Bad Piggies Tusk ‘Til Dawn Level 5-16 can be 3-starred using a single contraption. From right-to-left, place a V8 engine, a soda bottle, the piggy, and an empty box. Place the powered wheel on the left side and a normal wheel on the right. Be careful toggling the power on and off, since too much speed will flip the cart. The soda bottle is best used when jumping from the second island toward the goal.

I found that a slight variation in the word strat worked better than the video. I placed the piggy in the left-most box and the powered wheel on the right. I did not toggle the wheel at all.
I’m confused; is your variation not toggling the wheel? Because the video has the piggy in the left-most box and the powered wheel on the right too.
Alternative contraption which gives more margin on the speed run (meaning it’s faster!). Top row: blank, small wheel, box, V8; bottom row: blank, blank, blank, big wheel. Need to be careful to back off the power before first drop so you hit the bottom curve smoothly, then remain back off again to get the star. Easy finish with 2-3 seconds remaining.
Oops, should have said: V8 on the right, piggy on the left.
I used 3 boxes with v8 at middle ,piggy in the right box, motorized wheel under the right box,the normal wheel under the left box and the soda bottle under the second box.
Finished with 14:86.
Starting right to left: box w/ V-8, empty box, soda bottle facing rear, box w/ pig, power wheel on right, regular on left. Hit he gas and trigger soda before last jump to goal. Worked every time, no toggling.
Cheers! I beat the time 1st time using this method!
