couldn't make the jump to the monster on the tower im really bad a platformers i made it once but the monster knocked me off and i couldn't do it again
You have to dash two times from the pistons. The moves guide tells you how to perform a double dash in the air.
i figured it out seems i was doing it wrong i kept jumping jumping off the piston instead of dashing off
Ah, nice :D
is there a way i can skip the race?
No, but try to follow Leaf, you'll get it eventually
