Ground Hog Day Level 1-30 is solved in two steps. Build a solid three box cart with the metal frames, power wheels and the umbrella in the back. Navigate your contraption to the first crevasse where you should slow down a little by opening the umbrella. Your vehicle should fall through the star box and down to the finish line. In our second contraption we replaced 2 metal frames with wood frames and removed the umbrella. Navigate your contraption as fast as possible over the first crevasse, all the way to the far right ramp and turn off your motor just before the fall. Your contraption should easily roll backwards across the finish line within the time limit.
If you have a different strategy for completing this level feel free to leave a comment below.
All 3 stars can be achieved in one try. What you need to do is let off the gas when the vehicle is between the two patches of grass at the end. Turn on the gas just before you hit the star box. If timed right , The Metal box bounces off the side and the vehicle continues down to the finish line.

Nice contraption @tinostar11, thank you for sharing!
Yeah, that works. But the piggie bounced out of the box and was dragged along between the wheels. Whatever works I guess. I couldn’t get the 3*’s using the video.
i had made a similar contraption and got 3* in one try
@tinostar11 Perfect !!
Very clever @tinostar11 ~ Thanks for sharing.
I got Star and Map on the first try using a slightly different configuration.
Configuration: Umbrella, wood box w/motor, metal box w/pig, wood box; driven wheels under the wood boxes.
Close the umbrella until you drop into the first big gap. When you go over the edge, open the umbrella. Pick up the Star on the way down and close the umbrella once you are righted at the bottom. The wheels will roll over the bumps and get the Map.
I did very similar: my difference it is closed umbrella all the time . Just go in in the first gap the wheels pick everything even the pig. I finished with 54 minutes to spare !!!
Time icon alternate method:
I kept getting Krak/snap on the PC version following the video’s method until I attached the umbrella far left. All other blocks are as shown in part 2 of the video.
Close the umbrella and leave it closed. Turn off the drive wheels the moment you clear the cliff and let gravity do the work. :)
I can’t see in the video how you collect the star?
From what I can see in Slim’s video on my PC, the star is not touched at at all.
I realize I edited the video incorrectly. I’m going to re-edit tomorrow. Sorry about that.
If the grid is:
x x x x
x x x x
Then I did:
MM WP MM W
W x x x
MM= metal box and motor
WP = wood box and pig
W = wheel
Then full speed until the first ‘bump’, let off the power, the pig should pop out of the vehicle while it collects the star. Then you should be able to push the pig with the vehicle until the finish line, all with 2 seconds left 8)
very easy to get all 3* in one try.
i use a “motorcycle” design.
with the above
XXXX
XXXX layout:
– MM MP W
– W – –
gas it, let off just as you get to the pit with star, drop in and collect star, gas it, let off when you hit the big bump so you glide smooth, gas it. plenty of time.
you can also use the umbrella on the back to glide for maybe 1 sec down into the pit to collect the star but quickly retract and gas.
cheers.
Solved t without using umbrella. Adjust motor speed and gently fall through device.
