Red-Hot Log Rolling is the fourth mission of Lethal Lava Land. Using wing cap is faster and easier, but wing cap is unavailable in 16 Star, where sidehop strats are used.

Wing Cap

Beginner

Basic movement. To get safely over the wall, be sure to maximise the takeoff triple jump by holding forwards + A until entering flight, at which point tap down-right, then steer.

Advanced

Double-jump dive from the box platform (with lenient spacing), speed-kick to maintain speed into takeoff triple jump.

Expert

Moving backwards against camera, sideflip into box, triple-jump dive from the box platform (with tight spacing for rollout).

Easy Camera

Long-jump to box platform. During fade-in, press R asap, and hold down-left. When Mario lands, press C-down; continue tapping C-down during idle time to prevent the camera from swivelling. As soon as Mario starts moving, hold down; this setup ensures Mario hits the box. Drifting right during the box sideflip makes the triple-jump dive spacing more likely to reach.

Optimal Camera

Jump dive to box platform; requires timing the stick input to line up the camera.
