Strategies

You know, these in-game minigame descriptions don’t always tell you everything you need to know. Look over our strategies section for lesser-known tips and secrets, especially those shared by the community!

  • Similar to Mario platforming games, you gain a jump boost if you press A right when you step on a plant. This way you can do all plants in waves with a single jump.
