I tried for a few minutes to get to the special launch barrel using all the surrounding launch barrels but couldn't seem to find any way to get to it. I ended up starting over and just jumping across as you see in the video. Did anyone else do this?

About a month ago, I made a post stating I finally got V-Rank in Level 7 Emerald Rush for all layers. I found myself satisfied for finally conquering this goal and was ready to hang up the controller for a brief hiatus (outside of coming back for monthly events).

However, after reading through some comments - I received some words of encouragement to try and max out at 9,999,999. So after a week break, I jumped right back into grinding. And I’m happy to report - I finally did it!

I honestly found getting my first V Rank in each layer took me way longer than learning how to hit 9,999,999. My original strategy of using ban-none-za went out the window once learning how strong the Snake Bananaza/ Staring Down tactic was.

I am so happy to finally mark this complete in my Emerald Rush check list. I have definitely spent way more playing time in this DLC than the actual game (which is no slight at all because I absolutely loved the main game). I wrote a lot of my initial thoughts in my first post, so to make sure I don’t sound too redundant, I won’t ramble on again on how much I enjoyed the DLC and game as a whole.

Now that I completed this - I think I’m done in emerald rush lol or at least taking an ACTUAL break. I’ll look forward to coming back for the monthly events, but for now, I rest….

Got to the food layer and accidentally found out this game has a photomode! Now I love it even more 🍌🍌🍌

This monkey is so happy about having mined out this giant banana. Is the game really forcing me to steal it?

Thanks to all the helpful tips I found here, I broke 3 million in the Snake Bananza event!!

The way Rattly is placed, it looks like there’s room for three or four more animal buddies.

Can be done a lot faster, this was a blind run

Strategy: Stack Hyper Hopper, Low-Down Beat, Slo-Mo Beat, Jumpin' Beat. Demolishers are fine. Farm any enemy you like, make sure you kill them with a charge jump while you're on top of them. Staring Down is on the rare fossil in the sand near Grumpy on SL1203 (there may be other spots). You want to do the first few goals for chips so you can buy at least 2 Better Glare, 1 Bananergy, Better Charge Jump and Jump Burst (you can also get them from bananas). Once you have enough Better Glare and Staring Down, keep Glare active at all times to slow the round timer.

This is the biggest fossil Ive found so far and it wont let me break it

Even with the Bananza Forms

is there something im specifically suppose to do for big fossils?

Really easy when you're abusing Staring Down. I don't think I really optimized it all that well either, I could see shaving it down to Round 5 very easily.

Besides Staring Down, farming Illuminoids and Trapantuloids was the main strategy starting around Round 5 when I got enough of a multiplier. There are so many Illuminoids on sublayer 1203 you can easily farm most of them without much effort.

Since I managed to get the highest score in Round 4 of this event, I’ll jot down the key points here.

• Increase Hyper Hopper, Lowdown Beat, and Slo-Mo Beat (as evenly as possible)
• Illuminoid Demolisher too. (An invincible enemy in bright places)
• There's a “Staring Down” on the 1202 floor, so be sure to pick it up early on.
• Get the Slow Motion upgrade early on, and use the Snake ability to apply Slow Motion constantly
• To always be a snake, wear clothes with snake-like extensions and an emerald tie to boost your adrenaline.

Round 4 isn't that difficult, but I'm not sure if Round 3 is doable. I'm not sure if “Lowdown Beat” is effective against the snake's diving punch.

Here's a video.

Am I cooked or is there a way to get apple juice, punching the rocks don't give anything.
