==== Clock Tower ====

Upon entering keep holding left and jump down to the lower platform, the skeleton will throw a bone in the air and you want to line up just slightly right of the center of the platform above your head. Jump up and damage boost to the platform:

Proceed up the stairs and hold right so that the lower skeleton throws a bone (or many depending on your luck) and jumps towards Simon. Once the skeleton starts his jump move to the left to set up for a damage boost jumping into him, there's a slower safe one:

After either boost jump and whip in the same movement to get the top skeleton or the candle right above Simon.

If you are using short whip you'll want to have this whip slightly later so that the whip upgrade falls, this allows you to keep short whip and not take the time loss of the upgrade but also since the whip will fall to the lower platform this means a big item is on the screen.

The middle candle in this platform is a knife which you do not want so if the whip upgrade is on screen no other big item can be on screen so if you accidentally whip that candle it will be just a small heart. The last candle on this platform is a big heart which you do want but once you get to that point the whip upgrade should be off screen and the big heart should fall.
There are two different directions the birds with the hunchbacks can spawn, from the left and from the right. If you get the spawns from the left it is best to jump down to the gear of the clock tower below, activating your stop watch in mid-air to cancel out the clunk and freeze the enemies allowing you to either grab the meat hidden in the wall to the right or proceed down the stairs. Note - there is a strategy to deal with the left spawn birds without using the stop watch but a guide needs to be added later.
