Tip. After you clear a path on the oil path. Run in a circle to build up some momentum before you run. Helped a lot.

Glad to see that I wasn’t the only one that hated this challenge level. The other three Square Voids are a cakewalk in comparison.

The frog shooting rockets is the most egregious and unnecessary shit in the history of video games.

[laggers]

I’d already cleared but throwing the duck at the start was genius i didn’t even think to do that.

One of the worst, most frustrating, unnecessarily difficult levels I’ve ever played in a platformer, and at the age of 41, I’ve played a lot of them.

Why is this literally the hardest level in the game lmao

[ryhanon]

I broke my wrist right before this game came out so I can't play it right now (can't even hold a controller at the moment) but man I just have to say - your style of walkthrough for this kind of thing is chef's kiss *perfect*. Breaking it down step by step in slow motion with pauses is a fantastic way to explain it all, then running it back in real time is just great.

Those flamethrowers are impossible to outrun! FUCK THIS LEVEL!!!

There's no way I could have beaten that level without this video, thank you for posting.

These are some of the best videos for this game. Slowing it down and explaining each part helped me out tremendously!

[luciddrem]

Absolutely love this game... But fuck this level lol

[trueblueCFC]

This. Fucking. Level has had me in a chokehold for the last 2 days, but I finally beat it somehow. Reading the comments I’m glad others found it difficult too 😅

This is the only level in the entire game that I actually had to exit and come back to due to its difficulty. I tried it again after playing some other levels and literally beat it on the first attempt. I was genuinely shocked.

This video randomly popped into my feed after already completing the level, and I feel so dumb for not thinking to throw the duck at that damn frog. I just ran all the way from the beginning of the stage to the end without stopping. It makes the part with the flamethrowers chasing you much harder since touching the goo for even an instant will slow you down enough to get caught by the flamethrowers.

YOU CAN THROW THE DUCK?! This would've helped so much, thank you!

[MoniDmajor]

Amazing walkthrough! I love that you showed us both, a slowed down/paused version with explaining as well as the full speed. Like most here I also didn’t know you can throw the duck

[City_Lights.]

I didn't even think to throw the duck at the enemies. This makes it so much easier. Thanks.

[neilmiranda]

You are a legend and a godsend for this! Finally, beat it following your guide. Throwing that duck is clutch.

One trick I picked up in the last game; at the very end of your jump, do an attack. You get an extra bit of time in the air. It helped a lot in this level

[chrisbird]

Thank you for this slowed explication. I definitely could not have done it without these step by step instructions. Appreciate you!!!

This is the 1 video that finally explains a viable strategy. Thanks for the breakdown!
