🤩How do I Participate?
So you want to give Trial and Error a shot? Just follow the steps listed below and you'll be well on your way!
1. Click your username at the top of the forum webpage and then go to 'User Control Panel'.
2. Under 'Miscellaneous', click 'Group Memberships'.
3. Click 'Join Group' next to 'T&E Participant' under 'Groups you can Join'.
4. Wait for acceptance into the group. For expedited processing, notify an admin/contest host on Discord (You may still play levels while you wait to be accepted, just make sure to follow all the rules and record your runs).
5. Once accepted, create a thread in the T&E sub-thread you now have access to.
6. In the Arcade subsection on the forum main page, navigate to 'Platform Racing 2' and then 'Trial and Error'.
7. Create a thread by clicking 'Post Thread' and title it as desired, indicating who is participating. Include a link to your copy of this --->spreadsheet<--- This can be done by hitting 'file' at the top left, then 'make a copy'. Once a copy is made, hit 'share' at the top right and change the general access to 'anyone with this link' , and change the general access permissions from 'viewer' -> 'editor'. This will allow the judges to add comments on your runs.
8. Fill out all the information in the 'User Details' tab at the bottom, include your pr2 name in the 'prizes' section, then head to the 'trials' tab and get started!
🤑How do I get points?
That's a fantastic question! All you need to do is submit video proof of you completing any number of levels to your spreadsheet while making sure to follow all of the rules and guidelines that are outlined next.
- NO GLITCHING unless the level creator intended for the glitch to be used in the completion of the level. This will be obvious for experienced players, but not as obvious for newer ones. Use common sense, or ask for help if you're worried.
- NO HATS are allowed, except for the EXP hat and KONG hat if you need some extra swag to help you through the levels.
- ANY STATS MAY BE USED, and this includes stats you get from your daily boost or happy hour. Sometimes you need that lil' extra sauce!
- YOU MUST BE THE ONE PLAYING so, no letting your mega-gamer cousin play for you.. We want to see what YOU are capable of!
- YOU MAY PLAY ANY LEVEL AT ANY TIME, so if you feel like giving up on a level or a trial, that's okay! Go try another one and get those sweet points!
- START RECORDING BEFORE YOU ENTER THE LEVEL, we don't want any fishy business up in here.
Each level that is completed is worth 1 point totaling 150 points over the 150 levels. If you manage to complete every level in a specific trial, you will earn an additional 1 point, totaling 30 points over the 30 trials.
NOTES
- Any video URL link containing a level run should be posted in the 'video proof' section next to each trial in the trial tab on your spreadsheet. You may include as many videos as you'd like (single, playlist, assorted, livestream vod etc), just make sure they are organized and easy to navigate. Please include timestamps of the start and finish of each level for the judges if necessary, and Make sure your video is uploaded, publicly available, and won't be deleted!
- Every point you earn needs to be verified by a judge, so if you want those epic rewards, make sure to notify a judge that you've uploaded some level completions. Please do this by posting a comment on your personal T&E thread on the forum.
🤯NEW CHECKPOINT/SAVE STATE OPPORTUNITY
While playing through Trial and Error, you might find yourself taking a very long time to complete a single level and having to quit halfway due to life obligations or burnout which can be very frustrating (heh). This new rule aimed to tackle those issues is described below.
At any point during a level (with exceptions), you may choose to postpone your level completion until a later point. This can be done using a program called 'blockeditor' (DL: BlockEditor) which allows a map to be copied, edited, then re-uploaded to Platform Racing 2. Simply quit a level whenever you chose to 'save' your last respawn location, then later copy the map using BlockEditor, add the '1' respawn block above (or behind/wherever to avoid making the level easier) the solid block you last touched, then save and publish the level to your account.
Rules for the save state feature:
- THE LEVEL MUST NOT BE TIMED, this should be self-explanatory.
- YOU MUST BE ON A SOLID BLOCK when choosing to create your 'save,' meaning a block that you would respawn on after touching a net.
- THE ENTIRE PROCESS MUST BE ON VIDEO. You must show the use of BlockEditor when you choose to 'load your save' so that the original creator's level is proven to be untampered with. Show everything from the first quit to the loading of the level in BlockEditor, to the saving of the level to the start of your edited save state.
- THE SAME STATS MUST BE USED, so make sure your stats are the same before and after taking a break.
- DO NOT UPLOAD THE LEVEL TO NEWEST, BlockEditor will ask you whether you want to upload the level to the 'newest' tab when you publish it; make sure the box is unchecked.
- MAKE IT CLEAR THAT THE LEVEL IS NOT YOURS, just change the name to something that tells anyone looking at your levels that it is not yours. ex. 'hat factory unofficial for T&E Contest'
- DELETE THE LEVEL ONCE YOU HAVE BEATEN IT. Yep, it's gotta go.
Other levels that are exempt from the save state feature: Overseer,
Make certain that the process is easy to follow or you may be asked to replay the level!

🛑❗You have been warned❗🛑
This contest is very very difficult, so get as many points as you can! (or at least get the sets you want.. this stuff doesn't come for free!) -- The point system will be reworked in the future as some levels in the earlier trials are far too difficult to encounter that early.
Don't be discouraged, keep fighting, and make sure to have fun! Don't be afraid to ask for guidance, and notify a judge if you need clarification on any of these rules.
Can you get all 180 points?
Fred believes in you so you must believe too! Hone and perfect your epic skills!
