The coin only appears in the **Time Trial** Game mode. It will reduce your final time by approximately 3 seconds.

## Puppy:

The puppy will spawn in a random area in the map. Picking up the puppy will protect you from the Kraken up to 3 times.

# What should I watch out for?

Well, first of all, any obstacles.

Also, ripples and seaweed that will slow you down

Whirlpools, that flip your direction

NPCs, which are basically moving obstacles

And of course, the Kraken: The Kraken spawns in many different spots on the map. Upon passing through those areas, the Kraken will activate. He will constantly follow you until he reaches you, instantly ending your run.

Remember, the puppy can be picked up, protecting you from the Kraken.

# Cheat Codes and/or Exploits:

(**Note: Using cheats will cause the run to be rejected upon submission, unless the category is dedicated to said cheat).**

## 1. Kraken mode:

In an Endless mode run, going only left for the first 700m of the run will lead you to an area surrounded by 8 Krakens and a bunch of obstacles, and in the center, 3 whirlpools (highlighted by a one green square if High Visibility is on).

The area, High Visibility off:

The area, High Visibility on:

![](/static/blob/wzxx3lrz.png)

Going through the whirlpools (more so the green square that appears when High Visibility is on) will turn the player in a Kraken.

As the Kraken, the player is unstoppable. Hitting any obstacles will destroy the obstacle. Hitting NPC surfers will stun them. Hitting Boosts will destroy the Boosts. All of this while leaving the player unnafected.

## 2.  Ninja Cat :D

(**Note: activating this cheat code will still allow the run to be submitted and verified).**

By pressing "up arrow; up arrow; down arrow; down arrow; left arrow; right arrow; left arrow; right arrow; B key; A key" on PC, the player's character will be turned into a Ninja Cat.

The Ninja Cat:

### 3. EDGE

Typing "edge" while in the character selection screen will provide you with infinite Speed Boosts for 1 round.

![](/static/blob/1n834d9z.png)

Refreshing the page will negate the cheat code's effects.

## 4. MICROSOFT

Typing "Microsoft" while in the character selection screen will provide you with infinite Hearts for 1 round. You will still be vulnerable to the Kraken.

![](/static/blob/wzxjoq7e.png)

Refreshing the page will negate the cheat code's effects.

## 5. BIG

Typing "big" while in the character selection screen will make your character significantly larger for 1 round. This will surprisingly **not increase your hitbox's size!**

Character before cheat code:

Character after cheat code:

![](/static/blob/pzm9dg4n.png)

Refreshing the page will negate the cheat code's effects.

## 6. SAFE

Typing "safe" in the character selection screen will provide you with infinite hearts and shields for 1 round. You will be safe from everything, even the Kraken.

## How does the Timing System work?

(From 08/07/2024 onwards)
For Endless and Zig Zag Runs, they must contain the full footage, uploaded to YouTube. From there we use the website "https://retime.mcbe.wtf" to retime the run, for more accurate timing. This method helps to keep the leaderboards accurate.
For Time Trial Runs, the in-game timer is utilized (final time including a reduction from collecting coins) to time the runs.

## Is there anything else I need to know?

That's basically it. Unless you want to know niche information that's unnecessary, this guide has explained all the needed information to you.
