The November 17, 2018 blind kaizo race was brought to you by Mega (Scott)! Originally cleared on March 30, 2019. Our good friend made a red coin level featuring the trusty boot. Now I know so many in the community are generous and label me as some kind of boot god, but I assure you I'm not actually that good. This simple level proves it.

First room of transporting the big boot with the tail is a trick I actually enjoy. The only problem is that I suck at flying with the raccoon Mario powerup.

Second room is the easiest. Demonstrating the momentum slide you can do as regular movement consists of "hopping" and your increased height during the hops will hit the spike ceiling.

Third room, wall climbing using the corners (spikes in this case). What's interesting is from the right side you can hold left and you will stay in the wall, but you cannot hold right from the left side as you will just fall. I assume this has to do with the weird and different hitboxes spikes have from each side. Weird room to get consistently.

Fourth room is about the ground pound (and also the dust cloud mechanic). Not too difficult.

Fifth room was more challenging. Timing the boot ditch to hit the pow and then fall back into the same boot takes some getting used to.

Sixth room is showcasing the additional "air time" you get from walking/hopping off the edge of a platform and still being able to do a jump seemingly in midair. I'm actually not entirely sure what the timing window is but I generally don't do it too late.

Last room survival munchers... this inspired me to make a full 500 second level of doing just this, but it has not yet been uploaded because I went crazy and added firebar dodging to the mix. Oh those Canadians and their typical level design...

20 minutes for this neat boot trick level.
