Right on, Vinyl! If you're thinking about hopping into the competition, don't feel like you need to post a complete set of times all at once. And if picture hosting is a problem, don't forget about n64foreverhotlap@gmail.com. You can just send your pictures straight to that e-mail from your phone and I'll post them here. Here's a Time Trial's blast from the past! Full article HERE.

KTB ramp is defenetaly a shortcut route, going around it is a non-shortcut way. yoshi valley jump near the end is piss easy, but not the fastest way at all. and yes, right then left is the shortest route. im busy all weekend so i cant put in some time but ill do my best to crank up some time on sunday night. |

I dunno, Yoshi Valley shortcut kinda annoyed me! but here it is. ![]() right then left huh? I gotta try that. I shouldn't ask, but are there legitimate shortcuts for EVERY track? Edited by No64DD, Jun 12 2015, 11:12 PM.

One new time for me tonight. Spent a little bit of time just trying to hit the shortcut on all three laps AND avoid the chomps! I was stressin' those chomps the entire last lap! And it cost me... I was 0.03 seconds off my best time ever! Dang it! I did get a new fastest lap time though! ![]() Shortcuts on every track? No, there aren't. But the chart is so pretty when it's all even like that! Haha. For our purposes, boosting across grass or sand is NOT considered a shortcut. Jumping gaps or exploiting glitches ARE shortcuts. |

@Cabanon I've actually gained a lot of respect for the SuperPad. I spent the first 10 years shunning that controller and passing it off on some of my less trustworthy friends when they came over. It's not very comfortable and feels kinda blocky compared to the original controller. About 2 years ago I started using it for Mario Kart 64 so I didn't burn up the few good controllers I owned. I found it was a ton more responsive than the worn out thumbsticks I was resorting to before. The stick is holding up well... so far. The fact that I'm able to even get close to some of my old records has made me a believer. I wouldn't want to use it for everything, but it's durable and expendable, which makes it a good piece to go to war with. =) LEADERBOARD UPDATE! 1st (+0).... 40 (+3) ----- kartmaster 2nd (+0).... 34(+2) ------ No64DD 3rd (+0)..... 22(+0) ----- Cabanon 4th (+0).... 18 (+0) ----- Vinyl 5th (+0).... 00 (+0) ----- bluedogrulez Edited by kartmaster, Jun 13 2015, 09:19 AM.

I agree with Cabanon, non-standard controllers can be hindering psychologically. It is why i don't use my HORI minis for MK64. plus the R button is too close for comfort. :\ |

@Bamboozled A sore thumb tonight for sure. I was trying shortcuts on Wario's Stadium and Mario Raceway for a good while. Darn ol' "Nintendo Thumb". A few new times: Koopa Troopa Beach - 1'46"13 Another shortcut debate. The sandbar to the right of the arch... shortcut? I didn't take it in this run, stuck to the path that goes by the ramp. ![]() Koopa Troopa Beach SC - 1'29"57 I can't decide where to use my shrooms on this track yet. Finally cleared the ramp all three laps though, so a nice improvement to my time! ![]() Wario Stadium SC - 1'10"29 Hopping over the second wall by the start/finish line I struggle to get consistently. I could really improve this time... but I just can't nail the rhythm of this shortcut to fully take advantage of it. ![]() Mario Raceway - 1'22"99 By far my favorite track, so I really had to spend some time here and get my time whittled down. Made several runs. Still couldn't best Vinyl's time. I'm going to have to put some more work into this one. I tried several runs at getting the shortcut jump over the wall, but wasn't really getting close, and the ol' thumb was starting to bark so at this point I called it a night. ![]() |

@Bamboozled, Some might hate me for saying this, but my thumbstick feels tighter than ever! I've been using my Yellow standard the whole time. I'll speak to the people who haven't dared enter this comp yet- we ALL "play" different.

We're still early in the competition, players are still working on filling out their times on all the tracks. So at this stage of the game, submitting new times right now results in an instant boost in the standings! That said, our members are cranking out some very respectable times! No64DD submits the first Shortcut time for Frappe Snowland. Vinyl claims first place on two Star Cup courses: Wario Stadium and Sherbert Land. Kartmaster comes up short of first on Mario Raceway and Koopa Troopa Beach, but puts down a new first place time for the Koopa Shortcut and the lone Shortcut time on Wario Stadium. In this update Vinyl leaps over Cabanon for 3rd Place, but Cabanon has pledged to be back with more times soon! Watch the battle unfold here! LEADERBOARD UPDATE! 1st (+0).... 48 (+8) ----- kartmaster 2nd (+0).... 33 (-1) ------ No64DD 3rd (+1)..... 23 (+5) ----- Vinyl 4th (-1).... 17 (-5) ----- Cabanon 5th (+0).... 00 (+0) ----- bluedogrulez |

The competition is getting close! No64DD narrows the gap between first and second from 15 to THREE points! Cabanon passes Vinyl to get into the bold for 3rd place. I have the feeling my 1st place on the leaderboard is about to fall!

All of this excitment made me want to share something i harken back to- this game's roots... ![]() I know i use Peach alot- always, and it does handicap me somewhat. Although the debate on which character is really the best; makes MK64 such a masterpiece! But if there was one other character that i would consider devoting to, it would be Kamek. ![]() WHAT I WOULDN'T GIVE to have a dream run with you guys in this Beta version! I think we have earned it. ![]() Who knows?maybe someday... Edited by No64DD, Jun 22 2015, 10:17 AM.
