Tinkerer race on Oscorp building in Manhattan

[Dalmostia]

Has anyone been able to complete this race? If so what is the best character.? This is one of the worst platform races I have seen in lego. I keep hitting my head on the platform above me about half way up after going through the first level of moving platforms than the side walls and the two sets of rails on each side. It is here I bonk my head and fall to doom.

Use a character WITHOUT flight or double jump.

Odd, I used Black Panther. I tried Spidey, and his web climb let me skip some parts, but I fell with him in the same spot you're talking about.

I did that just yesterday, and I found a way to get it really simple. It's not a cheat, I think it's a glitch, hope it works for you.
First, get a character with Hyper Jump. I used Iron Man, but any other character, like Spidey, should do the trick.
Push the red button and run to away from the screen, to the orange energy wall. Don't stop running until I told you so.
When the laser grid starts ascending, it wont touch you, because you'll be over the frame, not the grid, and it will elevate you too. Now, while it ascends, you must take care and dodge all the plattorms. Don't forget you must be running away from the screen while dodging.
When the laser grid stops ascending, you'll be a little bit below the last platform. Now you can stop running, and use your hyper jump to get to the last platform. Push the big red button, all you'll get your shiny new gold brick.

It's not a glitch i think its intentional. The hazard strip bars show you you can stand on it and ride it almost all way. If you aren't supposed to do it like that then good luck! xD

Its Gamora that keeps hitting her head. She is the one that gets me the closest.

Don't mind me, I'll just hijack this thread:

I'm stuck on the panther puzzle below the waterfall inbetween Wakanda and Medieval England. What combination do I have to set the wheels to?

All four, I think.

"This puzzle was brought to you by YOUR WORN-OUT CONTROLLER STICKS." Ah well, will try.

EDIT: Yep, that was it. Completely without any feedback and stuff.

Thanks.

I got through it using someone with double jump though I cannot recall just who it was I used.

No matter who I use, I keep hitting my blasted head on that platform just after the long wall jump section. This is utterly impossible.

One video guide used Iron Fist, who apparently doesn't come to a dead stop if he hits his head. Useful to know.

I can confirm that I was also able to get through this with Iron Fist. There is one spot where he hits his head and I could not get that jump until I made it one time with Iron Fist. Even using him I still had to try it a bunch of times though. It's the toughest jumping puzzle in any of the Lego Marvel games.

Apologies for bringing this one back from the dead but I've just cracked this with a way I've not seen anyone mention anywhere else so far and figured someone might find it useful.

The plan to stand on the laser frame didn't work for me so I wonder if they've patched that. I was having the same issues with banging your head on the platforms when trying to jump off of the poles. What I found worked was going with Rocket as some have suggested but jumping at a diagonal angle 'away' from me. So jumping up and to the left or right, but doing it while running away from or towards me. It's difficult to explain but I would run along the platforms and then jump up and across while maintaining that horizontal direction.

Hopefully that makes sense but if anyone is still stuck and needs me to explain it another way, let me know.

The "race" is probably rigged. It has to be the laser grid not following too close to your character to allow you a few retries to get to the top. I use Iron Fist and managed to clear it without losing all 4 lives. But that was only after I have unlocked Gwenpool. Do correct me if I was wrong, if you could clear the obstacle course earlier in the game just after unlocking Iron Fist.

And yes, for some reason this was the most intimidating challenge in all Lego games. And it would keep you from unlocking the Manhatten boss, winning the Who's the Boss challenge, unlocking the Shocker Van as well as holding back your 100%.
