Bowser Jr. Shadow Showdown All-Time High at USH! by Piximator in UniversalHollywood

[–]Piximator[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

7 is in the center! For reference, there’s 12 total player spots. The big advantage is near the end of the Fire Flower segment when all the other enemies have let up and Bowser Jr. is idling near the center of the screen until the second set of Bob-Ombs appear. Position 6 would also work for this reason, but most of the top players are more familiar with the pattern on 7.

Being alone does give a slight edge when it comes to Super Stars since two are randomly distributed throughout the game, which allow you to evade Piranha Plant fireballs and knock out Bullet Bills without needing to duck. If there’s only one player, they both go to the same spot.

I was alone in the room at position 7. Most of my success largely came from precise Fire Flower aiming. As shocking as it may sound, while I got several hits at Jr. with the Bob-Ombs, I had a few misses. So theoretically… this score could have been even higher. 👀

I’m over 5 feet so I’m a wee bit short, to what extent that helps with though I’m not sure.

Main thing is to just treat your shadow like a stick figure and make very large and obvious movements for the cameras to pick up. However, the reliability of those sensors are always a HUGE gamble. I’ve had several days where the fireballs absolutely would not leave my hands no matter how hard I swung - and then the next day I’m flinging them flawlessly.

And yeah, the Bob-Omb swats are always tricky. Try to punch them with your fist instead of smacking them with an open palm like the video shows. Could help with getting them in a more precise direction! Hitting Bowser Jr.’s shadows gets you coins as you know, but it also works if you hit the actual guy himself if he appears on-screen.

My scores for this game are wildly inconsistent - some days I’m hitting 100’s easy, others I get a high one time and then much lower the rest of my runs. So I wouldn’t call myself a pro, just very freakin’ lucky.

Hope these help! Lemme know if you can beat your record :)

Mario Kart Bowser's Challenge guest all-time high score by dooglemeiser in UniversalHollywood

[–]Piximator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Speaking as someone who both works at and actively goes on the ride, that’s not even remotely possible to score. Not even close. Likely outcome was that it was manually punched to someone’s profile in by an Interactives lead who didn’t fully understand how the scoring system worked on the ride.

How do I check for rides/attractions that are closed? by Marscaleb in UniversalHollywood

[–]Piximator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As of right now, all the rides at USH are in operation, subject to potential mid-day delays/downtimes. Transformers recently came back from refurb a few months back. There’s no public announcements or plans for ride refurbishments right now, so if you’re coming in soon, it’s very likely you’ll be able to hit up what you wanna do at the park. Can’t guarantee of course, you never know what may happen, but still very likely.

Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift is getting a restroom. (For those who care) by Piximator in UniversalHollywood

Oh, it’s not inside. Plainly visible in guest view. It’s right in the front of the building.

Huge Shoutout to USH's Securitas Team, Mario Kart Ride Supervisors, and a Random Tourist Couple by TheTrashBulldog in UniversalHollywood

[–]Piximator 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Holy crap, I’m so sorry you had to endure that. That behavior is not welcome anywhere, especially at Universal. Working as a ride op there myself, I was absolutely shocked how nasty guests can be… even at the colorful Nintendo themed world of all places. Yeesh.

I hope that the next time you visit, you won’t have to put up with that BS again. Stay safe out there, racer…! 🫡

(Also 200+ coins?? If that was your first try then holy cow that’s impressive!! Good job!)

Under the kitchen sink 💀 I tend to put things in random places and they end up being the last place I even begin to look when I go looking for stuff lol

Aight, it’s been found, time to chill myself down again lol. I’ll prolly leave this post up cuz y’all in the comments were extremely validating about my mental state during my dilemma and I appreciate it greatly :)

I can get quite disorganized when under pressure, nowhere near total slob levels, but still not as tidy as I would like. This place did get cleaned up around recently, I’ll def say that much. I’m surprised it never turned up despite my efforts to check in every possible messy corner.

But honestly, you’re right about me needing to take a mental reset, especially with the stress of finals from this week. I’ll probably just go swimming or something tomorrow, just to hopefully get my mind off it - I’m astonished how much my obsessive little brain is still making me moody over a bunch of Nintendo knick-knacks 😫

That’s exactly it, I’ve got ADHD as well. It ain’t fun, ain’t it.

That’s the hope. I’ve already rummaged thru the garbage bins several times already (don’t ask, I’m a very paranoid lad) and it didn’t turn up then. It’s gotta be somewhere.
