This is an alternate way to run the Blue Ring route. The advantage here is that you skip some of the harder Tectite screens that cause you to go low on life on the way to Level 1. You also get one less heart as you skip the raft heart in order to save some time. You are still able to get the Magic Sword at the appropriate time though.
Please refer to the Blue Ring Route page for maps of the levels and video guides.
