Stationed here, the most evil mini-boss of the game. King Cacatac and his machine gun!

Any% (KPDR and PRKD)

The standard ascent goes up the left side, but the right side is slightly faster. It's much more difficult, but in PRKD this is helped by Ice Beam allowing you to backup by freezing the Waver to use as a platform.

Leaving Bat Cave to Single Chamber

Aim down fixes the transition but the bottom waver near the Last Norfair Missile of 100% causes extra lag, so it isn't advised.

100%

This strat will kill King Cac so he can't knock you down.

This variation can give you an extra drop:

Randomizer

To get to the Green Bubbles Missile Room, the fastest method from the Bat Cave is a damage boost from the waver.

You can also do an Infinite Bomb Jump, or a delayed walljump, as shown here.

Technically it's also possible to jump from the right side to the left, but the window for this jump is small, so it's likely TAS-only.
