Pushing through hard stages
Tips
You can restart after every fall. The obstacle course stages get harder as you go.
- If a section keeps beating you, focus on just that one platform rather than trying to race past it.
- The stages are laid out in a single path, so if you can't see the next step, look around from where you are standing rather than guessing.
