In order to reach Read Beard in Shiver Your Timbers 2, you are intended to pay a 750 Snack. However, to save time on collecting all those snacks, you can skip this gate and go directly into the Redbeard boss fight. You can do this by jumping on a broken wood piece above the shortcut to Wreck 1, then jumping onto collision on the side of the boat, and then charging and essentially clipping into the side of the boat so you can jump up some more invisible walls until you are on top of the boat.

Then luckily, there is a hole on the deck that allows you to get inside the boat. There is nothing inside it, so you need to float all the way to the back of the boat and jump up some more collision. There is a door that you can climb up to and you can actually reach the trigger point to enter Shiver Your Timbers 2 from here. This is possible with or without the Umbrella, but the Umbrella-less method is slightly different. Be Careful not to use Super Smash while doing this Skip because it can cause you to Softlock as you can get stuck suspended in the side of the boat.

Location: Aghast by the Mast 3

Inventions Needed: Springs

Versions the can do this: GCN, PS2, Xbox

Example With Umbrella:

Umbrella-less Example (Time Stamp 32:04) **For this version, you want to keep that camera angle instead of the straight-on one. Any camera angle can be used for the version with Umbrella.

Tutorial:

To finish it off, we have Fred Clip. Once considered difficult by many, now fairly consistent. Previously, we would simply save the game and reset the fight. But, it is much easier to hold the D pad, hold R, and then jump on the left corner (similar to Shark Skip). You will usually make it within a few attempts.
