Sup y'all. I was messing with this game and I found a skip that looks to save like 15-20 seconds in a speedrun.
Basically what you need to do is start doing a walking jump (right for a bit, Right + B ), swap to Meeko towards the start of the jump and wait for Pocahontas to land, then swap again and hold Right+B. If you do it right Pocahontas will land on the other side without falling.
The important thing to note is to make sure Meeko is out of range when you swap, as what's happening is the game is deloading the log but still allowing Pocahontas to jump onto it without falling off.
I've been getting it every time with this setup, and I'm pretty sure this could lead to further skips in the future. Just thought I'd share, cheers!
This is great!
There's a bunch of other skips I found but my run is still pending approval.
Thank you for the find, I'll definitely try it out on my next runs.
Cheers!
Ah really? Would you mind documenting them, we can make this thread a general trick discovery thing, considering the lack of resources available currently.
Just so it doesn't look like we didn't talk haha.
Yeah, I plan on doing a few practice runs while explaining each of the tricks and skips I know.
Just didn't do so during my last runs because I just couldn't concentrate on playing and talking at the same time.
I'm absent from racing for a few reasons, but I intend to come back soon because I'm finally excited again. If anyone has any questions, please contact me (preferably via Discord), I will respond as soon as possible. Happy racing everyone!
