Donkey Kong Country Returns - 2-1 Poppin Planks 52.54 / 58.74 (shiny gold)

Two runs in tandem: 52.5 with both shortcuts and 58.7 without them.
This is a tough level to get Gold on and I wanted to see if the Shiny Gold requirement (under 59.01) was possible without the shortcuts. It turns out it's possible but only by a small margin. I think Retro intended for us to have to use the second shortcut.

Awesome run Alex. How could you risk jumping off that Tiki at :34 seconds (youtube time)? The odds of getting a high jump (with momentum) with Diddy are so low.

@packattack04082 I very often fall through the pier if I don't >=(

I have had that happen too but it didn't happen to me very often anymore after I got decent at the level.

Really amazing runs :D

That level looks very tricky, have avoided playing that yet.
