So, after struggling for 10+ hours to get a top 10 run on Booty Calls, I get one here after 10 minutes, excluding time spent learning Dingodile's part. That run had mistakes that cost me several seconds, so I was really surprised to see my position on the leaderboard, as I didn't even think I'd make the top 100. It was obvious my goal had to be sub-10, and after a few more troublesome hours, I finally made it and somehow ended up in second place on the leaderboard. Wow.

Seriously, I don't get it. This is a really short and not very hard level. There are some trouble spots, like spinning that first enemy on Coco's part into the three second crate above. Then there's the first fire box, which will kill most runs if it's on when I get there, as the following enemies can be really hard to get through without taking damage. The second mask is easy to miss, and then you've got some more fire boxes at the bottom that you simply can't take damage on if you've only got one mask left, as you need it at the end. So yeah, there are trouble spots, but most of it comes down to luck, as navigating the level isn't very hard after some practice. I'm not even entirely satisfied with this run, as I had sub-10 splits at the end of Dingodile's part and that bit after the first raft was a mess. I can definitely get this down to 8.XX, but that's a project for another time.
