Ik for river survival hard mode, right side is still fastest, but im extremely lost as far as ballon count goes. I was joping someone could make a nice spreadsheet doing the math like ricey did for normal mode. Thanks if u waste ur time for the community!
8 ballons shouldn't be too hard if you don't bonk too much, 7 balloons is possible too but you literally can't bonk a single time!
Balloons routing: Gentle Beginning: Take the first three balloons Cheep Cheep Schools: Take the second one Rapids Run: Take the second ballon (the others completely kill your speed from the boost panels, on the second one it ends immediately before anyway) Eye of the Needle: Take the first one and the notes one. In the maze, go the left path and skip the balloon. Beyond the Jungle: Take the first one if you need it, skip it if you have enough time.
