Route options and benchmark times: babby's first seagull kill: ~1:55 best: ~1:39 It is recommended not to attempt a faster route until your time is close to the benchmark time for the current strats you are using. If you are using faster strats and your time is still slower than the benchmark for a route with worse strats, it is recommended that you simplify your route.

Kill the seagull, then use it to carry the penguin over to the statue, supersliding along the way. Buttstomp the penguin near the statue. Drop the penguin on a button, grab the other penguin and put it on another button, use the seagull corpse for a third button, and hit the fourth button as Evo.

Killing the seagull: This is probably one of the hardest 100% necessary trick in the run. The seagull kill skips the entire level, saving probably 3 minutes. Hold Z to help aim, slide down the slope near the edge close to the seagull, then tap A and B pretty much at the same time. Aiming slightly to the right of the seagull seems to work best. When you run out of energy, are too far away from the seagull, or are too close to the bottom of the slope, let go of Z and jump back up the cliff (start by holding down-right, then change directions as necessary). The fastest kills involve turning back around while still on the slope, but for your first kills it might be easiest to climb all the way up the slope for a full reset on your position.

Movement as the seagull: The movement is pretty straightforward, but you want to superslide only in the area with the two penguins that say "I love you". Superslide toward the slope, but let go of A as you reach it so that you accelerate down the slope instead of starting to fly.

Buttstomping the penguin: This buttstomp is a little strange because it only works if you are holding the first penguin and if you land on it from high enough up. Don't try anything fancy, just fly over it and land on it from a reasonable height.

Hitting the buttons: The buttons are intended to be hit by corpses that are not the one you were just playing as. As a result, only the buttons you activate with the dead penguin are intended and easy. When you jump out of the seagull to hit the third button, the game will push it off the button. Put the seagull on the edge of the button farthest from the statue such that the button is still activated. When you jump out, the seagull will be pushed off the button, but it will land on the slope and slide back on the button. The button will not activate until the seagull is off screen. When the seagull goes off screen, it will hit the button and be pushed off again. Keep the seagull on screen until you reach the last button as Evo, then rotate the camera to put the seagull off screen.

Techniques

Supersliding: Floating down as the seagull, start flying again when you are near the ground. You start accelerating upwards, but are still moving downwards at this point. If you hit the ground while flapping and accelerating up, you start to superslide. Hold A to continue flapping your wings and continue the slide.
