- Straightaway
- Waddle further to the left than the reset spot before starting, to line up a better path.
- Boost immediatly; you can also rev the boost a moment before hitting play to save a split second of acceleration.
- Jump off the rock at the cliff after the jungle, and perform a air trick (using Space) to gain some endurance.
- Boost on the stretch going northward. You can use Bond of Vigor after.
- Westward
- Boost again when replenished after the north-eastern turn.
- Hold a moderate speed through the western cave loop to avoid crashing.
- Drifting is not required with a wide enough turn, but will allow you to have more speed.
- A crash will cost a lot of time because of the little room to re-boost.
- Boost upon exiting the cave to regain your speed, picking up the endurance orb if you want to.
- Valley
- Jump over the boat, avoiding its masts.
- Upon landing, immediately turn right, directly into a left turn.
- It's easy to crash into the walls if either turn isn't performed quickly enough.
- Boosting in this section can be better to avoid, because of the tight handling required.
- It may also require the endurance orb or Bond of Vigor to regain endurance in time for the shore skip.
- Zig-zag through the corners.
- Southern shore
- Boost upon turning left along the shore.
- Keep your speed high to go straight ahead for a water skip, threading the needle across the shipwreck deck.
- Your beetle will only perform a couple skips with enough speed, keeping momentum for the final turn.
- Stay on the beach around the southern cape, as the water is immediately deep. Drifting may be required depending on speed retained.
- Boost after turning the corner. The endurance orb can be picked up mid boost to get a final tiny boost before the finish line.
- Tips
- Weave and bob inbetween the many small rock faces and stones along the path, as each little nick will cost you speed.
- Avoid any wading depth waters, as it significantly reduces speed and may grind you to a halt.
- Many shallow parts are deceptively deep, especially along the eastern shore and in the valley.
- Careful with some of the small mounds, as they may launch you above a checkpoint.
- Using the endurance orbs is not required for a gold reward, and may instead bait you into crashing or going for a swim.

I'm going for speed.
