- If you collect too much fruit, there is another banana that can avoided without time loss. It's in the section 3, with the totems. It requires a fairly precise jump though.
- Right at the end with the moving platforms, a shot is fired to intentionally slow down to 80. This increases the time window for jumping onto the second platform from 2 to 4 frames. It costs 4 frames though.

- The speed is intentionally slowed down to 80 in section 3 in order to skip another fruit (on the cloud). This saves overall ~10 frames, but also requires precise timing for the first jump. It's not possible to skip this fruit with speed 82. The alternative, which is safer, is shown in the video for 3-3.
- Jumping over the bonus pot saves ~20 frames, but is a 1-frame jump.

- The last fruit that was skipped in the first cloud platform section required a 1-frame jump.
- It's worth trying for a speed manipulation on foot at the second whaler in section 4.

- The section skip is explained in section skips.
- The timer is reset to 10 (big timer) when entering and exiting bonus stages, so the fruit collected in this stage doesn't matter.

- As can be seen in the video, the timer will be very close to running out if everything works out perfectly. However, there are a few fruits that are difficult to avoid, so this situation is not so common.
- The exact strategy for the boss depends what you prefer. Some players have developed a rhythm for shooting up to 4 shots per jump. This requires almost point blank distance. The setup shown here only allows for 2 shots with the first jump. One advantage of starting this far away is that you can use more or less the same strat on all bosses (except the last). You'll also be able to buffer jumps and continuously shoot until the boss has launched the first fireball without having to think about dodging. Bosses 6 and 7 are likely to shoot a second fireball though, which needs to be dodged. Another advantage of starting far away is of course that the screen will be scrolled as little as possible.

- It doesn't appear to be possible in real-time to not max out the timer near the end, so fruits are not taken into account in the route.

- The part with the two raccoons tends to create a lot of lag. The solution shown here attempts to reduce lag as much as possible.

- 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 part with the two raccoons is very laggy. The solution shown here attempts to reduce lag as much as possible.

- Whether the last carrot is collected or not appears to depend on the sub-pixel. It's not known if this can manipulated.

- The last platform section requires good timing. A much safer way to pass that section is to brake before jumping onto the first platform. It will cost a little over a second though.

- It's not necessary to collect the milk bottle, but in practice not picking it up introduces a risk of not knowing exactly when the egg plant expires (and the timer running out).

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.
