Quick notes

Separate transformations from carried equipment. A Super Bell changes the hero’s moves.
Keep Double Cherry copies together. Clones follow the same input, so walls and obstacles can separate them.
Use Cat movement for vertical exploration. Climbing can reveal routes beside the main path and help with a final flagpole.
Protect the needed ability. If a stamp or star route requires a particular tool, slow down until that section is complete.

Useful tip

Climbing can reveal routes beside the main path and help with a final flagpole. Check whether a wall is safe to approach before committing.
