Any tips for the last Atlantica gummi mission?

[Monkey]

I have so much trouble with it, to get points I need to destroy objects. Destroying objects means items will show up and thus it becomes insane to try and dodge.

That and, if I chose not to destroy certain objects that are right in your path of trajectory as it will force you to grab its item, it means you must hit that item. If you have to it it, your health goes down. When you purposely make your ship little to avoid items, it means you barely have any health to begin with, so even if I somehow manage to avoid all items, I die.

This isn't even taking into account that there's a 50/50 chance that Monstro will show up to screw it all up.

Thanks.

I haven't even done mission 1, so I'm not quite sure as to how to successfully go through mission 3. But let me just share my two cents.

From how you described the situation, it seems that using a tiny ship is indeed essential. You'd also like to move very slowly to avoid scooping up prizes by accident. My suggestion is that you use Full-Life-G, Fire-G, 4 Ultima-Gs, 6 Meteor-Gs, and a Shield2-G.

The shield gummi allows you to take at least 5 hits before dying, and even if you do die, you'd be revived to full health thanks to the cockpit's special ability. The laser gummis would help you destroy things from a conveniently long range once you've locked on to them, allowing you more time and leeway to manoeuvre away from the prizes. Finally, the thruster gummi is the slowest out there, and you can slow down the ship even more by using the brakes.

Of course, that's assuming Shield / Shield2 gummi and braking are allowed.

EDIT: With this method you'd have to fire very wisely since you won't be able to replenish your Power. You might want to substitute some of the lasers with Thunder or Thundaga gummis.

Ya, I still haven't beaten this. It's the last gummi mission I have left. :/

I did this mission, and it was the hardest by far.

You want a small ship yes. But you also want health.
Equip 6 thunders and 2 meteors, these weapons are most preferred.
Shield and transform is absolute, once you hit 260, transform into a large healthy ship with max speed and haste2 (hopefully before your full-life cockpit gummi loses all of its health.
One fire gummi. You need to go SLOW. Haste2 gummi is a good idea as well for certain portions of it.
Here is a great video that helped me immensely on this. (Starts at 6:30)

I tried this non stop for 8 hours, no luck. It would be a good idea to stop and take a break. Attempted it next thing in the morning and got it within a couple tries.

Doesn't see to be helping me much.

Edit: and I finally did it. Didnt even have to transform. The shield was enough and I set off from Agrabah which was a more familiar route to me.

 

[Monkey]

Yes, I finally completed it as well. And I didn't have to transform either!!! Did a thing where I ran through it and made sure Monstro appeared, since he never appears twice in a row. didn't want to leave it to chance in case I was doing well and then he showed up.

If anyone needs help on this, please post, as it really did take me a few days.

While I managed to clear Traverse Town mission 3, reading this thread really discourages me from completing all the missions. I think this particular mission could very well be that one, single, lone reason why it will be so hard for me to platinum KHFM. Looks like you need much effort and patience to go through this mission successfully. T_T

Once I did it once it became obvious it is not difficult at all. It's important to keep your ship really tiny in terms of size. (It can be long but not big in width or height.) Yes this will come to the detriment of health/defense, but this mission will require you to do the track over and over again, so you will memorize how to avoid taking damage.

Ended up with two weapons, two thunder-g's and two ultima's. Got to 260 about 2/3'rds of the way through and then didn't even need to transform. It was just a matter of not shooting anything and dodging until the end.

Make sure you have shield-2 and a transform gummi just in case as well. And use the (life?) gummi cockpit that auto boosts your health when you are about to die.

I had a sneaky sneak technique (haha rhymes). I put 2 thunders facing backwards on my ship so when the ships flew over me I would shoot down and hit them behind me. You break them behind you, youre a lot less likely to collect items.

Woah, that's a really intelligent way of doing it. Wish I thought of that. :O

I know it's an old thread, but I figured it was better to post here than make a whole new one.

So I have been struggling with this mission for hours. I know the time that I am finally gonna make it, Monstro is going to ruin it all for me. I'm gonna call it quits for the day and go to bed.

After I read this, I decided to give it a shot. I have had the most success so far with this strategy. Also, when you do it this way, you have more leeway as far as ship size, so you can give yourself a little more health to work with. On the downside, it becomes a lot harder to kill enemies, and even harder than that to target some obstacles for extra points. I've made it to Atlantica from Deep Jungle with a max of 183 points, which is quite a bit off of the mark. I'm really going to have to retrain myself here.

I may try this strategy next. It's more straightforward and closer to what I was trying before, but it is so much faster to get points this way. It's just an issue of dodging the items with a method like this.

If anybody has any new strategies or suggestions, I'd love to hear them.

I used a really similar way to this. I tried the back-facing guns method, but I kept missing the ships and my score would be to low by the end of the course.

What really got me through was using R1 to aim (if you aren't already using it :x). With the ships that drive straight towards you, I would lure them to one side, then destroy them as I moved to the opposite side.

For example, in the starting area I would sit at the top of the screen, hold R1 to keep the reticle at the top, wait for them to come at me, then fire as I moved to the bottom of the screen. Their items end up at the top/middle of the screen while you sit at the bottom, ready for the next lot. Doing that worked well for me. But you have to be really careful in the third area with the huge amount of ships, just after the portal. Restrain yourself and only kill ships if you know you won't hit their gems.
Also, I changed brake from X to L1 in the Gummi Menu > Config area. That made the ride easier on my hands.

I think I'm going to try and combine these strategies. I'm going to place a couple of guns and ultimas on the front of my ship and use the general strategy to get through this, but I will also put a couple of guns on the back I my ship so I can maybe grab some stragglers that make their way past me if I could get them.

 

[Chaser]

I think I went on the Agrabah to Atlantica route, and I went really slowly and I was able to complete the mission within like 3-5 tries.

 

[Max]

Man, I wish I would have made sure my Monstro was between Agrabah and Halloweentown, just because of this one mission.

I did it! My gummi missions are now complete, and I will NEVER HAVE TO PLAY THEM AGAIN!!!!!!

All I really have left for the plat is to run through normal and easy while grabbing speedrun and whatnot, I'm done with synthesis and all the extra bosses and all that jazz, so wooo!~

You're done with Gummi missions - well, at least until 2.5 comes out

My main focus right now is getting 100% apart from the Gummi missions - whilst I'd like the plat, the idea of having to complete all the Gummi missions scares me, especially on FM difficulty. Actually, is it possible to do the Gummi missions in a separate playthrough? Because I know I can unlock Deep Dive without them (the main reason I've gone for 100% in FM rather than beginner), so I was thinking I'd do the 15 hour run in beginner, then once I've beat Ansem I'll reload and beat the Gummi missions - that should be fine to get the plat yes?

I believe you can work on Gummi Mission on different a playthrough. I completed the missions on Beginner it was still a hassle to some points but it was alright once you find the patience for it and the experience after every error will teach you. Once I was done in Beginner mode, Chip & Dale will tell you that you should try the missions on Proud mode.
