Brief Description

• Using doors moves you a lot faster than running.

• Running
• Running while taking damage
• Jumping/Falling
• Bouncing off enemies

• Walking
• Swimming

Stage-by-stage comments:

CAT ON A HOT PINK ROOF:

• Nothing to really say about this level, it's just basic platforming.

PINKBEARD:

• I found a glitch in this level: When you crouch and jump in the right moment you can avoid being sqashed by the ship.
• I also found a shortcut: You can jump from the anchor on top of the ship.
• The anchor is based on a local timer.
• The position of the pirate on top of the ship is based on when you kill the two sharks.

JUNGLE PINK:

• I use a door here to get to the right faster.

PINKINHOOD:

• There's the highest bouncing off an enemy in this level. I use the guy who takes three hits to climb the tree.

REFRIGERATOR:

• I use the peas and bottle tops to skip a lot of the second refrigerator level.
• The bottle tops seem to be based on a global timer as well as your position.

PINK LEMONADE:

• I have to avoid getting to close to the drinking straws because they'd bring me to the beginning of the level otherwise.
• There's a huge amount of jellyfishes on the bottom of the level, but I managed to avoid killing most of them.

PINK CHILL:

• I have to slow down a few times in this level because of the snowman cycles and the small skiers.

PINK RANGER:

• Again a basic platforming level, I use one of the doors to save a bit of time.

HONEY I SHRUNK THE PINK:

• After the refrigerator I collect the trick above the level entrance. This is the traffic light which I use to speed up the final boss fight.

POLTERPINK:

• There's an interesting trick near the armchairs: Usually the ghosts spawn as soon as you pass a certain spot, however you can jump over that trigger to delay their spawning enough to just run through them.

PINKENSTEIN:

• I have to kill the monster after using the coin in order to make the bat fly slightly more to the right, just enough for me to jump without hitting it.
• The game wants you to walk on one of the heads over the water to reach the door on the right, however I managed to skip that by utilizing two health points.

FINAL BOSS:

• In order to unlock the final boss you have to complete all previous levels and sub levels.
• I managed to speed this fight up a lot by using a traffic light to freeze the boss. This way I can hit him 12 times in one cycle.
• Finally I use a funny trick: By bouncing off the boss high enough I hit the enemies on the level above. I would lose a life as soon as I touch the ground after that, but if I stay long enough in the air after the final boss is defeated the level will finish before that happens.
