Quills on sliding ramps need to go away

[Zen00]

Having them on a sliding ramp you can't get back up on except by redoing the whole platforming section again.... yeah, that needs to go away. Same with hiding a single quill underneath a platform inside a platforming section that you will probably miss.

I'm looking at you casino.

Totally agree with you on the first part. Quills on ramps are just sorta a ♥♥♥♥ move. In a row of 3 I usually somehow end up missing 1 of them which just leads to fustration.

Let me upload a video of me doing an exploit I found, it may help you. I haven't been in the casino so I'm not sure whether it will help you. Just give me a moment to upload.

If you're talking about in the Cashino:

1. Pull back on the joystick (or hold the Down key) to slide slower.
2. Transform and fly up the ramp.

If you're having a hard time finding other quills, equip the Hunter tonic.

Like every 3D platformer ever, thought they would instinctively know that if they've ever played SM64.

Why not just make the game play itself at that point? -_-

you must have to jump as soon as he starts sliding cuz you can't jump if you're already sliding.

My only issue with ramps is the lack of control you get when sliding down them and it's not even consistent. I'm referring to when you sometimes rebound violently left and right before it finally centers you on the ramp so you can actually slide down it normally. It waste time and it also unfairly prevents you from getting a collectable at times.

It's because the roll-in animation for the reptile roll is unstoppable and you can start the reptile roll before you touch the ground. Just do pretty much exactly what I did and you should be able to do it..

It can be quite tricky for larger length ramps, if you have problems, just come back when you have the flight move :P Fly to top of ramp, easy :)

[Zen00]

Yeah, I didn't know a flight move existed until long after I posted this. Still, bad positioning.

[nicus9]

Yeah I just transformed into a helicopter first thing and then flew around the entire map collecting everything.

But yeah I had that thought when I was trying to do the flying ring pagie at the top of the tower in the first level. I would miss a jump and fall, but I wouldn't die so I'd be at the very bottom and have to walk all the way back up. At least until I realized I could just kill myself and then I'd teleport back to the last door I went through. That was starting to piss me off (falling down, having to reset, then sit through the stupid pagie's dialogue everytime) so I understand what you're saying
