Use Pretty Bomber (girl dressed in pink), preferably.

Best Route - Beach Side Bonus:

• Buy either 0 or 1 P-Bomb for Ski Course's shortcut

• Play at least one track of: Bomber Circuit / Coaster Lake

• Finish Beach Side with a 100 coin lap with at least: 75 time left, if you bought 1 P-Bomb 70 time left, if you bought none (if you buy 1 and go under 75, but 70/over, go back a menu and sell the p-bomb)

• Beat the rest of the tracks Getting 75 (or even 70!) on beach bonus isn't as hard as it seems. Just dash in straight lines, and turn without it. No bomb boosts needed. Before the last 10 coins

Beginner Route #1 - No 100 Coins. (Recommended) (Slowbrofist's 22:09)

• Buy 2 P-Bombs

• Beat all the tracks, play the bonus laps for Bomber Circuit and Beach Side, don't worry about coins, but try to grab a few while doing a fast lap. (You need +1600 from bonuses ; 1550/1500 if you buy 1/0 P-Bombs) (usually do Circuit -> Beach -> Rest) Foing Ski + 100 Coins is faster even if you make some mistakes getting coins, but it might be pointless since Ski 100 isn't really used anywhere other than the Mirror Ending category. Again, Beach 75 isn't as hard as it looks.

Beginner Route #3 - Ski Course 100 Coins (2nd Best):

• Buy 2 P-Bombs

• Play B.Circuit, C.Lake, B.Side in whatever order you want (Beach Side can't be first because of the money)

• Finish Ski Course with a 100 coin lap (time left doesn't matter) (✻)

• Beat the rest of the tracks Even if you miss coins and slow down a bit to get them, this route is better than the non-100coin route by a good margin.

Routing Explanation:

• Pretty Bomber is chosen because of how opponents behave at the beginning of each race. If you don't choose her, she will always be on Beach Side with a rocket bomb. A lot of times she hits Black Bomber, who speeds in front of her using roller skates, but other times she hits you anywhere before entering the cave. If you choose Black Bomber, you'll get hit almost always (since White will be one of the opponents instead of Black, who uses a shield, not roller skates). Choose Pretty Bomber and don't turn too soon to the left, because White will be there using a shield.
• Without playing a bonus round for extra money, you cannot access: Star Express, Dyna Mountain, Bomber Castle.
• The starting money along with all track profits add up to 800. You'll need an extra 1500 to get access to Bomber Castle, which costs 2300 (not accounting P-Bomb purchases).
• You get a bonus for finishing a bonus lap with all 100 coins, as well as 10 coins for every second of time left you have.
• The fastest lap is Bomber Circuit, which doesn't give us enough money.
• The second fastest is Beach Side, which can give us just enough! Beach 100 (75) = +1550 Beach 100 (70) = +1500 Ski 100 = +2100 disregarding time left (more than enough already with 2 P-Bombs) No 100 Coins: BC+BS = Requires an average of 80 time left +coins if you buy 2 P-Bombs, 75 if none.

About Ski Course's shortcut: You essentially boost yourself to an upper part of the level throwing a P-Bomb or a Remote Control and jumping into it after it explodes. You'll see it being used on the faster runs. You can ignore it when speedrunning this game at first. but if you want to learn it, it's not a precise trick at all, and it's included in Slowbrofist's guide.

About Beach Side's shortcut: If you go through the cavern and boost yourself towards the small red boat, you'll spawn at the bridge of the regular shortcut (which we used to reach by bomb-boosting to it the normal way). Check "Guides" for videos showing the shortcut and the backup strategy in case you miss it.
