I have experimented heavily on every single difficulty of every single world (but not every test), and have discovered most of them are possible in very few jumps (or even none at all). Here's a complete list of every world and the fewest jumps I could complete them in.
Tube World: 0! [1 for Medium chest] Lava World: Surprisingly, 0! Ice World: 2 (Both in Hard) Beach World: 2 (Both in Hard) [Theoretically possible without any jumps but the ending makes it unbelievably difficult to do] Desert World: 0! Rails World: 1 (The only required one is in Medium) Roads World: 0!
Total jumps (All worlds, not including chests): 5 (Theoretically 3)
I will continue with the list of lowest jump counts for each test in the replies to this post.
Test 1: 0! Test 2: 0! [1 For chest] Test 3: 0! [Normal and chest] Test 4: 1 [Normal and chest] Test 5: 0! [Normal and chest] Test 6: 1 [Normal and chest] Test 7: 1 [Normal and second chest, 2 for start chest] Test 8: 3
Total jumps (All tests): 6 (8 for all chests) Total jumps (21 levels): 11 (14 for all chests)
i like this idea, im thinking the leaderboards might first be ranked off of amount of jumps (if thats possible) and once we find a verified cap of least jumps it could turn into a timed event (cause i feel there are a couple tactics that can prevent some jumps like on test 8 with the gap jump)
ranked off? timed event? what? why not just make it a sub-category and if someone gets lower than the set minimum then just lower the min to that
alright i found a potential work around, since the runs likely wont be more than 45 minutes for no jump (unless an absolutely insane strat gets made for low jump) the number of jumps in the run will be the hours on the leaderboard and everything else on the time is the same (that way the number of jumps still takes priority on the leaderboards but a run that has the same amount of jumps but is faster will still be ranked accordingly) the category is added
Suggestion: Update the rules for least jumps in the full-game leaderboard and low jumps in the IL leaderboard.
i just checked the rules "get the least" i guess i accidently saved it before i finished the sentence lmao
how do you dislike a forum post
