How to Get S-Rank in ‘Beware of Spinning Spikes!’ On Hard Mode
To achieve an S-rank in “Beware of Spinning Spikes!” on Hard Mode, you must complete the course in under 50 seconds.
Firstly, start the challenge and move straight toward the spikes at the corridor’s end. Jump over them and enter the room ahead.
Inside the room, you will find rings and time boosts. You can ignore the two time boosts on the right as they are not necessary for an S-rank.
Use The Water Jet
Grab the ring on the left if you want, then use the water jet to reach the next floor while dodging the spikes.
On the next floor, you must go straight to a platform with a blue center.
This platform will lift you upward. To grab a time boost, double-jump on the left, then move to the center and quickly advance to the next part of the course.
You will then enter a green-lit room where you can obtain a time boost.
For the time boost head right, then go straight, avoiding the spikes until you reach a platform with five spike balls.
There is a crucial time boost on the left, near a circle ensure you do not skip it, as it is essential for an S-rank.
Finally, to complete the course and secure an S-rank, head towards the goal before it’s fully visible through the spikes.
