"We need to build up a massive storm, and the best way is to rush through these storm gates!"
― Nimbus [src]
After three Zones of destroying buildings, Zephyr must build up a massive storm in a Vortex Race to later reach the Totems safely.
The Basics[]
Follow Nimbus through the gates. The race gets progressively faster the longer you go without missing a gate.
Gates that are orange contain Fire Flyers. They will explode and slow you down if you don't shield when you go through them.
Medals[]
Vortex Races are scored based on the overall accuracy. Missing a gate will add a penalty to the player's score by reducing the amount of unlockable content.
Gold[]
A Gold medal requires the following:
- A score of 1,800,000 or higher.
- Chain Collection of 20 or more Fire Flyers at once.
- Miss zero Storm Gates.
Silver[]
A Decent Score. You won't earn as many unlockables as you would with a Gold medal.
- Have a minimum score of 1,500,000
- Only miss around one to three gates.
Bronze[]
Much like the silver, you won't earn as many unlockables as you would with a Gold Medal.
- A score of 600,000
- Only miss four to eight gates. Destroyed gates caused by failing to capture Fire Flyers within them also counts.
Nothing[]
if you fail, you will get little to no unlockables at all. Attempting to fail on purpose will eventually force the player to restart the vortex race.
Requirement(s):
- A score of 500,000 or lower.
- Miss ten to twenty gates.
Co-Op[]
In multiplayer, Player 1 steers the tornado while Player 2 controls the shield.
Both players must work together in perfect unison to complete the race. Failing to complete the race results in the opposite player controlling the tornado while the other player controls the shield.
