Not necessarily because of the time limit, but because there's no Kong Barrels so you only have two hits with a lot of obstacles. It's short, but I found myself struggling a bit. The Boss was.well the Cranky Trick was harder to pull off than it looks, but I was able to do it to get through the 1st phase fast enough I won pretty handily with enough time. There's a part where you gotta wait for bombs which I wondered if it was skippavle somehow but nope, a rare instance where there's no way to speed up like some of the other puzzles. It wasn't like a breeze, but generally they were all easier than most land levels.and the Mine Kart level was also very simple to beat on TA.īut since I was doing so many swimming segments it made the land levels hard because my skills dulled a bit.Sea Stack Attack especially. I was worried about the underwater segments but they were generally pretty lenient.Diddy Kong has his one use here in Time Attack lol. And the bosses, as those kind of stray into tedium to get a good time since there's a lot of waiting and that stresses me out.īut damn I never both with Time Attack in games but I feel accomplished. Was worried the semi-auto part at the end would be tough but once I made it to that after falling into pits on the way I cleared it easily. Wanted to try with Cranky to learn his momentum better, but I kept trying too risky stuff and falling into pits. I used him for the Time Attack, but I wonder if it's faster to use just the Kongs? Not sure if his charge is faster than the continuous roll.Ī bit of a block with Horn Top Hop. Forgot he doesn't show up till World 2 here. God, I love the Windmill Hills theme-always felt it sort of became what I imagine to be Dixie's theme and what I'd choose for her Smash reveal trailer.Īnd then the Rambi level.

World 2 hasn't been so bad for far.Windmill Hills was the tightest win for me just like the first level of World 1.

I rarely attempt Time Attack stuff or speedruns in games, so this is new to me.anyone else attempt Gold Medals in Tropical Freeze? Any super difficult spikes I should be aware of? General tips? And I guess Dixie is somewhere in the middle with her ponytail being useful for some sequence breaks but not necessarily forward momentum. I've heard Diddy is the least useful with Cranky being the best, but the latter seems to have a bit more skill ceiling and is for folks who want to really go for crazy records. I'm not perfect, but it's amazing how seamless you can chain jump across enemies.Īnyway my biggest anxiety is knowing which Kong to use. Man, I've heard it said before but this game really has clever enemy placement when it comes to Time Attack. Bayou Blast gave me a bit of trouble as well, as did the Boss, but nothing has been as hard as Level 1 so far and I'm quickly getting into the groove.

The biggest struggle for me was surprisingly the first stage-the automated segments kind of leave little room for error.but after that otherwise I've managed to Gold Medal every level in World 1 bar the Zip Line level, which I forgot to unlock, and therefore the Kong Temple. This time around I'm actually attempting Gold Medals in Time Attack as well. I recently purchased Tropical Freeze for the Switch, as it's been like almost a decade since I fully completed the base game of Tropical Freeze for the Wii U in terms of all levels, all Puzzle Pieces, all Kong Letters.
