"Reality's shifting at its very core
I've finished with seconds
But I still want-a more....
More than pizza time
And-a pizza face...
This-a lap is the ULTIMATE RACE!"

I was looking for a simple kill bind or something, but this works too! I might check out the actual content that this mod adds in the future, but for now I'm just happy to have an on-command kill for the rare case that I need to die with no way to do so. I'm looking at you, Dead Bird Studio key door.

great challnage, geart idea, great everything! and i got an idea for a reward if u get a perfect score on a level; so there is that snatcher custum u get for beating "seal the deal", well, what about a green ghost custum for getting a perfect score?

Hello! This mod is fantastic however when I enable it when playing as Bow Kid this mod seems to default her to the Virtual Kid costume and remove her body? (This may be just a mod conflict on my part but I'm just wondering if anyone else has this issue, I don't have any other dyes or custom hats installed)

ah! thanks for the report guys. I think I know why this is.

In addition to what Dark Meta Knight said, it also happens when bringing up the emote wheel/chat window offline. The ghost disappears immediately(?) when the button is pressed, but respawns when you start moving again.
Also, you don't take damage, nor does it seem to count towards your 'hits taken' score (I don't know if that information is helpful in solving it or not, but here it is anyway)
Perhaps, since the ghost also disappears when looking through a telescope, the mod recognises the emote wheel as a similar menu?
Dark Meta Knight 18 May, 2019 @ 3:21pm 
Just so you know the ghost seems to disappear when bringing up the chat window in online. Kinda weird.
Argle Bargle  [author] 18 May, 2019 @ 9:12am 
all fixed! thanks for enjoying chase badge!
Argle Bargle  [author] 18 May, 2019 @ 8:58am 
oh oops, I updated this but forgot to submit the update!
Dark Meta Knight 18 May, 2019 @ 8:27am 
Please update for DLC 2. This is one of my favorite mods.
Souper 17 May, 2019 @ 3:58pm 
Hasn't been updated for DLC 2.

It crashes the game now. Here are the error messages:

In the spaceship:
'Failed to find the function IsElementEnabled in Hat_HUD hud_spaceship.TheWorld:PersistentLevel.Hat_HUD_1'

Mafia town:
'Failed to find the function IsElementEnabled in Hat_HUD mafia_town.TheWorld:PersistentLevel.Hat_HUD_2'

This is an interesting concept and one I support.

...but it needs tweaking. The ghost moves too fast to effectively outrun (it also seems to move faster if you try to use sprint shoes) and it can and will cut you off.

PixMarble 4 Dec, 2018 @ 12:05pm 
dis and projectile badge and cappy is so so so fun lol
EpicYoshiMaster 10 Nov, 2018 @ 12:17pm 
I like the idea of the mod, and the way it is implemented indeed ensures everything is possible, but I don't think the way it's done makes it as fun as it could be.

(In writing this my message got long, so I'll link it in a pastebin: https://pastebin.com/ndGfaBHB )
TLDR: Overall, I enjoy the concept but it needs better execution to make it fun, at least to me.

*[Also deaths shouldn't count as damage taken for the medal system if it restarts you at the beginning of the level, it forces you to go back to the hub just to try again for perfects] (Perhaps an option could be asked after levels with checkpoints to start over but that's asking for a lot)
Thanks for reading! :HatHealth:
SuperSnackBros 28 Oct, 2018 @ 10:25am 
Haha, it's the green demon!
Wrench Dressing 1 Oct, 2018 @ 2:22pm 
I saw this mod in Radical Soda's video!
Dusty Hammer 22 Sep, 2018 @ 9:35am 
Only comment I have for this mod is it should be a constant speed. Tried this in stage 1 to get away with the Ice Hat stomp pads to gain distance and the thing sped way up as if I never used it at all. If it were to maintain a speed faster than walking, but slower than running, that'd be perfect :steamhappy:
PixMarble 19 Sep, 2018 @ 11:11pm 
imma complete all dat 3 files with dis badge ;)
Raven 13 Sep, 2018 @ 9:33pm 
Glad to see they officially added this into the game :^)))))))
Edjentheous Ovedheadrascal 1 Sep, 2018 @ 3:59pm 
The Ghost travels just a bit faster than your walking, which is good.
But he also changes his speed when you use the Sprint Hat to just a bit faster than your sprinting, which is bad.
And he also changes his speed to just a bit faster than your scootering, which is even worse.
Iced Cactus 31 Aug, 2018 @ 6:10pm 
Have you thought of adding an option to change the speed of the ghost?
saph 5 Jul, 2018 @ 12:47pm 
why would you want this

Green mushroom challenge in A Hat in Time? Interesting.

He's powered up for the final showdown!
D YellowMadness 22 May, 2018 @ 10:53am 
During the final phase of the final fight, the ghost has a trail of after images &, if the ghost touches me once, I die.
D YellowMadness 16 Mar, 2018 @ 9:54pm 
I finally beat Queen Vanessa's Manor.

Did you know the new workshop banner which also shows up when loading A Hat in Time has a reference to this mod on the left blueprint?
D YellowMadness 8 Mar, 2018 @ 12:06pm 
I finally beat Train Rush.

Spectr@L 28 Jan, 2018 @ 7:22pm 
now we just need a mod that replaces the ghost with the monsters from Spooky's Jumpscare Mansion.

Great challange badge.
Syrus Solaris 20 Jan, 2018 @ 5:10pm 
Green Demon Challenge from SM64, anybody?
...No?
Okay...
JigglyMain 20 Jan, 2018 @ 8:07am 
I unsubscribed but the badge is still in my game and still works? What gives?
Jesse4060 1 Jan, 2018 @ 3:01pm 
I have a feeling this was inspired by the Green Demon challenge for Super Mario 64
[C]lass.IcAL 27 Dec, 2017 @ 1:22pm 
Gotta go fast! or get violently killed by a spooky ghost.
cannon9009 7 Dec, 2017 @ 1:59pm 
This is like the Mario 64 Green Demon challenge except here, the level doesn't end, you fucking get KILLED :IrisHeartRebirth3:
Argle Bargle  [author] 30 Nov, 2017 @ 12:01pm 
That's actually intended. The ghost will speed up if you are using the sprint hat or the scooter, and will outpace you if you turn a lot and don't jump to create distance every now and then. I wanted to make sure none of the hat abilities trivialized the ghost.
ieToastie 29 Nov, 2017 @ 10:17pm 
Doesn't like the sprint hat, at all.
After use, the ghost speeds up to chase the player at an impossible rate.
Neat concept, but just a little buggy.
Gentleman Bird 28 Nov, 2017 @ 7:39pm 
This + super mario 64 map = GREED DEMON CHALLENGE
Argle Bargle  [author] 28 Nov, 2017 @ 5:00pm 
Ah yeah, I haven't tested it on any mod map. I'll fix the bug where he spawns again before you land from getting hit, I was able to reproduce that. It might also fix the additional hit from spawning inside of you? But I don't know for sure. I'd have to see a video or be able to reproduce it.

He will also go faster if you are using sprint or the scooter. Otherwise I don't know why he would decide to speed up like that. The distance clamp doesn't technically speed him up, it just tugs him along, like he's on a rope.

Also yeah, it helps to have a route planned when attempting The Golden Vault. I found the umbrella springs really helpful.
D YellowMadness 28 Nov, 2017 @ 4:44pm 
Oh. Never realized time stop doesn't effect him or that he always spawns opposite to the direction I'm facing.

One stunlocking I was referring to was when he hit me & then literally spawned insided of me for an additional hit although I was playing a huge mod map at the time so I figured it's probably a glitch but thought I should mention it. The other was when he knocked me off a high ledge & then hit me again on the way down. Somehow. Again though, huge mod map.

Sometimes though, I'll dash like 30 feet away from him & he'll suddenly fly into me at turbo speed. Maybe, it's because he's still matching the speed I was going a moment ago?

My problem in The Golden Vault was mostly that I didn't have time to find anything but also that I could almost never get back up if I fell to a low part of the level.
Argle Bargle  [author] 28 Nov, 2017 @ 4:19pm 
Ah yeah, I see what's happening. The ghost will always spawn 500 units away, opposite the direction you are moving (horizontally). So when you were running away from the platform you were causing him to spawn under it. He also waits until you are done being hurt (and start moving) to respawn, so he cant stunlock you (by himself).

The ghost's maximum distance limit is also 500, so he'll be dragged along with you if you go very fast. His actual speed is 410 (Hat Kid's is 400) so you don't actually need to dive constantly, just when you need a burst of distance. He also doesn't care about the Time Stop hat, since he matches your timescale.

As for Barrel Battle, it gets less tedious if you practice jumping over the ghost, but it's definitely one of the more annoying levels. Train Rush is very tricky towards the end, but possible. I didn't have too much trouble with Golden Vault, so I cant speak on that.

Thanks for playing!
D YellowMadness 28 Nov, 2017 @ 4:03pm 
I feel like a slight decrease in each of those attribute would pretty much solve it. Regardless, the mod's really fun on levels where it doesn't feel ridiculously unfair. Here's an unlisted video of the kind of thing I was complaining about.
