Safe Route
Notes
- 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 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 big 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).
Optimal Route
Notes
- It is important to note that your hearts will carry over into stage 3 and should always leave with 1 heart.
