From SDA Knowledge Base
| Character | Speed | Jump Height | Comments |
| Burns | Good | Best | Burns jump height is high enough to jump over two crates. It's useful in stage 3 and he's only slightly slower than Beans so he's useful |
| Smith | Okay | Okay | Not used for speedrunning |
| Iron | Poor | Poor | Iron can equip the flamethrower which is the best weapon in the game and essential for beating the stage 3 boss quickly |
| Beans | Best | Good | Beans has the best movement speed and a good jump height, he's used whenever possible |
