Crash 4 Max Wumpa Challenge - Give it a Spin - 673 / 675 [99.7%]
2This run was set on the 23rd May, 2025.
Level Notes
When I set this run I originally believed it was 100% impossible to get all Wumpa in the Bonus, but now I'm at maybe 90% sure. There are 3 Basic Crates that are under Iron Crates and requires the TNTs to break them. It is possible to sacrifice a mask to get one of the Wumpa Fruit but I couldn't find a way to get two or all three in one go without dying.
So later on I found that you don't need a mask if you use the fall-spin-jump trick I used in the Bonus of Jetboard Jetty to get the crates under TNTs, however it still always immediately blew up the TNTs (if you time it well you can escape the explosion). If it would be possible to break them without detonating the TNTs as well, that would make this possible, but with my knowledge and skill, I don't know if it can work.
What is the Max Wumpa Challenge?
Since this game has fixed Wumpa values for each crate, and since the demo originally included Max Wumpa counters for each level, I decided to take on the challenge to try and get every Wumpa in this game.
I'm going to spoil it right now and say it is unfortunately impossible, so the aim will be to get as many as I possibly can. Also because I'm insane, I am going for Perfect Relics and timing how fast I do it, however speedrunning is not the main focus. As I make it to later levels expect runs to become more casual in nature as I don't want to go too crazy lol.
If you know something I have missed and I have not noted it down, please let me know!
Thanks to ADMGHX for looking into the game files for me to find the 40%/60%/80%/100% Wumpa values so I can check that my own findings are correct! In some cases I still found a couple discrepancies but I will go into detail for the relevant levels.
