!5f!5fsdfg: /* 2-2 */ Removed the platform skip section from 2-2 since I'm not convinced skipping the platform is necessarily the fastest strategy and it hardly saves any time over the easiest strategy

+You can buffer a jump off the flag in front of the wooden door and jump straight over the door at full speed.  This is the fastest way past that door.

		+	Normally, you land on a bottle of poison and have to pick up an antidote before starting the steeplechase game. However, you can jump over the poison and then skip the antidote.
		+
		+	To do this, stop on the yellow step next to the poison instead of running down the steps. Position Whizz on the right side of the step, hanging off the edge. Then, jump to the left so you push around the corner. If you set up the jump right, Whizz will pass over the poison while in midair and land on the left of it. From there, you can get on the horse.

 Near the end of the level, you must activate a moving platform with a yellow button and then ride the platform to the next section of the stage.  Because the platform starts rising as soon as you hit the button and it is some distance away, you normally have to wait for the platform to rise all the way to the top and then fall before getting on.  However, it is possible to get on the platform while it is first rising and skip a cycle.

+In the middle of the level, there is a cliff with three platforms that go in and out of the face.  The bottom platform recedes as you approach it and appears to be too far into the cliff for you to climb up until the second cycle.  Since Whizz can stand on a tiny sliver of platform, however, it is possible to jump off it and get up to the top on the first cycle.

-If you spin and then fall into a lake while still spinning, the game stops your spin animation, but forgets to reset your spin state.  So, subsequently, you can attack enemies and break open doors simply by running into them.  The effect ends if you use your spin attack manually.

+Since world 2 is the only world with lakes, it's the only place where you can use this trick.  In the current any% route, it is used to make part of 2-1 a little easier, but it otherwise isn't useful since 2-1 is the only stage where you normally fall into a lake.

 === Button Jump ===
-TODO
+Near the beginning of the stage, you have to jump onto a button to unstack some platforms that you need to climb.  If you jump onto the button from the correct position, you can land directly on the button instead of on the step in front of it.  You want to jump from just past the little crack in the ground before the steps.  If you're too early, you'll run into the side of the button; if you're too late, you'll run into the side of one of the steps and lose height.  When running at full speed, there is a 4-frame window for the jump.
