Notes:
- Getting hit as you release the DK barrel is faster than sacrificing Donkey afterwards or swapping separately.
- Release the barrel as close to the Gnawty as possible. Ideally, you get hit and kill the Kremling on the same frame. But it is easy to die with this method, so generally you aim for a moment earlier.
- If the barrel kills the Gnawty instead of the Kremling, you let go too early.

Notes:
- 2 frame window. Much more difficult than wall clip, since you have to adjust during the swing to get the correct angle.
