Pinna 3

Pinna 3 is a highly technical level where you collect the red coins in the park.

This level has a two version differences.

  • JP and NTSC-U/PAL have very slightly different ending electrokoopa cycles, losing JP about 0.5s at optimal level (31.xx IL time).
  • You can hover after being shocked by an electrokoopa in JP only.

Entrance

Entering the park is the same as Pinna 1, 3, 7, and 8.

One Slide

-Tap jump, then dive.
-Instead of performing a rollout, bellyhop (press B) directly after which leads into a waterslide.

To get through the entrance with a single slide requires some maneuvering between obstacles. The image above highlights two main points to avoid bonking off. The easiest way to do this is by first leaving a bit of space between Mario and the wall. After sliding past the forward-facing section of the wall, you can then hold the control stick forward and in toward the wall. Once Mario is sliding against the side you should be able to slide through freely without bonking. Notice that holding in towards the walls also help to avoid bonking on the further ahead wall and noki at the entrance.

Manipulating the Electrokoopas - Click for Details

You need to Y turn while grabbing the 5th coin in the same way each time, in order to manipulate the electrokoopas. They start moving the second you look at them. It is recommended to turn straight right.

There are some different variations you can do for the TAS Strat detailed below.

Second Boat - Click for Details

Second boat can be dismounted either aggro (Tip of the Ship) or safe (Side of the Ship).

Coin Clip - Click for Details

Coin Clip (7th coin) is a difficult trick that saves around 2.0s and is largely feel based. The edges of the ramps (the wood) do not have collision, allowing you to clip inside these green grates.

Coin Clip can be done on Left Side or Right Side (preference).
