hey, time had come for me to platinum micro donkey, i had been dreading this since i managed gold there a while ago. i first started trying it, with no luck. i either got random foults on multiple locations or i got way to slow time when i rode carefully.
then i took the 50cc bike and rode it on a bunch of other tracks, for practice. i did this one whole session, a few hours maybe. then yesterday, i tested micro donkey again, and got the platinum within a few tries, with one of the best rankings so far, i thk i got 145ish global on that one, pretty stoked.
after stoppping celebrating, haha, i decided to try pro speedway, the only medium track i missed a plat on. (i had al,ost given it up, just randomly trying it when i was bored) and dammit, i got this aswell withing a few tries. superstoked! to top it off i vent to next in line witch was concrete dreams(?) i thk, and got that aswell very fast.
so my hypotesis is that mastering the 50cc bike will increase you overall level aswell, anybody else got similar experiences?

I agree with you, yes. I've managed to complete several tracks with the Donkey. A couple I remember being a particular pain in the *** were Concrete Dreams and Technique... But I still can't get platinum on Pro Speedway haha. If anyone has any verbal tips on that track I would be greatful. I've watched a ton of replays but I just can't manage to be consistent enough in the beginning to even attempt to be good at the ending.Originally Posted by eflixxx
But yea, I love the donkey, it's great fun for when the game is just pissing me off and I want to blow off some steam and be silly for a while XD
separate leaderboards for the donkey bike would have been mint...
as for whether it improves your skill. yeah i suppose it must do because it's so hard to not fault with it on regular tracks.
hey I spent about three evenings for about 3 hours each doing this one and I found the back wheel off the start into the curved ramp and front wheel then back wheel to hop on the first platform easy enough but then the ramp after this is crucial as it sets up the whole fast section of the track and if you leave that second platform wrong your just end up smacking every ramp on the wAy down, if u can't hop onto that second ramp at speed ( I can't most of the time and end up with my back wheel hanging which then hits everything else on the way down) I found it easyier to land on first platform after curved ramp, catch back wheel on second ramp to slow me down or stop and then gas it with a bunny hop which gets a good run all the way through, that random jump which tries to grip u up can be a pain, after that I found catch the back wheel on the ramp stickin out right before u land on horizontal ramp, to quickly step up headin towards the final dip, I just went down the dip and up the other side as couldn't consistantly go across the top, hope this helps sorry it wasn't breif lolOriginally Posted by Bry
updated post with link to Donkey Business run on youtube
and i agree with prospeedway being a b1tch! i thought id never get plat on it. the shortcut at the end is pretty annoying to get right, and it seems you have to use it to get the needed time
You don't need to use the shortcut at the end to get the platinum time. I have done less than perfect runs with times around 36s without the shortcut. But, you certainly don't have time to try the shortcut, fail, and then use the lower route as a backup if you aim for the platinum.Originally Posted by eflixxx
Hence why I said just go down n back up, there's plenty of runs which I'm not very happy with, once all plats are acheived I want to go back over the ones I missed shortcuts and hone my techniques smelting hazard being one of them, I just hope redlynx bring out something similar so all these skills don't go to waste! Obviously having loads of fun doing this but would also be nice to have something to take them too![]()
I think there's a lot of people would say "I feel you man" or "I remember when I was at that stage"
I just got donkey business and pro speedway recently and by that time I was flying thru the hard tracks and last week did all the extreme! It gets to the point where you start to think I'm actually pretty good at this![]()
Keep it up dude, the more you practice....
i feel you man.
i remember when i was at that stage.
