Denshattack Gameplay Overview & Movement Mechanics

Welcome to the definitive Denshattack walkthrough and strategy guide. In Denshattack, players assume the role of an underground urban runner dodging high-speed metropolitan transit trains, automated surveillance drones, and electrified railway grids in a sprawling cyberpunk megacity. The gameplay emphasizes fluid momentum: sliding under high-voltage conduits, grinding along third rails, and grappling onto moving express train roofs to beat strict countdown timers.

Whether you are striving for a clean Denshattack S-Rank speedrun, hunting down all 15 Golden Metro Tokens, or attempting the no-damage challenge against the Stage 5 Commuter Warden boss train, our comprehensive guide below details every shortcut, puzzle coordinate, and hidden Easter egg.

Full Stage Walkthrough & Hazard Navigation

All 15 Golden Commuter Token Locations & Coordinates

Every stage conceals exactly three Golden Commuter Tokens. These tokens are placed in precarious secret alcoves, requiring high-speed wall runs, momentum-preserving air dashes, or solving hidden environmental puzzles. Collecting all 15 tokens unlocks the prestigious Collector's Metro Pass achievement and the legendary Golden Runner outfit.

Denshattack 100% Achievement Roadmap

To achieve 100% completion in Denshattack, players must conquer progression milestones, master S-Rank speed runs, and locate hidden secrets. Here is the full verified achievement list:

5 entries

First Class TicketProgressionClear Stage 1 without falling onto electrified tracks.Stay on the upper walkways and train roofs; timing slides avoids all drone sweeps.
Subway PhantomSkill / S-RankAchieve S-Rank time on all 5 stages.Maintain chaining rail slides and avoid breaking momentum with unnecessary double jumps.
Collector’s Metro PassProgressionCollect all 15 hidden Golden Commuter Tokens across the metro network.Follow the coordinate checklist above; each stage contains exactly 3 tokens.
Ghost in the TransitSecret Easter EggDiscover the secret conductor cabin in Stage 3.At checkpoint 2 in Stage 3, jump backwards onto the stationary shadow train and hit interact.
Bullet Train VelocitySkill / S-RankReach a top speed of over 120 km/h on rail grinds.Chain 4 consecutive rail switches in Stage 4 without jumping to accumulate top velocity.

Advanced Speedrunning Tech: Slide-Cancels & Rail Grinds

1. The Slide-Jump Boost (Momentum Stacking)

By tapping crouch during a sprint and immediately pressing jump within a 3-frame window, your forward speed increases by 40% without losing height. Chaining this across flat station platforms shaves up to 12 seconds per stage.

2. Third-Rail Frictionless Grinding

Landing squarely on the yellow electrified rail while holding the forward dash button turns hazardous electricity into a supercharged speed boost. Release right before turnstile barricades to launch across large chasm gaps.

3. Train Car Roof Surfing

When jumping onto the roof of an active express train, always aim for the rear carriage and run forward against the airflow. This generates continuous double-jump resets while passing overhead station bridges.

4. Secret Conductor Cabin Easter Egg

In Stage 3 (Cyber Tunnel Expressway), do not advance past checkpoint 2 immediately. Look behind you: an unlit shadow train rests on an abandoned side siding. Leap backward and hold interact on the cabin door to trigger the secret 8-bit retro soundtrack and unlock the Ghost in the Transit achievement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do you get S-Rank in Denshattack stages?

S-Rank requires beating the par time while taking zero electrified rail damage. Chaining rail slides into immediate jump-dashes maintains top speed without losing momentum.

How many collectible tokens are in Denshattack?

There are 15 Golden Commuter Tokens in total—exactly 3 per stage. Collecting all 15 unlocks the "Collector’s Metro Pass" achievement and the Golden Commuter skin.

What is the best way to defeat The Commuter Warden boss in Stage 5?

Keep high ground on the platform trusses to avoid EMP floor sweeps. When the Warden train exposes its orange cooling vents, grapple kick the batteries to deal massive damage.

Where is the secret conductor cabin Easter egg?

In Stage 3 (Cyber Tunnel Expressway) near checkpoint 2, leap backwards onto the stationary dark train on the dead-end track. Interacting with the cabin door unlocks the secret soundtrack.
