How to start speedrunning Crossy Road
Updated 4 years ago by Kuromu

Hi! In this guide i want to tell you some things i learnt while practicing Crossy Road speedruns! Let's get into it.

  • If you want to speedrun CR on PC, make sure to download the game and NEVER play the browser one. I don't know if it's just me, but i can never move fast on the browser one, so PC app is necessary.

  • Figure out, what fast clicking method suits you. If you can butterfly click better than jitterclicking, butterfly click. Pretty simple, right? Also, don't limit yourself to mouse only, use your keyboard too! For my 25 hop run (which at the moment is 2nd best on all platforms) i jitterclicked with my pointing finger, pressed up arrow with my thumb a couple of times, and mashed spacebar using the butterfly click method. You need to get as big of an advantage you can get, but never do something "illegal".

  • Rivers are your WORST enemy. There is nothing worse, than being on your last hops, and jumping straight down a river.

  • Wait for an exact moment to start hopping. If you see the train light blinking, don't start. Just wait for the ideal moment and start spamming asap. Also, don't just mindlessly start hopping if you see a car right in front of you. You will most likely end your run REALLY quick.

  • Start timing your runs right. Do mods a favour, and give correct times of your runs. As the rules say: "Time starts the frame when the hand under "Crossy Road" disappears. Time ends the frame 25 appears on screen."

I think that it's pretty much everything you need to know before starting your CR speedruning journey. Thanks and Good Luck!
