Getting used to roller skates
Step
Roller skates behave nothing like normal obby movement. Because they carry momentum, the question is never just whether to jump, but when to commit and how much speed you are carrying at that exact moment. Replaying the first few stages until the controls feel natural is time well spent.
- Replay stages 1 through 3 run them repeatedly until acceleration and stopping feel predictable.
- Practice turning curves are harder than straight lines on skates, so give them deliberate attention early.
- Learn jump timing the distance you cover in the air changes with your speed, so get a feel for that relationship.
- Practice braking figure out how early you need to slow down before a gap or obstacle so you stop where you intend.
What to check when a stage stops you
Check
When you keep falling on the same stage, stop and work out exactly where the run is going wrong before trying again.
- Find where you are falling if it is the same spot every time, focus your practice only on that section.
- Check your speed coming in too fast is the most common reason for missing a platform or overshooting a turn.
Unlocking and using powers
Tips
Each time you finish a stage, the game can hand you a new ability. These powers are designed to help you past tougher sections, so testing each one as soon as you get it is worthwhile. None of them cost anything — they are part of normal progression.
- Try every new power immediately after it unlocks to understand what it actually does.
- Because all powers come free through progress, no stage requires spending anything to get past it.
Pushing for leaderboard times
Tips
The speedrun leaderboards are one of the game's main long-term goals. Competing on them means shifting your mindset from 'finish the stage' to 'finish it as fast as possible.'
- Test multiple routes through each stage — the obvious path is rarely the fastest one.
- Use powers at precise moments rather than early or late, since timing can cut several seconds off a run.
