KickMania! Cheats, Tips, & Tricks
Surprisingly enough, a lot of people are playing KickMania on Facebook to put the boot to their friends. One can only hope that this desire applies strictly to the game, and not some deep seeded roots within reality. How on Earth do people kick so far? Some of these coveted kicks are well over 200, even 300 meters.
Well, there are a few secrets to share that those “ass-assins” use that might help you in your quest to own your very own collection of…we’ll stop. Anyway, you have to start with the basics, which means the more obvious tips: Start owning your friends. That’s right, in order to better kick asses, you need to own more people. Here’s the deal, the more you own, the more expensive (and more powerful) kicks become available. Assuming that you have done this already and have owned enough people to unlock the $1000 kick, then it comes down to a little bit of finesse.
The trick is timing, positioning, and explosives. First off, make sure you’ve owned 500 people so that you have access to the maximum of five explosive charges. These charges will allow you to detonate an explosion near the crash dummy as he or she reaches the ground and allows you to get some extra distance, but before that can come into play the initial kick has to be perfect.
KickMania utilizes a very well built physics engine to simulate the rag doll effect. That means that momentum, trajectory, power, and mass all come into play. With that in mind, some players say that the male dummy is the better choice because it has more mass, and more mass equals more momentum. While this isn’t written in stone, it is worth considering. Despite whether or not you choose to use a male or female dummy, you still have to be both very quick in reacting to the power meter and incredibly precise on your position. Before you do anything, try to position your foot near the dummy’s waist, just where the shirt and pants meet at a 45 degree angle. Once you’re ready, be prepared to react quickly to the power meter and attempt to kick at its highest apex for the greatest potential.
$1000 Kick: Check. Position: Check. Power: Check. Okay, so now comes the use of explosives. For $50 you can detonate a charge, but you will need a kick of at least 30 meters to even see the first one. These charges activate when you get close to them, and once near, you can press “spacebar” to set them off. This, however, is where timing is critical. Remember, that this game is a simulated physics engine, thus both angle and distance from the explosion are going to affect trajectory and momentum. If you detonate too far away, you will get little to no result. If you go too soon, you might send your target backwards. What you want to try and do is trigger the explosion at the last possible second so that it goes off before the dummy’s center of mass hits the ground and is at about a 45 degree angle to the right of the charge. Each well timed charge should get you an extra 30 – 50 meters on your total kick distance.
Markus Weischselbaum of KickMania describes it in a technical sort of way on the KickMania forums: “The direction of the boost vector is an imaginary line from the explosive charge towards the center of mass of the body….the force applied to the body is inversely proportional to the square of its distance from the explosion.”
There you have it. Before you even start going for those distance records, you’re going to have to earn all five explosives and that $1000 kick. Once you’ve done that though, it all comes down to position, power, timing, and practice. Finding that sweet spot for all three major elements of the game is pretty tough, but now that you know what to look for, it should make your endeavors a little easier to pursue. Best of luck fellow ass kickers, and remember to wear padded jeans.

Sometimes when I kick, I do not get my points nor the booty I kicked, why is this?

Lawlz does someone with 1000$ kicks not know these things?
Imo: Its unnecessary, this guide.

kiccking ass is my hobby. i relax when i kick somebody’s ass

Soooo… I was sent to this page for “info” and “help” which this page has given me neither. “Own 500 asses” is the best advice we’ve been given with this? How about:
1. Where *exactly* do we kick for ultimate distance?
2. At *what* angle? 45 degrees isn’t getting me as far as other angles are so that’s out.
3. Pictures showing us exactly where to kick or maybe a flash video showing is how, where, the angle, etc. Now THAT’s the sort of help I’d like to see.
I’ve got not problems getting the 200+ kicks. It’s the 300+ kicks I’d like to see!!!

This doesn’t make any sence !
When I hit a dummy at the exact place this articles recommends (where the shirt and pants meet) at 45 degree angle : the dummy doens’t even make it to 60 meters !!!
I think a female dummy is a better choise : if i hit them on the bud the fly better than a male dummy on any place.
I’m still trying to find the best way to kick a male dummy. They don’t seem to fly very well..

A trick we found is that if you click “start” but don’t move your mouse, the positioning that the game shows you as “optimal” stays and then you just have to watch the kick meter. When we figured this out, we were kicking farther than we ever were with trying to position the “foot” ourselves and we were going max distance on max meter. Turning out to be a really addictive game!

I have noticed that the optimum kicking points are different with men and women.
If you look at the little diagram, it shows you the optimum point.
With men it is above the ass where the shirt meets the pants, as described above.
With women, it is on the flat seat part of the butt.
I guess this is meant to reflect the difference of centre of mass in women and men.
This is why some people are having better results with men and others with women. It all depends on where you stick the boot in!
Hope this helps

The optimum place to hit the male dummy is just below the elbow, @45 degree angle
A $500 dolar kick at max power hit at this sweat spot should yield towards 160-165, However you need to find those mines to really make it count!
You know when you’ve hit this sweet spot since the dummy balls up with the arse and head al most meeting. Not a tumble, you’ll know it when you see it. He should climb into the stars and start decending at about 120meters.
Women are a pain in the arse to get that far! I guess there are multitasking with something else to be bothered about the longer distance!
Any help?

Maximum kick advice:
I agree with Scott. The sweet spot for male dummies is just below the elbow.
Female dummies I have found go farthest when kicking them just above the knee @ 45 degrees.
I also agree that male dummies seem to be easier to kick greater distances. I can kick them 120m-140m on $250 kicks pretty regularly. up to 170m-190m if I get the explosives involved correctly.
I’m not using $500 or $1000 kicks due to lack of coinage but I imagine the above positioning will work on them as well.
If anyone has found better luck kicking in other places/angles please let me know.

This guide aint that good
that is cos i can only kick $100 kicks and i wanted a guide for that!
This guide shud have info for begginners too!

Distance of kicks no explosives
$100 87 meters for male and 94 for female
$250 156 meters for male and 138 for female
$500 165 meters for male and 155 for female
$1000 179 meters for male and 163 for female
You could get a lucky bounce and get another meter or so but this is close! For best results look at the leaderboard for everyone and pick one of the kings and start viewing there kicks and how they line up on them! Look where they put there foot and use the writing to the side of the screen to line up to copy a kick! The thing is you do not know how many dollars they spent on there kicks but once you get use to it and know how far each kick goes for the way they are lining up on it its easy! Just because you use a $1000 kick does not mean I cant kick it farther with a $250, Its all in the explosives! You can hit explosives with every kick you just have to know where they are at and every person is different male or female. Alot of males are the same but you cant tell which is till you kick them and the same goes for females. If you are just starting pay attention to the diagram on where to kick and the angle especially on 100 kicks. Once you get bigger kicks its best to view other peoples kick and try to copy it till you figure it out! Hope this helped I’m ranked no.18 Assing for trouble so I know what I’m talking about but I’m still learning!

hello.. does someone has a cheat here?or can kick as high as 200m? I dont like my owner…!!
January 16th, 2010 at 2:26 pm
I still don’t get how you are supposed to know where the explosives are. Seems every random to me and there’s no pattern.
February 10th, 2010 at 9:55 pm
thank you all for the guidance………i am a beginer and it will definatily help me a lot……

thanks buddy
