 * There is a good opportunity for attempting a speed manipulation after jumping down from the highest point. If the speed is successfully manipulated to 75, the time-save is around 20 frames (for a cost of 1 frame for trying).
 * Some of the laggiest sections in the game are in this stage. The route shown in the video attempts to reduce lag as much as possible, but several seconds are still lost to lag.

 * The first raccoon is defeated to reduce lag.
 * The boss requires a different setup than in previous stages. It moves so fast that continuous buffered jumps will be risky. Besides, even if you defeat it as early as possible, it will still have to return to the far right of the starting platform. The best strategy therefore seems to be to scroll the screen far enough so the last volley will hit the boss when it's close to the final position. How far to scroll the screen will be a bit individual, so each player will have to test what works best for them.

 * Keeping the skateboard until the end of the level? The method can be seen in any TAS. It involves 6 precise button press changes. They can be broken down into two 1-frame, two 2-frame, one 5-frame and one 8-frame tricks (give or take a frame since not all combinations have been investigated). Since you anyways have to lose the skateboard so early in 7-3 (to collect the key), the overall time gain is only about one second.
-* The following video shows a way to get an early skateboard, https://www.youtube.com/edit?o=U&video_id=8lRAUMqoTdg . It saves half a second, but is also quite risky.

 * The section skip is explained in [[Hudson%27s_adventure_Island/Game_Mechanics#Section_skips_with_bonus_levels|section skips]]. Just keep in mind that there is a platform in section 2 that will also take you to the bonus stage. You need to jump over that one or else the second platform leading to the bonus stage won't be activated.
 * The timer is reset to 10 (big timer) when entering and exiting bonus stages, so the fruit collected in this stage doesn't matter.
-* The following video shows a faster setup for taking the bonus platform, https://www.youtube.com/edit?o=U&video_id=0wwpLaVvzjI . It's 15-20 frames faster than dropping down on it, but requires a 3-frame jump and then releasing the D-pad at the right moment to get the default skate speed. Releasing the D-pad has a fairly large time window though (aim for when your vertical position is roughly between the two platforms).

 * The last platform section requires good timing. The jump to the first platform isn't precise, but the earlier you jump, the longer you will have to ride it before jumping again, which is a small time loss since it moves to the left. The jump from the first to the second platform is always a 2-frame jump. A much safer way to pass it is to brake before jumping onto the first platform. It will cost a little over a second though.

 * Just like in 1-2, it's possible to skip another fruit in section 3 (on the cloud). Collecting the fruit is safer though and the reason it's shown here.
 * The shot before jumping onto the first cloud platform in section 4 was to make the following jumps easier. If you go with full speed, it's easy to either collect the banana or jump too far.

 * The last fruit that was skipped in the first cloud platform section required a 1-frame jump.

 * Note how there is a speed manipulation on foot early on. The speed can't be reliably manipulated on foot (other than to get 73), so there is a factor of randomness involved. But the general rule is to release B and shoot slightly before you land and hope that Higgins lands on a speed that will lead to 74 or 75.
 * If the speed is successfully manipulated to 75 above, the time-save is around 10 frames.

+* Whether the last carrot is collected or not depends on the x-position. In theory, you should be able to avoid it 2/3 times (to look into this in more detail, [[Hudson%27s_adventure_Island/Game_Mechanics#x-position|x-position]] will be useful). Considering how all your actions until this point contribute to your x-position, it's difficult to see how it would be possible to manipulate the odds.
