I mean... I've found that sometimes its the most challenging levels that hold some of our greatest gaming memories. The easy stuff gets easily forgotten. But the levels we had to really work for to beat? Those feel earned, and those levels and battles stay with us, often becoming cherished gaming memories.
@@OtterloopB you have a point to a degree. This just feels so out of place in comparison to the rest of the game. Even the lost void levels are nowhere near the level of difficulty as this. I get it’s the final mission and there should be some challenge to it, but it’s meant mainly for kids and not supposed to be this extreme challenge you have to grind through to feel some sort of accomplishment. The joy and what I will remember ab the game is its atmosphere, level designs( apart from this one lol), music, and the cameos.
I agree with you on this one, if there were at least check points so you didn’t have to start right from the beginning again would at least make some difference lol
Is this your first platformer? Most of them will have an end game challenge level for those wanting a much harder challenge regardless of the rest of the game’s difficulty/feel.
The biggest problem with these sorts of things is they come at a time when you’re pretty much done with the game. They require so much repetition that you’re left feeling so burnt out and done with the game. This is the last thing I need to do to get the platinum and the memory of all the good stuff in the game is all but erased by this level. It’s poor game design in my opinion.
Nice tips, though I think the jump back at 1:40 is unnecessary. The enemy never attacks fast enough so you should be able to do it without stopping from what I remember. The bit at 1:55 is the most crucial tip of the run too imo. You don't mention it specifically when you do it, but skipping the X platform for the flamethrower makes this so much easier!
Thanks! I am very curious on how everyone else did that 1:40 part because I swear that's the only way I could consistently do it without the enemy hitting me every time. Yeah! I figured jumping to that X platform would be a nightmare, so that made sense!
Start spin attacking on the way up the first ramp, keep it going through all the blobs. Works every time, run straight through - no need for the extra jump.
Yeah the entire time I was doing this level I never had to dodge an attack from that enemy, I just immediately started running up and got to him before he could attack at all
This seems to be staple in most platformers in general. Super Mario World had the special star level. This is nowhere as challenging as the special levels in Mario Wonder. Both games I referenced were easy but had challenging bonuses level after game completion. Don’t get too frustrated, take a break and you will eventually get it and feel rewarded.
I inadvertently beat this on my 4th try! Always a level for all us gamers that have is our achilles heal. Meaning we all have that one level that for some reason just gave us hell and took forever to beat! It never took me more then 5 tries on 99% of all levels. Then one level. A bonus set or how each world had o,x,□, triangle. Each world unlocked 4 sets of p.s. buttons. My achilles level was yhe bonus lava level where you grab the duck to cool the ground all the while duck water doesn't last long while spike balls twirl around...then the homing missile bastard s.o.b. knob gobbling peckerheaded sum ummm a beatch bastard!....lol. This was the only level that somehow became the bane of my existence! Almost 25-30 tries I believe. My son laughed his butt off listening to me die and also my reactions. Insanity of doing same thing with no new results! Then after lizard double set of flamethrowers with mud-oil substance you have to wash away...all the while its easier jumping as the timing is so tight the flames catch up and on your heels entire time. I try 5-6 times and then go to another world. I don't play nonstop til I beat it. Master challenge I got lucky I guess. One boss took me 5-6 tries as I didn't know the trick of it all. This game was fun but a Mario clone definitely. I thought it would be different but I paid for it so had to beat it all! Got platinum. Oh and figuring out where Lara croft was to take a pic of her and Nate. I unlocked all toy prize balls of 169 total. To finally realize she was the one being chased round and round by a dinosaur! Had to finally look up that trophy! To me they all almost look alike! Some are obviois while many were not! Game has a they played it safe and made a Mario game. No game like this is bad or fails. Anyways was fun! P
Thank you so much man I couldn’t of got that without your help your a real G man on god the hardest part on that level was definitely the chameleon (I was pissed 💀) Just Platinumed The Game 🎉
You're welcome! That chameleon got me raging a couple of times, but for me it was the ice block ramp with the purple guy on top. I spent like an hour on that one :D
Lol you're gonna need more than an hour if you're not a super experienced platformer player I think. I spent two evenings total, probably 3-4 hours trying, before I finally beat it
