Down the Tubes is one of the all-time great casual filters and still makes people cry because they hate learning.

>>4469275
The level I posted is just cheap though.
Up to that point the game plays wonderfully I even managed to stock up on maximum lives.
That suddenly you have to jump consecutively on 3 platforms that sink and in between all of them is a lava geyser while you see only 10 pixels in front of you.
Amazing bravo.

>>4469283
>Then suddenly*

>>4469283
Okay. Never played it.

>>4469283
You need to wait more on the sinking platform before jumping; also, isn't that an alternative route?

>>4469270
hated this level, always skipped it

Typical stuff made then by companies to make home games longer, particularly western ones like in this case (they focused a lot on the art so probably the game was shorter than intended).

It's not that difficult, but it's the kind of challenge that, when you do badly, makes you do even worse until you're just bouncing around unable to get your shit together. Atmospheric music and visuals make it even more oppressive and nerve-racking too

Once you have all refill stations located it's not that big a deal though.

The cave before that section splits on two parts UP and DOWN
If you go UP there is a bolder that will smash you because there is no room to jump and if you try to trigger it and run back the bolder even follows you uphill and runs you over.

If you go DOWN you get the section I posted with the 3 platforms.
The solution for me is to quickly press left and right to
scroll the screen forward and trigger the geyser,wait for his animation to finish with just enough
time to jump onto the next platform.

I just fond the level skip code so I dont have to replay the first 5 levels for the tenth time.

>>4469309
Honestly its a damn shame,the game is great as is there was no need for this kind of bs.

>>4469318
All it is, is learning how the momentum works and not over-boosting. It's not even that hard, people just hate when a game expects them to learn something new.

>>4469270
Last boss gets defeated with apples, while your character has a sword. So disappointed.

>>4469414
Thanks for spoiling the ending.

>>4469414
Well, you can defeat him with the sword as well iirc; the apple blitzkrieg approach is just less dangerous

>>4469275
Down the Tubes isn't even hard. Tube Race's where it gets ridiculous, especially on the SNES port with narrower horizontal visibility.

>Honestly its a damn shame,the game is great as is there was no need for this kind of bs.

This bs still happens though instead of making cheaply hard parts they just put filler parts in the games.

ABBA ABBA :^)

Level design is good, but hitbox detection is even better

>>4469389
But it was a horrible chore and tainted an otherwise good game. Well it was good up til then. I never got past it so I wouldn't know how good the rest of the levels are.

>Why doesn’t this game roll over and let me win like modern games

Here's the funny thing: the laval level in Aladdin can be skipped, it's not necessary to beat it to win the game.
Or maybe it was the carpet lava level.
Either way, the game is "difficult" for the wrong reasons, not because it's actually challenging. Most of the game revolves around finding your way out of a maze and shooting apples.

>>4470258
And then that level hits and its like "hope you like bottomless pits even though they've not been in the game yet"

>>4470258
>Or maybe it was the carpet lava level.
It's the carpet level, yeah, if you die too much the game skips to the next level.

>>4469270
So you are telling us that you suck dick?
There was no need to make a thread about it

It is interesting to watch the Devs Play video for The Lion King where Louis Castle describes a game design technique where they throw in an unusually hard section in order to keep kids from beating the game on a single rental. Been a little while since I watched it, so I don't recall all the specifics (I think it was a concept pushed by Disney?), but that would certainly explain the difficulty of the cave escape section in Aladdin and even Down The Tubes in EWJ since I'd assume that Perry brought that lesson with him from his work on Aladdin. From what i recall of my playthroughs of Aladdin, the lava levels were markedly harder than anything else in the game, at least when measured in terms of lives lost.

=up to this point the game was great because it was easy as fuck and let me win despite being a mongrel shitter, then a challenge appeared.. bad game!

the only shame is how unintelligent and retarded you are that you can't beat a game aimed at children, nothing is remotely hard in aladdin you useless soft cock.

lmfao what a joke, /vr/ is a nest of spastics.

Everything ok at home anon?

>>4470513
Good to know there is a reason behind the difficulty spike.
Can you find the video I kinda want to watch it now.

>>4470248
