#Intro Note that we have a finite number of lives. You start with 5 lives, and 5 continues that grant 5 more lives each, for a total of 30. Following this guide, you will collect 4 extra lives (1 in School, Jungle 2, Volcano, and Station), bringing the total to 34, but you will also spend 14 on dying deliberately for deathwarps (2 in School, 2 in Village, 2 in Shrine, 1 in Jungle 1, 2 in Den, 1 in Jungle 2, 3 in Volcano, and 1 in Station), so you only have 20 to spend on accidental deaths.

If you run out, you will be sent back to the main menu, and must restart the current level. You shouldn’t ever have to do this, but if you’re down to only 1 or 2 lives at the start of a level, it may be wise to deliberately waste them, then go start the level properly with 30 lives again. Buccaneer’s Den is a good level to load to die quickly near the start for this purpose. As you get better at the run, this will become less of an issue.

Note that there is a glitch that occurs sometimes when you die with 1 life. Instead of spending a continue and respawning with 5 lives, you will instead just respawn with 0. While in this state with 0 lives, you will be unable to pick up invention parts or NavChips. If this occurs to you, die again. It seems to fix the problem. We don't yet know what causes this.

Before starting your run, turn up the brightness of your monitor/television a little higher than usual so you can see in the dark areas like Village, Shrine, and Volcano

#Start of run Start new game (Slot A file 1 is a little faster since we will have to reload the save soon) Time starts upon pressing A on the autosave warning SKIP (opening cutscene) (press the action button to skip cutscenes. Be careful when skipping cutscenes that occur after winning minigames that you do not accidentally start that minigame again)

#Lindbergh School: SKIP (starting level) Stand near single crate on left side of room then move c stick until ding sound Jump on the crate AFTER Goddard points at it (ding sound) Climb ladder, shimmy over, then pull up for Tool 1 Once the game finishes auto-saving, go to main menu then reload save to skip rest of tutorial

Follow path to Invention 5 (As soon as you get the part, take a big jump forward straight to the rock near the shore, then onto the flying board. Ideally the invention 5 cutscene triggers while you are on it and the board will carry you across by the time you skip it) SKIP (invention 5) Out big door, right, left, right, then upstairs to exit SKIP (level end) (confirm on level select)

#Ultra-Lord Dojo As soon as you start, there will be two Ultra Lords to the right side of the statue. Magnet the left one, then rush straight past it to the stairs As soon as you pass the second landing, try to magnet under the Ultra Lord Sheen threw to hit Sheen, then quickly do another Magnet to reflect that Ultra Lord. Flurp near second landing if you need it

Jump up and down when trying to reflect to Ultra Lords while on the stairs As soon as you get to the elevator rooms break all the light boxes Once Sheen leaves, pull all three switches counterclockwise from the stairs Deal with the three Ultra Lords from the right elevator, then the left, then quickly get on the elevator You don’t have to wait for him to land in the bedroom to hit him

Climb up ladder, then jump around mast counterclockwise instead of using the ropes Get Invention 1 at the top Zipline to ship 2, then drop early straight onto the central silo, then go get Tool 2 (If you only have 1 hp, the drop would kill you, so you'll have to ride the zipline to the end, jump down one step, then jump to the central area for Tool 2. You'll trigger some Jet dialogue, and thus will not be able to start the bird minigame until he stops talking. Might be advisable to get NavChip 2 before the bird minigame in that case) Trigger the Flurp machine on the right side of the ship on the way to the front, and get the pirate on the nearest turret to get off so he doesn't shoot you later

SKIP (approaching pirate at front of ship 2) Invention 2 from bird minigame (You should be able to beat this minigame without any extra batteries) SKIP (winning bird minigame) Jump off the right side of the ship, cross then floating platforms for NavChip 2, then die Ride flying boards to second dock, then jump in the left boat

SKIP (invention 5) Ski back to mainland SKIP (approach gum switch) Exit level SKIP (level end) (left x2 then confirm on level select)

From here onwards, this guide will refer to bubble falls, which are activating the bubble while midair, for more hangtime, a slower decent speed, and no falling damage. It will also refer to bubble jumps, which means starting in the bubble, gaining some momentum, then jumping while still in the bubble.

#Lost Jungle 2 Bubble into the grove left of the start and bubble jump onto the car for Tool 1 SKIP (Gust Buster Fan once Jet stops talking about Venus fly traps) Bubble all the way to the raft minigame, then use the warp cave to get past it SKIP (approaching wind lever) SKIP (approaching first pool)

#Volcano of Doom NavChip 1 in pipe cage near entrance NavChip 2 at end of steam tunnel on low path Jump from rocky wall then bubble fall to get on maze walls, then jump across to skip maze Take left path in ice room for Invention 1 (bubble falls can help with jumping across ice pillars)

NavChip 3 on lone ice pillar in ice room, then die Follow path to dragon cliff SKIP (approaching dragon cliff and Jet stops talking) Invention 2 from dragons (try to avoid killing dragons when Goddard is near the bottom left and coming back up, as if a dragon spawns in the top-right cave shortly after, you will lose as it and Goddard will intersect it before you've had a chance to kill it) SKIP (winning dragon cliff)

Jump from boulder and bubble fall across lava stream for Invention 3 Climb up the cliff to piranha plant Bubble fall down to NavChip 4 SKIP (approach roller coaster) Take the right track during the roller coaster (jump, duck, right, jump, duck, jump, jump, jump)

Go across flying boards right of next Flurp for NavChip 5, fall right for extra life, then die Move along three conveyers to next solid ground Turn right towards dark path, bubble forward for about a second then jump the gap (If you had turned up the brightness earlier, you should be able to just see the path here, otherwise wait for Goddard's light to catch up before continuing) Shimmy across railing (or bubble jump instead if you're feeling risky) to Invention 5, then die

SKIP (Invention 5) Cross conveyers to the start of the dark path again Bubble jump straight ahead, then curve left a bit to land on the Ultra-Ninja-Lord platform SKIP (idol placement) Exit level

SKIP (level end) (confirm on level select)

#Crater of Fire Start with wind turbine clockwise of Flurp machine When pushing Ms. Fowl into the water, do it from as far away as possible so that instead of using her stomp attack, which would interrupt you from pushing her further, she will use her fireball attack, which you can just shield against and continue pushing Activate counterclockwise-from-Flurp-machine wind turbine after she shoots you the second time Activate across-from-Flurp-machine wind turbine just before the fourth time she shoots you SKIP (level end) (right then confirm on level select)

SKIP (approach main complex) Go through broken fence around back-right of laser cage near entrance for NavChip 2 Climb up to the first zipline, then jump and bubble fall straight to NavChip 3 Climb to the platform below the tool part, jump towards the end of the next zipline, then bubble fall at the height of your jump (might be worth taking a moment to line your camera up first) Climb up to the last zipline, then bubble jump straight to Tool 1

SKIP (approach security floors) (You can jump and bubble fall to skip over a square in the security floors) Tool 2 after first security floor Magnet switch on right after second security floor (if you screw up on the second security floor after getting the tool part, use the light panel to reset, roll to the cliff just outside the right fence, then jump and bubble fall over the fence)

Jump around the right elevator, then bubble fall to the higher platform against the cliff Look at the platform you’re on and stand on the thin column of tiles, close to the cliff Look to the right and see a beam. Look at the third hole right of the cable holding it up (see this image for example of the setup: ) Bubble jump to the beam, then bounce to the floor of the rope challenge

Do the first half of the rope challenge (you can jump to next rope diagonally) NavChip 4 on left rope in first half of rope challenge Use flying board to get back up to middle platform Finish rope challenge and elevator up to second station SKIP (entering second station)

Activate light panel, then ride the circle platform: (jump, right, down, jump, right, jump) Tool 3 counterclockwise around station 3 SKIP (Neutron Duplicator) (you keep your rolling momentum while skipping cutscenes so be careful you don't roll of the cliff) Trigger Flurp machine at start of bubble maze Jump towards the elevator clockwise of the start, the bubble fall at the height of your jump

When you die, you should spawn at that nearby Flurp machine instead Jump down through the gap in the wall to the bottom of elevator Bubble jump to Invention 2 near bubble maze exit Roll down the tunnel Line up with the center of the lasers, then quickly bubble right past them. They should miss.

SKIP (approach cable car lift) Climb ladder to the left for magnet switch 1 Jump into gated area for magnet switch 2 Magnet switch 3 next to the entrance to this area (fire duplicator's primary backwards to distract the lasers) NavChip 5 in back-left box near top of cable car

#Calamitous’ Lair Pulse Light Ray: Do box near left wall, then middle of right wall, then point of wedge, then the remaining box. Move to a different box if Calamibot lands near. You do start with a little bit of battery power you can use for shields.

Magnetic Turner: Start at the center switch of the 5 near you, then run around clockwise. Jump and face each switch as you fire your shots to ensure they hit.

Gust Buster Fan: Push rectangle to the candy between circle and pentagon, then do square, circle, pentagon, and rectangle in that order

Bubble Gum Blaster: Shoot the big gear, then all the little ones while their shields are down

Neutron Duplicator: Stand behind the large crate, then use the Duplicator's secondary fire mode to make the laser shoot the boxes. Use one trip for the one on top the large crate, and another for the other three.

Collecting Idols: Run back and forth from center to edge just counterclockwise of the idol until Calamibot notices Quickly move in front of the idol and jump up and down

Robot fight (If you have 1hp left at the start, it might be wise to run into Calamibot and die immediately) Gum up gears going clockwise Gum up Calamibot, either between attacks, or during one if you have enough hp (aim slightly to the right of Calamibot, as the Jimmybot is left-handed) Back away from Calamibot while it does its falling over animation and head to a gear far away from it Gum up gears going clockwise a second time Gum up Calamibot a second time For the third pass, gum up the gears going counterclockwise to make there be less bombs to dodge Be careful of the bombs as you wait for it to land, and the shockwave once it does land Use the secondary fire mode to pick it up and throw it at the nearest wall

Final Cutscene (when you throw Calamibot against the wall) Time stops when final cutscene starts

#Appendix 1: Prerequisites: Lost Jungle: 10 NavChips Buccaneer’s Den: 20 NavChips Communications Stations: Leviathan Throne and 30 NavChips Calamitous’ Lair: Downhill Express and 50 NavChips

#Appendix 2: Skipped NavChips We need 50 NavChips to unlock Calamitous’ Lair, but there are 60 in the game, so we can skip some.

ID (location) Jungle 5 (right island in river) Den 1 (backwards from start) Den 4 (top of right boat next to second dock) Den 6 (on barge near the third dock) Jungle 7 (in rafters near second pool) Jungle 8 (down zipline from Jungle 7) Station 1 (Up ladder in second silo (that this guide skips entirely)) Station 5 (flying cube puzzle near first circular station (that this guide skips entirely)) Express ? and ? (These ones are not skipped because of time. Assuming you get them first try, they are very quick. However, a second try takes forever, and its tricky to get them all in one go. Attempt them all. This list assumes at least three successes, and marks the other two as skipped. If you think you can get all the Downhill Express NavChips first try, skip these instead: Volcano 5 (in the dark cavern) Station 6 (left side of first half of rope challenge))
