forward zigzag cycle practice

• lights out any% cycles/jaws of darkness god cycle (death abuse at the first checkpoint in lights out, and try to catch the best cycles you can in lights out and jaws). open area practice
• bridge levels
• jungle rollers straight path after the arrow+striped crate (clear the obstacles first)
• toxic waste (really good for improving on keeping your zigzag less "all over the place") left zigzag cycle practice
• great gate any% god cycle (death abuse at the checkpoint and beat all the cycles).
• native fortress end cycles (death abuse at the last checkpoint, and try to repeat the cycles seen in Koji's 40:27).
• slippery climb any% respawn jesus cycle (suboptimal but good for improving movement. die at the start of the level, don't do any spike jumps at the start, and beat all the cycles. the stairs at the end of the first floor require decent zigzag to make). open area practice
• beginning of native fortress
• extra life cache in castle machinery right zigzag cycle practice
• heavy machinery any% jesus cycle (death abuse after the checkpoint, do standard strats seen in Koji's 40:27 so you are set up to start zigzagging to the right in order to beat the 5 steam vents near the end before the platform that goes up)
• slippery climb 2nd floor any% god cycle (death abuse after the checkpoint open area practice
• beginning of native fortress
• extra life cache in castle machinery downward zigzag cycle practice
• boulder skip in boulder dash (after the 2nd checkpoint: outrun the boulder to the point where you can ride the purple gem to the secret area without having to wait for the boulder. note that this is easier on ntsc-j since the boulder is slower on that version).
• sunset vista any% god cycle from boulder dash death abuse (die at the first checkpoint, zigzag hard, and try to get cycles in sunset vista) open area practice
• boulders (more of an open level with no cycles to worry about. before the first checkpoint there aren't many obstacles in the way).
