World 1 biome order
StepEvery biome you enter gives you a badge, so you always know exactly how far you have come. Clear all four and you unlock the World 1 Completed badge.
- Grass Plains the opening area of World 1.
- Snowy Hills the second biome.
- Old Cave the third area, routing you and your partner through an underground section.
- Volcano the final stretch of World 1.
Keeping the plank steady as a team
TipsBecause both players share one plank, a mistimed input from either person throws the whole run off.
- If you plan to use a troll item, warn your partner first so they are not caught off guard.
- If you spot a bug, report it in the official communications server.
Troll items and skins
SummaryTroll items have three distinct effects you can trigger mid-course. Skins are purely cosmetic.
- Explode launches a blast that disrupts nearby players.
- Slip causes a player to lose their footing.
- Fling throws a player through the air.
- Skins purchased from the in-game shop to customise your character's appearance.
