Discover essential tips for Ultimate Spider-Man's race challenges, including strategies for Spider-Man and Venom, and how to earn medals and upgrades.
- Keep moving and avoid helicopter fire.
- Make small jumps instead of running and turn corners.
- Civilians reward you with more life than cops or soldiers.
- Keep to tight alleyways to avoid helicopter fire.
- Once helicopters and S.H.I.E.L.D. hover troops join the fight, avoid rooftops.
- The more powerful Grab Attacks only weaken S.H.I.E.L.D. troops.
- Fight where there is an awning; this makes choppers come in closer.
- If you toss an enemy using the Grab and Throw, watch them die in mid-air.
Race Challenges Overview:
Race challenges test your ability to move around the city and help you improve your travel skills. There are 4 levels of difficulty and several medal rankings to earn. Unlike Spider-Man 2, your ranking doesn't affect your rewards; you can earn all bronze and still get rewards. There are a total of sixty races to play and get medals.
Finishing races against Johnny Storm earns you speed upgrades, higher race difficulties, and costumes. Earning race medals is all about practice. Follow the arrow and try to work out the fastest way to hit the points; once you hit one point, it activates the next.
Best Tip: Always try to keep moving forward and reduce your up and down movement to a minimum.
Venom also has his own races after beating the story mode, allowing free switching between Venom and Spidey. Venom's races have unique purple race points with a colored glowing aura matching Spidey's Race Points. As of yet, there is no known reward for getting a medal in all Venom races.
Venom Race Tip: When climbing the side of a building, press and hold the super jump button (R2) to leap up the side quickly. Press the circle button at the peak of your jump to avoid falling.
