Notes

ROCKET POWER: BEACH BANDITS NOTES AND OTHER STUFF TO REMEMBER. . .

note that the silver coin routes I made up are in a "beta" stage. There could very well be faster routes to get the coins, but I haven't looked into it much yet

coin count for each area in the run varies for each day

OCEAN SHORES DAY 1

shore shack: 5 coins
amusement park: 5 coins
city: 5 coins

don't grab first coin, just worry about jumping to Lars' clan

Pi's skateboard challenge trick order
Grind (L) -> 360 spin -> 540 spin -> up left -> up right -> down left -> down right -> front -> back -> trick & 360

not a lot of points to beat his challenge, extremely easy

after talking to officer shirley and getting masks, get coins in city with this route -> https://goo.gl/NVbsaR

then get coins in shore shack area with this route -> https://goo.gl/3oq6vZ

then get coins in the Amusement Park area before talking to the game dude (obviously) like this -> https://goo.gl/cNuMrp

LAKES

number = how many spins you should do for redirecting the water (first puzzle in the game)
where the numbers correlate to which boxes you spin
1 3 2 1 0
0 2 2 0 3
2 1 2 3 2

OCEAN SHORES DAY 2

shore shack: 3 coins
amusement park: 5 coins
city: 7 coins

get silver coins in city BEFORE talking to the officer. The reason for this is because you have to challenge golem jr. at skating immediately after talking to shirley and he takes you to madtown. You don't want to be going through more loading screens than you need to. Get silver coins with this route -> https://goo.gl/A0ksND

Golem Jr.'s roller blading challenge trick order
grind (L) -> 360 spin -> 540 spin -> up left -> up right -> down left -> down right -> grab + spin ->
front -> back -> back + up left -> front + 360 spin -> 720 spin

you should never fail his challenge, it's really easy

grab the coins in the shore shack area with this route -> https://goo.gl/YSYH2o
*make sure to grab first silver coin in this area right after beating golem jr.

grab the coins in the amusement park area with this route -> https://goo.gl/E1uNOx
* I accidentally collected all the coins before I recorded the video, but you should be able to understand
where the coins are

WISHING WATERS

damage boost off of the first robot after opening the gate to wishing waters over the river, like this
-> https://goo.gl/dkHxxT

if you aren't good at the damage boost over the electric floor (like me), grab checkpoint and then do it, or just take the risk of getting it in 1 try. If you fail it you have to go to the very beginning of the factory

also in that same room, make sure to actually kill some robots or else the big robot needed for the damage boost won't spawn right away

the boxes skip saves 20+ seconds, but is tricky to pull off, do it if you think you can get it consistent

first part room is middle right button

second part room is second button from left

movements for the circuit puzzle (left/right/up means what way you should move your control stick & c up/down/left/right means use the c stick to flip the circuit a certain way, | means that the circuit should be put in the circuit board thingy now). This will make sense the more you do it
left left | right right c down c right | right c up | c up | up | done

2 cycle cyrax is possible, you just have to be very quick about it. A demonstration -> https://goo.gl/SU9N5r

OCEAN SHORES DAY 3

shore shack: 3
amusement park: 3
city: 9

go straight to raymundo at the shore shack

get two coins before talking to shirley in the city, and the rest needed after you talk to her, as shown here -> https://goo.gl/TdI0b0

one of the cutscenes in this day you can skip, which is the one where you talk to ed after talking to raymundo. after getting all of the silver coins needed in the city, you will go straight to the madtown competition, which means don't go near the shore shack at all, just jump right into madtown to where conroy stands, right after the loading screen

get silver coins at shore shack area with this route (after madtown competition) -> https://goo.gl/bDFcyb
*try to make sure not to activate the golem industries guy cutscene which is near the first coin, wastes a lot of time if you do

get coins in amusement park area with this route -> https://goo.gl/AX7Hye

MONDO MOUNTAIN

it is extremely important that you take and keep the homing puck (the most powerful puck in the game) by where golem senior throws rocks at you, so you can kill the volcano god in 1 hit, instead of 3

the puzzle for Mondo Mountain is self-explanatory

hopefully you've kept most of your homing pucks, because you can use them to kill the tank in 2 shots

grab homing puck in the blue building thingy in the area after the volcano god (you will need lots of these for final boss)

hopefully you've kept most of your homing pucks, because you can use them to kill the tank in 2 shots

grab another homing puck in the robot army HQ

for the first phase of the golem sr. fight, it's possible to manipulate how many blue balls/lava balls he throws at you. all you need to do is shoot 3 pucks in middle of his throwing animation, and he will let down his shield. if he throws a blue ball, then it takes him about 3 seconds to take off his shield. if he throws a lava ball instead, then he instantly takes off his shield after the ball hits any kind of object. Hope for good RNG!
*you can destroy each pole in 1 hit if you've kept the homing puck, another wonderful reason to keep it throughout the rest of the game

in the second phase of the Golem Sr. fight, grab the homing puck, since it does more damage

intentionally get hit a bunch in the second phase (until 2 units of health left), because he will take down his force field if you get hit at all, which is much faster than waiting for him to stop shooting his laser each time. there's a chance he will charge at you, which is RNG, so once again, hope you get the best RNG possible

if you do not have full health before the second phase, I'd suggest just killing yourself after getting the checkpoint so you can get your health back, that's more worth it than having to wait out one extra cycle
