How could one describe this game??? I would rate it along side ET for the Atari.....yes that seems fitting. I should be placed along side ET and buried somewhere in the desert never to see the light of day ever again.

I'm actually baffled at how poorly this game aged. For those hating on this game because of, well, a lot of reasons, be aware that it was one of the first major Flash games. It's venerable, quite possibly the first real "launch" style game. And that's why basic aspects of launch games are missing here - grandaddy gets a free pass.

What you have to do guys to get 600+ is jump in to your cart at the point which gives as close to a full red bar indicator on the screen. Also, try jump at the marker and aim for a 45 degree angle through flight, then land flat as possible and ride the ground evenly. The red bar is the most critical thing to achieve to get over 600.

30 or 40 runs of cant break 430 then suddenly a run of 766. for those of you who have not figured it out the groupies are usless.

woooooooooo 672 baby! speaking of that, do groupies increase your weight and therefore your speed? bought 2 and instantly got the badge

This is one of those games that shows that Kong's rating system is manipulated. This game's rating shouldn't be half as high as it is, even if you just look at the comments section.

I was really having problems trying to reach 600 feet at first until I read some sound advice that, at the second pole, press up and try staying around a 45 degree angle. After a couple of tries, I hit over 700 feet easy, without even touching the arrows after that.

For the hard badge, try to get max speed (up when the cart is center on the pole) and a jump with the rotation going back instead of forward. If you've maxed everything (no groupies) then you can start a backflip while aiming upward until you see stars, then rotate through. Got 1900 off one backflip doing that.
FYI, the badges seem broken right now, so you'll need to report it to Kong.

killed a dozen groupies (singles, duos, triples ... all multiple times) did a little over 600 whatevers distance ... but no badge. this game is not only a terribly boring waste of time, but the badges dont work propperly.

Warning: If you crash land with your groupies, ie get the first achievement, they actually die and you have to buy them again. If you want to get all three achievements, you probably want to keep them until the end, then crash spectacularly.

This game's far too random. As soon as you launch, you start turning at a random angle and speed regardless of your input.

HOW I GOT ALL BADGES: 1) At the first pole that you need to press UP, press it when you're nearest to the pole. 2) After you're in the cart, no need to hold RIGHT to run anymore. Just get ready to jump at the second pole. 4) Flying, notice the height by looking at the number at the corner or the sky color. 5) In most cases, don't flip. You will get trick points for flipping but it's hard to control. 6) Try to stay around 45 degree angle. 7) If you have Superman or Handstand, use only Handstand for higher score. 8) Don't hold each trick for a long time. Repeating many time gives you more points. 9) When near land, stop tricks. 10) When on the ground, press UP repetetively so as soon as you bounce high enough you press DOWN to perform a Handstand. 11) Read score calculation. 12) Keep buying any upgrade you can EXCEPT GROUPIES. You should only buy groupies after you finish other upgrades. 13) Some jumps are bad. Don't grind much when it happens. Landing safely is more important.

Ugh, why doesn't this save? My browser crashed on me. I had just bought my 3rd groupie and had all the other upgrades already.

Medium badge: get the racing wheels and the big rocket and just keep rolling on ground while still having the boost. Hard badge: get the 3 groupies, racing wheels and big rocket, make sure you are going as upwards as possible while doing a handstand and after your rocket runs out, complete the backflip then release the handstand when you're close from the ground

I have all the upgrades. I have done everything I can think of, hopping in earlier and later, jumping a bit earlier, in the middle or later. I have held the jump button, released the jump button. I tried balancing earlier then later. I have tried these in varying combinations until my hands cramped and still my best distance is 545. I am calling this one and settling for the easy badge.

Really cool game, when playing this years ago ! Medium badge seems harder than the Hard badge though, got the Hard no problem, struggling with Medium, fun game nontheless
