Aug 21	Final
CHASE AND DEFEAT OXIDE AVOID HIS ATTACKS	CHASE AND DEFEAT N.OXIDE

• The rules only call Nitros Oxide by his last name and have an extra line saying to avoid his attacks.
• The first level is Ballistix based. The player faces N. Oxide in a very basic and dull scenery. You defeat N. Oxide by only hitting his hovercraft with balls. He will fire missiles at you from his hovercraft, then start a big spam of iron balls. Three hits are enough to kill him.

• Swinging your mallet and attacking other players are two different buttons - you press Circle to swing your mallet and X to attack players. Pressing X to attack will use the character's attack from Crate Crush levels.
  • The attack move is broken for Dingodile and Rilla Roo. Trying to attack as them will cause them to start spinning around in their idle animation perpetually until they are attacked. Although they can move, they cannot swing their mallet while they are spinning.
• There are no invincibility periods between being attacked.
• If you charge your swing long enough, the game does not hold you in place and you are free to walk around while it plays the charging animation.

• It is impossible to lose unless you do not have any mushrooms. When time runs out, if you have at least one mushroom, then the game will zoom into the player with the most mushrooms, declare "you win," and then give you the crystal as it plays the person who won's victory voice clip.
• The crystal challenge will restart perpetually as if it is a trophy challenge until you quit the level.

Keg Kaboom

This minigame works vastly different and was completely reworked in the final game. You are supposed to drop powder kegs in the arena by pressing Circle and use it to harm the other players by making them touch the flames from the kegs' explosions. The players also drop gunpowder trails, which creates chasing flames in the arena. This makes the minigame end in a matter of seconds, specially since there are no invincibility frames after hit.

• There is only one type of powder keg, and there aren't any items or fire creatures roaming around the map.
• There are no invincibility periods between being attacked.
• The characters lack their stunt animations, but they seem to play the first few frames of the animation before reverting to their idle pose.
