If you start the match and don't get off the line quick enough, restart. If you make a bad jump and hit a ledge and have to climb instead of just jumping on it, restart. If your slide isn't perfect and you can't chain it instantly together with run several times in a row, restart.

Well, I quit the game after l failed to overcome an obstacle 20 times in a row...l still don't know how to do it...

I mean, there is a little bit of room for error in some of the levels, but in some of them, you have to do it perfectly or no cigar. I can't tell you how many times I have exploded with the finish line being two steps away.

Hard mode is timed BTW. You explode when your timer runs out. And they even added more obstacles for you.

Yay....well, this means that this game is a no-no for me, unless the guide that will come out is horrendously helpful...
Also, how do you meet the other contestants?

I only know of two contestants. One on the third tier and one on the fifth. They are basically people standing in places you don't need to ever go to. I don't know if those are the only two, because I haven't visited them both yet. Too busy trying to beat hard mode.

You already got platinum on Normal?Ugh, you should be the one writing the walkthrough (or even making a video)

No, apart from that fish head glitch not. What do you mean?

At 12/11/09 04:55 PM, portalwarpedJP wrote: also, has anyone gotten the "meet the participants" medal?

Some of the participants can only be found in hard mode. I found one in World 1 Level 6 on hard mode because there was a new brick that wasn't there in the other modes. It granted me access to a new part of the level and there he stood. The participants are the dudes that look like you with the red winner helmet and scarf. I'll make a video walkthrough for the participants medal and all levels on hard mode if anyone is interested and I'm done with hard mode. Unless someone else is already doing one, of course.

It could take a few days though, I'm at level 4 now but I don't know if I can play tomorrow. But I guess I'll finish it this weekend.

Man I love hard mode, there is gold or nothing. Makes it way easier, you don't have to worry after you reached the finish if you made it in time or not. In hard mode you know if you were too slow or not :D

I am currently at the last level. It is impossible. Well, not impossible, but pretty close to impossible. But yeah, the gold or nothing makes it a little easier. I have finished so many levels in under a second left. I think my record is 00.24.

This hard mode crap is insanely hard. This might be even harder to get than fucking Lastman... I have a feeling it'll take me a while.

there are participants that are only on hard? FFFFFFFUUUUUUU-
and clearing my cache didn't work; the game is there, right where i left it off. no tutorial medal.

When you're done collecting all the medals, just delete your save game data... and then you should be able to re-do it.

Finally got this done. Took forever. The last level is hell. And when you finally get to the top, if you're too close, the face shooting a box at you can also knock you down instantly. Had 6 seconds left.

Anyone having a problem with Miamishark? When i play it has alot of glitches and tat makes it really hard to get some of the medals? The shark will get stuck on the bottom or it will just not respond when i press any of the controls.. anyone else getting this?

this game is really píssing me off i cant even complete level 3 on hard

Well, could you please give us some tips for easy mode, because l either suck horribly at the game or you are horribly good at it (or both).

the ching chong game makes me want to smash my head in my fucking keyboard

Here's some tips for Ching Chong:

You've got three different 'jumps'. A high jump if you just press jump while you aren't/barely moving, a normal jump if you press jump while walking forward without running, and a long jump if you are running

If you jump in mud or water, you'll get wet. While wet, you're unable to run and fall of ledges into a roll. You can wipe yourself off by pressing Shift or A, or it will wear off on its own after a few seconds. You have a split second before you get wet, so it's possible to jump into water and straight out quickly without getting wet.

When running on slippy floors or landing onto ramps or slippy floors, go into a slide with the down arrow to maintain your balance and speed

For wall jumps, if you run towards the wall and press jump *right* before you hit it, you'll gain the most height as you scurry up the wall. You can also press down to cancel the scurry and fall.

When doing a running jumping to a platform, there are a bunch of possibilities:
- If your feet are above the edge, you'll land on it and keep running
- If your feet are slightly below the edge, you'll trip and roll onto the platform.
- If the edge is near your stomach area, you'll grab the edge and hop up, maintaining your speed. (This is an important sweet spot)
- If the edge is near your head, you will grab the edge and climb up to a stop.

There's one previous contestant in each world. They're in a random level in the world. They're not too hard to find, just keep your eyes open. :)

Easy mode is what it is. Just beat all the levels first. Then go back and gold what you can. When I started, I was bad. It took me many tries to gold star some easy level. Now I can go back and beat my old records by tons if I wanted to.

It's really a game that takes some getting used to.

And for those wanting to know about contestants. There are 5 in all. They can be done on medium mode. There is one in each tier.

1-6
2-4
3-2
4-5
5-1

They don't take much time to find, but a few are hidden pretty well. I think those are the correct level. Anyway, good luck to anyone trying hard mode. It took me a while to complete. Take it one level at a time, and no matter what you do, you will get frustrated a lot. You will also die many times with the exit on screen. In some cases, it's all about getting lucky and finding the perfect path.

I remember in one level I did my best and was 3 second away from the exit. The next few runs, I tried to be a little more daring and do things that were much harder and had less of a time opening to do, and ended up with 7 second left when I beat the level. You pretty much have to do things you think you don't have time to do when it comes to tier 5.

Thanks for the tips mike they really helped

ehh anybody else has noticed that u can change the number of bang wong fishhead boxes that u have?
use it while u can in hard mode i think later will be fixed

Thanks for the tips Mike, we'll add this to any walkthrough we make for sure. I already figured a lot of these out on my own though, it doesn't make the game much easier lol cause you still need to have good timing and all that crap.

Hard is just driving me insane...

As of tonight I can confirm that the "Someone set up us the bomb" medal from Drop the Bomb. is completely broken, not just glitched.

Old issue, I know, but it was rarely, if at all, tested because of the slim chance of 3 bombs in a row

Back in black
I hit the sack
I've been too long I'm glad to be back [I bet you know I'm...]
Yes, I'm let loose
From the noose

Out of the sight...

So much shit to catch up with... The medals AND the EGB

Those damn Colosseum levels are hard, and long, got 3, 5, 6 left until I got gold on all Medium levels. Then it's only hard left... For whoever writes a guide, don't just show clips of you jumping write when you hold down the A button and approximately where you try to jump/land.

What time do you need to complete level 5-6 under to get gold?

At 12/12/09 10:39 AM, Godliest wrote: What time do you need to complete level 5-6 under to get gold?

5-6 can be beat with a time around 1:25 pretty easily, which is gold. I just did it on normal. That was much worse than the score I have though. I remember having to try that level a lot of times.

Anyway, all the way up into the narrow wall jump area is a set time area. You can only go so fast. But once that second ledge moves out of the way, it's all you. What you want to do is get to the top as fast as you can, which will allow you to dodge the box being shot. Jog over to the ledge, jump onto the vertical moving ledges and then jump to the horizontal moving ledge.

Once on the ledge, immediately jump to the non moving small horizontal ledge. Here you will see another ledge that you have to crouch to pass. It has a blockade in the middle that you have to jump over. This all can be done in one shot without having to wait on the blockade, which saves you a large deal of time. Several seconds actually.

And once over that area, if you've done perfectly, the rest is cake. Just wall jump to the top near the horseman. Run and jump onto the wall and get the box, make sure you are as high as you can go when wall jumping to get the box, so you can instantly make it back onto the ledge with the second wall jump. Then just jog to the exit, or you can do the run/slide combo up the ramps. But that doesn't always work perfectly.

Took a break and tried it again and ran through it pretty nicely and all and got a time of 1:23, and a silver. And hovering over the level so I can see the fastest time it's indeed 1:23 and it's a silver. It's the only damn level I got on normal mode for platinum on all.

it's a really challenging game, but it's fun!
Really digging it so far, trying to get all gold on the medium section now

tried hard for one time and when I saw I suddenly bursted into flames, I was like "you cannot be serious, this is gonna be hard"

great game :D

Really? That is very odd. 1:23 got you a silver? Because to be honest, I got 1:23 and just rounded up to 1:25. Mine was gold when I tried just an hour or so ago.

Keep trying, you're close. My best time for that course is 1:13. I just don't know why I got gold for 1:23 and you didn't.

Hey, how come this guy has a high score on hard, but doesn't have the Hard Mode medal (you get platinums on hard mode for just completing the stages)?
I smell cheating...

...Or, perhaps his connection timed out before he finished hard, and so it didn't send the medal. Then, when he beat the final level for a second time, his high score sent, but not the medal he rightfully deserves. Now he/I can't get the medal.

Needless to say, I'm a little upset

Managed to do an almost perfect run and got 1:15 and a gold medal. Now I'm stuck on 2-6 on hard, and damn that level is hard on normal difficulty I beat it through pure luck. Any tips, unlike 5-6 I'm pretty clueless how to beat this one properly.

Uh...crap. Shovers seem to be glitched for being able to push you through walls or something.
Well, uh...at least I got the 'fall for a long time' medal.

ive played like 5 hours now im on level 3 on colosseum im stuck any tips?
