Volcano Minigame / Data Rush

The community Volcano walkthrough describes Data Rush as four platforming tracks: finish a track to earn Data, then use upgrades and movement abilities to reach later tracks. It identifies Dash, Double-Jump and Wall-Run as progression abilities. Official updates separately make the Gauntlet section and Track 4 easier, and fix infinity upgrades in 1.0.13. Track directions below are player-verified, not independently tested by this wiki.

Changes that affect this guide

  • 1.0.12 · 2026-09-21

    Old advice to keep digging deeper for the yellow mine material is incomplete after this patch. Recheck the updated mine before judging rarity from launch-week runs. The movement-speed entry is a text fix, not evidence of a changed buff value.

  • 1.0.10 · 2026-09-18

    This is launch-day history, not the latest build. An old Primary Only complaint or difficult Gauntlet video may predate this change; later patches also change minigame progression and upgrades.

Check the ability gate before repeating a jump

Leyren's walkthrough assigns Dash to reaching Track 2, Double-Jump to Track 3 and Wall-Run to Track 4. It also notes that the approach to Track 4 is from Track 1, rather than a straight continuation from Track 3. Use the guide's video if the route is unclear; current bindings should be checked in your game.

Movement mistakes that can waste a run

The guide describes mid-air steering and warns that bounce pads and wall-runs do not refresh already-used abilities. Save the movement option you need for the next gap, and observe a moving platform's cycle before committing. These are practical suggestions, not guaranteed completion times.

Separate difficulty from a broken upgrade

1.0.10 adjusts the Gauntlet Data Rush segment, 1.0.12 makes Track 4 easier, and 1.0.13 fixes infinity-upgrade behavior. Failing a jump does not demonstrate that an upgrade failed. Record which purchase or effect is wrong if you are reporting a bug.

What the activity contributes

The community guide connects the final track to WR Any% and describes permanent outside-minigame upgrades there. Use the official achievement index to confirm the objective wording; it is not the Volcano Master regional milestone achievement.
