Hey guys! We are rolling out a new competition here. I hope you find this enjoyable and a good way to pick up one of the best N64 games of all time again. Time Trials was where it was at in this game for me. But since then, my skills have dulled considerably. If you want to use existing times already on your cart, I'm cool with that. Just post a photo from your records screen with your name on it. Personally, I'm going to go back and re-race like it's all new and use those times. For me this is about getting back into playing the game. I'll start posting up some times tonight or tomorrow. EDIT If you have any questions about this competition, just let me know! I look forward to the challenge you guys are sure to bring!Okay, here's some times to get the ball rolling! I'm quite rusty, but on some of these tracks got a lot closer than I thought I would. In one case, more than close. These are all non-shortcut times. Spoiler: click to toggle Edited by kartmaster, May 20 2015, 12:02 PM.

Let's get this out of the way: I'm no Kartmaster; and I need a ton of work on my slides. But I'll put some times out there. Here are my non-shortcut times for the Mushroom Cup: Luigi Raceway (1:56:25) ![]() I have never been good at this course. Moo Moo Farm (1:29:78) ![]() Like all the iterations of the Moo Moo Koopa Troppa Beach (1:44:56) ![]() Hit the ramp cut all three times (and didn't hit any trees . . . hooray!) Kalamari Desert (2:07:23) ![]() I guess beating the train makes me feel like a record breaker even if the time is otherwise unspectacular. |

Thanks BDR and Vinyl! I got your times updated. The pack is forming! You guys have some pretty consistent lap times, from there it's just dialing it in! Vinyl and the PAL players keep me accountable on your converted times. If you are in doubt, call me out! |

A new leader ladies and gentlemen! Cabanon is on top of the board. WOW, what a time on Mario Raceway! That is sweet! Well done, Cabanon. For Yoshi Valley, I'm currently of the mind that hopping the valley before the hairpin turn is a shortcut, as it breaks the "spirit" of the track. As opposed to Koopa Troopa Beach, where the ramp is overt and a designed track feature. I'm open for discussion on any and all "is that a shorcut" talk, however. |

Awesome Vinyl! I'm at work now, but I'll get your times updated ASAP. And once my N64 is hooked back up, I've got some new times to crank out! Feels so good to be getting back into this game. =) And Cabanon, if you could put your name in future shots. I don't doubt your times, but just keeps us all transparent. BTW, are you guys OK with me putting pictures in your posts into spoiler tags after I update the leaderboard? It will keep the clutter down, and most imporantly help me remember which ones I've already done! |

Hey, I'm impressed! How long has it been since you had played before? It looks like some of those tracks you only gave one go. If that's the case, I fear for my remaining times, haha. | ||

@KartMaster, Likewise! To keep fresh, i will sit down to play through a cup, and alternate with mirror mode. But i really haven't played much Time Attack since 1997 when i was trying to get my times in NINTENDO POWER, so i was anxious to revisit it. It took me longer to upload than anything else. I never made the cut back then, but did get "Super Power Stamps" for trying though. I still have them! Like SWEIR, all the hours just stuck with me. I could feel "the zone". You made an interesting contest mate! The numbers can tell quite a story. We all have our own style it seems. It's great to see! ![]() Edited by No64DD, Jun 9 2015, 09:34 PM.

I skirted a few grown up responsibilities to crank out the rest of my non-SC times tonight! Most of my belongings are still scattered about in boxes around my house, but by golly the Retro Room is up and running! You guys talking about the Nintendo Power Hot Lap competition remind me of myself, only for me it was Tips & Tricks magazine. They always featured the fastest reader time for Mario Raceway in every issue. I was bound and determined to get into the magazine. I would beat the published time, but every time the next issue came out, somebody had a time faster than mine! Dang it! Haha. No64DD & Cabanon: What shortcut are you taking in Koopa Troopa beach for your SC times, if you don't mind my asking. If we're considering the ramp a shortcut, I need to switch my time to a SC time. And at last, my new times: Spoiler: click to toggle LEADERBOARD UPDATE! 1st (+2).... 44 (+15) ----- kartmaster 2nd (-1).... 35 (-5) ------- No64DD 3rd (-1)..... 28 (-4) ------ Cabanon 4th (+0).... 02 (+0) ----- bluedogrulez 5th (+0).... 01 (+0) ----- Vinyl Edited by kartmaster, Jun 9 2015, 09:46 PM.

My goodness!!! You weren't kidding! Ok, Koopa Troopa Beach is a good talking point. My shourtcut was using the ramp tunnel. So if there is another shortcut, i don't know it. That goes for a lot of other courses, which can make shortcuts a "grey area". Killer times dude! ![]() The Yoshi Valley "shortcut" takes nerves of steel IMO. I go LEFT and do the boost like you did... Here we Go! Edited by No64DD, Jun 10 2015, 05:00 AM.

Okay, Gents. Koopa Troopa Beach is causing some confusion. After getting some feedback, I'm prepared to consider taking the tunnel ramp a SHORTCUT. Skipping the ramp and going around will be NON-SHORTCUT. If you have comments on the matter, I'll leave this up for discussion for 24 hours. Any other tracks we need to talk about shortcuts? |

Vinyl comes back with a vengeance! Laying down some smoking times! Gaining 17 points in the standings, thanks in part to taking the top spot on four tracks! Moo Moo Farm, Toad's Turnpike, Choco Mountian, and Mario Raceway. This steals a few points from the leaders and narrow's the gap, meanwhile, knocking bluedogrulez out of the points. LEADERBOARD UPDATE! 1st (+0).... 37 (-7) ----- kartmaster 2nd (+0).... 32(-3) ------- No64DD 3rd (+0)..... 22(-6) ------ Cabanon 4th (+1).... 18 (+17) ----- Vinyl 5th (-1).... 00 (-2) ----- bluedogrulez NOTE: I have updated Koopa Troopa Beach times to reflect the ramp as a shortcut.
