Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex (TWoC) is very similar to Crash Bandicoot
3: Warped in almost every way. However, most of the levels are longer and
harder compared to Warped. As we know, in time trial, you have to beat the
level without dying. Longer and harder levels mean that you will die more often
when attempting time trial. This is the main reason why time trial in this game
is not as popular as Warped's time trial.
However, there is a programming short-sight that allows us to take an Aku Aku
mask into time trial without losing it when we touch the clock. We can even
bring in two Aku Aku masks (otherwise known as Golden Aku Aku mask) to time
trial! (for more bugs/glitches, check out Section VII). Just remember that for
most running levels, this is a compulsory requirement in order to beat the
Master Time. For what the Master Time is, please read the very first part of
Section III.
Another reason why the time trial in this game is not as popular as Warped's is
because the times set for platinum relics seem to be a bit random and untested.
Platinum relics for some levels - mainly plane levels (i.e. level 2, 9, 18) and
secret warp room levels (i.e. level 26-30) - are way too easy to obtain whereas
some longer running levels (such as level 17 and 22) are really difficult for
beginner and intermediate players. That's why in some later versions of this
game (for Gamecube and X-Box), some relic times have been adjusted in order to
bring the difficulty down a little bit.
The bazooka control in this game is vastly different from Warped's bazooka. In
Warped, you would find it very difficult to move the target of the bazooka and
you can't target objects outside the screen. In TWoC, you would notice that the
bazooka control is pretty easy and you are allowed to shoot objects outside the
screen, which means the bazooka has a longer shooting range compared to Warped.
This long range shooting ability is very useful in order to shoot the clock
from as far as possible in some running levels. This isn't really possible in
Warped due to the awkward control and the short range of the bazooka.
There are 30 levels in TWoC, same as Warped. The level length in TWoC is
generally longer, but there is a ridiculous amount of time boxes in each level.
For example, Level 1 in TWoC, Arctic Antics, is longer than Level 1 in Warped,
Toad Village, but Arctic Antics has over 100 boxes, and so you would expect
there would be a lot of time boxes too. And yes, there are heaps of time boxes.
Boxes that usually stay the same in Warped, such as nitros and TNTs can also
turn into time boxes in TWoC, adding more time boxes.
As has been said above, you can bring in 2 Aku Aku masks to time trial in TWoC,
but the invincibility (when you collected 3 Aku Aku masks) does not give you
additional running speed (Warped gives you extra speed while invincible).
Moreover, the invincibility is only last for a few seconds (finished faster
than Warped), so invincibility hardly gives any advantages, other than you can
destroy all enemies and crates that are blocking your way. This sole advantage
is the reason why invincibility in TWoC is still important. In TWoC, jumping,
spinning and (especially) hanging on a bar will slow you down significantly,
unlike Warped where they won't slow you too much. Therefore, you should be able
to go faster with invincibility because you don't need to spin or jump to
destroy enemies and crates.
There are also some very helpful technical glitches that are allowed to be used
for getting the best time. These glitches are the "invisible floor" glitch and
Crashteroids glitch (see Section VII for more details). However, Wizards and
Lizards glitch IS NOT ALLOWED for setting a record because the glitch makes you
finish the level in under one second with NO SKILL REQUIRED WHATSOEVER, which
defeats the purpose of time trial. Moreover, the Wizards and Lizards glitch can
only work in the original NTSC PS2 version of TWoC, so if it is allowed, this
would give a very BIG unfair advantage to those who own this version.
In conclusion, when comparing to Warped, the records for TWoC are generally
faster, even though the levels are longer, as demonstrated in the example above
- you can get a faster time in Arctic Antics than in Toad Village, although
Arctic Antics is far longer.
You will enjoy the time trial in this game if you like Warped's time trial.
However, you WILL get frustrated on your first few attempts due to the high
probability of failing. Just keep on practicing, follow this guide and soon you
should be able to get all the Platinum, and even beating some Master Times!
Good luck!

III. PROFESSIONAL TIME TRIAL GUIDE [0300]

This section will be divided into 30 parts for each level. Each level section
will start with the level number, followed by the title of the level in
English. Then, the time for all in-game relics, Master Time, my best time, best
time achieved by another player and LTP (Lowest time possible) will be provided
as a reference. Note that the relic times in this guide are from the PAL PS2
version of this game. Let's look at what each of these times refers to:
oo----------oo
| Sapphire |
o------------o
Time for this relic is easily beaten. You should have no problem with this at
all. This is the minimum requirement to complete the game. All sapphire relics
can be gained without the running shoes (i.e. before you finish the game).
oo------oo
| Gold | (-x:xx.xx = difference between Gold and Sapphire)
o--------o
The time for this relic was set with all Crash Bandicoot players in mind - from
beginner, intermediate to highly skilled players. All players was expected to
get at least gold relics for full game completion. For some, this may be a
challenging task to do, but for others, they can beat the gold times easily.
oo----------oo
| Platinum | (-xx:xx.xx = difference between Platinum and Gold)
o------------o
This relic is not for everyone. The players need to practice a lot and know the
level inside out in order to get the platinum relic. If you follow the
strategies outlined in this guide and practice your skill diligently, you
should be able to beat the Platinum times with ease.
oo-------------oo
| Master time | (-xx:xx.xx = difference between Master Time and Platinum)
o---------------o
The Master Time is an unofficial benchmark set by me, which is similar to the
"Developer Time" of Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped. The time is not shown in the
game. This is the time that you should achieve if you understand the strategies
outlined in this guide and practice them with dedication. Beating Master Time
will give you a huge sense of accomplishment (just like beating the "Developer
Time" in Warped) and show people that you have mastered that level in time
trial.
oo---------oo
| My time | (-xx:xx.xx = difference between My Time and Master Time)
o-----------o
This is my personal best record. This is pretty hard to beat since I have been
playing this game for quite some time now. You may beat a few of my times
easily, but some of them are (probably) world records. However, nothing is
perfect. There are always room for improvements.
oo-----------oo
| Best time | (-xx:xx.xx = difference between Best Time and Master Time)
o-------------o
This is the best time achieved by other players who have played this game
competitively.
oo----------------------------oo (-xx:xx.xx = difference between LTP and
| LTP (Lowest Time Possible) | Best/My Time whichever is lower)
o------------------------------o
LTP is a theoretical lowest time possible using strategies outlined in this
guide. All LTPs is supposed to be impossible to beat as you are expected to
NEVER get any lower than the time specified here. LTP is calculated using a
theoretical perfect run if you follow everything in this guide, minus few
milliseconds. However, as new strategies surfaced, some LTP may be broken and
need to be revised.
________________________________
After all of these information listed, the strategy on how to get the best time
will follow. This strategy is designed to help you beat the Master Time, so if
you only want to get the platinum, you may want to skip some difficult tricks
along the line. The strategy will assume that you bring no Aku Aku to the
level. The strategy may also refer you to a video that can be found in the
links part at the end of each level section. The links part will provide all
the links to proofs that have been posted over the internet for that level
(either a full run video or just a screenshot). Let me know if any of the links
are down.
Note that sometimes I may give you specific frozen times break down along the
way in a level. The times were estimated from what I experienced while playing
time trial in the level. Usually when I said xx.xx - xx.xx (e.g. 5.80 - 6.30),
the lowest time in the range can only be achieved with a very good run and some
luck, so if you are on the higher end or just a bit over the range (1 or 2 sec
over the range is ok), don't worry too much, you will still be able to get
platinum relic easily. However, you may just miss out on beating the Master
Time. Just keep practising. Getting the average of the range is considered
"very good". Getting lower than this range means that you should be able to
beat My Time easily if everything runs perfectly until the end.
And if you haven't realised it yet, I haven't successfully done all the tricks
I wrote in this guide for all levels because if I did, I should have beaten all
the Best Time from other players. I have got 15 BEST TIME EVER (BTE) for time
trial in this game so far. Some may be beaten easily because I have not done
every tricks in the level perfectly. However, because I have the best time for
that level, this basically means no one else has effectively executed all the
tricks too. If you do, I am sure you will beat My Time.
Credits section at the end of each level is provided to acknowledge every
person who has shared their strategies with me. When there are no credits for
techniques, glitches or tricks listed on that level, then that means I learned
these strategies with no reference from external sources (such as the Tornado
Alley order for destroying the generator) or they are common strategies (such
as cutting corners and get all the time boxes).
Note that for the best time on all running levels, you must have a running
shoes super power, which you can obtain by defeating the last boss for the
first time. You need to keep on running ALL THE TIME by holding R2 down at all
times (exception is when you are hanging or in a machine).
With all these in mind, let's start!

| STRATEGY |
o------------o
First of all, get yourself a golden Aku Aku mask. This can be done by doing the
time trial, get the Aku Aku box after the second seals march, then restart
trial. Repeat once more to get a golden Aku Aku mask.
Once you have a golden Aku Aku mask, it's time to start your championship run.
Shoot the clock using bazooka from the three crates ahead, preferably from
BEHIND the boxes, NOT in front of the boxes (it is easier from the front but
that will waste approximately 10 milliseconds). Spin the boxes right after the
time trial starts, so you should have 0.02 - 0.10 now. Then run, avoid seals,
cut corner, spin the time box (DON'T JUMP while running) and get invincibility
from the Aku Aku box. Small jump over the pit.
Cut another corner by small jump over the pit, then get all time boxes in your
way. Your invincibility should run out when you pass the two normal crates
stack together on the ice. Normal jump over the pit and spin the 2 sec time box
on top of a TNT. Your time should be 9.60 - 10.00 now.
Small jump the pit where the whale jumps. Spin the next time box. Normal jump
passed the TNT on its right but spin before you land so you don't waste an Aku
Aku mask and get stuck in the TNT box stack. Sometimes you need to spin the ice
skater which may cost you 10 to 20 milliseconds. For the best time, you may
need to restart trial, but otherwise keep going.
Spin the next time box. Avoid spinning penguins. Small jump the first and
second pits. Run pass the third small pit. Then small jump all the remaining
pits while getting the two time boxes. Time should be 19.40 - 20.00 now.
Cut corner, pass the TNT from the left side (DON'T JUMP) and avoid spinning
penguins. Get the two time boxes when you are out of the cave. Now here is the
trickiest part of the level to do it properly.
Small jump to the long main island in the middle. Then small jump to 2 sec time
box on the right. When you are bouncing from the time box, immediately use
double jump and tornado spin to get both 3 sec and 2 sec time boxes ahead.
Right after getting the 2 sec time box, jump (normal or small jump depending on
where you land after performing the tornado spin) and land behind the switch
box. Time should be around 27 seconds now.
Cut corner and spin the last time box (around 29 seconds is good) and run to
the warp portal. You may slide to the portal to make it few milliseconds faster
but the risk of missing the portal while sliding is very VERY high. So, it's up
to you if you want to slide or just run to it. Best bet is, just run.
Voila! You just beat the master time! Congrats! Your time should be 31.20 -
31.90.
The second link below shows you how to do this strategy well. The only problem
with this video is Stelzig did not shoot the clock at the beginning. If he did,
this run will easily beat the Master Time.
The first link shows the difference between the PAL and NTSC versions. On 21.00
seconds time trial game time in the first video (NTSC video), you can see two
time boxes behind a box stack, while this doesn't exist in the PAL version. It
appears that Crash runs a little slower in the NTSC version by about 1.5 second
in total for this level, so equal run in NTSC version would be about half a
second faster than its PAL counterpart.

| STRATEGY |
o------------o
Just when you start, turn to the left immediately. Go up a bit until you can
see a normal crate balloon, then turn right so you are now in line with a
health balloon nearby. Then keep shooting the 1st balloon - not the box -
behind the health balloon (see diagram below for location) when you are just
beside the health balloon. When you feel your next few bullets will hit the
balloon, quickly turn around and shoot the clock while moving your plane to the
second time box. You must do this very very fast. So, when you start, you
should have between 0.00 - 0.60 with 6 seconds frozen time from the two time
boxes you cracked earlier. Check video on link #2 for visual aid. Link #3 shows
more difficult technique by Slazzy. Both results should be similar. Note that
you must do this very fast, otherwise the 1st box may hit the ground already
before you start the time trial, which means you will lose 3 seconds.
An alternative easier but slower method is:
Just when you start, turn to the left immediately. Then go behind the 2nd time
box (see diagram), then shoot the balloon and the clock from there... Note that
this method is slower than the first method as you don't take the other time
box.
This is the diagram:
............5...........
........................
6.......................
.......................4
...B1...................
........................
....H.......3...........
........................
............C...........
...B2...................
............S...........
........................
1......................2
Note: NOT TO SCALE
S = start point
C = the clock to start time trial
H = the health balloon
B1 = the first balloon you should shoot before starting time trial
B2 = the second balloon you should shoot before starting time trial
... and then shoot the tornado generator in the order I have put.
Follow the order as shown in the diagram. Shoot all time boxes (the red
balloons). You can shot the box or the balloon. However for the last two time
boxes, you must shoot the box, NOT the balloon as it takes too long for the box
to hit the ground, so you would lose a lot of frozen milliseconds if you don't
shoot the box.
For the best time, you also need some luck and 100% accuracy, i.e. quickly move
on when you know you have shot enough bullets to destroy the generator, even
before the generator is destroyed.

Note that to get the best time, you SHOULD NOT wait even a single frame for the
first elevator platform to come down. The platform should be on the ground and
when you are on it, it should move up immediately. The platform stays at the
exact same place where it was on your previous time trial attempt. So, wait for
the platform to be on the ground, then restart trial. On your next time trial
attempt, the platform should be on the ground for you to roll on to.
Move on as fast as you can. Conserve momentum and get all time boxes. Watch the
video (link #1) to learn the techniques required for this level.
Some improvements that can be made from the video (link #1):
You can cut the first spiral by jumping to the lower part. To cut the first
spiral, you should be in the lower half of the spiral before getting the 1 sec
time box, then roll as fast as possible to the top part getting the 1 sec time
box, and then you should jump out of the spiral before it begins to turn. This
means you will have to miss a 2 sec time box. If you get the 2 sec time box, it
will slow you down and you will not be able to jump to the lower part. You
should have 5.20 - 5.60 when getting the 3 sec time box underneath.
Highlights from the video (link #1):
In the video, Fethy used the fence to gain more speed, in particular when he
climbed the hill right after the first spiral. This is very hard to do and
require specific angle to perform this successfully. You may need some practice
so you can do this without decreasing your speed. He used the fence technique
once more just before he got the time box near nitro on the optional left way.
Note that once you get this time box beside nitro and all 3 sec time boxes on
this dead-end, the time should be frozen for the rest of the level. So, if you
don't get the record you want at this point, you may want to restart trial, or
just practice for the later part of the level.
To maintain the frozen time, you should get the time boxes up high using the
elevator just after you coming out from the dead-end. You also have to cut the
third spiral, like what you did on the first spiral. To do this properly, you
need to stop right after you jump out of the spiral, so you should fall on the
downhill and gain enough speed to roll up fast on the next uphill. If you roll
full speed when jumping down on the third spiral, you will be struggling to go
uphill. This may break the frozen time you should have kept to the end.
After the spiral, get all the time boxes and choose the bottom way where there
is a stack of 4 nitros blocking the way (NOT the one with the elevator). You
can roll pass the stack from the side and immediately break the nearest two
time boxes (see video). If you miss these two time boxes, the time would get
unfrozen and you will lose a few milliseconds. Then just roll to the end warp
to get your record saved!

o------------o
NOTE THAT THE USED OF SELECT GLITCH IN THIS LEVEL IS STRITCLY PROHIBITED. For
the reason, check Section VII of this guide.
First of all, get yourself a golden Aku Aku mask. To do this fast, play the
time trial until you are chased by a dragon (or a big lizard?). You should be
able to get the 2 Aku Aku in one run. Once you have a golden Aku Aku, restart
trial.
Before you begin the time trial, go and defeat all the enemies up to the first
checkpoint crate: 3 shield knights, 2 bats (note that one of them is harmless
so you can leave it if you want), and the wizard. Just be careful, NOT to slide
the last shield knight, as if you slide him, there is a very good chance that
he will fly into the box behind him which happens to be a checkpoint crate.
Breaking a checkpoint crate will make the clock disappear so you will not be
able to start time trial. You have to go back to the warp room and then come
back to the level (after waiting forever for the loading), so the clock will be
there again. Therefore, just double jump on to the last shield knight, DON'T
slide him.
Once you cleared all the enemies, stand just to the left of where the first bat
was. You will then have to shoot the clock with the bazooka from there. The
clock is a bit to the left. Just after shooting the clock, quickly move the
target of your bazooka a bit to the right to shoot the 2 time boxes there.
Shoot twice to break both time boxes. This is very hard to do unless you have
been practicing a lot. Once you have done these a lot of times, you will notice
that when you stand on a specific pixel of the floor, you can learn where
exactly you should move the target of the bazooka in order to shoot the clock
and the time boxes 90% of the time successfully.
Once that's done, run to the right following the way. After you get your first
invincibility, the time should be around 3 seconds. While being chased, do a
small jump to get the 3 sec time box above the fire pit. Land on the right side
of the pit, then run on the right side of the barrel just beside the pit. It
may take few practices before you can run between the barrel and the pit safely
(without falling down to the pit). No need to jump.
Don't get the second Aku Aku box on the left side; it wastes time. Just run as
straight as possible and get all the time boxes. Small jump all the pits that
is in your way, and also small jump the nitro line. If you can avoid pits and
boxes, AVOID them because spinning or jumping will slow you down. At the part
where there are 6 boxes and 2 of them are time boxes, just spin them once, and
then spin the time box close to them (NOT tornado spin - just normal spin
twice).
On the side scrolling part of the level, slide into all the knights. DON'T jump
over any normal crates, always spin them. At the 1 sec time box and a normal
crate with a nitro on top of them, just slide into the time box. Alternatively,
you can spin it to get faster time, but the nitro must not fall on you because
if it does, it will slow you down a lot. At the last nitro stack, you should
still have an extra Aku Aku mask, so you can just spin the closest nitro to
destroy everything. Then quickly run to the exit portal while the clock is
still frozen.

| STRATEGY |
o------------o
First of all, get yourself a golden Aku Aku mask. One Aku Aku mask is also ok.
You can bring them from another level. Alternatively, this can be done by doing
the time trial in this level (may take a long time, but I think it is still
faster than all those loadings we need to sustain if we go to another level
... plus you can practice this level too. Double Bonus!).
The closest two Aku Aku boxes in this level are at the factory part. The first
one is just after the TNTs and normal crates stack. The second one is on the
pit just after the three green laser things in the side scrolling part of the
factory section.
Once you got the golden Aku Aku, restart trial. At the start wait a little
before starting. There are two things to notice so you know how long you have
been waiting. First, you can start jumping to the mine-cart just when the 3rd
steam rises on the left side of the background. Second, you can also start when
Aku Aku is looking at you (the player) or Crash. The wait is done so that in
the later part of the level, the crushers should not block your way if you
follow this strategy properly (i.e. you are fast enough). Otherwise, you may
just want to try to find your own timing in order to suit your speed.
In the mine-cart part, ALWAYS hold the control stick up. You should have 1.20 -
1.30 when taking the first alternative route (left one). Then take the second
alternative route (right one, after the yellow gem path) and still getting all
time boxes. Avoid nitros, get all time boxes and the time should be 9.20 - 9.40
when you get out of the mine-cart.
On the running part, avoid all spiky hazards - should be no problem if the
timing is right. At the first time box that is high in the air, you need to
slide jump and break the crate from its bottom. Alternatively, you can spin it
after doing double jump, but this is a bit slower. Land on the other side of
the spring crate and TNTs and keep running. Jump over the conveyor belt. At the
TNTs and the time boxes, just spin the TNT to destroy all the boxes while keep
running. Get the Aku Aku. Keep jumping over all conveyor belts. The only
conveyor belt you don't need to jump is the first belt in the side scrolling
section with green lasers on it as it moves favourably. At these green lasers,
just run through all of them, losing one of your Aku Aku mask.
From the last green laser, double jump and spin the 3 sec time box up high then
fall down to the two 3 sec time boxes while spinning to break them plus the Aku
Aku box nearby. The "invisible floor" glitch will work here. Quickly jump back
up to the iron boxes when you have broken the time boxes. Alternatively, after
you get the 3 sec time box up high, you can fall down on to the iron spring
crate and from there, jump to the right side of the two 3 sec time boxes, land
on the iron box, then spin the two 3 sec time boxes standing just beside them.
This alternative method is arguably faster than the first method, however, you
will not get the Aku Aku box (not really necessary).
If you have done this properly, the next two crushers should not block your
way. Otherwise, just wait until they move up. If you don't get block by the
crushers, you will beat the Master Time easily. Next, jump on all the time
boxes over the pit (preferably using small jumps) and to the black floor ahead.
At the end of the side scrolling section of the level, you can dodge the mad
scientist that throws blue things by running downwards passed him. Note that
spinning will slow you down.
Keep on running in the shortest route to the exit portal, ignoring all the
green lasers. You may not have an Aku Aku mask here, which is not a problem. If
the lasers hit you, you will get slow down a few milliseconds anyway, so you
may want to restart trial to achieve the best time. Otherwise, if the laser
does not hit you or you have an extra Aku Aku mask, you can keep on running to
the exit portal to save your record and you may just beat the Master Time!

| STRATEGY |
o------------o
First of all, get yourself a golden Aku Aku mask. This can be done by getting
the nearest Aku Aku box in time trial. Do this twice. Restart trial.
Once you have a golden Aku Aku, cross the bridge before you hit the clock. Spin
a man-eater plant here. Then take position just beside the third normal crate
on its left and try to shoot the clock from there (see video on link #1 and
#2). Right after you launch the bazooka to shoot the clock, immediately move
the target a bit to the left to shoot the 3 sec time box just a short distance
to the left of the clock. You need to do this as fast as possible to save time.
This may take some practice to do, but once you know and get familiar with the
specific pixel you need to stand on to shoot the clock (like in Level 4), you
can learn where you should move the target of the bazooka in order to shoot the
clock and the time box 90% of the time successfully.
Once the trial has started, quickly run to the first box stack and do a double
jump then spin to get the 2 sec time box up high. If you are lucky, your single
spin may also crack the 1 sec time box below. If you are not so lucky, you will
get bounce on the 1 sec time box which is a bit slower. Alternatively, you can
slide jump and break the 2 sec time box from its bottom and then bounce on to
the 1 sec time box. Nevertheless, you will still miss the Aku Aku box and land
on the other side of the stack. Keep on running on the right corner (but don't
get stuck) and double jump to break the next time box from the bottom part of
the crate or just double jump and spin. Alternatively, you can slide jump to
break this crate as shown in the video (link #1), which is faster. Time should
be around 2 to 4 seconds now.
Get invincibility from the next Aku Aku box. Normal jump to get the flying 2
sec time box on the left and small jump to the 1 sec time box. Keep on running.
Then double jump to land on the second iron box stack and then double jump
again to get the 3 sec time box up high. Time should be around 12-13 seconds
now. Alternatively, you can slide double jump to get the 3 sec time box up
high. This alternative way is faster but pretty hard to do. You can see the
video (link #1) on how to do this and with this method, your time would freeze
at around 11 seconds.
Run around the corner (you can run on the stone) and then double jump to get
the 3 sec time box up high. When you get this box, your invincibility should
just run out. Then just spin the TNT to get the time box on its left and
quickly small jump to a nitro on the right to get all the time boxes there.
Keep on running while spinning the next two time boxes. Time should be around
14 to 15 seconds. Now is the jeep part.
Avoid the first ramp by going over the pit. Get time box on the second and
third ramps. Avoid the fifth ramp by going over the pit again. Get time box
from the next ramp and steer the jeep to the left to avoid the next ramp and
nitro. You can crash into the nitros on the big jump because you should have an
extra Aku Aku at this point (as shown in the video on link #1). Alternatively,
you can avoid nitros on the big jump by moving to the right a bit, and save the
extra Aku Aku for later use.
Get all the time boxes and avoid the water when you exit the tunnel. If you are
lucky, you may be able to avoid the first ramp when the rhinos come back, but
you will most likely fall into the pit, so take the ramp as quick and low as
possible and do the same for the next one. Avoid nitro and get all time boxes.
If you don't use your Aku Aku on the big jump, you can crash into the nitros
here to stay on the right side. Before the end, drive to the right a bit so you
will get thrown up from the jeep a bit earlier.
Keep on running and spin the 3 sec time box. Time should be around 51 to 53
seconds here. Run across the bridge to the exit portal to save your record!
Note that you may need some luck so you don't get slowed down by the movement
of the bridge (Crash runs smoothly, like in the video on link #1). Congrats for
beating Master Time in this level!

| STRATEGY |
o------------o
First of all, get yourself a golden Aku Aku mask. The Aku Aku box is right at
the start so you can do this quickly. Once you get it, let's start time trial.
Remember, in any underwater level with Crash swimming, the general rule for
fastest time is that you MUST press X (jump button) and square (spin button)
continuously for a complete tornado spin - not just a single spin or quick
tornado spin - while still taking the shortest route possible and getting all
the time boxes. Don't stop no matter what. Sometimes, you may need to time your
spin so you don't get killed by the enemies and not get stuck behind crates.
You will be surprised by how much this will save your time.
So let's start. Get the invincibility and all the time boxes on the first part
of the level. Be careful when you are inside the first straight tube. Keep on
pressing X and square, but be careful not to go up or down too much since you
may get stuck here. Keep going fast, down the next tube. Get the two time boxes
and Aku Aku box as fast as possible. You should have around 3 seconds now.
Keep on pressing X and square and get all the time boxes. When your
invincibility end, there are two time boxes with two normal crates in between.
To get these as fast as possible, just spin the bottom time box and move up
immediately while still spinning and go to the next tube. Note that Fethy has
lost few milliseconds in his video (link #1) in this part.
Quickly get the time box in the tube. On the next part, DO NOT go and get the 2
sec time box and Aku Aku box on the left, like what Fethy did on his video
(link #1). It wastes almost one second to do that. Just spin the TNT and get
all the time boxes after that. Time should be around 7 seconds when you finish
the swimming part.
On the machine, use your X and square attack wisely to destroy enemies and
boxes (see the video for visual aid). On the first part, just keep pressing
right to move the machine on the straightest route possible. On the last tube
that goes down, keep pressing X to get all the time boxes below, including the
one at the bottom just after the tube so you don't have to go there to break it
which will waste you a second. Then go to the left and keep the machine as
close as possible to the iron boxes. Drop a torpedo to destroy the nitro stack
and time boxes at the bottom, touch the switch box and drop another torpedo to
get another time box under a normal crate inside the second iron box opening.
Note that the time should be frozen for the rest of the level from the moment
you drop a torpedo to the first nitro stack.
Get the time boxes while dropping another torpedo to destroy nitros so you can
pass the iron boxes. Keep on moving left, getting all the time boxes and get to
the exit portal while the time is still frozen. Congrats for beating Master
Time in this level!

| STRATEGY |
o------------o
First of all, get yourself a golden Aku Aku mask. This can be done by doing the
time trial and get an Aku Aku mask from the crate just before the maze. Do this
twice and you should get a golden Aku Aku mask if you don't die or get hit by
the many hazards in this level. Alternatively, you can bring in a golden Aku
Aku mask from another level which is NOT recommended.
Once you have the mask, restart trial. Then get the clock while trying to kick
the 1 sec time box nearby. Small jump over the pit. Get the hidden 3 sec time
box with ONE kick in the box stack to the right. Small jump every pit. Kick the
2 sec time box, then immediately small jump through the circular hole. Then
normal jump on to the time boxes. Do this once more. Get all the time boxes.
Do a normal jump while kicking the Aku Aku to get invincibility. Kick the TNT
to get the time box. Then normal jump to the maze. Time should be 4.20 - 4.60
now.
Cut corner in the maze and kick the first time box to save time (even when you
have invincibility). Your invincibility should last until a bit just after the
first ninja. Then, THIS IS IMPORTANT, kick the next ninja so he got thrown to
the time box on top of the nitro on the right side. If the ninja did not crack
the box, just restart trial unless you want to practice for the later part of
this level. In his video (link #1), Fethy did not do this successfully which
means he should be able to save 1 to 2 seconds. The frozen time should be at
around 10 seconds now.
Then kick all the lizards and get the time boxes below. Quit the maze and be
careful with the fish on the first pit. Only kick if it comes out because
kicking wastes a few milliseconds. Quickly normal jump to the spring crate and
press X (jump button) exactly at the time you land on the spring crate. Your
jump should go higher so you can kick the two time boxes up high in one go by
going a bit to the front (see video on link #1). Next, avoid the ninja and kick
the two lizards with one kick - twice if you are not so lucky.
Now, get the two 1 sec time boxes as fast as possible by jumping and kicking or
just break them one by one by jumping to the bottom part of the crates.
Alternatively, you can ignore one of the 1 sec time boxes and just run straight
after you break one of them. The alternative method is a bit slower but easier.
Move down a bit before small jumping over the pit so the pelican would not ruin
your jump. Then kick the box stack once to destroy all. Small jump to the brown
platforms and then to the next platform. Be careful with the fish.
Kick the normal crate and small jump to the 1 sec time box. With the bounce
from this crate, crack the flying 3 sec time box from its bottom. To do this,
you must press X (jump button) exactly at the time you land on the 1 sec time
box, so the jump you do will be a bit higher - high enough to break that 3 sec
time box. Better press the X a little too soon than a little too late. You need
some practice to do this properly (see video on link #1). Do NOT kick while
doing this. Otherwise, you may hit nitros below. Alternatively, you can kick
the 1 sec time box and then small jump to the iron spring crate to get the 3
sec time box up high. This alternative method is a bit slower.
Move on and kick the ninja. Normal jump over the pit to land on top of the time
box and bounce to the other side of the nitro. Normal jump into the circular
opening and avoid the gong hitters. Then kick the nitro on the next box stack,
so you get another Aku Aku at the moment you lost one. Then small jump to the
iron spring crate.
Do only one jump from the red trampoline to the roof. Kick Aku Aku box to get
invincibility. Get the time boxes, small jump over all the fire, then normal
jump to the first red trampoline so you can get to the second red trampoline
with one jump. Do two jumps on the second trampoline. One to get the 3 sec time
box, and the next one is to get to the next roof.
At the end of the roof, do a normal jump to the bottom, then quickly small jump
over all the pits. Get the time box up high using the spring crate and kick the
spring crate before you land so you don't get bounce up again. Normal jump
passed the fire and kick the normal crate. Then quickly run upwards and kick
the TNT to get the time box. The time should be frozen from here on.
Kick normal crates that blocking your way and fall down to nitro to get all the
time boxes immediately. Kick the TNT and normal crate, and run to the exit
portal before the time got unfrozen. You should beat Master Time quite easily
if you have done all these!

| STRATEGY |
o------------o
Just when you start, turn to the left immediately. Shoot down all 4 enemy
planes while you are getting away from the clock. The enemy will spawn after
quite some time so you will have some peaceful time during your run with no
suicide planes flying around.
Then turn around and move towards the clock from a bit to the right. Shoot the
far north ship from this position and then lock on to the nearest ship before
you touch the clock. When the time trial start, quickly shoot the far north
ship once more, then take the time box on your right.
Move forward while shooting the ship in front of you twice and getting one time
box on the way. Then shoot the ship once more while taking the other time box
nearby.
Quickly turn to the right and shoot the nearest ship once and the ship next to
it twice. Then turn a bit to the right, taking two time boxes while shooting
another ship. Take the next time box while shooting the ship in front of it
once. Then turn to the right and move towards the time box while shooting down
another ship. Do this once more to the next ship and time box.
3 ships should be down at this point and the time should be frozen at around 10
seconds. Quickly turn to the right and destroy the remaining ships. You should
be able to beat the Master Time with this strategy.
Note that Fethy has done the opposite strategy (see his video on link #1), i.e.
he started by going to the right, then shoot the ship on the left side first,
then move anti-clockwise whilst getting all the time boxes (similar to above
strategy but opposite direction). I don't know which one is faster. You can
choose whichever strategy you want to follow.

First of all, get yourself a golden Aku Aku mask. You can bring them from
another level. Alternatively, this can be done by doing the time trial of this
level (may take a long time, but I think this is still faster than all those
loadings we need to sustain if we go to another level to get the golden Aku
Aku... plus you can practice this level too. Double Bonus!).
The first Aku Aku can be found just after you finished the underwater section.
The second Aku Aku can be found after the second electric water.
Start the time trial by touching the side of the clock and quickly take the
first time box, destroy the TNTs and all the enemies on your way. Keep moving
on and eliminate all things that get in your way. Drop torpedo when necessary
to take time boxes down below. Avoid every falling anchor and you should not
use any of your Aku Aku here. Touch the end wall as fast as you can to move on
to the running part of the level.
By the time you spin the first time box on the running part, you should have
21.60 - 22.20. Spin Aku Aku box and time box with one spin in the first normal
water. With invincibility, crash into the TNT and after that, small jump to a
higher platform. Then walk in the electric water, getting all time boxes
including taking the 3 sec time box up high with double jump. Don't get stuck
behind any iron boxes. Small jump to the last iron boxes platform before your
invincibility runs out.
Avoid the mad scientists. Small jump over the nitro line. Run on the right side
of the box stack, then do a normal jump to bounce on a time box and land on the
next iron boxes platform. Do this once more. Then avoid enemies, slide into
time boxes below TNTs and spin Aku Aku box to get invincibility again.
Crash into every time boxes and run on the electric water to get all time
boxes. Before the invincibility runs out, you will notice there is a 1 sec time
box on top of a steel crate. Note that there is a 3 sec time box up high in
this spot. This box is very easy to miss since you can't see it unless you do a
double jump. Double jump when bouncing from the 1 sec time box below to get
this up high 3 sec time box. Alternatively, if your invincibility has not
finished yet, just do a slide double jump to get the 3 sec time box and fall
down to the 1 sec time box below.
Then move on, spin all the boxes ahead with one spin. Get all time boxes and
spin eels on your way. Then quickly get the three time boxes on top of a spring
crate to stop the time for the rest of the level. Avoid lasers and get few more
time boxes before running to the exit portal. DONE! Another Master Time has
been beaten! Congrats!

| STRATEGY |
o------------o
First of all, get yourself a golden Aku Aku mask. There is an Aku Aku box near
the start, so just start time trial then restart trial to get the two Aku Aku
masks.
Shoot the clock with bazooka from just in front of the second trap that you can
fall down in. You may want to note or count how much time you have spent
waiting before shooting the clock. This way you can learn the movement of the
blocking hazards in this level, so they will not block your way again once you
know the specific timing. The timing is around 20 seconds from the time you
begin the level. You may need to adjust it a bit to match your speed in doing
this level.
Alternatively, you can shoot the clock from behind the second floor trap, so
you can see the movements of the three anchor obstacles and make them as your
time reference. The timing for this alternative method is when the third anchor
(the most-behind one) is doing its third or fourth drawing back, counted from
the fastest moment you can see these anchors. It will be more difficult to
shoot the clock using this alternative method. You may also want to try to
shoot the 2 sec time box on the left of the clock, right after you shoot the
clock. If done properly, this may save you up to half a second.
Right before the clock was hit by your bazooka (whether you choose to take the
2 sec time box or not), quickly run and spin to get an Aku Aku, then double
jump and spin the 3 sec up high. By the time you spin the box up high, it
should have turned into time box. With your invincibility, blast through the
first part of the level. Do a double jump twice up the stairs and a small jump
over the pit after that. Get all time boxes.
The hammer should not block your way. The platform should come out, so you can
just do small jump twice and fall down to a platform below to get all the time
boxes there. Then quickly move up with the two iron spring crates and do a
double jump while bouncing from the last iron spring crate to get a time box up
high. The spiky walls should not block your way if you have done your timing
correctly.
On the next part, don't touch any nitros here. The crusher should be going up
here. Get all time boxes. Spin the ones under the TNT and the TNT will blow up
the ones on top of it, while you run and spin a few time boxes inside the room.
Then double jump and spin the time box up high. Keep running and fall down to
the platform below (no need to jump). The time should still freeze at around 8
seconds here.
Again, avoid all hazards, get all time boxes and don't jump. Just touch any
nitro to get all the time boxes on top of the nitro line. Then get an Aku Aku
with a double jump and a single spin on the right side of the box, then land on
the other side of the pit. Do double jump twice up the stairs.
On the next part, ignore the 3 sec time box below; just quickly get a 1 sec
time box with a double jump and a spin. Land on top of the iron boxes and spin
the 2 sec time box. Alternatively, you can slide under the iron boxes to get
the 3 sec time box and quickly move back to get the 1 sec and 2 sec time boxes
on the top. The alternative method is arguably faster by a few milliseconds.
From here, double jump to land on the higher platform. Then do a double jump
after bouncing from the TNT to get the two time boxes up high. Then do a small
jump pass the pit, spin the normal crate, do a normal jump pass another pit and
then spin the TNT stack near time boxes to destroy everything, but you will
loss your Aku Aku, which is not a problem.
Then, do double jump twice up the stairs. If the spiky walls are blocking your
way, come out a bit to pass it from the front (see video on link #1 for visual
aid). Then do a double jump to get the time boxes on the flying platform and
hopefully the crusher is going up so you can pass and run to the exit portal.
If the crusher is blocking your way, go and break the time boxes on the left
side of the spiky wall, so the time will stay frozen and when you get back to
the crusher, it will not block your way anymore.

| STRATEGY |
o------------o
First of all, get yourself a golden Aku Aku mask. There is one Aku Aku box
right at the beginning, so just start a time trial, spin it and restart trial.
Repeat and rinse.
To start off, let the first wheelbarrow guy goes pass you first. Then just
touch the very side of the clock and kick the time boxes on the left. Ignore
the Aku Aku crate and kick the time box ahead. Time should be 1.10 - 1.20 here.
Alternatively, you can kick the Aku Aku crate first before getting the clock,
run back and take the clock. Kick the time boxes on the left and then just
blast through the next part with your invincibility. The alternative method is
faster by up to 8 milliseconds.
Avoid a wheelbarrow guy and run just beside the fence. Invincibility should
finish now if you do the alternative method. Kick the next time box and the
enemy, then quickly jump to the spring crate, kick the time box up high (timing
is very important here), land on the next platform, avoid the enemy (need some
luck), get another time box up high, kick another enemy if necessary and do
small jumps over all the pits until you get to Coco's scooter. One thing to
note here, on the first small boat, there is a jumping lizard. You need to kick
this lizard on to the time box below the TNT stack at the back of the next
platform. This is pretty hard to do, so you may need some practice in order to
know what angle you need to take while jumping and kicking the lizard in order
to do this successfully.
Now on the scooter. Cut corners, get all time boxes, avoid all wheelbarrow guys
and you should get to the end with no problem. If you get hit by a wheelbarrow
guy, don't worry, it doesn't really matter (as long as you have at least one
Aku Aku mask, which you should have). When you get down from the scooter,
quickly kick the last time box here. Time should be 29.50 - 30.00 now.
Then, just run as straight as possible to the exit portal. Note that Coco would
occasionally (quite often) miss the exit portal if you run just a bit too up
or too down when entering the mist, so you may loss a second or more if this
happens to you. If everything is ok, then the Master Time should not be a
problem for you!

Before you start, wait until all except one of your opponents is at the first
two time boxes. Then start moving. This way you won't get stuck behind an
opponent when you try to take the first speed boost.
Then just race! Few things to consider in order to get the best time:
- You don't need to use any other button, other than the X button (jump
button). Always hold down the X button!
- You have to finish first in the race to get your time count for time trial.
This means you can't wait for the enemies to clear first. They will not be in
your way anyway, so just start as prompted above.
- Don't touch any of the opponents.
- Get all the time boxes.
- Get all the speed boosts, except the last one behind a ramp. Avoid that ramp
too. The third last speed boost (just before a 3 sec time box) is pretty hard
to get, because you need to use the bumps (the uneven road just at the edge
of the pit) to jump to the speed boost. You also need some luck to get it.
- You should press the turn button before the turn begins in order to cut
corners and save more time, i.e. you should begin to turn pretty early. You
should do this in almost all the turns in this level.
Here are all the frozen times on a typical 41 seconds run. Allow some range
between 0.02 to 0.20 above or below each frozen time listed (except the first
one):
2.06; 5.84; 7.44; 17.64; 23.46; 26.68; 27.00; 35.30; 40.94

Right after you enter into this level (or after you restart trial), you should
start moving as soon as you can. Move to the left and roll down the hill, take
the clock and jump over the pit COMPLETELY, so you should roll down across the
bridge with fast speed. You should have 0.30 - 0.80 when you get the first time
box on the other side of the bridge.
Pass Tiny from above and avoid the spinning penguin. Quickly roll down the
hill, take all the time boxes while conserving your speed to go up the hill. On
top of the hill, use the fence (there is a 1 sec time box here) to go right
while conserving the speed and quickly roll and get all the time boxes on the
way. After getting the time box beside the small lake, your time should be
around 5 seconds. Roll over the penguin and pass the pit from the right side.
Get both 2 sec and 3 sec time boxes while going down the hill. Ignore the 1 sec
time box after this downhill. Instead roll directly to the 1 sec time box near
the first Dingodile. Using the bump on the ice, quickly go ahead while
conserving your speed. Alternatively, you may get the 1 sec time box after the
second downhill. If you roll as fast and as well as possible while conserving
your speed to the next 1 sec time box near the first Dingodile, you may save a
few milliseconds using this alternative method.
Pass both spinning penguins from their left while getting all the time boxes.
On the next section, roll quickly to the path on the left. Be careful, you
may get hit by the second Dingodile's fire quite often here. If you survive,
just quickly roll on this next ice path. Don't get hung up by the bumps on your
left, but get the time box here by touching the side of the box. Roll over and
get all time boxes. On the part where there are two bumps leading to a 3 sec
time box, just roll into the bump quickly and you will get launch to the time
box without losing too much time and speed.
If the timing is right, the first moving platform should lead you to the middle
platform. The second moving platform should also be in line with the middle
platform so just roll over all these platforms as fast as possible. If the
third moving platform is missing, i.e. is not in line with the other two, you
can still roll over to the other side if you roll very fast.
On the next part, just quickly roll without falling down to the ice while
taking all the time boxes. First, take the right route, then avoid blue beam
shot by N. Tropy and take the left route. Get the last 2 sec time box by
rolling pass the pits without being slowed down. If you are lucky, you can roll
pass the last big pit without being slowed down. Then just aim for the mist in
that exit portal. Note that you would often miss this exit mist, ruining your
great run... But if you succeed in getting to the exit, you should be able to
beat the Master Time.

First of all, get yourself a golden Aku Aku mask. You can find one at the
running part just after the first enemy that shoots green things at you. There
is an Aku Aku box up high. You can get it by double jump after bouncing from
the spring crate below. Restart trial and do this again to get a golden Aku Aku
mask. Alternatively, you can get this from another level which is NOT
recommended.
Once you have the golden Aku Aku, restart trial. Wait for a moment before you
start to get a correct timing for the later part of the level. Now, start time
trial by touching the very top side of the clock. Quickly spin all the time
boxes once without being stopped by them. Spin normal crate that is in your
way. Avoid the green lasers and spin the 2 sec time box after that. Then do a
tornado spin to destroy the many boxes including the time boxes there. Time
should be 1.10 - 1.70 here. Avoid green lasers and cut corners. Spin the
remaining time boxes. When you get the last time box on copter pak part, your
time should be 11.20 - 11.70.
Now on to the running part. If the timing is right, the fire from the side
should just come out when you land on the platform, so when you get there, the
fire should just cease and so you can cut corner, saving almost half a second.
Pass through the enemy on the side where he is not shooting at. Don't lost your
Aku Aku here. Avoid all hazards. Spin the time box under the iron boxes, then
quickly double jump to break the 2 sec time box from its bottom. Quickly small
jump to the conveyor belt and do another small jump as the belt is moving
against you. Spin the 1 sec time box, then quickly double jump to get the 3 sec
time box up high without being stuck behind a flying normal crate. Then run on
the left side, small jump the pit and spin the invincibility crate to pass
through all the green lasers. Do a normal jump to break the flying 3 sec time
box from its bottom. Avoid the enemy.
Just before you enter into the tube, do a double jump and spin to get the 1 sec
time box up high. You should land on a spring crate and being bounced up again.
While bouncing up, move a bit to the front and so you can spin both Aku Aku
crate and 3 sec time box at the same time. With your invincibility, the spring
crate should get destroyed when you land on it.
The crusher should not block your way if the timing is right. Quickly run
through the tube with your invincibility. Get the next time box, small jump
over the pits and the invincibility should end when you finish taking both time
boxes on the next side scrolling section. Run through the X-ray tube, getting
all time boxes and don't get hit by anything. The last crusher may block you
for a second so you can slow down a bit while jumping over all the nitros and
try not to get hit by the mad scientist.
Then spin the Aku Aku box to get another invincibility. Crash through all the
boxes after the tube, small jump over the pit and small jump on the conveyor
belt as it moves against you. Your invincibility should last until after you
crash into the nitro and time box stack.
In the next tube, get the invincibility crate and pass through all the green
lasers. Remember to do a small jump on the belt that moves against you. Then
quickly run and small jump over some more pits to finish the level. If you get
hit by something here, you may waste a few milliseconds, but it is going to be
alright and you would still have a chance to beat the Master Time if you don't
get hung up too long in the crushers.

First of all, get yourself a golden Aku Aku mask. There is an Aku Aku box
just before the ice part and another one right before the skiing part.
Once you get the golden Aku Aku, restart trial and notice that there are 4
apples near the clock. You have to kick the fourth one and throw it into the
clock (see video on link #1 for visual aid). This is very hard to do, so if you
are getting frustrated that you can't get this done, then you may want to try
to kick the third apple instead. The third apple method is easier, but is a bit
slower.
When you start, quickly jump to the spring crate to get the time box up high,
then kick while falling down to destroy all the boxes below including the time
box and spring crate. Then avoid the spinning penguins and ice skaters. Kick
the two time boxes, then jump on top of the TNT to crack the time box.
Alternatively, you can do a normal jump then just kick the time box on top of
the TNT. The alternative way is faster.
Normal jump to the second platform, then small jump to the ground on the other
side. Then do two small jumps to pass the next set of platforms. Kick the time
box and jump to the spring crate. Remember to press X (jump button) exactly at
the time you land on the spring crate so your jump will be higher. Move to the
front a bit while jumping to kick both Aku Aku box and the time box with one
kick. With your invincibility, you should not get bounce up again.
Then quickly slide on the ice and just crash into any box in your way with your
invincibility. Jump twice to cut corners. Your invincibility should finish when
you have done sliding on ice. Pass the nitro from the left and ignore the Aku
Aku box on the other side. Then kick the last time box before you go skiing.
Time should be around 25.50 - 26.50 seconds now.
Onto the skiing part. There is nothing much to say here. Just cut corners,
don't get stuck, get all the time boxes and don't get hit by nitros more than
once. There are two tricky bits. The first one is at the part where there are
two nitros and a time box after that. It's quite difficult to not get hit by
the nitros, but with some practice you should be able to do this. Getting hit
by nitros will only slow you down a few milliseconds so it should not be a
problem. The second tricky part is at the two 1 sec time boxes where there is
also a small hill. You may miss one or both time boxes if you don't know that
there is this small hill, so move accordingly as if there is a folding space
there. Again, with practice you should be able to do this easily.
When you finish skiing, quickly run to the exit portal. I think running on the
left side of the nitro switch box is a bit faster than the way shown in the
video (link #1) but the chance of getting stuck is higher. Then once again, you
need some luck so you would get into the mist in the exit portal as soon as
possible, otherwise you may waste a lot of time and ruin your run - and this
happens quite often.
Congrats on beating another Master Time!

First of all, get yourself an Aku Aku mask (NOT golden Aku Aku). If you haven't
got any, you can start the time trial, and get your Aku Aku on the first monkey
bar. Once you have an Aku Aku mask, restart trial.
To start off, go stand behind the first few boxes you see in this level. From
there, use your bazooka to shoot the clock. It should be easy to do this.
Quickly spin the time box and normal jump to the next platform. Then spin
another time box and small jump to the next platform.
Run pass the iron spring crate and do a small double jump instead. The purpose
of this is to get as far down the monkey bar as possible because you move VERY
SLOWLY while hanging. Quickly spin the 3 sec time box. Time should be 2.10 -
2.80 now.
Move along the bar. Spin the time box AND Aku Aku box with one spin. Ignore the
two 2 sec time boxes on the left because taking them is actually slowing you
down! Time should be 9.10 - 9.80 now.
Still hanging, move to the left way. Then, when the robot comes close to you,
quickly press X (jump button) to get off from the bar. You should touch the
robot while falling down, so you will lose an Aku Aku mask... BUT now you can
walk on the "invisible floor" below. Quickly double jump and spin the 2 sec
time box before your "invincible-after-taking-hit" wear off. Spin the next time
box and an Aku Aku box.
Now, small jump to the bottom electric monkey bar (don't hang). Do a normal
jump and spin the two 1 sec time boxes with one spin. Then, touch the nitro to
get all the time boxes. Jump to get 1 sec time box soon after that. Note that
you don't really need to care about the electric in this part because you are
going to get hit once anyway. BUT, don't use all your Aku Aku. Use one only.
Then, from the right of the last iron boxes on the bottom monkey bar, do a
small double jump to get to the next platform, preferably without touching the
top monkey bar. Get the time boxes. Then normal jump to the mech. Time should
be 22.00 - 22.90 now.
Walk on the right side, getting a time box and avoid the mad scientist. Then
quickly shoot the nitro up high to make a way for you. Do a normal jump to pass
the iron boxes. Keep walking on the right side. Get all the time boxes here and
break Aku Aku box. Keep walking on the right side, ignoring the 1 sec time box
on the left. Then, get all time boxes and avoid all hazards.
At the part where there are many nitros and scientists, just touch one of the
nitro and everything will be gone. Moving on quickly and don't get hit by
anything. On the last iron box stack, you don't have to shoot anything, just
jump from the right side and get the 2 sec time box behind.
By the time you get the first time box in the box stack on the side scrolling
section, the time should be frozen until the end. Jump over all the pits and
get all time boxes. Just crash the nitro, losing your Aku Aku to move faster.
To get the 3 sec time box up high, you need to bounce from the enemy below.
Then move on, and don't forget there is a pit right before the exit portal. If
you are not careful, you may fall down.
Alternatively, you can use your Aku Aku in the first iron box stack while on
the mech, but be very careful at the end, because if you don't time your jump
precisely, you may still get hit by the nitro in the side scrolling section
later on. This alternative method is a lot harder but is a bit faster.
Congrats! You have just beaten Master Time in one of the most annoying level in
this game!

o------------o
Before we start, just remember that there is a "black hole" bug in this level.
You can't see it, but once you get there, you will die with no apparent reason
even when you have 100% health. Its approximate location is shown below:
........3........
.................
..........xxxx...
.................
..............1..
.2...............
........C........
.................
...........S.....
S = where you start
C = clock to start time trial
xxxx = the "black hole" bug
Note: NOT TO SCALE
So, basically we are forced to destroy the satellite in the order I have put
because you can't go from 1 to 3 (there is a "black hole").
To get the best time, you need to destroy the red satellites from 1 to 2 to 3
while getting few time boxes on the way, then get all time boxes when you shoot
the blue satellite, also from 1 to 2 to 3. Be careful when you go back from 3
to 1 because you may get suck into the black hole if you didn't destroy the red
satellited on 3 fast enough.
However, there is a VERY BIG glitch in this level, so you don't actually have
to do anything above.
Basically you can destroy all the red satellites (all nine - three on each)
before shooting the clock to start the time trial, but you have to CRASH into
them (instead of shooting them). This will cost you 25% health for each red
satellite, so just get some health boxes in between. There are 4 health boxes,
so if you get 50% health from each (by shooting the box, not the balloon - see
next paragraph), you will have more than enough health to crash all nine! Just
be careful not to crash any meteor (cost you 30%) or any other enemies' planes
(cost you 25%).
Here are some information about the health balloon:
+50% health if you shoot the box from far away
+25% health if you shoot the balloon
+1 Life if you shoot the box when you are too close
+1 Life if you crash into the box (without shooting)
So, you will start the time trial with only 75% health if everything went
perfectly (after crashing to all nine, and getting 50% health from all health
boxes). Therefore, you can actually survive two suicide enemies and a few
bullets. Don't shoot other normal crates before the time trial start because
they will turn into time boxes! The enemies can be annoying but you must bear
with them, and also you still need to avoid that "black hole".
Note that the clock will disappear if you shoot the red satellites, so you will
not be able to start time trial. That's why you should crash into them instead
of shooting them.
BUT there is another BIG GLITCH. You can shoot and destroy the blue satellites
and the clock will still be there. This means, with full exploitation of this
glitch, when you start the time trial there will be only one almost-destroyed
blue satellite you need to shoot at!
To get the best time, you should destroy all the blue satellites, except no 2.
Shoot 2 a few times until you feel that you almost destroy it. Then from there,
go in the direction of the clock, then from as far as possible, quickly shoot
the clock, turn around and shoot the closest time box (NOT the balloon) as soon
as possible. Then get few more time boxes before destroying the satellite, just
to make sure the time stays frozen.
Alternatively, you can shoot at the blue balloonish thing (NOT the box) that is
closest to the clock just before you turn around and shoot the clock. The box
takes about 5 seconds to fall from the blue balloon and break at the bottom.
Shoot the clock RIGHT BEFORE the box breaks so you get the time freeze! If you
have done this properly (and are really lucky like Slazzy), the box will break
JUST when the clock was shot, giving you a frozen time of only about a few
milliseconds. You may even have a chance to get the LTP (2 milliseconds)!
Quickly shoot down all the nearest time boxes to keep the time freeze before
shooting down the last blue satellite to keep the record!
Thanks to Slazzy for this insanely fast (but difficult!) alternative way.
Note that you need 40 shots to destroy a blue satellite, so if you want just a
single shot to complete the level, you can just shot the last satellite 39
times by counting each shot or just look at your wumpa numbers (since you get 1
wumpa for each shot to the satellite).
DONE! You should beat the Master Time quite easily with full exploitation of
this glitch!
Just some information to those who don't like to glitch their way to get the
best time in this level: my best time without using any part of this glitch was
35.54 seconds.

First of all, get yourself a golden Aku Aku mask. It isn't necessary, but may
be helpful if you have one or two Aku Aku. You can get one Aku Aku just before
the second jellyfish line. Then restart trial and go there again to get the
second one.
Before starting the time trial, go and destroy the two blue tentacles near the
clock. Then go to the hole where the first tentacle was, and from there shoot
the clock while moving to get the first few time boxes nearby (see video on
link #1 for visual aid). Get all time boxes and keep moving. On the next
tentacle, just drop a torpedo as soon as you pass on it so the tentacle will
not touch your machine and you can keep on moving. Avoid all dropping anchors
and get all time boxes. Time should stay frozen at 0.02 - 0.20.
Next, shoot the swimmer and drop a torpedo into the iron box opening below to
destroy the nitro and so also destroy all the time boxes there. Shoot the fat
fish and get the time box. Don't get the Aku Aku because it wastes time.
Moving on, avoid all hazards, shoot some fish, get all time boxes, drop torpedo
to time boxes below. Shoot the last few anchors and now you should get to the
swimming part of the level. Remember to keep pressing X (jump button) and
square (spinning button) continuously while swimming.
Quickly spin the first time box you see. From here on, the time should be
frozen for the rest of the level. Get all time boxes and the two Aku Aku boxes.
You may get invincibility here, but it doesn't really make any differences
since the time would still freeze until the end anyway. That's why you don't
need to start the trial with a golden Aku Aku.
Keep on swimming. Get ALL the time boxes. Don't forget the secret chamber to
the left just after the second drop down. There are 15 seconds worth of time
boxes there! You may lose your first Aku Aku on the iron boxes with two 1 sec
time boxes in between. Spin through and you will lose your Aku Aku or just spin
then quickly move back and go on top of the falling iron boxes. Only do the
second way if you don't have a Golden Aku Aku mask because the second way is
slower. However, if you haven't made too many mistakes, the time should still
freeze until the end.
On the next part, there are two time boxes you may not see; they are hidden
inside the tall green sea grass. Spin them both. Then, you may lose your second
Aku Aku on the last falling anchor. If you don't have an Aku Aku for whatever
reasons, you can wait for the anchor to fall first before moving down. If you
haven't made too many mistakes in the early part of the swimming section, the
time should still freeze until the end.
Note that you can make a few mistakes (possibly around 3 to 5 seconds worth of
mistakes) in the swimming part as the time will still freeze until the end
anyway, e.g. the video (on link #1) has several mistakes, but the time still
freeze when he finished. But don't make too many mistakes! You should be able
to beat the Master Time in no time.

o------------o
First of all, get yourself a golden Aku Aku mask. You may also want to get just
one Aku Aku mask. If you decided to get a golden Aku Aku mask, you MUST get hit
by something (most likely the spinning fan) before the first monkey bar.
Otherwise, you will get an invincibility and the "invisible floor" glitch will
not work.
To get the two Aku Aku boxes, just start a time trial and there is one Aku Aku
box inside the 5 TNTs just before the first spinning fan, and another one is
located just before the first monkey bar.
To start off time trial, stand beside the first box and shoot the clock from
there. Then quickly spin this box which has now turned into a time box. Then
get all the time boxes nearby. Do a small jump over the pit. Get all three time
boxes beside a TNT with one spin (plus the robot if it is in the way). Do
another small jump. Then do a normal jump to the time box, another normal jump
over the pit to the next time box and double jump to get the time box up high.
Run on the right side of the enemy and run towards the spinning fan, ignoring
the Aku Aku box and 5 TNTs on the left side. If the fan is spinning, slide on
its left or right side. You may lose an Aku Aku here which is to be expected.
If you don't lose an Aku Aku here (and you bring in a golden Aku Aku mask), you
need to crash into the next scientist so you won't get invincibility from the
next Aku Aku box.
Spin all boxes on the enemy's left, then do a small jump while touching the
robot so you can walk on an "invisible floor". Then quickly jump to the second
iron boxes platform. From the end of the platform, do a small jump again while
touching the robot so you can walk on another "invisible floor"!
Quickly jump to the next platform and do a tornado spin to get all the time
boxes at the back and front. Small jump over the pit and small jump to the
spring crate to get the 3 sec time box up high. Normal jump to TNT which will
bounce you to the next platform. Do a double jump and quick tornado spin to get
all the flying time boxes. Then do a small double jump to pass the pit without
hanging onto the bar.
On the next section, small jump over all the pits while getting all the time
boxes and avoid all hazards. The time should still freeze at 6.40 - 6.90 here.
Then small jump on the first two green lasers, and slide under the third one.
Do normal jumps to pass the next two green lasers from the right side, followed
by a small jump over another laser and just slide under the next one. Get the
invincibility crate and just blast through all the lasers. You may want to spin
an Aku Aku box here, but it wastes almost half a second by taking it. Either
way, you need to pass some spinning fans after that. The frozen time you get
after breaking the first time box under the first spinning fan is the time you
should have at the end. If you didn't get the Aku Aku box previously, don't
touch any part of the fans even while they are not spinning, because then you
would die and need to restart trial! You need some luck so the fan does not
spin when you pass there (like in the video on link #1). If you choose to get
an Aku Aku, you can slide under the fan while it spins.
On the last part where there are many nitros and one green laser, if you don't
have an Aku Aku, you may want to double jump just to make sure you don't touch
any. The time will still freeze if you have done everything correctly. If you
still have an Aku Aku (not getting hit by the fan), you can just normal jump
pass everything. Then double jump and spin the 3 sec time box up high. Quickly
run to the exit portal to save your record!

First of all, get yourself a golden Aku Aku mask. One Aku Aku mask is fine.
However, you must not get hit if you only have one Aku Aku mask (getting hit
will slow you down anyway, so one Aku Aku may be preferable by some).
You need to shoot the clock with the bazooka from the box stack nearby. When
the time trial started, spin all the boxes with one spin and also do a double
jump to break the time box up high.
Avoid all enemies (only spin if they are on your way - note that spinning
wastes a few milliseconds). Get all time boxes. Go pass the nitros from the
right side. Small jump to the first platform on the lava. Then do another small
jump, followed by a normal jump, and another small jump to the solid ground.
Keep moving, and do only small jump.
Do a normal jump to pass the blue pipes. You can do small jump but the timing
is pretty hard to do. Ignore the Aku Aku box, but just double jump and spin the
time box up high. Next, do a small/normal double jump with or without a tornado
spin, depends on where the moving platform is. Avoid nitros and spin the time
box. The time should be 29.50 - 30.50 here.
Keep on moving. Get the time box and Aku Aku box. You may go invincible here,
but it doesn't make any significant difference. Then, you must not get hit by
the falling ball. Spin the 1 sec time box, then immediately double jump to the
top platform. Do two double jumps up the stairs and a small jump at the end.
Then get invincibility here. Do small jumps over all the pits. Get the two time
boxes up high with one jump. Then do a couple of small jumps to the other side
of the lava flow. You can crash into the nitro or just run on its right side.
Get the remaining time boxes. And then, quickly run to the exit portal.
With this strategy, you should be able to beat the Master Time!

| STRATEGY |
o------------o
First of all, get yourself a golden Aku Aku mask. There is one Aku Aku box up
high near the beginning. Restart trial to get two. Then restart trial again to
start a proper time trial run.
Stand just beside the two stacked boxes near the start. From there, shoot the
clock with bazooka and quickly spin the boxes that have now turned into time
boxes. Then, avoid spiky balls and run on the right side to avoid the bird.
Slide into the two 1 sec time boxes to avoid getting blown up by the two TNTs.
Then do a double jump and spin both time box and Aku Aku box with one spin.
With invincibility, blast through all the enemies and time boxes, also small
jump over all the pits. Time should be 10.10 - 10.50 when your invincibility
runs out.
On the side scrolling section, spin the time box, small jump over a TNT and
then spin a donkey on your way. Then do a normal jump to the time box and
bounce to the time box up high. Time should be around 13 seconds now. Get the
next two time boxes by using tornado spin, then quickly jump to the second
platform while still spinning (different from video on link #1). From there, do
a small double jump to the fourth platform and a small jump to the ground.
Keep on running and normal jump pass the nitro line. Then do a double jump and
spin both time box and Aku Aku box up high. You should now have invincibility
again. Time should be around 18.70 - 19.10 seconds here. Small jump over the
pits and crash into time boxes with your invincibility.
Now here is one of the trickiest parts in this level. Do a small double jump to
get as far as possible on the monkey bar. Your invincibility should crack the 2
sec time box on the monkey bar before it runs out (different from the video on
link #1). Then quickly drop down to the sand platform and do a small jump to
get the next 2 sec time box. Ignore the 1 sec time box. Instead, do a small
double jump again to get as far as possible on the next monkey bar (different
from video on link #1). Move towards the 2 time boxes at the front and spin
both boxes while dropping to the next sand platform. Do a small double jump
over the next pit and avoid touching the bar.
Now jump to the push mine-cart and keep pressing X (jump button) to move the
cart faster. You should have around 34 to 35 seconds when you take the last
time box on the cart. After the cart, do a small double jump again to the bar.
Spin the normal crate, time box and the enemy once each. Drop down to the
platform below and do a small jump to get to the other side without touching
the next bar. Quickly spin the normal crate that is in your way before landing
and also the time box. Time should be around 39 to 41 seconds here.
Keep on running. Don't lose your Aku Aku here. Slide under the TNT to get time
box and invincibility. Then keep running and do a double jump to get the 3 sec
time box up high. Alternatively, you can slide jump to break this time box from
its bottom but it is very easy to miss. Slide jump method is faster. Do another
double jump (or slide jump - this time slide jump should be easier and faster
too) to get invincibility (again). Get all the time boxes and keep running,
crashing everything with your invincibility.
When you start going up the slope, do a double jump and get the two time boxes
up there. Then, double jump up the platform ignoring the iron spring crate and
just slide below the TNT to get the 1 sec time box. The time should be around
50 to 55 seconds here. Note that the time will only move around 1 to 3 seconds
more from here on. Now there are two methods to finish off the level. Choose
one.
First method, you can do a small jump to the monkey bar and spin the enemy
while hanging on the bar. Spin the time boxes and small jump over a pit. Then
do a normal jump followed by a quick tornado spin to the platform on the right
side of the monkey bar where there are an Aku Aku box with a couple of time
boxes. This should give you invincibility. Do a double jump straight to the 3
sec time box ahead. And with the invincibility, crash all the nitros and TNTs
on your way. Get the 2 sec time box above the bouncy box and wait until the
invincibility finishes before you can continue.
Second method, you can do a small double jump so you can get to this monkey bar
as far as possible. You would get hit by the crab, losing one Aku Aku mask.
Then spin the time boxes. Small jump over a
