How to unlock the Hopping Mad achievement in Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee HD - Definitive Guide
Missable!
It is likely that this cannot be earned in a Bad Quarma playthrough as the final level where the wheelchair features, Labor Egg Storage, will not be available. As instructed in the above Roadmap, aim for this trophy in your Good Quarma run.
Munch isn’t very quick on land, so the wheelchair is available in some levels to help him move faster and jump over obstacles. As the game was originally designed for you to use Munch’s wheelchair (the game actively encourages you to do so), attempting this trophy may be frustrating at times. Make sure you save your game often. All you have to do is press near the wheelchair and Munch will sit in it. Stay far away from the wheelchair in case your finger slips!
These are the levels that feature Munch’s wheelchair that will require different strategies:
Paramite Run
Have Abe drink from the Expresso machine, jump over the fence and lure the Paramites away who will give chase. At the first fork in the path, turn left and weave in and out of the landmines. You could hypothetically kill most of the Paramites as they run into the landmines (which respawn), but this could take quite some time. Continuing in this direction, jump over the fence, turn right and then turn left at the next fork (not through the stone doorway). Follow this route and you will see the exit, which you will need to jump over one more fence to get to.
This is the route that you will need to take with Munch, who you will have to pick up and carry with you. Head back to Munch (killing more Paramites with the landmines), but also head down the other paths where you can lure more Paramites into more landmines. Drink from the first Expresso machine, throw Munch over the fence and then quickly jump over and pick him up. It won’t take long for the Paramites to make a meal out of Munch, so hopefully you’ve reduced their numbers and are quick to pick him up. Follow the same route as before, stopping only when you have to throw Munch over the second fence and the final fence at the exit. If Munch dies, you will have to run back to the beginning to revive him.
Meep Herder Village
Munch in his wheelchair has no problem herding the Meeps into their pen, but we will be using Abe to do this. The Meeps aren’t too afraid of Abe, so you will have to pick each of them up with and throw them towards the pen. They can be moved when slapped (press ), but they travel a greater distance when thrown. This can be time consuming, but easy.
Brewery to Be
You will need to lure the Scrabs into the pens and close the gate behind them to keep them trapped. Abe cannot outrun the Scrabs, but you can stay ahead of them by repeatedly jumping. This normally would have been a task for Munch in his wheelchair.
Labor Egg Storage
There will be a large room with several Interns armed with guns. The wheelchair is positioned above this room near a Zap vending machine and a Health machine. Head down the ramp to the first three Interns and try and lure them away one at a time. Let them follow you back up the ramp where you can kill them by zapping them and fill up at the Health machine. You can always use Abe to lure them up if Munch isn’t escaping quickly enough.
Once you have killed the first three Interns, head back down the ramp and into the next area. There will be a raised platform on the left where there is another Zap machine and a remote control for a crane. Use Abe to throw Munch on the platform and have Munch use the crane to kill the Interns. One of the Interns can shoot Munch as he uses the crane, so wait for him to face away before exposing yourself. Repeat this for the next platform to access the next crane and kill the remaining Interns.
The wheelchair also appears in Mudokon Pens, Mudokon Fortress, Fuel Fields, Dead River, No Muds Land and Reservoir Row. It is only here for convenience (speed).
This trophy will unlock after the ending cutscene.
