General:
E50 is a very cool stage, I like it very much. It�s a bit easy for the
last
of the regular Expert stages, but who cares?
The shortcut on this stages was discovered very early, and it is
extremely
easy to do. Actually, DarkLight, one of
the best Perfect Dark players, told me how to do it so consistently.
When
going for the WR, I pulled off the shortcut
four times in a row on several occasions.
I want a consistent finish!
Wait until you can roll onto the first platform, and do so immediately
(that
is, before the lid closes on you). Do not
attempt to pick up any bananas, but instead just roll in a somewhat
straight
line approximately diagonally to the
right and into the goal. It's hard to die on E50.
I want a good score!
Hmm, should I make this 4862 or 4962? I�ll go with 4862, a score which
I�ve
had at least 100 times. Hold back-left
and roll to the very back-left corner of the platform. Turn around and
face
forward. At 26.40 (or as close as you can
get to that), pause. Usually I pause a bit before, say, at 26.56, and
rapidly unpause and pause again until I get as
close as I can to 26.40. At that time, hold forward, then press B to
unpause, roll along the left edge of the
platform, and oh�what was that!? You made it into the goal at 24.31
(occasionally at 24.30 or 24.33)! If you
bounce over the goal, you started rolling too eary, if you go under the
goal, you�re too late.
I want the record!
Teehee, have fun with the tremendously annoying post-goal bananas. Yep,
you
need to get 2 of them after going
through the goal. Getting 1 isn�t too hard, but getting 2 is. Plus,
since
the replay tends to be completely random
with all things that happen after the goal, chances are the replay
doesn�t
show you picking up a single banana.
This is irrelevant for NTSC players, because the correct score will be
shown
anyway, but PAL players beware!
The replay likes to show you picking up a banana even though you didn�t
get
it. So what can you do to get
bananas? Note that all bananas are in the middle of the platforms, but
that
you break the goal very far left.
Therefore, roll along the very left edge and pull over to the right
while
you bounce, so that you are moving right as
you go through the goal.
Current record: 5062
