Level Notes
So this level is not as bad as Out for Launch for this challenge, but there is still a lot of tricky things you have to deal with.
Firstly, the stack of Crates at 0:13 is a bit awkward but it isn't too bad to deal with. The hardest part is getting the last two Crates. What I do is take advantage of the "coyote" jump, where I fall into the hole very slightly, then quickly fire and jump to have more chance of hitting the Basic Crates before the TNTs.
Secondly, the stack of Crates at 1:00 requires using one of the enemies to get the top Basic Crate, and then you can get the bottom Basic Crate. I tried many times to get both with Cortex, but I could never get them both at the same time. Originally I deemed it impossible but I did some messing around with the enemies and found out you can get one of them to break one crate without detonating the others. Unfortunately it seems up to RNG whether you'll get the Wumpa from the bottom crate or not, unless it has to do with aiming.
Thirdly, in the Bonus at 3:48, sliding under all three Crates seems to be very precise. I couldn't come up with a consistent strat so I just started as far to the left as I could to get momentum and hope I time the slide correctly. Unfortunately I missed it on the first try here.
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.
