Some tips for those who just want to get the badges as quick as possible. To even attempt the final race, you need a single duck with 150 in all stats (except energy). A duck with stats like that can easily win every tournament solo, despite the penalty.
This means there is no actual point to training multiple ducks. There is one race that requires a flying level of zero, but I believe it is an optional race, so ignore it.
The different mini-games vary wildly in time efficiency for levels gained. I recommend deliberately failing the inefficient ones, and simply spending times on the ones that matter.
For training running, skip the first minigame, play the second two.
For training swimming, skip the second minigame, play the others.
For training flying, skip the second minigame. I usually skipped the first one also.
For training climbing, skip the first and third minigame. Only Risk is actually worth doing.
For training jumping, skip the first minigame.
Lol, some of the later levels can be solved with one piece. Why build a bridge when you can attach a single piece of board to the crane and use it as a wrecking ball to knock items into the truck.
I just want to say, this game was hilarious. Perhaps the only time I've deliberately died in every way possible just to hear the character's dialogue and see how he died.
I really liked this game. Makes you think fast and is a lot of fun.
