The damage values I know, assuming the crane has 100HP Orbinaut - 20 Jawz - 15 Ramming Speed/ Sneaker - 10 Banana Snipe - 30 SPB - 50 Do correct me if I’m wrong about any of these. If I didn’t mention an item that appears in this mode, I’m uncertain of its damage value.

@@DeeGeeSeventeen You can easily get a 3x Ballhog to test in Church, Steeple or Roulette, if you ever want to. Looking at the footage, though, it looks to only be about 10? damage per bomb (the most effective it can be is 50 on the spreadshot... IF you can even get 5x. Usually it's capped to 3x, meaning only about 30 damage - the same as a Banana.) The Proximity Mine is here too, its first appearance is in Venice, but it's also given to you in Alley. Looking there, it seems to deal around 25-ish damage to the Catcher. Gallery's Gachaboms only deal 10 damage each, considering you have to hit, like, 10 total. Towers's Gardentop is ...quite a bit more complicated.

He may not be the best playing, but one thing is sure, he is very synchronized with the patterns of the traps and the Claw's movements. Once you know the delay of every object, you can understand how to move with your Ring Racer.

Rooftops last segment was really annoying, I actually found it harder than Atlantis
@bonegamerthecyndaquill71816 ай бұрын
@@yellowwtangg The final segment of Rooftops actually very easy, IF you know what to do. Just before the gap, you need to make sure you're going down the slope RIGHT NEXT to the edge of the platform, and if aligned correctly, you'll stay on solid ground during and after the gap. It's worked perfectly for me every single time, and significantly lowers the stage's difficulty. Try it out for yourself and see if that statement you made still holds true or not.

Dude having to replay cups just to attempts these again hurt me mentally and physically due to how much time it takes.

I would LOVE to see these levels in base SRB2 as an extra challenge. Imagine that. Jumping from place to place, pulling off crazy stunts, chasing down the same exact claws in order to attack them with methods depending on what character you choose. And for the insanely fast characters, brand new levels specifically designed around that speed, like an Act 2 level from Generations (or Act 1, in the case of Shadow Gens), with the claw and emerald moving faster to accommodate for the higher speeds.

some lore reason we arent really aware about i think charyb (head dev behind them) called them a getaway between dimensions or something, one that is locked until you escape with an emerald in hand why sealed star? might have something to do with the huge vault in the background, after all it does come off after you complete a special stage, revealing nothing but all white light
