Optimal Route
8-1 Top and Bottom Route
Notes:
- It is important to note that the stage will start with the first crusher in different positions. Top route will be determined if the crusher is at the bottom and allows you to jump immediately on to it. And bottom route will be determined if you have to wait for the crusher to jump on.
- You need to take these damage routes depending on if you go under or over the first crushers to make it to the eyeball boost in time.
- You need to have sufficient health for all the boosts on 8-2.
- Top route, there is also room for a bat boost on the falling brick bridge just before 8-2 if you want to optimize it even more.
- Bottom route is planned for you to take the stair jump on 8-2 if you're doing all the boosts on 8-2. If you don't want to go for stair jump you could either take the wall meat on 8-1 (the one you go for in top route) or you could skip the wall skeleton boost on 8-2 by cross whipping it to not lose any time other than the time gained by the boost.
8-1 Eyeball Boost over Crusher
8-1 1F Bone Crusher Strat
Notes:
- On the second screen of 8-1 (after the stairs) there is a crusher you can skip by performing a 1F Jump. You can see in the video above a good way to perform this trick.
Alternative Strats
Hanage Route
Notes: This route showcases some varying differences.
8-1 Easier 1f Jump Set-Up
8-1 Alternative Strategy to get past Bone Pillar
Notes:
- Make sure you start the jump at this spot. You have a view pixel to make it but try to make a good cue.
- Jump and whip down (or limp whip). The whip and jump are almost together. You try to stun the eyeball in front of you so you have enough frames to get through the second crusher.
- You almost walk of the edge before the crusher. Jump late. If you jump early you will jump into the hitbox of the crusher again.
8-2 Stair boost
Notes:
- Press B then Y very quickly while holding right + down.
- It saves around 25-30 frames (.4 to .5 sec), for the cost of 2 hp.
- It can also be used to get past the crushers early without doing the stair jump (it is about as fast but costs hp).
