Finally got to the restaurant. Once you know how to speed up by doing low angle jumps and nice entries, it's easy. Low angles are also the key for tailsliding. The recipe of 20 something nice entries + tailslide and starslides till netuno(?) + one last tailslide and starlides work. Good luck to the other players. Thanks for the game.

ATTENTION -- HOW TO GET TO RESTAURANT
1. Get 25 nice-entries by 1min
2. Do a tailslide and hopefully with luck you can make it to New Horizons. (If not the planet before).
3. Stop starsliding and make your preparations to land in the water.
4. Hit the water and immediately try and do another tailslide.
5. Hold the starslide button and be ready to jump off.
6. Hope for good starslides and you will make your way to the restaurant!
P.S. You dont need to do tricks and flips for the most part... if you are comfortable doing a flip or corkscrew go for it, the more points you rack up the better.
Good Luck

I have no idea what anyone is talking about with the control glitches or speed issues, the game is fine on my computer.

Finally got the impossible badge and the time I spent to get it was totally worth it!!!! WOOT! Definitely one of the greatest games on Kongregate.

I really like this game, except for two issues.
1) You have got to do something about the performance. This game completely spikes your CPU so unless you have NOTHING else running the game will lag. This is a flash game, I'm running a 3.0Ghz HT P4 at work this really should be enough for a relatively simple flash game. This wouldn't be so bad except that...
2) To get the final badge involves getting your dolphin to move so fast the screen doesn't hardly have time to render. And this only works if you get lucky and have starslides waiting for you in all of the right spots. More over, at the speed you are moving at this point it will usually lag several times on the way up, often causing you to miss a critical starslide. Having a badge that is based 100% on luck is kinda stupid.

if you swim around collect lots of fish behind you then reset and jump straight out of the water, you get a "schools out" bonus and a big speed boost right at the start.

There is an error in the actionscript in the free swim mode. After a tail slide this exception is thrown TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

seems like something was overlooked.

I just noticed that the extensions don't get reset if you hit reset game. I found a couple extensions in a line up, hit reset game, then my dolphin started right in front of those. I got a firecracker in the first two seconds. This may help many of you to get some of the badges.

There is definitely too much luck involved. I have done exactly the same things as the guys in the videos have done (sometimes even moving faster at an earlier time period in the game), but something always goes wrong - either there are zero starslides available for me to hit all the way up to Mars when I jump out of the water after 20 nice entries with more than a minute left to play, or when I do get four starslides in and then try to do a tailslide at the top of the water, despite the fact that I am pressing down while approaching the surface water at a very shallow angle from below, my tailslide won't kick in and I'll just jump out of the water at a very shallow angle with tremendous speed, which of course wastes about 8 more seconds as I wait for the dolphin to land. Very very very frustrating. I now have to mark the game down to 3 stars until glitches like this second issue I mentioned are fixed. Fun game, but frustrating.

To: Nabb, Shadowxsoul, and anyone else who laughed at my previous comment- yes i understand what gravity is. I meant the speed you have after you have fallen a long way (obviously due to gravity) as opposed to the speed of constant nice entries. And anyone who can read should have been able to understand what i meant.

Cool game, but fast becoming more frustrating than fun...reaching the restaurant is too damn luck-based. Many time I have come out of a perfect tailslide only to get just two starslides on the way up...it's really starting to piss me off...

Dolphin Olympics 2 may not sound fun... but once you give it a try, you'll be playing it for hours on end, trying to reach above the stars! It's awesome!
