Don't bother spinning up at the start, it's unnecessary. Take out the two barrel stacks first (top right then top left), making sure to knock them all down, then go down to the left point tyre. Try to time the approach to sneak past, get the tyre, then sneak out again. Once through, head through the car door, and time an approach for the 75pt target. Once through, hit the multiball before going for the final 50pt target. Once those are done, we'll probably be low on time, if there's any left at all, so just try to corral some of the multiball balls into the pit, punting them with a quick spin-up if there's not enough time to drive them over.

I can't really see what's going on in the picture, so I'm not sure what the best order to go through this stuff is. Shrugs. If this is a bad order I'll switch it up on the fly I guess? :V

The Gourmet's going for the barrels first: I'll get as many as I can by just ramming into the two stacks. From there I'll grab the sphere in my mouth and drop it into the pit. I'll head over the see-saw (if I'm not too wide for it -- I shouldn't be as a lightweight I guess), drive through the car doors, and then try for the side wall tires. I should be fast enough to juke around the blockers. I'll then try for the rear tires if I have enough time left.
