All I need for straight A's are the roller coaster and bomb missions. I think I have the bomb mission figured out, but the roller coaster pretty much has me baffled. I can clear the stage without hitting anything and getting pretty much all the green links, but I can only ever manage to score a B. Are there specific times you need to boost (I've tried boosting just downhill and just uphill, that doesn't seem to work)? Do you need to hit the marens as you go along (they're only worth 100 and actually seem to slow you down). Any ideas?

EDIT: Never mind, I figured it out. Save the majority of your boost for when NiGHTS is completely on the track. Don't boost so much when you're moving him around.

For the bomb, I scored 22,510 for an A rank, so try to finish at above 200 sec. Keep dashing & go through as many rings as you can without stopping at all, & try to stay in the middle underwater ^_^

Yea, that's how I've been doing it, but I always hit at least one bomb. You know how frustrating it is to do the level perfectly and then hit the very last bomb? I've done it four times now. FOUR!

Edit: 35+ times now... I'm going to destroy a controller before this is all said and done.

Edit: 45+ times... Finished with 199 seconds without hitting anything. UGH!

It took me ~15-20 tries, you'll get eventually. Try to steer & then dolphin dash. Do you have any tips for the Roller Coaster? I always get 12-14 seconds.

Oh Christ... I figured out what I was doing wrong with the bomb level. I didn't realize there were so many rings and blue chips above the water (durrrr). I had been just going for speed w/o hitting bombs underwater. Well, I have straight A's now! WOO!

As for the roller coaster, I can do it w/ 16 seconds left. Just avoid the marens and most (not necessarily all) of the boosting should be done when NiGHTS is completely touching the coaster rails. He'll go faster that way.

Edit: WOO X2. I'm ranked 11th on the bomb mission now.
