Title: Skipping the Door in Lost World
Post by: Redd on June 30, 2011, 01:41:06 pm

I can execute the first several shortcuts easily and get to the door in a pretty good time. But how the heck are you supposed to skip it on the first try? It usually takes me about twenty tries to do it, which ruins my chance of a good speed run. I just downloaded the game so I don't have the ancient light power up yet, if that makes any difference, which I doubt. Help?

There isn't a sure-fire way to skip the door on your first try, except gaining speed using the Jump Dash and ledge, then Spin Dash towards the corner, but you must adjust the Camera to do it[even in Free Camera]. I don't think that any of us, whether it is Crydio, Jawzun, or myself, can do it on our first try. Just gather a lot of lives, finish a level, then do Lost World.

[10:57:46] <+Groudon> He's lying.
[11:05:31] <+Groudon> By the time you reach Lost World, you already have the Ancient Light.

*Cough*

That was my immediate thought, "how the flip would downloading the game get you to Lost World without Ancient Light?!"  Unless there's a second way into Red Mountain...

Totally[Edit:not] off topic, but there isn't any way into Red Mountain without the Ancient Light. I've tried numerous times and failed every time. The only way to get to Red Mountain is to destroy the monkey in the cage. Unless you can figure out a way to do that without the Ancient Light, it isn't possible. If you could, we could skip the Light Dash copletely, as it is possible to get through the rest of the game without it, and would make Time Attack in Sky Deck so much easier XD

Upon further thought, you're right. XD I did get the Ancient Light, but not the Crystal Ring. Although, something was leading me to believe that the Ancient Light was found in the Ancient Past. Oh well. Yes, I'm now aware that it's the only way I got into Red Mountain. :P

The secret to skip the door is do a Spindash jump so close to this point in the screen:

Remember to change to Auto Cam to make it easier!

Hope I helped you!
