ADVANCEDextra five


General:
Be honest: How long did it take you to complete this oner for the first time? I took very long, it just seemed so damn difficult to navigate along all the small platforms and bumpers, not to mention that horrible turning ring near the end. It turns out this level is much like A30, and finishing consistently is quite easy too. For notational purposes: After the banana bunches, there are 5 fragments of rings, some move fast, some slower, some are long, some short. After the 5 ring fragments comes the "long platform," then the 2nd to outmost ring. Then there is a big gap, well most of the time, because this is the turning ring. Finally, there is the outmost ring with the two (identical) goals.

I want a consistent finish!
Start off holding forward, then immediately pull over to the left, to the right of the bumper. Get the banana bunch and move right, and now you can directly go onto the long platform without a gap. When you reach the 2nd to outmost ring roll along it to the left, to the axis of the turning ring. At about 52 you can go over the turning ring, continue to move left and finish at about 47-48.

I want a good score!
A good score is anything better than 13000. Hold forward, then to the left, get the first bunch and immediately get onto the small platform before the bunch, the one that goes counter-clockwise. Stay on that platform, pick up the second bunch. As you pick up the third bunch, pull over to the right, there should be no gap, over the long platform (you should roll over or roll close to the north-east corner of the long platform), over the 2nd to outmost ring, jump over the big gap while still holding up-right, now you will hit the outmost ring and things start to go wrong. The strat up to here should be consistent, but the bounce from the outmost ring is somewhat random. Ideally, you will get hit to the right, bounce once on the ring and jump into the goal. Whenever you can land on the outmost ring you will have a score of at least 13000. Don�t give up, eventually you�ll be lucky.

I want the record!
So what is different for the WR? I have not done this myself, but apparently this is what Packattack did: After getting the 3rd bunch and going right, he hit the 2nd to outmost ring, which bounced him over the gap and to the right, straight into the goal. I don�t thing he was doing anything different than for the good score strat, so maybe you�re lucky too. I could be wrong though, but I will update this when I see the video.

Current Record: 13582
