I'm trying out my very first speedrun, just for the heck of it.
I have the first two levels of Donkey Kong Country 3 set up, and was trying the third. Problem? The way I want to do the third level involves Kiddy's water skip (a LOT faster than swimming, especially with the current) but I have trouble getting him to make all three jumps of the skip.
For reference, this is what I've got so far (it stops after two skips in the first instance where having three would actually help):

And this is the save state for RIGHT BEFORE the skip is attempted:

And, yes, I know the run ain't perfect (I'm a bit clumsy in dodging a bee in Doorstop Dash, and didn't realize just how bad it looked until I had already overwritten any useful save states.) Don't even tell me about the Warp barrels; I'm not using them in this run (because every level save one in the first two areas have them, and it would be boring.)
