Hello everyone! This is my first post here. I recently just bought another copy of Tricky because I lost my other one a few years ago. Now onto my problem, I can't get gold in AIJ showoff! All I can manage is silver. Anyone know of a good strategy to get gold? BTW I ride as Mac.

Check out the Master Runs off the index page for the best items. Here's the Aloha vid by MrChaos:

Here is the walkthrough from the Knowledge Base:

Quote:
Aloha Ice Jam
~~~~~~MASTER RUN~~~~~~
AUTHOR: happymachines
PLAYER: happymachines
Score: 1,000,150
Character: Mac

1) Slow down as much as you can, and hop on the right rail. Do a
misty with trick, and land on the rail again. If you can, hit the
2x star just before you land. Then, do another misty with trick off
the rail, through the other 2x multiplier. Immediately after you land,
hit select, line yourself up with the rails again, and jump back on
them from the ground. Do some more jumping around on the rails until
they end. A good goal for this area is 40-50k.

2) In the cave, take the right path. I usually hit select here to
slow myself down and make it easier to line up with the pipe. Grind
onto the pipe, do a misty with trick, land back on the pipe, misty
with trick through the 3x star, and on the striped pipe, then finally
do a double misty with trick off of it. By this point you should have
90k-100k.

3) Back on the ground, take the left path. Boost, jump, and do a double
misty uber through the yellow star. If you can, land on the striped
pipe and jump off, doing another double misty and uber (I am rarely
this lucky). Otherwise, just grind across the gap.

4) Boost down the hill, angling into the left side of the slope and
jump into the air and do an uber. You can try to do some spins and
flips here, but that never works for me.

5) You should be in the deep snow now, and you can try jumping off
the ledge back onto main course, mistying and ubering in the process.
I don't do this though, as it makes it hard to set yourself up for
the first yellow ramp here. Do a double misty uber off the first
yellow ramp. If you land on the stripey pipe, wonderful. If you don't,
then you suck, and you're a horrible person. The only way to redeem
yourself is to get on it when it hits the ground to the right of the
glass tube. As soon as you get on the pipe, boost and jump off the
end of it, doing lots of spins and twists along with your sig uber
through the 5x star. This can be a very tricky jump, a lot of the
time you will just jump over the star. You might also have to do a
very tricky landing against the side of the tube if you don't jump
far enough. By this point you should have in the area of 300k.

6) Proceed down the path till you hit the two rails. Take the left
rail. crouch, keep your balance on the rail, and right before you
get to end of it jump, and do a double misty and your shortest uber
through the 5x star. Now you should be around 400k.

7) You have just crossed over, and now you're on the right path,
but you should immediately switch back over to the left side.
Continue down the path till you get to the gap, and do a double
misty uber through the 2x star.

8) There are two approaches you can take for the 3x star coming up.
You can stay on the ground, and do lots of flips and spins along
with your longest non-sig uber through the star. Or you can go up
on the rails, and try to hit the 3x star while doing your sig uber,
but not going so far as to smack into the far wall. Regardless,
after this jump you want to have around 500k.

9) After you land, angle yourself back towards the left side of
the course. Aim to miss the elevated glass thing on the left, and
do your shortest uber over the gap.

10) This is the fun part. And by "fun", I mean "not fun". You need
to keep jumping off the sides of the ice waves, doing the best ubers
you can with the limited space you have to work with. Also hit as
many of the 3x stars as you can. While you will get better at this area
with practice, it is still largely an exercise in luck. The two best
pieces of advice I have is to have full tricky coming into this area,
and if when you land you're not lined up correctly for another jump,
do NOT hesitate to hit select. The select button is your best friend
in this area.

11) Once you finish with the ice waves, start to ride the cables
across the gap, then do a misty with trick. Bypass the wonderful
shortcut to the far left. On the main path, take the left fork. Don't
get on the pipe; instead jump off the hill in front of you, doing a
double misty with your best non-sig uber through the 2x star.

12) Continue through the cave till you get to the area with the two
cables to the right and left. Get on the cable to the left, do a misty
with trick, land on the cable, then do a double misty with trick
through the 2x star ahead of you.

13) Take the left cave. If you do it just right, you can do a quick
uber off one of the hills, although good luck getting enough air while
not jumping so high as to hit your head on the ceiling. When the paths
merge again, get on the striped pipe, misty with trick, land, then do
another misty and trick through the 2x star. Boost down the tunnel,
then jump at the end, doing oodles of spins and flips and your sig
uber through the final star. If you have any time left, jump around
for a little bit. If done correctly, you should be able to score at
least 700k consistently, and if done perfectly with a good run
through the ice waves, a million is possible on this course.


These are pretty advanced movies though, so just practice if you can't do it all. But regardless, they are so good you can just takes bits and pieces to get gold pretty easily.
