For a while, I was still in bitter "screw Ubisoft" mode, but I ended up downloading it and WOW! I've fell in love with the game all over again.

I still wish we had the full game, and think the Wii U would be in a far better place if we did, but this Challenge App is the next best thing. It's also nice that they don't limit the number of times you can run the demo.

Rayman Legends is now back on my Day 1 buy list.

 

[nubbe]

The game is more polished compared to the demo and the challenges are fun

Would definitely be worth €1

 

[J.W.Crazy]

I was doing yesterdays challenge when it changed over and it stopped me in the middle of my run. It was on track to be my best one yet! I somehow managed to be the first person to complete todays so being #1 (even if it was only for a second) makes up for it. So far this is great. Does anybody know how long they plan on running new challenges?

 

[superpickleman]

I'm in the top 10 for today's challenge... probably not for long. :-|


EDIT: yup, already knocked off. I managed to document my achievement in Miiverse at least. 00:21:58

 

[Hybrid897]

Man, how are some people getting sub 21 I struggle to get 22 D:

 

[Foshy]

What's today's challenge? Still Murphy or some platforming?

 

[Svafnir]

It's a speed run level like the ones from rayman origins.

 

[Foshy]

Great, will try it later

I admit that my hype for this game had died down completely some month ago (not due to the multiplat/delay, don't care about that) and I didn't even particularly care about the last demo, but these challenges are really fun and I'll make sure to get it day 1.

 

[Gambit]

Man, how are some people getting sub 21 I struggle to get 22 D:

Just tried it after updating the console. I got a laughable 25 something time. (And still wasn't too bad on the country list. Ah, being early payed off. )

Anyway, how do I even get down to 22. Admittedly I didn't play Rayman Origins and the jumping still feels very floaty to me.

Attacking makes you run faster, if you jump right when the attack ends you will keep the momentum going even longer. Especially if you are doing it on a slope.

Ah, very interesting. Thank you. The short segment made it difficult to find out such intricacies.

 

[Hybrid897]

I mainly learn how to decrease my time by copying the player ghosts ahead of me.

Managed to get 21"61 for today's daily. Don't think its going to get any better for me haha.

 

[GimMick]

Pretty good run. I will try to get under 20 seconds later today, though that might not be enough for top 10 at the end of the day.
Love the depth in the mechanics of the game. There are multiple ways to clear the challenge fast !

By the way, did anyone here get to play one of the locked challenges ? If my math is right, getting a Diamond Cup on yesterday's challenge should be enough to unlock it.

 

[Kouriozan]

Yeah it's really hard, as long as I get my gold trophy I'm fine ^^

Me, I have Awesomeness level 2. The challenge is a infinite runner up climbing.

 

[Svafnir]

Whattt you can get diamonds? DID NOT KNOW THIS.

 

[Kouriozan]

Whattt you can get diamonds? DID NOT KNOW THIS.

Only top 10 get diamond/platinum trophy.
You'll see a few "Awesomeness level 4" in less than a week already.

 

[kizmah]

Added some of you. My NINID: kizmah

 

[plagiarize]

my NNID is exactly what you would expect it to be.

I had a few quick goes before breakfast. need to get my time down a lot! I've only just broken the 25 second barrier.

 

[Stormwatch]

I just added a bunch of people as well. I'm DredPirateStorm. This is a really fun app!

 

[tolkir]

Extreme challenge statistics. Yeah.

 

[llehuty]

Extreme challenge statistics. Yeah.

Awesome run.

Hmmm, 46 daily extreme challengers... Platinum awarded for top 50 players then?

 

[Delicious Waffles]

Downloaded it yesterday and tried it this morning.

It's pretty cool. Tried the first daily challenge (supposedly ending in 20+ hours) and could only get through it in just over 26 seconds. It says I'm on my way to a bronze trophy. I've only used Rayman but I'm guessing using different characters have their own speed advantages?

Also, if anyone wants to add me, my NNID is ZiM1021.

 

[optimiss]

I started the download before bed and immediately shut off the system. So cool to have it installed when I woke up. So far my best time is 24.12. I'm ranked 931. Woo!

 

[zroid]

So the new daily is up? I have to say, after yesterday, I am definitely looking forward to more timed challenges, and fewer endurance challenges. Yesterday's daily was fun but excruciatingly tedious after you reach a certain level of proficiency.

 

[Kouriozan]

Today's daily is to reach 250m as fast as you can in the Land of the Livid Dead.

 

[Foshy]

I think today's daily challenge is MUCH worse in that regard. There's not much room to improve once you hit low 20s.

 

[G.O.O.]

Gosh, so you can do less than 20 seconds just with the attack/jump trick ? It's driving me insane D:

Anyone who wants to add me : ISZK_land

 

[Kouriozan]

Gosh, so you can do less than 20 seconds just with the attack/jump trick ? It's driving me insane D:

I agree, it's like snaking in Mario Kart >.<
You have to spin attack -> jump as much as you can.

 

[zroid]

I'll post the daily and weekly challenges in the OP for now. At least, until people start to get bored with this thing.

 

[GimMick]

19"88. Reached my goal, but I failed a better run earlier at the last jump, still trying.

The fastest time (19"06) uses the first spring in the level to gain even more speed than with downslope boosting. No clue how to do that but 18 secs will certainly happen

 

[Beelzebub]

so happy today is Friday, gonna do my wii u update then play this shit when I get home

 

[zroid]

WEEKLY -- ends ~4am EDT on April 29

Murfy's Dungeon: How fast can you collect 150 lums?


DAILY -- ends ~4am EDT on April 27

Land of the Livid Dead: How fast can you run 250m?

I will *try* to keep this up-to-date

 

[Burnburn]

Sorry guys

I think it's time for a break now... Been playing for 3 hours already.

 

[tolkir]

Sorry guys

Holy shit. I quit.

Spoiler

Now, I will try surpass that record

 

[Frolow]

How are people getting sub 20 on this? I'm using the attack/jump trick and the best I can do is a 21.95

 

[Morts]

I can't get sub 45" on the Lum challenge. I'm clearly missing something.

I also got over 1100m on yesterday's daily challenge, but received no awesomeness. What gives?

 

[Gonzo The Great]

Practice makes perfect, and some people have an unlimited amount of free time on their hands.

I can't get sub 45" on the Lum challenge. I'm clearly missing something.

Tap the Lums to turn them purple.

 

[zroid]

Such a shame NSMBU's challenge mode lacked leaderboards. This here just demonstrates what a huge missed opportunity it was. If the challenge mode in the full release of Rayman Legends is anywhere near as impressive as NSMBU's with leaderboards? It would be sublime.

It could always be patched in with the Luigi stuff.

 

[Kouriozan]

I don't think I'll be able to do better than that for now.

 

[TheChits]

My lord this game is so amazing

 

[Frolow]

Just got Diamond, still want to get sub 20 though. I pretty much know the optimal route now, but I'm still confused as to how some people are keeping their momentum through the column section.

 

[KingSnake]

I finally got under 39 seconds in the weekly challenge. And e mediocre under 22 seconds in the daily one.

 

[Stoof]

Finally managed to get sub 23 seconds! Dunno if I'll be able to get much lower, but at least it says I'm in the gold range.

 

[NotLiquid]

Jesus H. Christ, I don't think anyone has the right to complain about the Murphy levels being a drag after the fucking challenge level. This shit is insane.

My Nintendo ID on there is Geistbox.

 

[Gummb]

Wow it's addicting! @_@

 

[Lee Chaolan]

This is a good consolation prize. Also great there's no play limit.

 

[Kouriozan]

Jesus H. Christ, I don't think anyone has the right to complain about the Murphy levels being a drag after the fucking challenge level. This shit is insane.

I agree, I like Murphy levels better now

 

[Dartastic]

Any tips on the daily challenge?
