Webkinz Rally Glitch Fixed, WI Member Wins Trophy

Spoiler: show

We are pleased to report that the programmers at Ganz have corrected the glitch in the Webkinz Rally game. Players completing the final level of the game are no longer kicked out of Webkinz World. Thank you to Webkinz Insider member chapman12 for sharing these pictures from her account with us. Here you can see "FLY-SWATTER" posing with his brand new trophy. (The helmet is a Deluxe membership prize.)

chapman12 has completed the game several times this morning and has confirmed that only one trophy can be won per account. We have also confirmed that this new trophy cannot be traded or sent via KinzPost. So, just like with Bamboo Break and Treasures of the Crystal Sea, unless you really enjoy the game, once you have received one trophy, there is no reason to continue playing.

If you're looking for tips and tricks on how to beat the game, please visit the Webkinz Rally section of our forum: Webkinz Rally

And in History.... from the April 1st Introduction of the game....

JBONE92 reports that there are 10 areas you must go through in order to cross the final finish line. With a high score of 14,835, he was able to make it through all levels with a pet who had 2 stars for jumping, 2 stars for top speed and 9 stars for handling.

MNBert adds that those categories correspond to the following classes in the Academy:
Car choices = Fashion
Jumping = Strength
Top Speed = Speed
Handling = Agility

Video is available

There's a Video Walkthrough on You Tube using Toby.

General Instructions

Spoiler: show

From the game itself. Here are the provided instructions.







Controls:

These are very simple

Up - Must Hold down this in order to move. If you let go your car will lose speed.
Left - Move Car Left
Right - Move Car Right
Down - Brakes / Slow Down
Space Bar - Jumps the car Note! There is a known bug that occasionally occurs where you cannot jump. If this is the case use another webkinz.

Obstacles

Grass - Patches of grass line the course, running over them will slow you down. You can jump these.
Dirt - Patches of dirt similar to the grass, with slightly less slow down.
Signs - These block you path and completely stop you, try to avoid these at all costs. These cannot be jumped over.

Tools / Powerups

Springs - Purple dots will occasionally be found lying on the floor. Run over these to leap high into the air! Clearing many obstacles below.

"Wheels of Speed" - Temporary gives you a speed boost. Wears off quickly usually only lasting 1 - 2 seconds.

Statistics / What to focus on? / KinzAcademy - Time to start hitting the track! Or... maybe.... books?

Spoiler: show

Going to school in Webkinz World has just added another bonus! The higher you are ranked in various different classes will affect your car's performance and even unlock extra car options!

Thanks go out to MNBert for finding out exactly how each class affects your stats and car selections!

Car choices = Fashion

Jumping = Strength

Top Speed = Speed

Handling = Agility

Here's what all the car selections look like, they handle better as you go further up and help make the game a bit easier. Thanks to JulieBear01 for providing the picture and mentioning my forgetfulness to add this feature in!



Here's a view of my stats.



Here's my take on stats and what you should focus on:

Just figured I'd give it a shot with Toby to see how the default options handled. I made it all the way to level 9 and died a part way in.... was a REAAALLY good run. I would say that I bumped into far less then when running with my Driver ( when I beat the game ). Now I noticed that between my 4 stars in Jumping the Toby's 3 Stars that I could still clear 3 of the grass hills just fine so it looks like jumping doesn't need much emphasis.... maybe I should check out my 2 stars ( across the board ) driver to see if that is the case...

What really seems to make the difference is the Top Speed. I'm sure that with the higher Top Speed having more Handling would be beneficial BUT I ** HARDLY ** noticed much difference between Toby's 3 star handling and my 6 Star Handling.

So, in my opinion get your jump up to about 3, top speed as high as you can and handling maybe to 4 or 5 should be able to beat it ( if you're reaaaally good at games ) once you hit about 5, 6, or 7 Speed.

Tip: Remember to jump! Don't try to weave around a whole lot, with exception to level 3 those little grass piles are all over the place and when you jump you will usually find yourself landing back in it and then running into another. Level 3 seems to work best but weaving around them and jumping rarely when you don't think you can weave around them in time. It takes focus, concentration and MASSIVE amounts of hand-eye coordination. Good Luck and let's all hope for that trophy!

Ok with my 2 stars ( across the board ) driver I was STILL able to clear 3 grass piles at full speed, now at a slower speed I could only clear 2 of them, so that's possibly where the difference comes from. I didn't try to run to see how far I could get, and it wouldn't really matter since Toby and Sonny are 100% better then her....

So for Jumping i'd say 3 - 4 should be good enough to get you through!

Driver's Stats

Toby: WW down currently, will be updated at a later date

Your Racer: Depends on your skill levels in the KinzAcademy

Sonny: WW down currently, will be updated at a later date

Tips

Spoiler: show

- You keep rolling once Timer hits 0, so keep on going if you see the flag!

NOTE: See how my time is at 0? Well this is a key to completing the game. Once time hits 0, your game does not end. Your car rolls for a little more distance. That is how I beat it both times.

Here is a picture of the checkered flag. I counted 9 flags, so that means there are 10 different areas you must pas through to get through the end.



By the way, my high score for this game is 14,835

- The Silver Coins and Gold Coins seem to be just for points. As the trophy is unobtainable at this point this cannot be denied or confirmed.

Is it just me or does the car seem to move extremely fast. Faster than usual, and basically too fast?



I don't mind the questions

And All the coins do I believe is give you extra points, which ultimately lead to more kc. However, there is a slight possibility they have something to do with the trophy.

- Keep on jumping ( hold it ) when your timer runs out, it seems to get you further! Thanks for the tip Acourt!

My son has used it to get past the checkpoint several times when he's almost there, but time runs out.

Try it and let us know if it works for you.

If someone else already posted this, I apologize for the repeat. I scanned the other threads , and didn't see it.

- If you are using Sonny you can jump over the grass patches in Level 2. Thanks to Webkinzgurl23 for the tip!

- This may be a glitch right now as well. I would not doubt it but it seems that some people are not able to tell a difference between using a webkin with 1 stars for everything and their pets who have excellent stats. JBONE has been able to beat the game with 15 seconds left with his Pheonix "Flames" who knows nothing of that place called the "KinzAcademy"....

I just completed the game with most time I have ever had left, and it was with none other than my Phoenix, Flames, who has had ABOLUTELY NO training in the KA. He has never attended a single class. This goes to show you that the stats at the bottom do not mean a thing. I noticed no different at all between this pet and the one I usually use who is almost full in all catergories.

So if you are wasting time and kc at the KA for this game to increase your skills, it is unnessecary.

I played with my fish who has no Academy training... and could not finish the game. In fact, he ran out of gas before level three, ending with around 2500 points. Then, I tried driving with the computer-given Hippo, named Tobey. Tobey did have a couple more stars than my poor Fish. Still, I could not complete the game and finished around 3500 points.

Personally, I can definitely tell the difference in speed and handling when I drive with my poodle who has six and seven stars across the board.

I'm sure if anyone can beat the game with a regular player with zero academy training, then it just means they are waaaayy better at the game then I am. I need the extra speed! I need the handling for when I'm dodging the stop signs! I also need the extra jumping ability!

I encourage everyone to do their own experiment, though. It's fun!

The Trophy

The trophy has now been programmed into the game and can be won upon completion. You will only gain 1 trophy the first time and upon beating the game again you will receive no trophy.

Note: The trophy CANNOT be Kinzposted or sold!

Here's the screens you will see when beating the game. Also, here is the image of Chapman12 ( the first WI to win the trophy ) with his brand new "slick" trophy

Known Bugs / Issues

Spoiler: show

Mastering classes seem to disable some Webkinz from moving forward at all.

I would hold the up arrow on the keyboard, but the vehicle just would not move. I could move the vehicle left or right, but not forward.
I was able to try the game with my cow Lucy, who has passed level 10 of intelligence and creativity, but was not able to choose any vehicle but the first car. Lucy was 10 stars for jumping, 1 star for speed, and 1 star for agility. I was not able to make it to the second check point with her though.

I am going to log out and back in to WW and see if I can then get this game to work with my bullfrog.

After the Maintenance which allowed winning the trophy Chapman12 was STILL reporting issues with his graduates not being able to move.

Level Walkthrough

Level 1

Spoiler: show

OK here's the first thing you will encounter. Everything in this level can just be jumped over ( Space Bar ). You will encounter squares of grass, a line of three grass in a row and a horizontal line with one open space.

Like I said, you can easily jump over them with no problem.

Level 2

Spoiler: show

You will need to make sure you are hitting all of the springs ( purple circles on the ground ). You will encounter Plus Signs, Triangles and the horizontal lines ( the ones with one space open ). Just hit the springs, and I try to stay towards the center and make small adjustments and jump over the spaces with just one grass area. Got to make sure you hit the springs.

Springs



Plus Sign

Level 3

Spoiler: show

This is probably the hardest level in Webkinz Rally. The best way to topple this level is to weave around the grass patches as much as possible to avoid dragging through them. If you see yourself running into some grass and you cannot weave around then jump over it and continue weaving through.

Either that or if you stick to the very far edges you can avoid a lot of the grass. Do remember though if you do this you will be hitting some spots with 2 - 3 patches of grass lined up in a row. This level will take LOTS of practice, but don't stress out too much it will get a little bit easier from here.

Level 4

Spoiler: show

"The Gully"

You will be shooting down "The Gully" on this level. Lines on continuous non-breaking grass patches line both the left and right hand sides. Make sure to get the "Wheels of Speed" ( as I like to cal them ), this will give your car a temporary boost of speed. There will also be lines of dirt, but these can be jumped over since you should be moving fast enough. But these are really easy to dodge. Ocassionally, you will have horizontal lines of dirt you will need to jump over.

Then, towards the end of this level you will see signs pop up and just make sure to weave around them as they cannot be jumped.

Level 5

Spoiler: show

This level you will encounter a lot of signs randomly thrown about. You will need to weave around them. There are also horizontal lines of dirt. You don't have to worry about jumping these as running over they will slighty slow you down, making it easier to weave around the signs.

[wildhunt]

Level 6

Spoiler: show

Dodge the signs here, a patch of grass will line the sides and occasionally create a diagonal line and line the opposite side. Just hit the grass or try to jump it, remember the grass doesn't slow you down as much as hitting a sign.



Diagonal Line

Level 7

Spoiler: show

"Vrrrm Vrrrm"

You will immediately be greeted by 3 signs on the right side. You will see 2 sets of Right Left Right Left Signs. Then it reduces down to 2 on each side, but you will be picking up Speed Boosts and hit a jump. After that you will be in another gully and have to avoid signs and dirt patches.

Level 8

Spoiler: show

On this level you will be greeted by a barrage of signs and lots of dirt. This one is similiar to level 5 except there is more dirt then level 5. They will be "T" shaped or in big blocks. When these come up stick to the edges as they tend to only have 1 patch of dirt. You CAN jump over the big patches of dirt as long as you are still at the normal speed.

You will need to take this one just like level 5 just weave around the signs and jump the dirt patches. Once again practice makes perfect on this one. Just keep trying.

Level 9

Spoiler: show

Lots of dirt all around. You should stay on the clear paths as much as you possibly can, dodging the signs at almost any cost. When you have to make the switch from the inside to outside, drive diagonal so you don't drag as much and slow down. I would NOT recommend jumping as you will more then likely hit a sign. Use the dirt as slow downs for the tricky parts navigating around the signs.

Level 10

Spoiler: show

Patches of grass and lots of signs. Eight patches of grass on one side then immediately the same on the other side. Just try to drive through the middle of jump it if you can. It opens up occasionally and you'll encounter lots of signs. Just dodge, dodge dodge. I found keeping to the sides help a lot. You should be going really fast through this level so at times you can even clear those 8 patches in 1 jump ( or land just short and drag through 1 - 2 of them ). After that you will see the good 'ol Checkered Flag.

Congratulations!!







Note: At this time you error out and do not receive a trophy or a completion screen. Hopefully this will be resolved ASAP.

Thanks are in order to the other people who have been helping me out on this and assisting collecting the info and figured out all the intricacies of this game.

Awesome guide Wildhunt. Thanks for taking the time to provide this one stop guide to valuable information.

Great thread wildhunt,

I got the same error message as JBONE92 at the finish line.


The odd thing was, in my Scores and Achievements page, the score differs by one point (checked after I got logged off):

Hmm odd, nice catch.... i'm guessing a rounding error? That's really odd there would be a difference..... did you lose a game closer to the end? Those coins give extra points, maybe you score 1 point higher.... that's a lot of plays to get there, first win right? Grats on completing it and way to be persistent!

This was at the time the highest score and also crossed the finish line then got logged off.

Well then you got me, I think WW felt you just deserved a extra super special point

Thanks so much for the great guide! Congrats to everyone who has finished! I'm working on finishing the game!
