There are several places in an Any% run where you can skip cutscenes and chunks of a level by going into cool mode and then dropping out of cool mode after holding it for one phrase. There are 3 skips in stage 2 and stage 3 and 2 skips in stage 7. If all of the skips are done right, you can save a considerable amount of time.

Stage 2 (Romantic Love):

The first skip of stage 2 starts on the 4th line of lesson one. Go into cool mode starting on the “love turn” line and hold cool for one phrase before failing out of cool mode.

The second skip of stage 2 starts on the 4th line of lesson 2. Go into cool mode starting on the “let’s get it on” line and hold cool for one phrase before failing out of cool mode.

The final skip of stage 2 starts on the 4th line of lesson 3. Go into cool mode starting on the “won’t last forever” line and hold cool for one phrase before failing out of cool mode.

Stage 3 (BIG):

The first skip of stage 3 starts on the 2nd line of lesson 1. Go into cool mode starting on the “what’s that sound, who dat be huh?” line and hold cool for one phrase before failing out of cool mode.

The second skip of stage 3 starts on the 2nd line of lesson 2. Go into cool mode starting on the “better make it quick, hey hey look down” line and hold cool for one phrase before failing out of cool mode.

The final skip of stage 3 starts on the last line of lesson 3. Start getting cool on the “let’s not waste no time, here we go alright” line and then go into cool mode on the first line of lesson 4. After going into cool mode, keep it until the end of the stage. This is the only skip where you hold cool for more than one line.

Stage 7 (Noodles Can’t Be Beat):

The first skip of stage 7 starts on the 1st line of lesson 1. Go into cool mode starting on the “slurp it, suck it, I know you all like it” line and hold cool for one phrase before failing out of cool mode.

The final skip of lesson 7 starts on the last line of lesson 2. Start getting cool on the “As long as they got noodles, the king of all foods” line and then go into cool mode on the first line of lesson 3. After holding cool for one phrase, fail out of cool mode.
