Room	Beginner Strat	Advanced Strats	Notes
SC-04	Beginner	Advanced	Ropedart climbing is optional for the beginner strat. In the advanced strat, to avoid taking damage to the fire Kappa, go neutral during the ropedart climb below it.
SC-05	Beginner		Try to go right as soon as possible to make the cycle more consistent. It's OK to take damage on the ring if you get boosted to the right.
SC-06	Beginner	Right-Side Optimal	Right-side strat is in between the beginner and optimal strats. Using the shuriken ropedart for the right-side strat is optional, but without it you'll have to ropedart 1 tile lower.
Stalactite Transition	Beginner	Advanced	For the beginner strat, use damage recovery if the ring damage pushes ninja to the right. If you miss the transition one-tile for the advanced strat, you can float back into the previous room and hit the stalactite again. The Advanced strat can be made more consistent by slashing before you ropedart the stalactite to get float, which makes lining everything up easier.
SC-12	Beginner	Advanced	For the beginner strat, hold right to avoid taking damage from the fire kappa. Ropedart climbing is optional for the beginner strat, but without it it's harder to ropedart the middle stalactite, so usually the platforms are just jumped across to ropedart the leftmost stalactite. Doing the kick beginning of the advanced strat is optional. You can also ropedart the stalactite instead of the lantern at the end.
SC-15	Beginner	Advanced	You can either ropedart or slash the green kappa on transition, the distinction is mostly due to preference for what makes getting up to the ledge easier.
SC-16	Beginner	Advanced	You can ropedart the lantern at the end of the room if the enemy doesn't spawn in high enough.
Teleport	Beginner	Optimal	See teleport page for details on how to execute the technique in general.
SC-17	Left Side	Advanced	One-tile is optional in the advanced strat.
