it. Boost right (naturally), but only slightly, about 3 tiles to the right. Go left, then right, get the banana, left, then hold up-right, get the banana and hit the edge of the 3rd moving platform about 2 tiles away from the corner (you can�t control the exact spot anyway). All those left and right movements at the start are pretty slight, only a couple of tiles wide. Ideally - and this will fail often - you�ll fly up and forward, then hold up-left, bounce off the 3rd platform very close to the far corner, hit the edge of the 4th platform. Exactly in the same moment you will pick up a banana and hopefully get hit straight ahead into the goal, getting the post-goal banana.

Current Record: 5642
