Hi guys is there a section which has most time saves for speed boosts. General concencus seems to be its kinda rpg whether you get them or not or which ones you get, however iv always pretty much used mike from start of water level and from what I can remember always get the speed boosts etc there I changed it up other day and used leo and didnt get them although upon changing to mike at end got others I dont generally get basically put it appears mike gets all the boosts etc and leo and don get some with raph appearing to get very little. This may just be a coincidence but watched few other runs other day and appeared consistent with what im saying. So if anyone knows good speed boost section through there someone said the maze before has a boost section but cant remember ever getting boost through there but pretty much always raph at that point so would make sense.

There are two different patterns of underwater speed boosts. One of them is good, the other doesn't seem to help much and gives you speed boosts in bad spots. The good pattern gives you boosts in particular spots throughout the level, with the best one being the huge straight away section through the big seaweed patch and electricity section. There are a few other small helpful boosts with that pattern also. I don't really know how to control which pattern I get, but I know that whenever I keep my speed after the downward screen transition after the first bomb defusing, then I have the good pattern. If I slow down during that screen transition, then I have the bad pattern. I don't think the turtle you are using matters (it seems to be frame based), but I am not sure. I think there is a youtube video by spiderwaffle that goes into a lot of detail on the swimming section.

Here is the spiderwaffle video that I believe you were referring to:

Shout out to Skunky for helping me with the speed boosts. I seem to get the good current pretty much every time now. What works for me is that as soon as the swimming section starts, hold right and don't hit any walls or ceilings until you get to the next screen where the second bomb is. If I've done that I seem to always get the good current when I go back down to the third bomb. You can let go of the right direction button while switching turtles, but I try to have it pressed again by the time it gets back to the game screen.
