The Slingshot.
The Slingshot is a transportation device available to the player once they have discovered 8 different bee types. It is located next to the Clover Field and usually quickly transports the player past the Brave Bee Gate and right in front of the Pro Shop, it may undershoot and cause the player to land in front of Panda Bear.
Trivia[]
- If the player has 8 different bee types but doesn't have 10 bees in their hive yet, they will be always be teleported back to the spawn pad if they try to pass the Brave Bee Gate. This used to be a method to pass the Brave Bee Gate.
A player being launched towards Panda Bear.
- The cause of the different destinations is described by Onett as "noob scripting". To increase the chance of launching to the Pro Shop (the intended destination), jump onto the pad; to increase the chance of launching to Panda Bear (the "it's a feature, not a bug" destination), walk onto the pad instead.
- This is the only non-cannon transport device that launches the player.
- There is a smaller version used as a weapon in the Retro Swarm Challenge.
