Junimo Kart

Junimo Kart is the arcade machine in the Stardrop Saloon. It stays locked until you have the Skull Key. You play a Junimo in a cart. Jump with the left mouse button, the space bar, or X. Hold the button for a higher jump. P pauses. In 1.6, running off a rail still leaves a short grace jump.

Progress Mode starts with 3 extra lives. Lives refill to at least 3 after a stage. One hundred coins add a life. Each stage has a cherry, an orange, and grapes, worth 10 coins each, and collecting all three adds another life. Clearing the six stages ends the run. The next day the mail brings a Junimo Kart Arcade System.

Endless Mode gives you one life. Distance scores 10 points a tile, a coin scores 40, a fruit scores 1,000, and a cleared stage scores 5,000, with another 5,000 if you took all three fruits. The track runs Crumble Cavern, Slippery Slopes, The Gem Sea Giant, Ghastly Galleon, Slomp's Stomp, Glowshroom Grotto, Red Hot Rollercoaster, and Sunset Speedway, then repeats. The secret ??? stage is not in that cycle.

Mr. Qi's special order Let's Play A Game asks for 50,000 Endless points within 7 days. The reward is 20 Qi Gems. In 1.6.3 that reward went from 10 Qi Gems to 20. Version 1.6 also saves an Endless score if the game kicks you out, stops the gas mushrooms from appearing in pairs, and slows the bubbles on the whale stage.
