Learn how to beat Il Piantissimo's Crazy Climb in Super Mario Sunshine! Get tips on using Slip-Slide to beat the clock and reach the flag on the palm tree.
Alright, Episode 2 in Pianta Village is all about racing that speedy guy, Il Piantissimo, again! This time, the goal is to reach the flag at the very top of the big palm tree in under 30 seconds. It sounds tough, but we've got a trick up our sleeve.
Walkthrough
- 1The race starts on the path leading up to the village. This is your prime opportunity to get ahead. As you run, use the Slip-Slide move – that's when you use your spray nozzle and slide at the same time. It gives you a fantastic speed boost! Just remember, this trick works best on flat ground or downhill; don't try it on steep hills or while climbing the palm tree, as it won't defy gravity there.
- 2Once you've gotten a good lead using Slip-Slide on the path, you'll need to make your way up the giant palm tree. The objective is to reach the flag on the platform at the top. Keep a steady pace, and if you managed to build up enough of a lead, you should be able to make it within the 30-second time limit.
Tips
- Master the Slip-Slide move on the initial path. It's the key to shaving off precious seconds and giving yourself a buffer for the climb.
- Don't waste time trying to Slip-Slide up the palm tree itself; it's ineffective and will slow you down. Focus on a consistent climb.
- Keep an eye on the timer, but don't let it stress you out too much. If you got a good start, you'll have plenty of time.
