To be fair, the first one is just straferunning that is a kinda old knowledge. The one with the vines could be confusing but if Im not mistaken there's little use of stairs or vines use appart from maybe the first map.

Not to mention that some bouncing blocks will still send you where you need to go even with minimal speed, but others wont.
This one is actually a good tip to have in mind, the music blocks are sometimes difficult to use, specially while crossing abyss of some sorts. Still at this point the Old good Golden Souls is kinda old to have a manual made for new players, since the plattforming is mostly basic appart from the examples you mentioned.
