Awesome!

Ya I tend to agree with your theory here. Could be why the pause and hitting stuff results in unusable ghosts.

WOW!!!
Big Pimpin! :facepalm:

I can't get over the way you moved through the track leading up to your discovery! :w00t:
It's fantastic. :yeah:


You TRUELY have an anomaly here! It's reminiscent of the Bowser's Castle glitch, but it's being done alone on Time Trial.

i wonder if you could try it on the NTSC version?

I get it.
It's an important fact- once a person uses an official memory card, regardless of region, it formats itself to the pertaining region you are playing the game from.

I'm starting to lean toward your anomaly being a JPN only thing. :yeah:

Took a couple tries but choco mountain short cut. Figured I'd play it safe and complete the course. Going to try and get 3 short cuts in one race on this one.
@pimp, I broke the ghost as well. What is the easiest way to upload a video?

Oh man! I really was starting to think Cabanon's Frappe SC time was untouchable. That time has stood since almost the beginning of the thread!
That is what I thought as well, I was thinking to myself that was a guaranteed 3 points for Cab.
don't take everything for granted. I will return to defend my spot.

I stand corrected! Nice work rdools.

I'm not sure how you guys are doing it, but it's the first time i have ever seen it documented. This picture also says alot about N64 after all these years. Just look at the amount of detail and texture of that wall! I always loved N64 screenshots for this reason. I could look at it all day. :yeah:

It looks like the ghost is admiring it as well. ^_^

Leaderboard Update

1st (+1).... 48 (+3) ----- No64DD
2nd (-1)... 45 (-9) ----- Pimpin Mainer
3rd (+1).... 38 (+13) ----- rdools
4th (-1)..... 25 (-4) --- kartmaster
5th(t) (+0).. 05 (-2) ----- Meader
5th(t) (+1).. 05 (-1) ---- Cabanon


New Users: none

Users Falling Out of Points: None

Most 1st Place Times: No64DD (13)

Most Top 3 Finishes: Pimpin Mainer (23)

Biggest Movers: rdools (+13 pts)

Most Times Submitted This Week Round: rdools (9)

C-C-C-Combo Breaker!: No64DD (Frappe Snowland SC)




At long last! It feels good to have an updated leaderboard! You guys have kept the times rolling in! Rdools knocked out a huge number of times, and has almost completed his Non-Shortcut Tour. And for the first time in a LONG time... every single player's points changed! A feat made possible by No64DD who beat the long standing Frappe Snowland SC record previously held by Cabanon. Some had simply decided that this time couldn't be beat. But neigh! It simply goes to show that with enough time and practice, ANY time can be beat by ANYBODY here.

Well I suck. This is the first time I have really played this game though in over 10 years. Also I need to look up how to tighten up the controller joystick. It's flopping all over the place.

Welcome! It just takes a bit of practise to get back into it! Not too long ago I was exactly where you were. Keep at our and a couple blisters later you could very well be working your way to the top!

@Sublime,
You'll want to start with a tighter thumbstick. I think of thumbsticks like catcher's mits- they are all different and fitted to the individual. ;)

This is very true, I made a controller swap and my consistency and results improved quite a bit.

Oh man, Sublime. You picked a heck of a track to jump in with! It's been one of the most intensely battled for tracks so far. But keep coming back. Keep grinding away at it and you'll be on the leaderboard sooner than you think.

When I started this thread, my only goal was to see how close I could get to my old times from back in the 90's. Being challenged by the other members here, I've beaten many of those old times and some by more than I thought was even possible!

I will say a responsive stick makes a HUGE difference in this game. There's quite a few options for repair and or replacement, but nothing out there is perfect.

For this particular game I prefer:
1. Nintendo Licensed Third Party Controller
2. Thumbstick repaired with Kitch Bent gear pieces.
3. OEM Style replacement thumbstick

I never could get comfortable with the Gamecube style replacements. And I can't bring myself to use true OEM thumbsticks for MK64 with no suitable replacements out there.

Good luck, and glad to have you!

I definitely need a tighter joystick. I'll look into some of the aftermarket stuff and those gears. I would really like to get competitive with some of your guys' lap times.
Also thanks for the tips and encouragement.
