I was just curious, which path do people take on level zero? The options here are to blow up the bucket and fall down the well into that pool of light, which will warp you right to level 10; or as you're falling down the well you can hug the left-hand wall and enter level 1 a different way and pick up 3,500 points in before falling into level 2. I was never able to grab all the crystals, but really you only miss out on like 5,000 points which ultimately is nothing. Has anyone found a way to get the rest of them, or unlock a powerup that lets you do that?

Anyway, has anyone decided on the best route? I mean, does destroying the bucket in the well actually change the gameplay in any way (other than the warping part)? I usually just grab the crystals, because then you're still going through levels 1-9 with the chance of getting rare items in those levels. Does the bucket increase rarity of items later on? I doubt it but it might. Reply away.

I always take the crystal route. Once you get the constellation book and finish the quests, you can bomb kick twice from the beginning. This allows you to get all the crystals that fall.

On the other note of an increased rarity due to warping, I couldn't say for sure. It feels like rarer items appear if you do something different though. I usually get more rare items if I don't have that high of a score for how far I am at the moment. It may just be a coincidence, but it seem reoccurring. If its true, then skipping the first 10 levels would help you get rarer items because you'll have a much lower score than normal for being that far.

Again, this isn't fact, I've just noticed it a couple times.

Here's for you guys. I'm surprised the 2 of you didn't ever find about that

As for the path, I also always choose the crystals. Never really noticed how going further without much points could help you out (but then again, I never really had that opportunity )

Best route I've found is to jump up into the top left corner and get a secret coin, then get all the crystals by standing on the hidden block. Gets you 11k before you reach level 2

Ah yes, the is also a good idea. Wow! I didn't know about that hidden platform! Thanks Axilias I'm going to give it a shot now. Also, I found that if you take the hidden left route, but then kick a bomb out of the hidden path and still break the bucket, you'll warp. It's like they cancel each other out. And I can't wait for a Constellation Book...

where is the hidden platform on lvl 1?

Well, I must say that this is a very interesting topic
I have played more than 200 games (on the French server too) and I noticed too that when you take the shortcut you "seems" to have a better chance to find rarer items.
I simply thought that it was just a personal feeling!
Has anyone proved that theory

I noticed on the french server if you take a shortcut there is a new door there, which I don't know how to open even though I have all the keys.

I think the door is probably just the door you come out of to use the warp, since it's not there if you don't use the warp, even on the french server.

Yes, there is a door also on the english server and it is used by Igor when he skips the first levels
