Dirt Bike Stunt Game: Star Time Targets for All 25 Levels
Key takeaways
- Every Rampcrest level has three time targets. The three-star target runs from 25 seconds (levels 1 and 6) to 40 seconds (level 22), 31.2 seconds on average.
- The one-star target runs from 35 to 50 seconds, 42.0 on average, so the gap between one and three stars is 7 to 15 seconds (10.8 on average).
- Level 1 lists 36, 30 and 25 seconds on its result screen.
- In four test runs that only held the up arrow, the bike crashed between 4.8 and 12.7 seconds every time.
The first thing to know about the star times in Rampcrest is that every one of its 25 levels has three time targets, and the three-star target runs from 25 seconds on levels 1 and 6 to 40 seconds on level 22. We read the targets from the game’s level files and checked the first level on screen, where the result panel lists 36, 30 and 25 seconds. The game’s own code counts one star for every target your finishing time is at or under.
The targets, level by level
The chart shows the three targets of each level. The orange line is the three-star target, the one to aim for.
| Target | Shortest | Longest | Average |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 stars | 25 | 40 | 31.2 |
| 1 star | 35 | 50 | 42.0 |
| Gap between them | 7 | 15 | 10.8 |
The gap is smallest on levels 3 and 18 (7 seconds) and largest on level 5 (15 seconds). On a level with a small gap, a clean run decides everything; on level 5 a slower run still earns a star. A short target does not mean an easy level, because the targets follow how long each level is.
The three settings
The 25 levels split into three looks, and their targets are close to each other.
| Setting | Levels | 3 stars | 1 star |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beach | 8 | 30.8 | 41.3 |
| Canyon cave | 9 | 32.1 | 43.1 |
| Desert sunset | 8 | 30.5 | 41.5 |
The cave levels ask for about a second and a half more on average. The level files say which setting each level uses: levels 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 16, 21 and 22 are the beach, levels 3, 4, 7, 10, 11, 14, 17, 20 and 23 are the canyon cave, and the other eight are the desert sunset.
What happens if you only hold the throttle
We also held the up arrow from the start on four levels and did nothing else. Each run crashed. The table gives the two timer readings from our screenshots, the last before and the first after the crash.
| Level | What we saw | Crash between |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A ramp jump, then a field of spiked stars | 10.3 and 12.7 s |
| 5 | Barrels and a TNT crate, then an explosion near spikes | 8.5 and 10.0 s |
| 10 | Cave ramps, then a row of spikes | 8.4 and 10.3 s |
| 20 | Cave ramps, then the rider came off the bike | 4.8 and 6.9 s |
One run per level in a test browser is a small sample. The point is only that full throttle alone does not get you through: the levels expect you to tilt the bike in the air and land well.
4 tips from the numbers
- Read the three targets first. The result panel lists them, so you know what to beat next time.
- Do not hold the throttle all the way. Every one of our throttle-only runs ended in a crash within 13 seconds.
- Restart fast. Press R: the timer returned to 00.00 right away in our test.
- Save stars for the bike shop. The first bike is yours from the start; the other two cost 15 and 40 stars.

Frequently asked questions
How do stars work in Rampcrest?
Each level has three time targets. You get one star for every target you finish within, so beating the shortest time gives three stars. Level 1 lists 36, 30 and 25 seconds.
What is the hardest star target?
The tightest three-star targets are 25 seconds, on levels 1 and 6. The longest is 40 seconds on level 22. Time targets follow level length, so a short target does not mean an easy level.
How many stars can you get in total?
Three per level, so 75 across the 25 levels. The map counter showed 75 when we marked every level as completed with three stars in a test profile.
What do stars buy?
Bikes in the bike shop. The first bike is equipped from the start and the other two cost 15 and 40 stars.
Can I just hold the throttle?
Not for long. In our four runs that only held the up arrow on levels 1, 5, 10 and 20, the bike crashed on spikes, an explosion or a drop within 4.8 to 12.7 seconds.
Which keys does the game use?
The arrow keys to ride and tilt (we tested up and left), P to pause, R to restart and Space to continue after a crash, as the game’s own prompt says. On a touch screen it shows four on-screen buttons.
