Level Notes
I want to start off saying I'm so happy with this run. It may not be the smoothest or cleanest of runs, but this was a million times better than what I was originally going to be satisfied with. My original plan was to death abuse for double masks before the gem route and again for the Bonus round (sacrificing the Perfect Relic), but I was surprsingly quite consistent with the level despite all the BS I have to do, so I pushed myself to do a Perfect Relic run, making use of the two masks they give you, which is the perfect amount required to do the Bonus round. Honestly I find it criminal that they only give two masks for this entire level. I'm also so happy I managed to get a sub 10 minute run because my custom timer maxed out at 9:59 and I would have had to make more graphics lol.
ANYWAYS, unfortunately this level is so evil you can't even get 100% Wumpa thanks to some unfortunate Basic Crate placement below some NITROs at 7:03. I found you can sacrifice a mask to get the right one but I do not see any way of getting the Wumpa from the left Crate.
Also I think the same person who placed the Wumpa on the final traffic section in Rush Hour were also responsible for placing those damn Bounce Crates on those fast moving platforms. Pure evil, but thankfully it is just about possible.
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.
