LIGHTWEIGHT HOVERCRAFT NOTE: Lightweight characters are bad with the hovercraft. However, there are two ways to race better with the hovercraft as either Pipsy or Tiptup. #1, hopping and turning slightly with the R button will reduce speed loss. #2, depending on the walls, intentionally crashing into them can help on turning without losing speed.
----------
STATS NOTE: Those sites listing the stats for the characters are actually inaccurate, and even the instruction booklet is inaccurate on that. This is the actual stats for the characters, and they are accurate. Massive testing was done on the characters.

![Donkey Kong Country [GBA] SR - Mine Cart Carnage [101%]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/MGTW9YxXw4g/mqdefault.jpg "Donkey Kong Country [GBA] SR - Mine Cart Carnage [101%]
My 101% speedrun tutorial of Mine Cart Carnage in Donkey Kong Country for the Game Boy Advance.
Full 101% speedrun tutorial:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8H4noaCcU1jt8qUOmntIhw7aTkle8zE_
NOTE: This tutorial is not meant to be friendly. There might be a bit of safeness. But to get the fastest possible time, these tricks must be performed.
Picture over edge of 1st cliff:
Getting the picture along with taking the Warp Barrel is faster.
Level ending:
Finishing a level as Diddy is important. In fact, finishing a world as Diddy is important. In order to get a picture, a world (Monkey Mines) has to be finished by Diddy. Afterwards, that world has to be revisited to add 1% more to 101%.
K-O-N-G letters:
If it wasnt already obvious, the K-O-N-G letters are required to get 101%. So this level is revisited for the K-O-N-G letters.
Jumping rapidly on steep tracks:
Accelerating with the Mine Cart by going down on steep tracks is the objective here. While that normally makes sections fast, jumping rapidly on steep tracks with the Mine Cart is actually faster. Keeping the top speed is very hard, so mashing the jump button while going up on steep tracks is required. Even if the top speed isnt as great as it seems, its still faster. After getting the K-O-N-G letters, the Start+Select trick is done afterwards.
In order to get 101% in the Game Boy Advance version, every Bonus Room has to be found. Not only that, but every picture (as well as the K-O-N-G letters) has to be collected.")
![Mega Man 2 [FC] - Flash Man Stage Boss](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/MVnV3PB8Z84/mqdefault.jpg "Mega Man 2 [FC] - Flash Man Stage Boss
A guide/walkthrough of the battle against Flash Man in Mega Man 2 for the Famicom.
No damage taken.
This battle can prove to be a problem, mainly due to Flash Mans seemingly random Time Stopper. However, there is a way around it.
Flash Man jumps every time hes hit, and that can throw off the timing of his Time Stopper. The best strategy is to always have his Time Stopper activate when hes standing on the lower grounds at the left and Mega Man on the highest ground at the middle. After that, its just the matter of when to fire at Flash Man and getting the timing down on his Time Stopper.
Ice physics are present, so be mindful of that.")

NOTE: This tutorial is not meant to be friendly. There might be a bit of safeness. But to get the fastest possible time, these tricks must be performed.
Letter O approaching:
The screen-scrolling trick is done to delay the spawning of the moving platform. This is to get the letter O and get on the moving platform safely. To follow it up, cartwheel off of that same moving platform and jump over the flaming Oil Drum.
After letter O:
The screen-scrolling trick is done to delay the spawning of the moving platform. After that, be sure to cartwheel first before jumping. Otherwise, touching the flaming Oil Drum is very likely.
After Bonus Room #1:
The screen-scrolling trick is done to delay the spawning of that Krusha. Otherwise, jumping over Krusha without stopping is pretty much pixel perfect.
Letter N approaching:
Running off of the moving platform and air-jumping after getting the letter N is actually faster.
Bonus Room #2 approaching:
If done fast enough, its actually possible to go under that Mincer.
In order to get 101% in the Game Boy Advance version, every Bonus Room has to be found. Not only that, but every picture (as well as the K-O-N-G letters) has to be collected.")

NOTE: This tutorial is not meant to be friendly. There might be a bit of safeness. But to get the fastest possible time, these tricks must be performed.
After Bonus Room #1:
In the GBA version, after coming out of a certain Bonus Room, there is a way to move even faster for a second or two. Just hold Right on the D-Pad without holding the B button. With this trick, it can make that section faster.
Last section:
The last section can be tricky. But with practice, its possible to go without slowing down.
Level ending:
Finishing a level as Donkey is important. In fact, finishing a world as Donkey is important. In order to get a picture, a world (Kongo Jungle) has to be finished by Donkey. Afterwards, that world has to be revisited to add 1% more to 101%.
In order to get 101% in the Game Boy Advance version, every Bonus Room has to be found. Not only that, but every picture (as well as the K-O-N-G letters) has to be collected.")

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8H4noaCcU1jt8qUOmntIhw7aTkle8zE_
NOTE: This tutorial is not meant to be friendly. There might be a bit of safeness. But to get the fastest possible time, these tricks must be performed.
Bonus Room #1 skipping:
Skipping Bonus Room #1 is faster because it sets up for revisiting the level in order to do the Start+Select trick, thus skipping the waiting game.
Single rope-jumping:
Single rope-jumping is the hardest trick in the game, at least in the GBA version. In the SFC version, while its possible to do the single rope-jumping trick, its pretty much a TAS-only trick. Single rope-jumping is faster than climbing. This trick will likely be done in this level.
After Bonus Area #2:
Approaching that Army without stopping is very annoying. Its best to take it slow.
Star Barrel:
Touch the Star Barrel. Itll show why as the level goes on.
Letter O approaching:
Its possible to one-cycle that Kritter and grab the rope, but its extremely risky. Also, in a normal 101% speedrun, this level is the best time to get the Enguarde Token.
Enguarde Bonus:
Collecting 400 tokens in order to get a picture is required to get 101%.
Back to Star Barrel:
See why the Star Barrel was touched? Because after the Token Bonus, it sends the player back to the checkpoint. Otherwise, it would send the player back to the beginning of the level. Thankfully, the checkpoint isnt that far back.
Bonus Room #3 approaching:
The rope-jumping physics are different from the SFC version. Its easy to go up high while rope-jumping, so be very careful not to get hit by one of those wasps.
Letter G approaching:
If the rope-jumping is good enough, the letter G can be collected very fast.
Bonus Room #1:
The level is revisited to enter Bonus Room #1 and do the Start+Select trick, thus skipping the waiting game.
In order to get 101% in the Game Boy Advance version, every Bonus Room has to be found. Not only that, but every picture (as well as the K-O-N-G letters) has to be collected.")
