I finally didn't turn into friggin Elliot at the end Stick canyon Mare 4 (Although there were only 4 seconds left, I got a B on that Mare)!



Okay...I'm done.

[animejosse]

You go! That last mare is the only one I dislike >_< How did you do it?

I rushed up the last part while somehow getting all the blue chips in site. I had about 47 seconds left when I started and about 25 seconds left on the second part of that roller coaster then dashed my butt off before Elliot showed his face.

I had about 40 something blue chip. But i usually have about 60, but then I turn back into Elliot!

Congrats! Ya gotta be right speedy on that Mare.

[Kbooki]

Congrats! Anyone who can get a B in any mare of Stick Canyon can kick my ass... XD granted... I suck... but I just hate that level haha.

Practice! The part that annoys me most is the vertical elevator shaft; I forget how to properly avoid those dropping thingies half the time.

But ya, I totally have an "A" in Stick Canyon, just like every other stage *so humble*

Thats kinda like the first time I beat it. Except I had one second left. O.O I was drill dashing my butt of to make it in time.

Good job though. If you practice enough and don't get hit by anything on the way up then you should have 20 seconds to spare. I aways make it a goal to get there before 60 seconds comes up. But I guess I really don't have to. Its hard not to get by stuff on the way up. But you have to if you want an A. Man I hate that level. It took forever to get an A on because of that one stupid Mare!

[infractus]

That's pretty good. Like most everyone else, took me forever to even get a stupid B on Stick Canyon.


Question for ya, just random... what controller are you using? I'm starting to think the analog controller would be slightly more effective on that last mare compared to the regular controller. That, or maybe my dexterity is just overall crappy :-P

Screw perfection C's all the way baby

I'm using the 3D pad and im using the "360" part of it.

[EZEKiAL]

I've gotten an A on that mare before! =D -shot-

[JaxTH]

I forgot to mention they made me fight Puffy at Stick Canyon. I had been getting D's on Puffy. AND after doing Stick canyon! but before I made this topic I went ballistic at the site of Puffy and ended up getting a 1.8 on her.

oooh, that's actually the only part I think I like... yeah I still always get hit by those things though. >_>; *will practice* >D

Well don't you just think you're so special? lol
Good job! ^^

I actually happen to find that Stick Canyon Mare 4 is one of my favorite levels. Where else in the game can you ride a roller coaster?

... it seems more like a giant metal flyswatter! lol The best part is if you turn back into elliot just before you get flung off at the end and fall to your unsightly death... I laugh every time. XD

[Sage]

Congratulations Jax! Stick Canyon mare 4 gave me issues when I first started too. Good work!

... and then you had to fight Puffy? Aw, what a rip! You put in all that hard work and you weren't rewarded with Reala! Now that bites. XD XD

Nice job kicking Puff's ass at a 1.8 though. Sounds kinda like you went super saiyan there. XD

[iNSOMNiAC]

Wow, great job Jax! *pops Puffy for you* I'm still working on Mare 4 though. D= I always turn into Elliot halfway on the roller coaster/flyswatter/whatever. DX Wish me luck!

[Blue Fantasy]

Congrats!! Not that I have my file anymore since the battery in my Saturn always dies when I store it for a while, but that was the one that gave me trouble in getting all A's. I never even tried to do it until I heard about the "extra" ending thing. And if they gave me the wrong boss afterwards, it was all screwed...

[Kraken]

Mare 4 influenced my six-year-old mind and made me abhor all things industrial, I think, haha.

But yeah, it's awesome to finally take it down. >=D Revenge!

[JaxTH]

Yeah. I hadn't beat NiGHTS again (since I got a battery for my Saturn). All i did was get D's with Puffy. Then I kept trying about 7-10 times and kept getting D's. So when I saw Puffy that time I was just enraged.

They gave me Reala on Puffy's level after I beat stick Canyon.

[animejosse]

I never knew that grades determined what sort of bosses you get.

They don't. After clearing the game it's either set so that you end up with one boss all the time, or to random. You can change that in the menu (which took me some days to discover... doh.)

[animejosse]

Oh. I never realized that. *Goes to try it out*

It's very useful for getting high scores

[EZEKiAL]

Or for beating the hell out of Reala for no reason.

[InTheNightlight]

Congrats! I usually 'Aptiva' RIGHT before I make it to the Ideya Palace and get caught by the Alarm Egg. I HATE THAT FLIPPING MARE SO MUCH!

Technically, I just hate it, cause I'M an idiot. I keep flying into those Stupid Metal Balls that fall on you! Even WITH the BEEP! BEEP! of an alarm!

[iLLViLLAiN]

Yeah I was never a fan of Stick Canyon. It's starting to grow on me now but I still avoid it. That's why I chill at Spring Valley. Aw, beautiful Spring Valley

[JaxTH]

LOL. People are still congratulating me on this.

xP

AWESOME!

Mare 4 of Stick Canyon can be a bit tricky, but it's easy once you get the hang of dodging the balls on the vertical climb. That's where you always lose most of your time. I got a nasty little secret for you though... You can still run out of time on Mare 4 and get an A with even more points than you would have as NiGHTS. Here's how:

• Make sure to at least get to the contraption that flings NiGHTS around the stage on a pseudo-rollercoaster ride. You'll want to run out of time in the middle of that ride.
• When you're ejected from it as Elliot, you'll fall and lose all your blue chips. Pick 'em up to get 30-40+ link.
• Find the huge chain-link metal tower that leads back up to the rollercoaster thing. Collect any blue chips you can find on the way.
• Once you're at the tower, hop in the elevator (yes, there's an elevator!) that will take you to the top. IIRC, blue chips will automatically be drawn to you on the way up.
• Hop on the rollercoaster pad to start the ride. This time around, you'll have the advantage of Elliot's blue chip magnetism. You can rack up some really huge links easily!
• When you're ejected this time around, all the blue chips will still be with you. Make your way to NiGHTS palace and check out your score!

Hope that helps!

[phosphorus]

Oh Stick Canyon, how I kind of avoided you before I came to appreciate you... That was probably the best thing to come from JoD, for me at least.

[MiTCH]

Just got A there! 2Bs, 1C, and a mysterious A in the 4th mare. O.o Then I 2.0'd Jackle. Only Elliot's Twin Seed left to perfection!
