3 years later, I have finally verified that you can maintain fast speed in 9.1 by flying forward to catch the 2 shields up top, then dropping INTO the terrain in the middle of the screen. Do NOT grab the extra life, as that will slow you back down. After you pass the extra life a bit, fly back to the upper portion of the screen, not the lower part. This should maintain the speed boost through the rest of the level. Still no idea how to do it on 9.2.
I just verified a run for Stinkoman 20X6 in the Classic Mode category, but it won't show up normally. When the leaderboard filter is set to "Any Platform" it says there are no runs, but when I filter for "Web" as the platform, it shows up. The only platform this game is on is web, and this has not been a problem for the other categories.
There seems to be some way of maintaining the faster speed for level 9, but I can't manage to do it consistently. I can do it fairly often in 9.1, but I've only gotten it once in 9.2. Any ideas?
This was something I had noticed in my first casual playthrough of new mode, but I couldn't replicate it. Now that I watched your run, it looks like if you die while the checkpoint is on screen it will activate. Weird, but useful.
Yes, cropping before and after the run is fine, just nothing that directly affects the run footage itself
Please do not edit footage of this game, even if the changes are only cosmetic. Any edited runs will be automatically rejected from now on.
