Level Notes
This should have been a nice break after Cortex Castle but somehow I was having a more miserable time despite it taking far less time overall. I don't know what it was, whether a fps issue or what, but like 75% of the time, the flying bats just refused to move (including the second one in this run) which kept throwing me off. Not only that, but I then had to deal with what seemed like RNG from the two Basic Crates under TNTs at 0:45. It was like a 50/50 whether I would get the Wumpa or not and it didn't seem to matter what I did.
Unfortunately to get max Wumpa here you need to sacrifice the Perfect Relic to get a pity mask. From what I can tell there is no other way, and no Akus are given in this section. Just like Cortex Castle, there are some Wumpa near TNTs that would explode, so you need to sacrifice the mask at 3:11.
And with that, the challenge is complete... at least for the main levels, because I will be doing Flashback Tapes too of course!
That brings my final score for the main 38 levels to 29,235 out of 29,303 Wumpa (99.77%)!
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.
