Im glad you put the sign to collect it with the car, since the character is so good at climbing by themselves that i ditch the car while it was doing flips in the water to get the orb, then i tried again and got it, went to top and kept dying to the good boy and wasnt getting what to do until one of the times it seems to miss and changed to a land phase and was able to reach the end. I kinda expected a longer sequence with the red vial but was still good.
The reward for the time cycles is cool as some of them make the place look better for atmosphere but not to drive in them.
