For the 3rd coin in power trip, I have an idea. After clicking 4 times, it shows the coin, but the coin is moved back so it looks like you're chasing it. So the coin will be on the end of the level, meaning using the skip won't give you the third coin.

There is actually another skip you can do in power trip. when you are in wave for the first time, after going through the teleport portal TWO times, a small area in the wall will open up just before you go into mirror mode. going through this area will allow you to complete the level in an empty, open and free area where you can spam, or rest to the end while still enjoying the music.

Another bug that robtop should NOT fix in 2.2: in the spider, with normal gravity, if you reverse your gravity to be upside-down, then on impact with the platform, if you hit a size change portal at the same time, you will have reversed your gravity but the icon will get confused and think that you haven't.

I noticed 2 things in power trip: 1:in the 2nd coin the 2nd orb is a kinda tricky timing, not because it's hard, but because you wouldn't expect it to be a timing, so you might buffer it and just die, and remain a little confused. 2: when you do the spider secret way, you complete the level when the percentage on the progress bar is still at 96%, because the bar measures the lenght of the level how it should be without the skip, that has a part that goes back right after, while with the skip you just go forwards

[@souadghomari1422]

[@LeoYoshi54321]

While it is incredibly cool that Rob actually listened, fixing the coins and making Nock Em less... ramming your face into every wall to see what happens. The new Power Trip coins kind of bug me. It's like the coins turned from being lazy to being like an Early 2.0 level where it moves right after you jump and you have to react instantly, or just throwing an Alpha trigger over the route. I do prefer the new Power Trip coins (especially the third coin since it was dumb that it was given to you at the end), but playing through them for the first time gave me visions of earlier worse days for the GD Community. also 3:53 i can't believe my half-baked theory was actually correct, i made that assumption because of rob talking about how he had a schedule for 2.2 in like 2019 where he was gonna push out a World update in time for Christmas if 2.2 released on time.
