I've managed it, but it wasn't really worth many extra points since I could never manage to get a decent combo even with hands.
Yeah, I feel like beating up those gnomes could be perfected even with just feet. Haven't quite managed it, but… :fou:
I've used the turtles on LOTLD1 where you get the shock rocket early, again I'm not sure it's worth much extra, but you get the plum early too.
The plum early? Does that help comboing the Slapdashes?
Actually it does, that's what made it worthwhile.

Ah yes, now I get it. Now I just need to figure out how to get Better Rayman 3 working and I'm in business. :P
I should be able to use a similar trick to the Lutris guys for BG&E in widescreen. :idea:

Well, I'll have a look-see at the BG&E configuration after RD and see if it offers any insights!

Nice, I'd like to get it working. I actually haven't installed BG&E either, I want to get that patch working also.

You mean the Playable Camera Mode ones? They suck…
I will not myself attempting those. Now the SJs? THOSE will be pretty fun to try

When I was a child, I used to have nightmares about doing SJs IRL. This was before I knew they were a thing in games though. :confus:

I think so too. You get to rocket up into the air from a strange jump if I remember. It looks really neat and fun to try even if it's not for scoring.

I rememeber when I did that elevator glitch in TLOTLD 3, it was fun for me to discover that glitch!

I tried that too, but with the intention of getting on top of the platform.

If I remember in the tower when I entered I punched the switch and then immediately grabbed the platform that rose the highest. Rayman remained at the same height while the platform kept rising so I could grab the platform again once it stopped. Skipped all the other platforms that way, I find it might be useful for my next scoring attempt! :D

I only remember jumping on the platform before it had a chance to rise.

That might actually work too so I don't have to grab, maybe I'll give it a try on PC the next time

You have to be pretty quick with your timing though.

I think PC is somewhere in the middle with running speed. XBox was fastest, and GC was slowest, no?

I think there was something like that, and Xbox jumps the highest.
