Hahahahaha, oh god that made me laugh. I know No64DD, my poor thumbs have acquired several new layers of skin trying to hold onto mu 1st place position with you, unfortunately my thumbs have become addicted to goldeneye 007 for the last couple weeks but after this new hotlap time I think I might have to convince them to play some more Mario Kart |

Spoiler: click to toggle I don't intend to discourage others by showing this, but this is a sacrafice one has to make! A few days in the desert felt like 40 days and 40 nights. I garuntee that the people before us have the same marks/calluses. They are no different... food for thought. Edited by No64DD, Oct 14 2015, 06:22 PM.

I had mine a little higher up on my thumb but just about the same location. One would think the center would be the hotspot, but no, one must remember the corners. |

Sorry guys, got caught up watching the Royals game last night. Leaderboard update coming soon! I remember playing Mario Kart 64 so much as a kid I literally couldn't play for a couple days because of the soreness. |

I would say with that No64DD scores an easy 3 points to re-take sole ownership of the lead... but that shortcut sure doesn't look easy! As for me, I'm off to go re-gain some of my lost points. But I'm feeling pretty small looking up at the top! =) Edited by kartmaster, Oct 16 2015, 09:01 AM.

I made some small improvements on Frappe Snowland today. Not enough to improve my rank though so I'm going to keep at it. I need to find a way to shave about 1/3 second off my lap time there and I feel like I've really topped out on the route I'm running as my lap times are getting pretty consistant. Right now I'm using a shroom over the big hill after the snowman minefield. Need to find another corner to cut somewhere! |

Okay. Going to work some more on this one. I missed the SC on one of the laps and had to take two tries on the first lap to get it. But I'm dialing this one in! This time represents only about an hour and a half of my life. Haha. Edited by kartmaster, Oct 19 2015, 09:26 AM.

Life. Work. Travel. Sleep. Meh. Before I disappeared off the grid, I did knock out 3 times. Yoshi Valley SC took forever, and now I feel like I've left it alone for so long I'm going to have to go back and re-learn it again! Also spent a bunch of time on Bowser's Castle. I improved my time by quite a bit, but not enough to move up on the ranks, so I'm going to keep at it. Vinyl is in danger of slipping from the leaderboard, although I feel like your nameplate is safe for now. It's going to take another crazy soul to come in and challenge those darn moles on Moo Moo Farm. For those looking to add some points, Choco Mountain, Wario Stadium, Yoshi Valley and Rainbow Road have a pretty wide margin between 1st and 3rd, which usually means breaking into the points on those tracks is quite achievable. Kalamari Desert SC, Toad's Turnpike SC, and Choco Mountain SC don't yet have the top 3 full, so turning in ANY time on those tracks will net you some points. Happy racing, all! |

I like the idea of this a lot, if I get some time I will throw down some times. It has been a while since I have hit the track though ! |

Well it would appear I am out of practise, or you guys are very good. Played a couple of maps to see where I stand, and I'm a good 15-20 seconds behind 5th.. I'm sure I can shave some time, but I have a feeling you may be out of my league. |

Are you playing on PAL or NTSC? |

yes and no. the time are just calculated differently on PAL as they are longer than NTSC. we just need to calculate it to match the NTSC one. |

Gotcha, it seems odd that the times are calculated different. Does anyone have the rational for this? |

NTSC runs at 30 FPS, PAL runs at 25 FPS. So NTSC consoles run about 20% faster. If you like Mario Kart 64, it's worth it to spend some time in Time Trials. I bet you could cut those times down faster than you think. The controls are so deep in this game, there's a lot of refinement to be found beneath the surface. Squeezing in mini-turbos, hitting certain parts of the tracks just right so you don't slow down, or just cutting through the grass on the right corners can save tons of time! Just make yourself your primary competition, and the times take care of themselves.

![]() Looks like enough to place 4th in kalimari. I was watching some videos on this map, is the fence jump considered a shortcut in this one? My skids aren't perfected enough to drive on the sand without coming to a screeching halt, so I don't think I'm ready to attempt that yet. |

Makin' progress, man! Sweet! Yes, jumping the fence is considered a shortcut for that track. |

Hah, still quite a bit to go. There is a very huge difference in the 1-2 seconds that I'm behind. I'm not expecting to have many other top 3 finishes for a while lol |

Ha ha! YES! You are the man rdools. Positively love watching your progress. So cool to think that just a few days ago, you were talking about how you were 15 seconds off the pace. Now you're scoring points! Your Nintendo thumb is a testament to your dedication. Hells yeah. |
