Geothermal Jaunt Advanced: Gold

I know why you are here it is the most stupid obstacle on any of the courses ,the go through the foundation of the small house is so annoying. The best advice I can give is to hold left that's where you have the most space to enter and then instantly go to the right of the metallic pipes. That should give you the best option to pass it and then it's a free gold.

I was having trouble until I started with whirling surge and zoomed in (which personally helps me avoid obstacles). I used a second whirling surge at the end straightaway but that probably wasn't necessary, there's plenty of green charges.

Short race, with timer tight enough that encourages some risk-taking. As commented, zooming in (or first person) can help avoid collisions. Timing [spell=372610] with the few rises in the course (or even "porpoising" between gates) will help buy some forgiveness if you clip into the obstacles and lose speed.
