General:
Wheeee, bumpers:). This is a typical example of how it makes sense to
pick
up more bananas, even if it�s harder
to do. I used to go for 1 bunch and 1 single banana, and I had a sweet
6410
with that. Then I went to the WR page
to see if that�s the record, but the record was around 6900. So yeah, for a
good
score you need to get both bunches.
I want a consistent finish!
Turn right to face the goal at the beginning (just turn, don�t roll
anywhere).At about 28.50 (you can pause like on
E50 if you want, but I don�t think it�s necessary), roll directly into
the
goal and finish around 27.50.
I want a good score!
6900 is the barrier you want to get over, and it is not too easy. You
need
to follow the WR strat, but you can do 2
things differently. First, you need not pick up the second single
banana,
even though you will probably pick it up
anyway most of the time. Second, you need no hit any bumpers. I�ve
gotten
over 7000 without touching a single
bumper.
I want the record!
Boost right, then pull over to the left. You will pick up a single
banana.
Continue with up-left and head towards the
first bunch. A bit before the bunch, reduce speed and wiggle elegantly
(right, then left again) through the
bumpers, not touching any of them. This takes practice, but don�t give
up!
Get another single banana, and then
comes the hardest part. For a good score, make your way through the
bumpers
again (pick up the bunch
obviously), then hopefully to the left of the "empty" bumpers and into
the
goal that turns to you perfectly for a low
24 finish. For the WR, you need to hit some bumpers at the second bunch
to
jump into the goal slightly faster. The
stupid thing is that the goal will be in an unfavourable position if
you�re
too fast, and with some training you�ll be
too fast most of the time. Still, over 7100 is possible.
