Ripto's Rage


Summer

This is the first of many flight training levels. The goal is to successfully pass through or flame 8 objects of a series. Ocean Speedway has rings, arches, cars and boats. Each successful leg rewards 80 gems. After each leg is complete a magic bell will clang several times. Getting all the objects in one pass before the timer runs out, rewards an additional 80 gems for a grand total of gee.. 400 gems (see a pattern?).

Ocean Speedway 1 The secret to all the speedway levels is to keep flying and to try the level many times. You may choose to do one leg at a time, quit and save the gems, then come back and do the next leg. You can practice as many times as you like. You will not lose a life. It took me 10 tries to get all 32 in one run, but it can be done once you determine the flight path sequence. You cannot miss any targets on your first sweep of the flight path that you choose because you will lose valuable time circling around trying to get a missed target.

Ocean Speedway 2 To get all 32 targets in 1 sequence, I did the following: All the rings first, then a hard left through the tunnel flaming all the cars against the flow of traffic while flying. [NOTE: Some may choose to use the supercharge power-up which is active while sprinting along the roads]. Jump over the road when it takes a hard left and fly left down to the boats flaming them while flying against the flow hugging the water closely, in a reverse figure-eight. Catch the arch in the middle of the lake and then left and through all the arches in sequecne. My time 1:10

There is a secret orb to be had in this level as well. Once you have all 400 gems, go to Queen Finny standing in the grandstand by the boat races. She will challenge you to follow Hunter through 20 rings. This is like an out-of-control roller-coaster ride on water and will take several attempts to complete. Be forewarned that it will make you dizzy and probably make your fingers ache.
