Combo is still telling the back story behind why they seek help from the GG's. Coin discovered something to get these guys going, but what is it? Anyhow...

Rock n' Roll Grind
Time: 999 seconds (16 minutes, 49 seconds)
Tags: 14 + 2 (9 Small + 2 Green, 2 Large, 3 Extra Large)
Points for Jet: 50,000

Notes: 6 Tags triggers Assassin No. 6 and 9 tags triggers two helicopters in addition to Assassin No. 6 appearing in more locations.

This stage is in the shape of a large X, yet possibly as big as Bantam Street. And it takes place way up in the higher levels of the area. You need to ride up elevators to reach the tagging spots. This level is all about grinding where you need to go. Falling down naturally results in fall damage and lost time (at least if you are really high up).

I think I could have saved the ground tag for last since it really is a drag to ride the elevator multiple times in this stage. But other than that, you can tag things pretty quickly by railing from one location to another. Just be very cautious of your controls when jumping.

When the helicopters appear, you really might want to take them out. They each sit in one central spot of the stage, firing missiles at will. This stage is open and spacious, so you can be hit multiple times when you least expect it. Fortunately, they are located next to some grind rails that you may use to tag em'. Taking a moment to do this could save you a lot of trouble.

Also, note that when Assassin No. 6's bolts hit you, no damage occurs. The static pulse simply stops your horizontal motion, killing your speed. They send these bolts through rails, and if you get caught while railing... you can fall off to say the least. Making contact with their electric barriers will knock you over, causing damage though. They are suited for this stage since railing is a given here.

This stage will mark the end of Chapter 2, and the beginning of the hardest set of stages found in Chapter 3.
