"desert" boss jump goals impossible

[Ponlets]

i am supposed to do a backflip over this pyramid thing for the boss jump so i can unlock the shortcut for jungle

but getting this is nearly impossible as one never has enough speed to even clear the pyramid

can the goal just be "survive boss jump"

it doesnt seem to count my back flip if i stop at the top of the pyramid and jump off to do a backflip

Hey Ponlets! Ride up the pyramid, not jumping or anything, then when you get to the top, backflip off the peak of the pyramid :)

i cant do that when there is a ring of fire on top

it would be nice if the ring of fire had no collision so it would not impede my progress

if it has to have collision it would be nice if it had dynamic physics so if i hit it then it would swing around

i have had many boss jumps impeded by the rings of fire from doing the canyan jumps to doing the first level boss jumps

the ring of fire on the pyramid may look cool but it is impossible to get enough speed save for random chance from the level gen

there are rare instances where i can get the level to generate a long enough and steep enough run up to the pyramid to where not only could i clear the pyramid i could make it through the ring of fire

i cannot unlock the shortcut to jungle because the game does not always register that i did a backflip when i do the "stop then go" method

i mean it sees the backflip and i get points for it

but i dont get "objective complete"

Protip: dont jump. just ride up the ramp and the pyramid, you might overshoot the landing though if you have high momentum so be careful.

The "backflip the bossjump" is a bit strange with this one as you can easily trigger the bossjump prompt. The consistent setup is to ride up and dont jump. just lean back into the flip and land. if you land and you didnt get it just reset to checkpoint and try again.

if this doesnt work you can try some advances movement tech to overshoot the pyramid but this is really inconsitent, so i'l explain the second best way to do this.

Gain speed, ride up and about 4/5 the way up the pyramid you bunnyhop into a backflip. you will gain a lower flight angle and land super far into the ramp or even on flat, so counterpump just before landing to increase the landing impact survivability.

Goodluck

the alternative is for them to not put a ring of fire on the top at all so that i can have a better chance of making the goal without dying

have you ever considered NOT spawning the hoop 'o' fire?

You can not spawn it - just don't complete the fire node on your way to the boss!

that's what i meant by "spawning", devman.

i never knew that doing the fire node spawned the ring of fire

but hearing it now it makes sense

will avoid fire node in desert

also why would the boss jump sometimes ignore the back flip i did even if i did it right

I've been trying this and it won't give me the reward. I've tried riding to the top and backflipping off onto the exit ramp. I've tried backflipping onto the pyramid and making the flip ramp to ramp as well.

Ok I finally got it. I had to ride almost to the peak of the pyramid and backflip ONTO the top of the pyramid. the boss jump is awarded whenever you touch the top platform of the pyramid.

thats an absurdly small window of action

but i am greatful for the elaboration

i'm not sure what you guys are doing; i ALWAYS do my tricks off the top and transition into the ramp. you don't have to do it like that, at all.
