HiddenPower13 | Super Mario Sunshine - Corona boat crash backup @HiddenPower13 | Uploaded September 2014 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
The stone block in the middle of Corona is the cause of many crashed speedboats (and sometimes just normal boats too). With this backup, you "only" lose 10 seconds if you execute it like shown here. The most important thing is when you start hovering during your spinjump. Do it when you are on the same height level as the "corner" of the stalagmite you're hovering to. A little note: You absolutely need the increased speed after the dive to make it to the next stalagmite. If you don't get the speed boost, hover backwards and try again. If you don't get it after the 2nd retry, you're going to have to hover in front and try to backhover to safety because at that point you just don't have enough speed / height to get the speed boost.
With a little practise, it's actually very doable.
