*This route showcases a safe way to get through the stage without any extra boosts. It is intended for those who want to achieve sub 40 minutes.*The hands that spawn from the ground in the beginning of 2-1 are RNG dependent. To get rid of potential spawns you want to jump and throw a cross low enough to hit the hands when they spawn. The video above shows an example of spots that are good to do not this jump/low cross combo*At 1:10 the frogs in this section will always have different jump patterns and can either do small hops or long jumps forward. A well timed cross and potential backup whip as seen in the video can help to get rid of them quickly before they become a problem*At 1:20 In case you really need it there is a set patternbig wall meat for health refill hidden in the wall next right side of the candle on the bottom.*At 1:56 The water here works in both directions. You want to make sure to go with the flow to get the best momentum. In other words: Keep walking while the water goes right way and reduce Simon’s time on the ground while its going backwards (by jumping).</div></div>== Optimal Route ==
