I've learned to pretty consistantly run stage 1.

Running in circles, I feel like I should be able to do it, but I've not done it yet. Red path seems to be most likely for me. I know some folks run the tight yellow path, and jump to make it even shorter and faster, but I don't see that.

Turning in gems, that blue side. THAT BLUE SIDE. Wow. Pure evil. And yet, I feel like if I could just get gud, I might actually pass it.

Seen third stage, never been in it. 8 people in a mad dash for the end...
