Tips for Paratroopa Cliff Climbing
- Memorize the Paratroopa's positions and movements
- Set to default dash settings
- Be mindful of dash jumps
- The last Paratroopa can be skipped
Memorize the Paratroopa's Positions and Movements
The Paratroopa's positions and movements are fixed, not random. It's difficult to succeed by challenging blindly, so it's recommended to first memorize their positions and movements.
Set to Default Dash Settings
To reduce your time, dash jumps are necessary, so it's recommended to set it so you dash when no button is pressed. This is the default setting, so if you haven't changed it, it's OK
Be Mindful of Dash ⇒ Jump
To jump as far as possible, be mindful of jumping while dashing. If using the D-pad, press the left key firmly when moving left, and the right + down keys when moving right.
The Last Paratroopa Can Be Skipped
You can jump directly from the Paratroopa before the last one to the goal, so you can aim for a significant time reduction by ignoring the last Paratroopa. However, be aware that the final jump becomes quite tricky.

Location and How to Get to Paratroopa Cliff Climbing
May Not Appear Due to a Bug
After the event where you meet the 'Paratroopa' in Monstro Town, a bug may occur where the Paratroopa does not appear even if you go to Land's End. In this case, if you move to Mushroom Kingdom once and then return to Land's End, the Paratroopa will appear.
How to Get There for the First Time

|---|---|
| 2 | Enter the ant whirlpool in the desert 4 times |

| Note | Once visited, you can go directly from the map |
1. Go to Monstermama's house
Clear Belome Temple in the story and go to Monstro Town. Once in Monstro Town, go to Monstermama's house and talk to her to trigger the Paratroopa event.
2. Enter the ant whirlpool in the desert 4 times
Just like when going to Belome Temple, go to the desert in Land's End and enter the antlion whirlpool 4 times.
3. Take the upper left path to reach the cliff
After entering 4 times, you will reach a map with a path in the upper left. Proceed there to reach the Paratroopa cliff.
Once Visited, You Can Go Directly from the Map
After reaching it once, select 'Land's End' ⇒ 'High Cliff' from the map, and you can go directly to the cliff map.
