General:
Wow, what an excellent shortcut! I don�t know who came up with it, but
it�s
rather old. I saw it
on a vid by DarkWrath. Funnily, it�s very easy to do and even somewhat
consistent (about 70%
if you do some training). Like so often, the difference between the
good
score strat and the WR
strat is rather subtle, but read on and you will be told the secret...
I want a consistent finish!
Never ever should you lose a life on EX6, it�s so damn easy. Go right
around
the ring, then go
into the pipe. Hold forward, and then you only have to follow the
arrows (if
you�ve played this a
bit, you automatically do the right thing and don�t need to look at the
arrows). Left, right, left,
right, left, brake, finish. As you want to do the pipe full speed, you
will
only use up-left and
up-right.
I want a good score!
A good score is anything better than 5120, you might as well try the WR
strat, but here is how
to do the shortcut. Boost left, go right. As you reach the end of the
ring,
go left again so that you
fall down parallel to the pipe on your right. Hold forward while you�re
falling down, bounce off
the "valley" formed by the pipe, and straight into the goal. If you�re
too
high, pull back slightly
before the goal.
I want the record!
As you might have guessed (it�s an old Monkey Ball wisdom), the
lower
you bounce, the
faster you are. After the bounce down in the valley, you want to get
over
the pipe as low as
possible, and obviously you can�t afford to pull back at any time.
Boost
left, then go right.
Continue holding right, and just before you hit the pipe go left again.
You
do want to touch the
pipe, but only skim it. Now if you manage to bounce below, you should
be
nice and low and finish
with .70 or better left.
