I've been playing King Dice's level for awhile now and I'm stuck on it. Need help/better tips

[LilLavender]

First off I've updated my review of this level and stating all the things that have messed me up there and that are generally not good game/gameplay wise (and my personal opinion regarding it as a whole level but forget that part).

I've been trying my best with it. I've looked up tip and trick videos for it even but those seem like they aren't working.

The equipment I'm using is the Smoke Bomb, The Roundabout, and The Chaser. I'm using the Super 1 for this level too. What tips are there specifically for me to hold onto my life long enough to get to the king dice fight? (I talk about how my life is kinda wasted on all the mini bosses before the king dice fight in my review). I don't know what I should change in my weapons or if I should use a different charm? I need help with this flawed level big time.

Thanks for reading!

Not sure why you're saying the level is flawed. What makes it flawed? Is it because the stage is too difficult for you? Also your opinion on the game shouldn't be involved in a post where you're solely asking for tips.

You can control the number on the pink die. It requires some practice, but you should be able to get the number you want each time with proper timing. And if it's still too difficult, P. Sugar gives you full control.

Since you can control which stages you go to, you should only have to deal with a minimum of 3 mini-bosses. Of course aiming for heart stages is optimal, but if you know you're going to get hurt in that specific mini-boss, then there's no point. It's better to aim for the easier stages rather than hearts.

These are the bosses I feel are the easier of each group, from easiest to more difficult. This is personal preference, so you should try to personally determine the bosses you have an easier time with.
First mini-boss: 3 > 2 > 1
Second mini-boss: 5 > 6 > 4
Third mini-boss: 7 > 8

9 is the memory mini-boss, and that can either be the easiest mini-boss (if the boss glitches and dies immediately), the longest mini-boss (complete the stage normally), or impossible (the boss becomes unkillable). I've had it become unkillable on 2 different occasions, so I'd avoid it if possible.

For the King Dice fight, you can parry the same pink card multiple times before moving on to the next pink card. Sometimes you'll have to dash midair to reach the next card.

The stage isn't too difficult for me its just really glitchy for me which causes me to die and doesn't register when I hit a button or when I'm parrying something (It will count the parry but still take away my life which is p effed up.) That opinion part too was only if people read my review to see what flaws I found in the game (I was telling them to DISREGARD my opinions if they were going to read it). I don't totally appreciate you trying to be belittling but thanks for the reply anyways.

Have a good day/night

I guess it's time to confess my sins.

Here we go...

I only beat King Dice because of the glitch

[Soleil]

I agree that the getting hurt even if you successfully parry something is a legit complaint. In your first post, you said that the stage was flawed but with no reasons, so I was asking a legit question. I was not trying to belittle you. This parry glitch can happen in other stages outside the King Dice fight too,.

[LilLavender]

Okay thanks for clarifying that with me. To answer your question, I kinda assumed people would've read my review sense thats where I account for the things I deem flawed in this level (which i shouldn't have just assumed so my bad). Thanks for your time and replying though.

Do you need any tips on specific mini-bosses?

Like one thing you can do (even though you shouldn't) is take a screenshot of the memory card game before it starts up. Then you can more easily match the cards.

[LilLavender]

The racetrack horse, The monkey, The Cigar, and how to avoid the start over (I can't get anything other than 3 on the parry dice T_T curse my timing)

[Soleil]

Racetrack Horse
- For the bottom of the screen, only the blue racers will shoot upwards to attack you. Shrink and rush past them. (Sometimes it's important to bait out their attack early on so it doesn't occur at the same time as the horseshoes.)
- The horseshoes move so slowly that they shouldn't be any issue, but shrink if you need to in order to avoid them.

Memory Game (Monkey)
- Honestly like I said before, just try to skip this one if possible. And you can cheese the "memory" part with an early screenshot of the cards.
- Sometimes the monkey will get stuck to the point where he stops moving but he is still vulnerable to attacks (you'll know he's vulnerable because enemies "flash" when they get hurt). Keep shooting. He'll eventually die and you won't even have to finish the memory game portion.

Cigar
What issue are you having here exactly? If you're using Smoke Bomb, then it should be super-easy to cross the gap. Which means the only thing that can hurt you is the flame projectiles.
Jump over the flame projectiles. Sometimes you'll need to duck. If these are causing you such an issue, then you need to enter a different mind state. There's 2 things that a player needs to focus on: platforming, and damaging the enemy. If you're getting hurt by the projectiles, put all of your focus into platforming and nothing else. (You should keep the weapon fire button pressed, but only focus on platforming.)

You don't have to land exactly on "The End" panel, you can roll a number that's even higher and it'll still count.

If you're having problems with controlling the die, don't continue playing the stage. Practice the first die roll, and restart the stage every time until you have the die timing down. The die timing is really important so you can control which panels you land on. And like I mentioned before, use P. Sugar if it's still too difficult.

Also, if you parry BEFORE the pink die even appears, parrying the die as soon as physically possible, it'll always roll a 1.

[Soleil]

Also even if you land on "Restart," you won't necessarily have to freak out or anything, because all of the previous mini-bosses you already defeated become safe panels, meaning all you have to do is roll appropriately to reach the end, and you shouldn't have to fight anything else.

Thank you very much! I'll definitely try these out!

Like you I had a hard time on parts of the King Dice level. Once you've learned the miniboss fights well enough to get to King Dice with 3+ health you should be able to take him down. I agree with you on parrying his attacks, the game is inconsistent and buggy with those card hitboxes. Sometimes I could parry the top of the card and sometimes it only worked on the center. Using Super II for invincibility really helped me. You just save it for one of the card sections and you can ignore a whole line of them. Make sure you've saved a super up before King Dice.

For getting the parry dice right make note of the number that comes up right before the one you want, then jump and parry when you see that number. If you want a 2 and 1 comes up before 2, jump and parry when you see 1.
