[Solved] SAB Trib Mode W2Z2: jump pads

Please help me, I am about to bash my head into the wall! :angry:

Those jump pads by the end don't work properly. I manage to proceed on the first one, but upon landing on the second one, it just doesn't catapult me upwards by itself. I have to stand on it, then press Jump for it to trigger, but that does not get me far enough to reach the next pillar.

Is there a trick to it? What am I missing here?? (I've already died about 200 times trying. :/ And yes, I am taking the correct road as seen in all YT videos, so the path is not the issue here.)

Edit: Screenshot

That's normal. You need to jump from the very edge of some of those pillars. U'll be dying a lot because 50% of the time those jump pads won't work. Even bouncy mushrooms work that way, sometimes they don't launch you up when you first land on them.

The pillars are not the issue. I can't get that particular jump pad (seen in the screenshot above) to launch me to the next pillar. As mentioned, it only launches me when I initiate the jump, but it never gets me all the distance across to my target, no matter where I stand when I initiate the jump (even at the front edge of the pad) or how long I hold down W.

Help? :'(

Edit: I got it! The trick is to stand at the back end of the jump pad, then do a small jump forward to initiate it, THEN you get the momentum required to get across. =) (is doing the happy dance)

Even bouncy mushrooms work that way, sometimes they don't launch you up when you first land on them.

That's a different story, I already posted a complaint in the Discussions sections of the forum. ;)

I wasted something between 60 and 70 lives on that jump, on Saturday. Likely I decided to look for some tip and I found someone on reddit...And yes, the trick was to start pressing forward BEFORE hitting the platform on the way down.
