Has anybody beaten this guy?! I must've played this level over 10 times and still no luck.

Also, how do you unlock the other characters? Beat story mode? I've completed the Cup portion of the game with 1st place in each cup and still no other characters unlocked.

Choppy sometimes, but it shouldn't be very laggy.. try restarting your phone and playing again.

I'm sure they'll take care of the choppiness in the future updates. And if we're lucky, even more tracks :)

Yea I meant choppy, not laggy. But the choppiness gets really annoying and kinda ruins the game for me.

I completed mission 8 the day before yesterday with the standard character (I've now started collecting the CRASH letters)... I found it VERY frustrating, but I got there in the end, by the skin of my teeth.

I think you just have to get most of the boosts, and avoid bad things like the lasers on the track. Oh, and skidding around corners helps.

Do you even get to choose a character to use in story mode? I've not unlocked any other chars yet so wouldn't know but I've never been given an option to pick a character in Story mode.

Annoyed me that there is no way of telling I have completed story mode from the menus (that I can tell).. Surly they realise we want to show off?!

I beat it earlier, thank god haha I was getting frustrated cause the SOB was fast as hell. I noticed you can't choose characters in story mode, but I have been collecting C-R-A-S-H letters and so far I've gotten every character except the 2nd to last one. I can't seem to find the S on that level.

beat story 8

He is fast but you can set a good lead by getting over the first two lasers. Definitely take the short cut over right after the 1st/2nd? jump, to the right. Use as many of the boosters as possible.

Also, if you get a missile on the last lap save it until right before the finish. you can hit him and then catch the last boost to the line. Good Luck.

It's not as smooth as SMB, but the controls are better and I find myself playing it more often than SMB. I also like it better than Cro-Mag Rally.

I much prefer CBNR to SMB.. I dunno, I just find SMB really hard to control.. I'm yet to complete the first world on easy! I get to the level after the jump and always run out of time, and am too frustrated to bother with the continues and go for a nice relaxing drive instead ;-)

SMB sucks!!!

SMB is way overrated for $10. You will be bored (possibly frustrated) of it in a few hours. Go for dizzy bee. It's $3 and actually pretty addicting. I probably play this more than all the others. CBNK is great though if you don't have it already.
