[section=Tips and General Notes] • On PC, the game will run faster with V-Sync turned OFF. • Timing starts when pressing start after selecting a file. (L + R on Switch)
• Timer ends when the screen fades out after completing the Impossible Lair. • The word "complete" next to a level means collect all 5 T.W.I.T. Coins • Refer to the 5 Coin IL boards to see where they are/the strats to get them. • Totals are your totals thus far, not what you'll collect in a section.

• Hold the LB Button to quickly skip text.

USBee strats are the most frequently used trick throughout the run. It involves unplugging your controller before the game can take away control from you during bee cutscenes after completing a level or when purchasing a paywall. The downsides of this is that you will not be able to pause after performing your first one. We get around this by warping with cutscene maps. You will notice three types of USBee strats in use during this run. • Map Cancels (MC) are when you plug your controller in just before the map screen shows up during a cutscene. You are then free to press B and exit the cutscene which ends the cutscene early. • Map Cancel Warps (MCW) also called Early Warps are similar to map cancels. You plug your controller in with the same timing; however, instead of pressing B to exit the map, you move your invisible cursor over a tome you'd like to warp to and press A twice. This acts like a normal warp but also skips the rest of the cutscene. • Dance Skips (DS) are when you plug your controller in a bit earlier than a map cancel with the goal of taking control of yooka as soon as possible after collecting a Bee. It allows for a short amount of time with control prior to the map displaying. It's useful when you can enter the next level very quickly.

A Bomb or Berry Jump is used frequently throughout the run. They are performed by jumping and starting the buddy slam animation and getting knocked back mid-air to get on top of objects like fences. Note you can't be too close to what you're trying to get on top of, or you'll be knocked away from the object. The general method people use is to jump on the 22nd "beep" out of 25 total beeps the berry will make. Here's an example.

A Slope Roll is the other trick used frequently throughout the run. They can be performed in a number of different ways.

1. Rolling off of a raised platform to continue your roll up a slope. (Used when traversing from Lake to Beach)
2. Jumping, moving slightly toward the slope you are trying to roll up, and slamming at an angle to the wall. Then roll immediately afterwards to roll up the slope. (Used to access Shipwreck Creek/Beach early) Here's an example.
3. Wedging yourself between an object (like a box) and the slope, jumping, then rolling. (Only used on the slope directly west of the Lake Paywall.)

A Long Jump is the last trick that is used fairly frequently throughout the run. To perform one, start a roll, and jump very quickly afterwards. If done correctly, it will allow you to gain some extra height/distance on your jump. It is used for Desert OOB Jump, and Pipe-Man jumps. Here's an example.
