4-1: Nothing fancy. Just keep jumping and run down slopes as much as possible, as they speed you up.

4-2: In normal speedruns, you can jump up to the warp barrel by jumping up the rope off-screen with Diddy. I realized here that you can't actually do that without using Y, casual strats it is instead... Each time Donkey is used, he obviously has to be sacrificed again.

4-3: Luckily, Expresso can get full running speed without using Y, making this level practically the same as without Y.

4-4: Croctopus Chase SUCKS.

4-5: This level can't normally be beaten without the use of Y. The platform before the N letter can only be reached if you take damage on the platform before, in order to make it through the mincers and then there is no way to land on the moving platform.

Thankfully, there is a way around this: Superjump! When Donkey/Diddy runs away after getting hit, he might run into a wall and then make a leap straight up and out of the screen. Get back the Kong, take damage again, land on an enemy (Or a box in this case) and hold B. You'll now fly upwards for as long as you hold B and can fly over all obstacles to the end of the level, thus skipping the need to use Y at the platforms.

4-6: Entering the bonus to obtain the Power of Speed. Dodging all the bees while jumping on the tires can be annoying however, worked out alright in the end.

4-Boss: Oh no, I got Donkey Kong back =(. Better kill him while you can (Which also skips the last phase of high jumps from the Really Gnawty).

This is a Tool Assisted recording. Meaning it was recorded using an emulator with slow motion, save states and rerecording.
