Description[]
This is a diamond-shaped floor. There is a hole in the middle of the diamond. At one end of the diamond is the start and a goal at the other. Behind the start is a ramp that will allow the player to get over the rail and onto a platform below with a green warp goal.
Goal Tutorial[]
Blue Goal[]
Roll around the hole in the middle of the stage. When past the hole, roll back towards the middle and into the goal.
Green Goal[]
Turn around, then roll up the ramp, slowing down at the top. Then, fall down onto a slim platform, where the green goal is located.
Score Strategy[]
Collect three bananas. Then, use the green goal warp for a double bonus.
Blue Goal[]
Attempt to speed into the blue goal to score well, and stay close to the hole but not too close.
Green Goal[]
Gain a bit of speed. Then, go backwards in a fast manner. Because you can fall off if you're not careful, be sure to control the ball well.
