I'm fairly new to glitchless speedruns, and I was wondering if anyone had tips on avoiding encounters with the Spear Guys and Fuzzies in Jade Jungle. I've gotten many game overs to the Spear Guy before the second Yoshi Kid so many times. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Yeah, the spear guy next to the pipe that leads to the dark room can be lured to the right. The spear guy on the wooden bridge before the first Piranha Plant fight can be lured as well to the south and you can loop around him by doing that. If you need anymore help then this let us know!

The spear guy before the second yoshi kid is tricky. I've had similar issues in the past. After luring him right far enough to where he no longer notices you, you'll want to quickly spin to the bushes you need to open to get to the pipe, making sure he still doesn't notice you. This should make it possible to open both bushes without any problems. You'll probably want to practice it a bit, as it's a fairly precise maneuver, and will take getting used to. Are there any other enemies causing you problems?

Now that I'm thinking about it, are there any good strategies for the Forest Fuzzies in Forever Forest? There's so little room to dodge them. I can occasionally spin under them, but is there a surefire way to get around them? Thanks for the help!
