This trick saves time in multiple speedrunning categories, since almost all categories progress through Top-Hat Tower.
This trick saves time in multiple speedrunning categories, since almost all categories progress through Top-Hat Tower. However, Left Side is not used in categories that require activating the checkpoint at the top of Top-Hat Tower, since the checkpoint is much less of a detour if one takes the ramp path to the right.


Full Left Side saves around two seconds over using the ramp on the right side, while partial Left Side saves only one second. This trick is usually not recommended for beginners due to its high difficulty and minimal time save.
