At last! An update! It's been a bit quiet around these parts, but not without new records being set! New first place times on Choco Mountain as No64DD and rdrools push into uncharted territory on that course. And rdools makes a strong debut on Rainbow Road SC. Nice improvements from both players!

It's my personal goal to submit at least 3 improved times this week. Let's heat things back up!

Spent 30 minutes on Kalamari. Improved my time but not enough to advance on the board.

I keep thinking I can beat the train on lap 2. Actually did it once, but my ghost caught me on lap 3 with shrooms. Grr.

Been there buddy, best to try and time the train perfectly. Pimp has an extremely solid time on first place there.

Yea that train caused more problems than those crabs. Even if you get ahead of it on the second lap it will be in your way again later on.

I think you're right. I've been messing around by the cliffs before the tracks on lap 1. Doing that I can beat the train, but I have to burn a shroom on lap 1 to do it. Like you say if you use all 3 on lap one, you run into the train later.

So far my best time is still going full tilt and using all three shrooms after passing the tracks for the last time. Dunno how much better I can get sticking to that strat though.

Prior to today I had no idea you could use a mushroom and save some time at the start of the 3rd lap. Man that makes a difference!

I tell you, this thread has been awesome for me. I really thought I'd never be able to recapture the magic and excitement and challenge I remembered from back in the day. Before this competition it all felt like such a long time ago and a place I'd never be able to go back to.

Because of you guys setting the bar, it's mind blowing for me to even think that I'm better at this game TODAY than I was back when N64 and gaming really was the center of my universe. I don't get to play as much today as I did back then, but when I do, I for a moment get to go to a place where the biggest problem in life is why I can't nail that :cussfit: mini-turbo, or hit that shortcut.

Thanks for challenging me not just to be better, but to have a reason to come back to this game over and over again. I'm super content to keep chasing you guys. =)

Well, the one bit has arrived.
Stupid/funny story behind this, I had ordered what I thought was the right size but I accidentally ordered a 3.8 cartridge bit. :facepalm: So 7 days later I noticed it, and ordered the proper N64 bit. :facepalm:

Unfortunately MK your pictures are x'd out, so I can't tell if this is enough to top your time.

So, I had a dream the other night that there was like a Luigi award and it was for best times on every Luigi track in every Mario Kart.
And there was probably ones for other characters too.

Just thought I'd share that :rofl: :n64:

@PM Not sure about rdools but here's my KD strat I'm using now. I'm sure this will cost me points, but I mostly got this from MarioKart64.com anyway! So it's not THAT secret. Haha.

Lap 1: Just run the track normal wide open.

Lap 2: This usually times me to where I'm just a bit early for the end of the first train. I have varying degrees of success of timing the first crossing without slowing down too much. Then after the second crossing, cut across the sand turbosliding 2 or 3 times, but NO shrooms here.

Lap 3: Turboslide into the sand to the left after the first cactus. Use a single shroom here to boost around the hill next to the cliffs. When the shroom runs out, do a quick turboslide to the right back towards the crossing, then turboslide to the left to get back on the track. After the second crossing I hold a long slide and use my last two shrooms across the sand. Then race back to the finish.

Yep. Sorry been up to my elbows in Jeep the last couple days. Blew the coolant hose and left Mrs. Kart stuck on the side of the road. Now that that's fixed...

Thanks for even running the thread, it's fun, and I don't even have Mario Kart.
