**HINT!!**
I just got all badges in 98 jumps. First you upgrade the wheels and rockets to at least level 2. The more rolling speed you have the better. Then buy the bat. Then you need to have 2 tricks: Pole Vault and Up-N-Out. Once you've got all this, you're ready to make some serious cash. Groupies will also help quite a bit as you can double your money with 3 of them. Launch as normal and do whatever you want in the air. The launch isn't the important part. When you land, do a Pole Vault followed immediately by Up-N-Out. Doing the Pole Vault automatically adds in a "Flip" trick, along with the Up-N-Out gives you 910 points with a x3 trick multiplier (2730 points). Spam this combination as soon as you land as many times in a row as you can. You can usually get about 3 or 4 in a row pretty easily, giving you upwards of 10k points (20k if you have the x2 style multiplier from groupies) without even counting distance, height, or your initial launch tricks.

Killing the Monkey should be the hard badge. Getting 50k is definitely a lot easier. I've never hated monkeys so much in my life...

This must have been the hardest badge of the day ever! I even got the hard badge before the second medium. It took 105 jumps to complete the badge (AND ALL THE OTHERS) And I was bored while I was playing the 1½ hour it took. The good part: Now I'm 80 points richer.

Sorry, I can use the helmet ONLY ONE TIME and after that it COSTS DOUBLE? How stupid is that? Did someone test the game before it was published?

To fight the worm you need to buy the dumpster dive, and to fight the money you need to buy the hang glider. I beat the monkey and have found it impossible to land safely after the hang glider, also you don't fly near as much as during the fighting of the monkey. It would be a lot easier to get the hard badge if you rack up your points at that time and land it, ignoring the monkey. I was easily getting 30+ and figured I'd do it after the monkey, but the glider gets nurfed and can barely stay up for 4k points.

Also, why can I keep buying a FootBall Helmet for double the price every time when it does NOTHING extra? 3/5. So messed up.

I did the Up n Out Flip without buying it by doing Up Up Up Left *button mashing* ....wtf? How is that even possible?

The monkey is a major pain in the butt. Beat him on jump 121, but I had already played to jump 88 months ago. Don't waste your time. It's not fun. BUT IF YOU WANT TO: get the bat and Poll Vault, then just spam that forever and you can get up to $25000 every jump (after you have the trash can and everything before the gold cart).
The mute button is on the main page. The only time you can hit it is before hitting "continue" or "new". Not convenient.

Obviously needs to take a lot less time. It is not a challenge, it is not that entertaining. Needs several improvements. Average concept.

this is really boring considering that i get +198 +175 +12 *.01 and my total is like something ridiculous like 12 or 50$...fix that please... ive played 100 jumps and only have 9000$ WASTE OF TIME

Why is this game badge of the day AGAIN? It's so painful I never bothered with the easy badge let alone getting to some stupid monkey...
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Even the monkey mini-game had a very random feel to it. I have to agree with everyone else, this was a painful 15 points, and not very fun. If I wasn't almost there by the time I felt like quitting I would have stopped.

The only good thing I can truly say I like about this game is if you are fighting the monkey and you crash, when you return he will have the same amount of health.

To get worm badge: unlock dumpster dive and dumpster, then hold dumpster dive as long as u can, then bat bombs at worm. Add to keep alive.

If I was going to spend an entire day on the same game, I wouldn't be playing something as one-note as this. Drop a decimal point from the prices and it would make things a lot more bearable.

You have to hit the UP key twice, each time exactly when the cart passes the according shield in order to max your flying time. Repeated different (short ) stunts increase combo multiplier up to 5x, making the jump worthwhile. It took me ~50 jumps just to figure that out. ~.~ Got the monkey after 120 jumps, but then failed to kill it two times until I gave up on the badge. Should be labeled 'hard' for its annoyance.

Wow if it wasn't for the badge I would have quit a long time ago... I still didn't get the badge, I give up...... Not worth it at all maybe if it was 100 points but not for 15

It doesn't take as long as people are saying, I hit victory at day 105 and that was with many deaths including. Getting the initial upgrades takes a couple runs, maybe 20. After getting them full upgrade get groupies and DONT DIE. Flips aren't worth it after you get a few groupies buy your trips and do them once on the way up in quick succesion to get a multiplier on the. The bat helps when you're close to the ground just keep spamming space. But seriously, get the speed upgrades, get your groupies, get your 4 tricks and use them in a chain and you'll get 10-20k per run. The dumpster is indeed worse, don't buy it unless you want to kill the worm. And hint on the glider, you don't have to hold up to keep it active just space to hit the bananas/ bombs back at the monkey and bingo it takes 100 days to get the award of the day.

I agree with most of these comments. While I like the concept of the game, I find it too tedious for too long with too little payoff. Maybe 2.0 will be worth the time.

This game is a throwback to the days when nobody took flash gaming seriously because they were mostly simplistic, grindy mini-games. Why Kongregate decided to showcase this game via the Badge of the Day is beyond me. This garbage was passable in 2004, this is no longer the case.

WHY is everybody whining about the grinding? comon... After day 75 i had everything maxed out. What you ABSOLUTELY need is the Pole Vault: you can perfom the trick 2 or 3 times per flight, which will give 3440 to 5160 to your score ALONE. Get 3 groupies when feeling confortable about it, and it gets absurd.

i don't get why everyone takes hundreds of jumps! it only took me 64 for victory and if you get 'perfects you can buy an upgrade on the first go!
