Get Red Essence from hidden chest on first screen
For 2nd screen, you can either reveal the platform and then fire onto it (standard & safe method) or fire straight from the cannon into dog pit and dodge dogs (risky)
For Gecko area, you can either wait for geckos to walk off, platform around them, or edgewalk.

Technique: Edgewalk around geckos
You can tightly walk on the edge of the gecko platforms to avoid colliding with them.

Technique: Fortune Skip
Go to the corner, then walk (don't dash) by tapping up for about ~2-3 frames. Start running northwest, and jump very late when you approach the wall to get on the shaman's head (he will force you off if you don't do this precisely). Then, jump onto the statue's notes. This saves you 50 coins and a big chunk of time time if you can do it consistently.
If you didn't freebie a Croaka Cola on Speardovich and sell it, grab some coins from the first chest after the fortune room. Get 40 if you fought three Shoguns, but only get 10 if you fought four Shoguns.
Keep reloading the final fortune room and hitting it until you get "Mmm, I'm so hungry! Wish I had something to eat!"
