There are plenty of ways to maximize your points on 200m Peanut Dash, plus a number of little tricks to help you with these steps.
First of all, you need to maximize the throwing distance. The game tells you you must alternately press the left and right arrow to get the bar filled, but to be honest, there’s a much easier way to get maximum throwing distance. If you use your index and ring finger both at the same time on the left and right arrow keys, the power bar will increase much quicker. You need to try and maintain it near the top then use your middle finger, or a finger from the other hand, to press the up button. I usually manage to get about 190m and occasionally 200m if I time it right.
So once you’ve got your 190m throw, you need to work on the jump. Yet again, most people see the log and immediately use the keys to make a jump. But for those of you who have tried, you’ll realize that often you can’t press all the buttons quick enough! But there’s a simple way round this! You don’t ACTUALLY have to press all the buttons as soon as you see the log. The best way to play is to press the first number of keys, and wait. When the log comes up simply press the up button and you’ll do a fantastic jump!
I recommend doing a 2x back flip. To do this you need to first catch up with the shadow. Once your caught up, press right, left, right, left. Keep your finger poised over the up button, and when the log appears press it! You’ll do an amazing flip!
Remember, after you’ve done your first flip IMMEDIATELY press the code in again and get poised on the up key for the next log. This should rack you up another 70 of points if you get them all.
Another thing you need to do is when you see the peanut coming down, DO ANOTHER JUMP. You’ll get a “supercatch” bonus for getting it in the air which will be + 50 points if you do the 2x back flip.
If you do this all correctly, you should manage to get anything from 820-900 points! – Frankie
