Day 1

  • RC Helicopter (2)
  • Auxiliary Rockets (1)

Notes:
Remember to use the Auxiliary Rockets after the RC Helicopter has ran out of fuel, otherwise you'll go into the redzone of speed and won't go as high.

You should earn around $350
Day 2

  • Glider (3)
  • Tilt Cannon (1)
  • RC Helicopter (3)
  • RC Helicopter (3)
  • Auxiliary Rockets (2)

Notes:
Don't worry if you are a few upgrades behing me, if you ever get behind a few upgrades, take away some of the boosts. Also, try and avoid going into the redzone of the speedometer or you'll lose speed.

You should earn around $2000
Day 3

  • Glider (7)
  • Tilt Cannon (5)
  • RC Helicopter (Max)
  • RC Helicopter (Max)
  • RC Helicopter (Max)
  • Propellers (2)
  • Propellers (2)

Notes:
Don't worry too much about the boosts. What's important is that the body and launcher are upgraded. Remember to never go into the redzone on your speedometer or you will lose speed.

You should earn around $5000
Day 4

  • Glider (Max)
  • Explosives (2)
  • Rocket (6)
  • Rocket (6)
  • Rocket (6)
  • Propellers (Max+1)
  • Propellers (Max)
  • Propellers (Max)

Notes:
Overlevelling is optional, for now, but make sure you have overlevelling set to +30 at least. Make sure you have the explosives. You're going to want to use your propellers inbetween stages and after all the stages have ran out of fuel as to not go too far into the redzone and waste your speed. You should near 200k on this day.

You should earn around $12500
Day 5

  • Glider (Max)
  • Explosives (Max)
  • Rocket (Max)
  • Rocket (Max)
  • Rocket (Max)
  • Propellers (Max+1)
  • Propellers (Max+1)
  • Propellers (Max)

Notes:
Upgrade the Explosives as high as they can go first, then upgrade the Glider, then the Rockets. And yes, you can use the exact same setup on 200k and get the Speedrunner 1 achievement too.

You should earn around $25000
Day 6

  • El Fuego! (5)
  • Steamshot (7)
  • Sonic Burst (7)
  • Sonic Burst (7)
  • Sonic Burst (7)
  • Pingu Balloon (Max+4) / Repeller (1-4)
  • Repeller (5)
  • Repeller (5)

Notes:
Here's a big change in setup, we're entering mid-game with this setup. Since we're going higher than 200k, the repellers are going to be useful. Also, if you don't have the Pingu Balloon, you can replace it with another Repeller instead. Try and keep upright the best you can. Remember to try and always get red on the Steamshot

You shoud earn around $40000
Day 7

  • El Fuego! (Max+1)
  • Steamshot (8)
  • Sonic Burst (9)
  • Sonic Burst (9)
  • Sonic Burst (9)
  • Pingu Balloon (Max+9) / Repeller (3-6)
  • Repeller (6)
  • Repeller (6)

Notes:
If you have quite a lot less money than I do, it's important to keep the Body, Launcher and Stages all similar worth (Check their worth by holding Ctrl and hovering the mouse over the item) and spend any left-over money on the Boosts.

You should earn around $75000
Day 8

  • El Fuego! (Max+3)
  • Steamshot (Max)
  • Sonic Burst (Max)
  • Sonic Burst (Max)
  • Sonic Burst (Max)
  • Pingu Balloon (Max+9) / Repeller (3-6)
  • Repeller (7)
  • Repeller (6)

Notes:
If you are seriously behind me in cash, you really should use an earninator this round to catch up. This setup will get you past 1M distance if you hit nothing that makes you flip.

You should earn around $125000 (without Earninator)
Day 9

  • El Fuego! (Max+8)
  • Steamshot (Max+2)
  • Sonic Burst (Max+5)
  • Sonic Burst (Max+4)
  • Sonic Burst (Max+4)
  • Pingu Balloon (Max+12) / Repeller (4-7)
  • Repeller (8)
  • Repeller (8)
  • Repeller (8)

Notes:
If you are quite behind in money you should use an earninator this day to catch up. It's time to start thinking a bit more about the Repellers as we have a very high chance of hitting lots of things which will mess up our path going up.

You should earn around $180000 (without Earninator)
Day 10

  • El Fuego! (Max+13)
  • Steamshot (Max+6)
  • Sonic Burst (Max+10)
  • Sonic Burst (Max+10)
  • Sonic Burst (Max+10)
  • Pingu Balloon (Max+11) / Repeller (5-8)
  • Repeller (10)
  • Repeller (10)
  • Repeller (10)

Notes:
If you are slightly behind in cash, use an Earninator for good measure. Make sure you're keeping upright and getting red on the steamshot most of the time. I know it doesn't look too good distance-wise but it will get better really fast. Starting to upgrade the Repellers more.

You should earn around $250000 (without Earninator)
Day 11

  • El Fuego! (Max+17)
  • Steamshot (Max+10)
  • Sonic Burst (Max+16)
  • Sonic Burst (Max+16)
  • Sonic Burst (Max+16)
  • Pingu Balloon (Max+16) / Repeller (7-10)
  • Repeller (Max+3)
  • Repeller (Max+3)
  • Repeller (Max+3)
  • Earninator

Notes:
We need the Earninator now, wherever you are in cash. The Repellers start being focused on a bit more to avoid being knocked away. Make sure you get red on the Steamshot. With a bit of luck, you should get to 2M (distance), if you haven't got to 2M yet, don't worry.

You should earn around $550000 (with Earninator)
Day 12

  • El Fuego! (Max+25)
  • Steamshot (Max+18)
  • Sonic Burst (Max+24)
  • Sonic Burst (Max+24)
  • Sonic Burst (Max+24)
  • Pingu Balloon (Max+15) / Repeller (5-8)
  • Repeller (Max+6)
  • Repeller (Max+6)
  • Repeller (Max+5)
  • Earninator

Notes:
We need the Earninator again, wherever you are in cash. Make sure you get accurate hits on the Steamshot. It is important the Repellers are upgraded because when you only have 3 lifts, and even if 1 of those is not going straight up, you'll lose lots of altitude into distance. Hopefully, you'll get a few hundred k off 3M in distance.

You should earn around $950000 (with Earninator)
Day 13

  • El Fuego! (Max+30)
  • Steamshot (Max+30)
  • Sonic Burst (Max+30)
  • Sonic Burst (Max+30)
  • Sonic Burst (Max+30)
  • Pingu Balloon (Max+18) / Repeller (7-10)
  • Repeller (Max+30)
  • Repeller (Max+30)
  • Repeller (Max+20)
  • Speedifier

Notes:
Here we go. Equip the Speedifier for this. I hope you have enough money with you to get these upgrades. If you don't, spend your remaining money on the Repellers, then the Sonic Bursts, then the Steamshot, then El Fuego and if you have anything left, The Pingu Balloon. If you want to be extra cautious, Max+30 the Repellers. The only way I see you failing is through being knocked out by random debris or not getting red on the steamshot 3 times in a row. Good luck!

Win Win
That's all for this guide, I hope you got there

You'll receive 10 cards upon winning which will include a lot of Bonus Points and also the achievement which will also give you quite a lot of Bonus Points. Enjoy!

Also, if you don't mind, please could you up-rate this guide if it helped you out or share with your friends, it really boosts my ego. Thanks!

I don't know why but I'm unable to get the cash goals for any day with the sonic burst, is my game bugged or something? I have the shop maxed out (regular max not gold max).

Very useful, I was able to do classic in 8 days!

Advice for anyone whose struggling to keep up during the rockets upgrades bit: a DIY rocket is better than the normal one on average and is cheaper. The DIY can be worse, but its statistically unlikely.
Cksalzy Oct 25, 2024 @ 7:53pm 
i did everytthing you said but i keep getting knocked off by obstacles
Goober Oct 16, 2024 @ 2:15pm 
did this, used the setups that met my cash amount and did it in FOUR days!!
Tehrock Oct 5, 2024 @ 9:15am 
How did you get $2000 day 2? I only got $1000, didn't go into red speed with boosts or hit any objects. I suspect the BP cost of the upgrades you used is WAY higher than 2500. You could always turn off upgrades to find the minimum amount needed for this.

I got lucky on day 12, I hit something before the final sonic burst and screwed up my trajectory but still had enough money by day 13
