Cracked 1.2 million on a couple levels in the first world (Salty Shore and another one whose name isn't coming to me). Finally got my groove back from years ago when I played Olli Olli 2. This is really a great, great game. Love the aesthetic, music, gameplay, and generally everything about it. I imagine this will be in my top five games of the year come December.

The side missions in the last world are pretty great. First one makes you get a 13 combo just from one rail grind without using grabs or spins, basically forcing you to use late tricks a couple of times.
Second one is the Danny Trejo level and was a lot of fun to complete:

sketchside is quite a huge difficulty jump. i'm at bingo lagoon and the top local hero score of 1.6 million is painful haha. i was trying a couple hours yesterday to get it without the second mike high-five but could only get to 1.4. so i guess you have to go the full route in one combo, which is not going to be easy lol. that last lap for the second high-five is really difficult
What are grind switches? I'm supposed to do three of them before highfiving dad, but i don't know what that is
while grinding, change the direction of the left stick and then press cross, to change your grind to the one corresponding to the new position of the stick. good way to build combo multiplier on medium to long rails
This confused me at first, then I backed out to the world map and a new tutorial had popped up haha. I'm guessing the same happened to you.
Does this have the same controls as OlliOlli 2? I really want to like it but the controls just don't click with me
Finished the game today, really fun and a great vibe but never quite goes as far as I would've liked it to. Maybe it's my fault for using the checkpoints, but I'm not really that interested in going back for high scores and things. Enjoyed playing it through though.
Has anyone noticed anything odd about the Mastery section?
In the corner it says 17/25 (25) for me. That's the count of completed masteries, right? But actually looking through the tabs, I'm at 13.
Edit: And I just completed another mastery and the count jumped to 19.

This is where i'm at as well. I mean, whats the harm in letting us map buttons. The game is cool but until a mod or changing buttons is allowed, i'll just add it to the backlog. Aint got time to stress over unintuitive controls.
after probably nearly five hours of trying i finally beat the bingo lagoon local heroes. got 1.86 mill which was enough to land me in the top 100 for the level
they went quite overboard with this difficulty jump haha

I love stuff like this where casual people can beat the game with some decent challenge, but there's entirely optional stuff for people who want a serious challenge.
they went pretty nuts with the harder score challenges in this game. i remember thinking they were difficult towards the end of 2, but they upped the difficulty a notch further here, and earlier in the game too

Yeah and did you need to be in on day 1 to "complete a season"? Can't find this anywhere.
Holy shit some of you are good. I've been doing every challenge and beating every legend before moving on, so I'm about halfway through biome 4, but now it's stepped up to a crazy level for me. I think I'll have to put that strategy on hold and come back. Haha.
i'm almost finished with world 4, but yeah world 4 is a huge difficulty spike for local heroes. especially 2 consecutive levels in the middle of world 4, then it eases up a little bit for the last few
Seems to be the number of promotions in a row. I had hit 7 but got demoted yesterday and it went all the way back to 0. Getting the rewards for the 9th streak is going to be a crapshoot.

Promotions.
I'm in first on gold III with 2 hours left and hopefully I'll hold on because that will complete the full streak.
Also have 100%ed the first 4 biomes except for one pesky high score in biome 4. About to move on to Las Vulgas.
I've already put like 40 hours in between the single-player and leagues. Love love love this game.
Got 1/2 for $2 on the eshop, so I'll have to try those out some day too.
I moved into promotion zone with 4 minutes left yesterday to get to 8. I danced around celebrating haha. I was in the relegation zone too, not just staying in place.
i got my ninth consecutive promotion with the score i set yesterday. also, i managed to finish first twice in a row, which was nice, but not likely to happen again now that i'm in some of the higher tiers
Grabbed this on Switch a bit ago. Wanted something good for pick up and play/short bursts after finishing up the story in Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity. Will be busy with Horizon, GT7 and other things for a while so this will be great to play around those and when out and about.
Loved the little I played so far! Love the new art style and it looks amazing on the OLED Switch screen.

It seems a little simple at first, but the skill ceiling seems crazy high. The courses get crazy too as it goes on. Point is if you liked the very beginning, you'll love where it goes from there.
I played a fair bit of the first 2 Olli Olli games on Vita so I know it's something I'll dig. :D Liking it more than those so far.
Does perfectly landing manuals get harder the further in to the map you get? I'm in the fourth area and one of my challenges is to perfectly land every manual in the combo and I can't even get one let alone 3 in a row. Legitimately didn't have this issue earlier in the game.
I'm still having a great time with this! I'm most way through the third area of levels. I've been trying to at least do the complete without checkpoint challenge before moving on to the next level. I try to do all challenges, but some are pretty frustrating or hard to figure out exactly what to do and I'd rather move on than get annoyed. Can always go back and do more challenges after finishing up all levels—if I make it through them all.
On that front, while it's been a long time since I played the first 2 games, they seem to have balanced this way better with it being easier to progress through levels with a lot of the high skill ceiling stuff needed for challenges to unlock cosmetics. I think I got stuck in the first 2 games and levels I couldn't hit a score needed to progress.
It does get a little crazy to wrap your head around everything once you have spins, grabs, manuals etc. added in, but so far I haven't had to master it all at once to progress.

Is there any way to see which tricks I'm still missing? My guess is it must be one of the special grinds, but they are a bit obtuse to me.
Do I get this right, that I can only ever go into one special grind, depending on how I landed on the rail? So I basically have to switch stances (not sure how to do that easily), rotate a certain amount, land a certain basic grind and only then can I do a specific special grind?
That's hard to keep track off lol
edit: Just did it. You don't have to do the special grinds for this achievement, I was just missing one trick with a weird input (backfoot flip).

I bought the game on a whim a few days ago, after reading some very positive impressions. I like it so far, but I think it lacks some tutorials or a practice area for complete newcomers like myself. I'm not far into the game yet, just did the first wallrun mission. Like, there's sequences I have to repeat a dozen times, mostly because I didn't make a jump, because I probably didn't manage to get enough speed or used the tricks at the wrong time. I beat those levels eventually, but it was always more luck than knowing what I did wrong.
The game would have profited tremendously from a training mode where I can just freely practice tricks and movement.
I'll also agree that for a game that has such an amazing art direction the picture on the Switch's home screen feels like a big miss. Would have loved one of the colorful artworks there.
