Speed Run Tip - Sand Oasis/Mission 3
Submitted by knuckles_sonic8
This guide lists tips for Sand Oasis, Mission 3 - Beat Uhu.
Speed Break is somewhat necessary for a good time here so pay attention. First things first, equip yourself with Rocket/Warp Dash. Mini-Turbo won't suffice so come back later if you have to. Also equip yourself with a Pearl-Collecitng ability as this'll help a bit with building up the Soul Gauge for a Speed Break.
Simply proceed down the building normally (do not jump at all in this area as this'll just ruin your run: I used to do that on Mission 1 when I had limited skills but once you attain to a certain level and have good skills, this is not a good idea). While traversing down the building be sure to grab all the Speed Boosts along the way as these also continue to appear along the main path. When you reach the part where the path switches to a far right turn and Pearls appear in Rings (requires you to jump to get all of them, depending on skills, again), DO NOT go for them. If you equipped yourself with a good Pearl Collecting aiblity, you should get at least 3 or 4 of the ones in the Pearl Rings. Continue to get the Boosts but once the pillars start popping up, perform a Speed Break whilst staying towards the Right. There is a hidden jar that contains a Spring that'll send you straight to the platformm you'd normally need to jump onto to get to the Goal. Performing the Speed Break at the right time is key because the amount of Pearls you have in your Soul Gauge could, in fact, run out before you even reach the jar (never happened to me but it is possible).
