If you're having trouble with the 50K point achievement here's a very easy strategy. Unlock everything except the dumpster and items requiring the dumpster. You should be using the Solid Gold Cart with the hang glider. This will unlock the Flying Monkey boss fight. Equip max groupies and the Beanie hat for maximum multiplier. Now start, Hit up down up, up up up, down left up right, left left hold up, down down hold up. Now you'll have a 5x combo and a decent score. Keep holding down up and your score will continue to grow. Do not attack the boss, because while fighting the boss you fly forever. At around 6,000 score I landed my trick which was multiplied by 5 fort the combo, and 1.9 for my style. This scored around 57,000 and only took a few tries. Click + to try and get this to top comment, so everyone will have an easier time earning the Heroic Cash Run Badge.

Upgrades cost too much and it's not even that fun. It's the same as the first one, really. It's just not enjoyable enough to work my way up to the BOTD, sorry. =/

All badges should be doubled in points because this "game" is such a chore to play. The game mechanics aren't explained anywhere(ie how to get max jump) and it is just plain tedious to earn money. I'm up for a challenge, but make it fun!

I rated this game 1/5 for the following reasons:
1: The upgrades cost too much. Makes gameplay stale, running 10+ times for a single upgrade is annoying.
1.5: Groupies are too risky of an investment to have so much cost. Granted, they make up for this by being the only thing one can buy once everything else is purchased, but it's going to be a hell of a long time before everything else is purchased because of the absurd costs.
2. The monkey boss - The bombs blow up in your face half the time, regardless of how much time to fuse has. Also, he is either above or behind you at least 25% of the time. Nothing is more frustrating than being bombarded by a series of bananas from above you that you were unable to see just before they hit you. There's nothing you can do to avoid it - it's just stupid.
3. The graffix look like mspaint. Not really something I'd normally rate down for, but they don't even make up for the anti-fun gameplay of running through the same thing hundreds of times.

For those trying to grind through to the bosses, the worm appears after you buy the dumpster. You'll need the bat in order to hit the bombs at it. Took me 88 jumps before I worked it out. :(

It's "funny" how many games make it past the 4.0 mark while using the Kong API and NEVER get any badge attached to them, while a game rated at 3.92 (and I can't for the life of me know why, even after I made it until jump 71 & lost my 2 groupies for the umpteenth time) not only gets 3 badges attached but gets "Badge of the Day" twice... "Funny", indeed... Oh, by the way: 1/5, simply because nothing can be purchased without grinding for ages. We come here to enjoy games and waste some time, not to repeat the same action again and again in the hopes of reaching a required number (does that sound like too much like work to anyone else?)...

Easiest way to get the easy. Buy Wheelie trick and just spam 5 of them in a row. Don't even try to hold it out take the 50 and go straight into another one.

This seems like a good concept, but it take WAY too long to gather enough money to buy upgrades. In short, either make the upgrades cheaper OR give more money per run.

This game only has 7+ million plays because it's been up so long... The prices in the shop are too high, there is no real sense of progression, which is vital to keep someone around and playing your game for any more than 5 minutes. I am here for the BOTD on 8/4, and I will never come back

OK 100 jumps in, I haven't even seen the WORM or the MONKEY. I give up. Stopped being fun after first 20 repetitive boring jumps. Even though I make around $15-20K each jump, it is still going to be another 100 jumps before I can complete this... just not worth it, even for BotD. I also don't like the way the douchey developer won't listen to the 1000 comments regarding the best advice he could use to change this game. Not gonna support MonkeyWantBanana if he doesn't listen to those who play his games.

This game has a good concept - good idea - but if I wanted to pop some blood vessels in my fore head due to serious stress because of high prices and inaccurate physics - I'll just go to work !

This is a perfect example of an unnecessarily difficult game. It's not challenging (like some other games), it's annoying. I'm not bothering with BotD today.

70 jumps and I finally have enough money to afford the upgrades needed to get the EASY badge... is this badge of the day or badge of the week?

Worm comes after you get the dumpster dive: do the trick to go underground. Follow the worm and bat it's bombs back at it. The monkey comes after you get the glider. Move up and down and bat the nearby bombs and it's bananas back at it. I don't know about the worm, but you may ahve to fight the monkey several times; fortunaately, it doesn't heal between fights. Groupies will get you more cash per trip; you lose all groupies if you crash, so don't get them until you have a good routine down. I did the 50k badge like Bojak said: grab 3 groupies, do tricks all the way up, do tricks all the way down, try to get as many pole vaults as you can, and if the vault is high/long enough, try to get a jump (up up up) in there. Good luck!

I don't get it. I get the timing down on the bars perfectly, and it still doesn't get me enough air to perform even a simple backflip.
Am I doing it wrong?

Are you serious? This is the third time already this game gets badge of the day! There are other (and better) games out there that deserve Badge of the day too!

"Many have tried. Many have failed. Do you have what it takes to be a hero?" I can tell why meny have failed. EXPENSIVE UPGRADES.

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...

This game sucks. Upgrades cost too much and don't do much...plus the mechanics are not explained, nor do they seem to follow any discernible pattern. Three thumbs down. Go play a good launcher game, then this, and you will see just how much this sucks.

Well, only needed 50 runs for the easy badge ... can i give this game 0/5 please? I still don't understand completly how to get max height.

Don't buy wheelie and up-n-out, they don't combo. Groupies are also lost on fail, like the helmets. I dislike games where I have to check the comments to find out how the game works, you might want to add a quick tutorial (not that joke of press right, press up that appears if you are inactive at the beginning) or more info.

Not the first time this game has come up as BOTD and I thought I'd tough it through long enough to get the easy badge. But it's still not worth it.

When i grow up, i'm going to be just like him, ......minus the FAKE FRIENDS THAT COST 12K. As a matter of fact, got a shopping cart right now. WHO WANTS TO RIDE!!!? (warning: i do not pay you to ride with me.)

Let me get this straight, as a total noob I get around $16 per "run". In order to get the BoTD I need to buy two "trick" upgrades the cheapest of which cost a total of $3100. Seriously?

This game is pretty much farming. The graphics seem simple and quickly drawn and the gameplay is tedious and boring. Next time put more thought into the game next time and try not to make a simple run of the mill distance travel game. Be original.
