I'm at 20.06" right now, can't for the life of me figure out how to jump the chain
Yeah, that part is bullshit. I tried slowing down and slightly turning back towards the hill before the jump, but it doesn't make me much faster.
Aha!

Played the 3 demo levels and daily challenge (Murphy's) w/ the gf for a while last night. Good stuff all around. I'd recommend this app to anybody and look forward to more challenges as they're released.
You need to ground-pound it
...oh shit I need to try this.

Cool. Murphy's Dungeon is better than the regular platforming levels. Makes my preorder choice easy.
Man, it's really hard to stay in the top 10 now. Hanging on 7th place with 18"56, but there's still over 10 hours remaining, and I don't think I can improve by more than one tenth at this point. Oh well, I'll be happy if I get at least the diamond cup at the end of day.
Going to do a semi-detailed post about general tips for the challenges once I stop playing.

General info/tip/trick compendium
How to get Awesomeness ?
- Winning trophies in the demo levels or challenges give you points
- To access the daily extreme challenge, you have to be at least Level 2 ; to access the weekly extreme challenge, Level 4
- Fully completing the 3 demo levels will yield you 96 pts, meaning that if you want to gain more levels and play the extreme challenges, you have to partake to the "normal" challenges and win trophies there
How are determined the trophy ranks ?
- Your trophy rank will be determined according to your rank on the leaderboards, and the total number of ranked players.
- It means that if enough people pass you, you may be retrograded to the lower trophy rank.
- It is not clearly determined how well ranked you have to be to pretend to a certain trophy, but let's say if you are in the top 1% of the best players in the world for a challenge, you will likely get a Diamond trophy
Standard gameplay tips
- To boost your speed, attack while running, then press jump during the attack. You will go even faster if you boost downhill, but avoid the upslopes as much as possible
- If you find a spring oriented diagonally, you can get an even better max speed by ground-pounding on it (Down + Y/X)
- To conserve your current speed, jump (or boost+jump) on the same frame you are touching the ground. You can repeat this indefinitely !
- If you have to clear large gaps and a normal jump doesn't cut it, attacking mid air to gain distance is faster than fluttering. Attacking mid-air will still kill your a bit of your momentum though, so only use it when necessary
- On a line of lums, grabbing a pink lum, will change the color of the nearby lum to pink, and so on. By grabbing the lum lines in a certain way, you can double your score
- All the characters have the same characteristics
Murphy gameplay tips
- Touching a lum will change its color to pink, and double its value !
- Touching enemies, spiders, and hanging skeletons also give extra lums
- The behaviour of the auto-runner changes slightly depending on how you handles obstacles. It is possible to make it stop by holding a platform or obstacle with Murphy
- The Murphy challenges are playable in co-op, with one player being the runner while the other is playing Murphy. Playing this way gives an advantage in the challenges over the lone players
You can put this in the OP if you want !

Wonderful, thanks so much!
Ah, so that's what I saw some people doing... I'm gonna have to try this, because I don't think I like spin jumping very much. It just doesn't feel right to me.
Getting better at the weekly challenge. I'll have gold if I don't get bumped down too far. #1 on my friends list of all gaffers.
Feel free to add me. User name is my nnid
Edit: I'm pretty sure the diamond trophy is only for the top 10 finishers.
Edit edit... Diamond cup is not only top 10

OMG This improved my time a lot! Thank you very much.
very nice advice, I think this post deserves a link in the OP, to say the least
Sitting at gold in both challenges before heading to bed, which is perhaps as far as I'll be able to take it: I don't have the time to let myself get sucked into shaving off milliseconds at a time on the daily, although I might take a few more cracks at the weekly.
All in all, though, a really rewarding "App" that might well keep me coming back to the system daily, which is more than, well, anything else has managed.

I'm at the top of my Friend's List so far for both challenges. That should change.

I hope Nintendo caught this on tape for their marketing campaign.

Made it almost to 20 seconds. Got a gold medal in the daily challenges. Spent 4 hours on this thing tonight. This is the best game on the Wii U, seriously. This is amazing, I will be all over this.

It's not possible to play challenges that have already passed, is it?
No, just the ones that are currently running. Gotta play this every day!

Played a fair wee bit of this last night; I hope more games use a similar daily/weekly challenge method to inspire a bit of community and purpose to those high score battles.
The game itself is pretty fun too. Feels a bit loose coming from the excellent challenges in NSMBU though. But then NSMBU doesn't have leaderboards.

and this app makes it abundantly clear how much such leaderboards (and ghosts) are missing.
Would be excellent.
Anyway, not sure I can take part in today's challenge. I feel so empty. Hold me, Rayman-Gaf
It seemed like you could play old ones, they are still there in the menu... anyway I am horrible at todays challenge.

Ah, wait a second. The challenges just ticked over, and I can see yesterday's challenge now. Thought I'd missed the first challenge, since it was scrolling results for something besides the "How fast can you run 250m?" challenge at the bottom of my screen.
22:18 but not diamond
there is a limit to the number of spots, don't know how many
Diamond is top 100 I think.22:18 but not diamond
