| − | === Moving ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | There are different ways to move around in this game. You can often choose which method you use but sometimes you will be forced to use a specific method (e.g. jumping or crouching). You should also avoid things that slow you down (e.g. getting hit by enemies). The following is a list of the movement methods and slowdowns in the levels.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== Pursuit levels / Boss Levels / Level Select ====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===== Movement Methods =====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | # Walking: Holding right or left and walking straight forward is the fastest way to move.
| + | |
| − | # Jumping/Falling: You will move a bit slower than walking while jumping and falling.
| + | |
| − | # Helicopter Jumping: It's basically the same like jumping but you need longer to reach the ground and thus start walking later.
| + | |
| − | # Crouched Walking: It's much slower than the above mentioned methods, only use it when it is necessary to enter an area.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===== Slowdowns =====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * Getting hit by enemies: You can't move towards the enemy for a moment after beeing hit by him. If the enemy is at a higher position than you you will also be lifted up to him and will make a bigger extra jump.
| + | |
| − | * Landing on enemies heads: This will make you do a small extra jump.
| + | |
| − | * Attacking: Using the attack will slow you down to almost stopping to move completely (if you don't cancel the attack).
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== Skate Levels: ====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | There are two things that manipulate your speed in this kind of levels. Both apply only to staying on the ground and not to jumping:
| + | |
| − | * Skating uphill: decreases your speed gradually
| + | |
| − | * Skating downhill: increases your speed gradually
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===== Movement Methods =====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | # Crouched Skating : Crouching while skating gives you a permanent speed boost.
| + | |
| − | # Jumping : Jumping is slower than crouching on even and downhill paths. However it is faster when skating uphill.
| + | |
| − | # Normal Skating : It's very slow so the level can be easier completed. This movement type has no use if you want to complete the level fast.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Jumping ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * The longer you hold the jump key, the higher you jump. There is a maximum jump height of course.
| + | |
| − | * If you press "Jump" again at the top of your jump to start the helicopter you will reach a little extra height. This can be used to reach platforms quicker.
| + | |
| − | * If you press jump very briefly you can avoid going onto platforms that are near above you.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Helicopter ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== Stopping the helicopter ====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | When you are using the helicopter and want to stop it while in air you can do so by just releasing the "Jump" key.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== Helicopter when falling ====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | You can press the jump key when falling of a ledge to start the helicopter. This does mostly work but sometimes it doesn't.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Pick up items ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== Put on the ground and pick up new item at the same time ====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | You can pick up a new item at the same time you are putting another item on the ground by going to the new items position. Then put your current item on the ground and the items will be exchanged. The old item will not lay on the exact same position though.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== Grab items after jumping onto a platform ====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Normally you have to wait a moment before Pink Panther is ready to grab items after landing on a platform, but if you move only a little bit (turn around or make one step) you can instantly grab the item. That applies to putting items on the ground too.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== Grabbing while jumping ====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Grabbing is usually not possible while you are jumping. You can do it only when you are near a stalker with an item in his hand.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Attacking ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== Cancelling Attacks ====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | When the ceiling is too low to jump over an enemy you will be forced to attack him to push him away and make him head in the other direction. Normally you would have to wait until Pink Panther stops spinning around to continue but you can cancel the remaining attack animation by jumping.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Windows and doors ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | You dont have to stand on the ground to use windows or doors. You can use a window/door as soon as the thought bubble appears and until it disappears.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== Hidden Windows/Doors ====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The game developers seem to have changed the level design of some levels and forgot to remove the old windows and doors. There are two known places where there are invisible windows/doors that are the exact copy of another window/door in the level.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | These levels are:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Level 4: Inside the pyramid with the key there is a hidden door on the stairs.
| + | |
| − | Level 11: There are two hidden windows on the platform above the Jack's Club entry.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | For a more detailed description look at the level guide.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Skipping Tasks ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | You can skip many tasks by glitching through the object that is blocking your way. There are three methods to achieve this. The level guides will include which method is recommended to use for each object.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== Method 1 ====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | # Go in front of the object until you can't continue walking. Sometimes it's useful to start running towards the object from a certain distance. It can happen that you already walk into the object quite a bit.
| + | |
| − | # Press the key to the opposite direction briefly. You should only turn around but not walk in the direction.
| + | |
| − | # Now turn around again normally. You will walk into the object a bit.
| + | |
| − | # Repeat step 2 and 3 until you can pass the object.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== Method 2 ====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | This is the same like Method 1 but at Step 3 you do this instead:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * Turn around again and press the direction key repeatedly as fast as possible. If you are lucky you can make two or more steps into the object.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== Method 3 ====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | You can combine this method with method 1 or 2.
| + | |
| − | After step 1 do a high jump and start the helicopter. Fly towards the object. You should be able to jump over a invisible barrier and into the object.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Skip boss sequences ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | When you watched either the cutscene of the second or third boss once, both of the cutscenes will be autoskipped as long as the game is opened. This even works when starting a new game or loading a saved game. This saves about 11 seconds because you don't have to watch the dinosaur cutscene.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Skipping information signs ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | You can skip most help texts by jumping over the signs and some also by crouch walking under them. It is not possible to skip them if you don't have enough space to do a long enough jump. The sign before "The Greenhouse" for example is unskippable.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Bombs / Explosions ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== Manually explode bombs ====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | You can manually let bombs explode instead of waiting until the timer is at zero. Go to your keyboard configuration to find out which key can be used to that. You should be far away enough from the bomb when hitting the key, otherwise it might happen that you are caught in the explosion or that the bomb explodes but doesn't remove the object.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== Evading explosions ====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | If there is enough margin between an object and a bomb you can go right in front of the object. Then jump to not get caught in the explosion and let the bomb explode manually while still in air.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Continue fast after finishing a level ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | When you finish a level and are brought back to the level select, you are asked whether you want to save the game or not. If you choose "NO" ("Hide" key), you can continue immediately, there will be no more dialogs. If you choose "YES" you will be asked whether you want to override the existing save game and after that the game will confirm that it saved the game. So choose "NO" every time you finish a level, it is much faster.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Video Sequences Game Crash ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Video sequences are all constructed like this:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | # Black Bars at the bottom and the top of the screen appear
| + | |
| − | # You loose control, the item in your hand is consumed and something happens
| + | |
| − | # Black Bars start disappearing and you regain control
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | There is a area in the level where the sequence is played. When you exit this area before the sequence is completely finished and later reenter the area, the video sequence will start again. If you don't quickly leave that area when this happens, the item that is currently in your hand will disappear and be used for that sequence. The game will crash if you have no item in your hand or if you exit the level after the video sequence played two or more times.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | This can happen in two levels:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * Level 1: Monkey
| + | |
| − | * Level 11: Aquarium
| + | |
