1 What is the story in Platform Masters about?
Unfortunately, the bulk of the details on the story of Platform Masters are classified. There are, however, a few things that I can say at this moment. The first is that it involves a championship. The second is that it revolves around Jeremy, the main character. There are other characters present, though they're minor characters like a sales clerk for example. The third is that the order of the worlds is the order of the places covered by the story. The fourth and final is that it takes place on July 18, 2073, essentially 60 years into the future.
2 Advancing the story
To advance the story in Platform Masters, simply complete the 10 regular levels (at any difficulty setting you feel comfortable with, even 0), and defeat the boss afterwards. More story events will unfold as the next world becomes accessible. Clear 10 regular levels in this new world (The jumbo and supersize levels in the previous world are optional but become accessible.) and defeat the boss to advance the story further. This continues until all 18 main story worlds are cleared. Worlds 19 and 20 require special conditions to unlock.
3 After the story is finished
Going for stats like these is only for the die-hards.
Once every required level in every world is completed, there's still plenty to do:
- The optional and treasure-filled jumbo and supersize levels are still available to clear.
- Look for differences in the scenery - things may have changed. How many differences can you find?
- Go on a treasure hunt - there are 400 treasure chests to find.
- Raise the stats as far as you can handle. Want 5000 HP, 500 power, 10 minutes of air, mile-high jumps, a supersonic top speed, 10G acceleration, cast 20 times a second, and a range that extends out several screenwidths? Go for it! Yet, you can still go higher than this.
- Perform stunts. Use the terrain, platforms, and various other game objects to perform crazy stunts. How difficult of a stunt can you perform without making a mistake?
- Watch the game's story again, only, this time, you can watch it unfold without having to complete any levels. Instead of potentially a half hour between each segment, it's but 5 seconds, depending on how fast you are with navigating menus.
- Try replaying levels at a much higher difficulty, such as 7 or 8, instead of the recommended 4 and 5. How hard can you handle and how well do you know the levels?
- Try going for 100% completion in as many levels as you can at difficulty 8. This will take some serious effort and is probably the ultimate challenge.
- Start a new game and see how far you can get without upgrading stats or learning any skills. All levels are made possible to be completed with game-starting stats and skills.
- There are other things you can do. What else can you think of?
There is no "new game+" option or the like.
