 ==Minecart Mayhem==
 The key to Minecart Mayhem is that the minecarts in a given game will always do the same thing as long as you do the same thing. This means that all you need to do is memorize a strategy and it will work 100% of the time if you do it correctly. There are many such strategies for each game. The same strategy may not work in two different games, though (i.e. a strategy for the Creepy Castle game may not work in the Fungi Forest game, even though they're both two-cart games).

 You don't need to wait for the turtles to ask for help to feed them. Just go in a circle feeding them.

 ==Big Bug Bash==
 The key to winning Big Bug Bash is to recognize that the hit detection with the fly swatter is not that good. If you try to hit it with the bottom of the fly swatter the fly will most likely glitch through the swatter and not get smashed. Therefore you should attempt to hit with the top half of the swatter. If you aim a little to low the game will still give you credit for smashing the fly in many cases. If you have no choice but to swing at a fly with the bottom of the swatter you should drag the swatter down while striking.

 It's possible to get the two carts in the same position so that they basically function as one cart, but this isn't necessary. The best way to do the two-cart games is just to memorize a strategy for each one. Strategies for both games are shown [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFHD0r3g_ds here]. Here are the moves corresponding to those videos:
