ppl104's Platform racing 2 guide (every single course guide, and glitch!) (locked)

#This is my platform racing 2 guide I hope you like it

special thanks to the_duct_tape for helping me write a guide for the hat factory

#campaign levels

this is my level guide, which tells you how to beat the campaign levels.

Newbie land 2

Small, fast, and easy level, the trick to win this level is to have high speed, and if you get a teleport at the first block use it to teleport across the wall of up acceleration blocks. That is about the only shortcut. The winner of this race gets a unicorn head.

Mario bros remix

I have to say this is a medium level because it is so long. In the first part there are 2 routes to take, if I was you I would take the bottom route with the acceleration blocks. When you reach the part with all the crumbling blocks if you have a teleport onto the crumbling blocks, and that should gib\ve you the lead. The prize for this game is a cool sun head.

Soul temple

Pretty easy simple level, only 1 direction to go, and 1 major shortcuts, if you have the highest speed you should win but acceleration is also important in this level. at the place just past the acceleration walls, there is a wall which separates you and the goal if you have a teleport, you can teleport you can teleport right through it to the goal saving a lot of seconds.The winner of this race should get a football helmet head.

razor blade

my favorite level,no shortcuts yet there are a lot of tricks. when you start out super jump on top of the tree then fall down in the land. this stops you from falling out of the water band.
when you reach the part where you are supposed tot use the super jump blocks to reach the flag skip 2 at a time, it can be done. try not to fall down into the skull made out of mines, but if you do try to land on a super acceleration block. finally once you reach the crows nest get your cutlass, and jump onto the mystery box, and use it to clear your way into the end zone.

Its new york

Pretty strait forward level, jump from building to building, and try not to fall. there is only one route, so no really shortcuts, try not to fall down, if you do it is almost impossible to get any place but first. The prize for this level is a giant bird body if you win a race with 4 people.

backlight

Pretty easy, just don’t fall, there are 2 different routes at the beginning but they don’t really differ much, the prize for this level, is a pair of giant bid feet if you win against 4 people.

candy land

About medium hard, when you reach the licorice cave do not hit the flip block, if you don’t you will go faster down the cave. When you reach the ginger bread mayor place if you have a cutlass smash your way through the bottom part of the cave. If yo get a teleport use that and make your way through the cave.
The prize for this level when you beat 4 other people is a lolly pop head

Zerostar(00)

Very hard, but there are no shortcuts, just strait forward run jump and teleport through the rooms, and get to the end before your opponents. There are no shortcuts and this is very strait forward, so there is really nothing to explain. The winner of a 4 person race will get a bee body

hat factory

There are no concrete ways to do it, but there are some strategies. On the jump part with the 5 up blocks and the two brick blocks on each side, on the final two jumps, use super jumps. And then there is the long drop after you go up a long hill of blocks. you should move left to avoid as much of the walls as possiblethe prize is for beating this level with 4 people is a propeller hat.

#Controls:

Items

#weapons

Laser gun

This weapon has 3 shots, It knocks back a player a few blocks, and the player stays down for 5 seconds, this weapon has infinite range, and high attack.

cutlass

low range yet knocks player back a lot of spaces, keeps them down for 5 seconds.

mine

Not really useful unless you are in a tight passage, and you drop the mine on the bottom of it. It has high damage, but low range.

lightning

Stops all other players, and knocks them down for 5 seconds.

#normal items

Teleport

allows you to teleport 5 spaces, and go through walls, very useful.

speed boost

Helpful by boosting your speed for a little while to get ahead of the other racers

super jump

Allows you to jump higher then you would with a fully charged jump, can be useful to get the lead in many levels.

jetpack

allows you to fly in the air for 10 seconds.

#glitches

Wall of mines

What you do is make a straight line of mines vertically with walls on either side. If you jump into the bottom one, you should fly up the entire chain.

(Special thanks to scapegoat02 for telling me this.)

safety net and water

What you do is you get a safety net at the bottom of a chain of blocks surrounded by walls that goes

Safety net/ water/ safety net/ water/ ect.

This combination makes you go flying up through the water super fast.

walk through walls

get a whole bunch of right speed blocks and out a wall in front of them, and you should be able to walk through it.

I don’t know every glitch, but go to this level and you will see every glitch named here and more.

#to make a good level

To make a good level make it long, but not too long, and add some places were people can get trapped. IF you add some rotate blocks in good places those can help your score.If you add a lot of good art it will be rated highly. Some of the types of levels are

battle arenas: usually a short box course, most of the time has 4, or 5 infinite item boxes

race courses: usually, long, and you have to jump all over the place, and run everywhere.

drop course: most of the time a long tube going down. this type of course is usually full of traps.

don’t move course: don’t move.

(will be updated later.)

A good level will usually be rated between 4 and 5. to see a good level go to randomness 2 just click on the tab on the top of the game screen called best rated levels.
