Title: OK... how the heck do you get 1:25:00 or less on Sand Oasis Mission 1? (SATSR)
Post by: DaDude on March 12, 2007, 01:30:58 pm: OK, I went full blast with speed, and only did one or two things, such as hitting a spikes, and at the end I mucked up one jump... I'm at level 75 with every speed up item. Yet here I am seeing people getting 15 seconds less than me! I know I'm not THAT bad. Is there a shortcut or something that I'm missing? I'll say what I do in a step to step guide:

- Do a quick jump for start, gets my speed going.
- I keep straight as possible, until I get to the Pearls. I then try to get every one (and no, I don't jump for the circle ones, I let them go into me with H-Pearl, or whatever it's called).
- I speed burst as soon as I hit the Zip Pad
- I do a quick jump at the ledge, and just run along, dodging enemies.
- Again, I hit every pearl, and hit the zip pads.
- I get to the zip pad jump. As soon as I land, I do a quick speed burst. I turn it off when I get to the second zip pad jump
- I just keep running, and absorbing all the pearls. As soon as I land, I wait till I get past the zipped ball, then speed burst
- I do a quick hop through flames, so I don't take damage. I sometimes get enough pearls for a speed burst after this, but not always.
- I stick to the left, ignoring the pearls by the spikes.
- I get the pearls on the rails, but I DON'T go on the rail itself (slows me down, so there's no point).
- I walk by the spikes, and make sure I don't get hit. I once glitched past the 4 spikes, but I have't been able to redo it.
- I speed burst through this little section
- I make sure I make my jumps carefully through this section, not falling off
- I speed burst into the goal.

Thanks for any tips. And what's this so called "Aegis Slider"?

Answered your own question. Check Blazien's guide for the details, but the gist is that you go into a slide as soon as you hit the top of the wall and fly through the whole sidling section.

Post by: X-5 on March 13, 2007, 02:04:28 am: I think you all cheat, I got 3:57 on a almost flawless run using the shortcuts(lost 5 seconds max) but im still like 2 and a half minutes off the record. obviously I don't expect a record first try or anything but I KNOW when something is impossible.

also I watched ks8s video oh and that other guys night palace thing or whatever they both run so fast i think they use a running cheat, mine does NOT run that fast wtf I hold the controller as forward as possible and he just won't run any faster. and i bet you all use the same cheat to get 1:25 :(

Post by: Rolken on March 13, 2007, 02:22:52 am: Yes, a few of the most trusted members on the site, including the admin, and even a fellow with video evidence, are clearly cheating, in spite of the obvious fact that the game has a levelling system that improves your skills as you progress. I suggest that you go back and read Sprint's sticky in Leaderboard Disputes, and then refrain from further inane accusations.

Post by: Mo on June 19, 2007, 05:50:41 pm: If you want to get close to getting under 1:25 ageis slide through the wall with too many obstacles, don't get hit at all,use speed break through the room with fire and speed break at the end.If you do all my strageties right you can get under 1:25 if you're lucky and if you're not lucky you can get under 1:30.Also, if you use the platform glitch after you slide on the wall you can cut of another 2 to 3 seconds.My record on this stage is 1:29:10.
