I don't know what's going on with the Wiki, but I know that you can talk to the Wiki mods and see what's going on. Corky is the leader if I'm not mistaken, and there should be some kind of wiki thread floating in the Wi/Ht forum.

I submitted a guide for the game *Flight* on my alt account earlier, but I have yet to see it last I checked =/

They probably wouldn't find my guides anyway, since I'm most likely not on their radar yet :P I have only sent one of my guides to Wylina so far.

Mega Miner still has it's medals invisible, by the way, and clicking on them after obtaining them leads you to the front page :\

Should I break the news to them, or are you going to let them know you exist yourself? Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Oh yeah, that's true xD Thanks for the reminder.

I don't know where to begin, but I was planning to submit to the medal wiki runners when it starts being updated (seems to primarily be LiquidOoze)

Any info on the secret medal of Villainous - Tower Attack ?

Yep, it's really easy, but you have to beat the game will all golds first. After you did that you'll find the secret medal in a matter of seconds.

I just managed to get golds using the Testarossa and easy mode drifting. It wouldn't be hard to imagine that perfect execution and/or expert mode drifting would cover the rest of the time.

This game has quite a few issues as a racing game however, in that sometimes when I try to navigate a curve, I could rub up on the outside and still come out faster than if I drift around it properly (I don't recommend this lol). And even though you can regain control of the car faster if you don't accelerate during a drift, overall it's a lot slower. Sometimes you are fine when you hit a wall while drifting, sometimes you completely spin out and lose total control. And there was even one time where I went over the drop and ended up upside down when I hit the road. Wtf? And let's not forget to mention that in the beginning of Neon Good Times, the series of drops are just retarded. You could land and have a speed of 60 MPH, or 110 MPH. I have yet to find out what causes these, other than random luck. The difference is clear though: 3 second difference when I reach the first checkpoint.

Both Neon Good Times and Coastal City are pretty easy, both of the 100pt medals can be earned by just being fast, nothing fancy. You do have to drive the Testarossa obviously. I think it took me 30-45 minutes max to beat those tracks within the required times. Cherry Mountain is a different story though, you can't (or I can't) beat 1:10 by just being fast. You have to find a way to exploit the drifting boost in a really unconventional way that has nothing to do with normal racing. I did manage to beat the required time for Cherry Mountain, but the way I had to do it completely took the fun/challenge out of the game. I'm sure I can be way faster on Neon Good Times and Coastal City by exploiting the drifting system, but I couldn't care less about these times anymore.

Can anybody give me a tip how not to crash on the last ramp, just before the end in coastal city? I continually get times around 2:12, crash included. Avoiding to crash there could scrape off those last two seconds of my time...

How do you unlock the Testarossa? I'm clueless on that one.

Complete arcade mode. Your last opponent will be the Testarossa.

Much appreciated, my friend. :)

Sorry for the double post, but what car is best when trying to beat the testarossa? I got extremely close with the black beginner car (which I forget the name of), actually passing and holding it off for a half of a lap, then I screwed up, and lost. Sadly, the only time I beat that level was on the time trial portion, not arcade.

Any hints or tips?

The beginner black car was my vehicle of choice, which is kinda unfortunate for you I guess =/

Just try not to blockade him in front or something. When I tried that, I got ran over and slowed.

Care to elaborate? I simply can't get expert mode drifting to work reliably for me...

Damn. I guess I'll just have to keep practicing (or hope that somebody comes up with a cheat on how to unlock it. :D). I do have to master the drift though, I can almost do it every time, but still screw up on it. I didn't know about blocking him though, I'll have to keep clear of that. Thanks!

I don't know what shenanigans Nijsse does when he plays that game, but easy mode drifting works just fine. No tricks about it, only good execution and a little bit of luck is required.

Actually, I recorded my gold run for Cherry Mountain. I could upload it on youtube if you guys want me to. It's guaranteed to show you that it's really down-to-earth =)

Theoretically, drifting is supposed to retain your speed while you clear the corners in the track. In this game, it's not such a good idea to be doing it all the time, because the risk heavily outweighs the reward. Not saying that you shouldn't do it, but just don't overdo it. It really doesn't help that the game's physics are... random. Case in point, start up Neon Good Times, and do nothing. The car will move very slowly, and will jerk and twitch every once in a while, even registering on the speedometer.

Rawr I hit the button too soon >.<

A word of warning. Some corners cannot be cleared without hitting the sides or without you slowing down. Whether it's because the curve is really fking tight, or because you have to climb/descend a hill (again, craptastic physics), you'll most likely hit the outer wall. Like Nijsse said, just going fast is sometimes the best solution to getting a good time =)

One more thing. I find that the default camera view hampers my ability to play this game. Press C to switch camera views. I like playing from the perspective of the cockpit myself, as that has consistently given me the best performances and times.

This is only for the gold run, NOT the Takumi Special.

I don't know what shenanigans Nijsse does when he plays that game, but easy mode drifting works just fine.

Please note that I earned every medal besides Takumi Special just by being fast, you know, get through corners without loosing speed 'n stuff. :P But by being fast I didn't even come close to getting a time under 1:10, so I had to find other ways to be faster. What it basically comes down to, is that you can wall hug and drift almost every corner. Just see the race as a pinball machine, smashing into walls without loosing speed, and go back to race mode whenever there are easy corners. Just experiment with it until you understand what I'm trying to say. It's pretty difficult to execute and like I said before, it completely takes the fun of the time ranking out of the game. I did it with easy mode drifting by the way.

Well thanks for that. I've had another revelation: You can keep on doing small drifts while going relatively straight, which effectively acts as a turbo boost. On the starting straight of Cherry Mountain I was going in excess of 190mph. If expert drifting does net you a larger boost I can see where Narcissus's 1:06 comes from. That said, it's totally illogical how 'drifting straight' should translate to a boost, as well as how wall-hugging can be faster than a proper collision-less drift. Man, this game has such pretty graphics, it's a shame the mechanics are somewhat screwed up.

Ehh, I've tried the level several times now, when I followed your suggestion, I ended up on a fork that led to dead ends (no further platforms to jump to). Any help?

Also, I noticed you just got the 200 streak medal for Paranormal Shark Activity. Wasn't that said to be an impossible medal? Did you somewhat circumvent the platform combo that was virtually impossible to jump over?

It took me the fourth try to figure out where the third outcome was, and one of them was jumping down the hole for the lulz, while the other three were an effort to methodically map out the level.

I could tell you where to find the third outcome, but what's the fun in that?

I managed to do that medal legitimately after I did it with the glitch. Never say "impossible" with that medal now. Let's just say you have bigger things to worry about after 150x =P

LEFT, keep heading left. The emo death chick is on the right... hence the opposite direction.

It's not impossible... It's a cake walk, actually. I rage quit that game a long time ago and decided to give it another go. Most I got back that was 160-170 legit, IIRC... Well, I'm waiting to start a new job in Korea in a week, so I've been bored out of my kilts lately. So, when I stumbled upon a glitch it was too good not to try (hey, I'm human)... Die, click submit score and immediately click replay. Die again, replay... no shark, only wooden platforms. Your only worry is falling into the water at 170x and cursing very loudly, that or getting very bored in the process.

Expert mode gives a major speed boost when you finish a drift when the smoke turns orange. It's possible to max out the speed right around 199. Drift side-to-side in straights and pick up as much speed as possible before hills to shave off time. Luck, timing and some physics glitches associated with drift speed boosts help also. Just play around with it.
