Storval was initially my least favo(u)rite swim buddy, because I found it difficult to know where I wanted him to be in advance of his being there. It seemed to me a weird kind of character that follows your finger. It took me a while to figure out that I best know what to do with him if I keep my finger on top of him -- then I guide my finger through the scene. Another relative disadvantage of Storval is that there do not seem to be as many coins to collect when he appears. On the other hand, Storval is a great tool to:
a) bump seagull (icons): By holding him at the correct height, he bumps every seagull (icon) on his path. Collecting an invincibility prize beforehand makes it possible to stay on the water line longer.
b) dodge rocket crab (icons): By holding Storval at one particular height, the rocket crab (icons) will come at that height. As soon as the warning sign turns from yellow to red, move Storval just a fraction of an inch up or down, so that the rocket crab shoots just past the swimstar (icon) and not at it.
c) popping bubble (icons): Most bubbles are at or around the surface. Storval is the easiest swim buddy to hold at the water line and move to where the bubbles are.
In general, I find it easiest to navigate long distances with Storval, especially when he has the invincibility protection. He is my character of perference for most missions.
