Thumb is on fire tonight! (In a good way, not a painful way! ) Just got a 1'42"28 on luigis!! More to come I think, I'm in the zone! ![]() Edit: Nope "the zone" ran out before I could get the top spot on Luigis! Aw well, next time maybe. ![]() Over to you rdools. I hate to think what kind of times you're going to get with those extra boosts down the straight! On Moo Moo it's super forgiving because of the wide track and banked curbs, on Luigi's not so much!

First go at playing Koopa Troopa beach, way off the times! I'm a little confused by what exactly is meant by the shortcut vs non shortcut thing? This track is chock full of "shortcuts" Is it just the tunnel after the ramp? Or does no shortcut also exclude the sand spit near the tunnel entrance and the left path at the beginning? |

The only shortcut is the tunnel after the ramp, everything else is fair game for non shortcut. Enjoy the crabs! |

That 1.42 is very close from there! Nice -- Hmm, not a fan of no shortcut KoopaTroopa beach. Shortcut version is fun though. Did about 25 attempts tonight and got this 1'26"90 with fairly big bonk after the left path shortcut on lap two. I'm coming after another Pimp time! ![]() Edited by LinusHofmann, Mar 14 2016, 07:03 PM.

And then I'll have to deal with a Swiss God... This particular one uses metal thumbsticks, and is one that I thought wouldn't be a problem since we were both new. You might know him. EDITED: Because I thought he was Swedish. Silly me.

Yes, I've heard of him, and his Swiss brother ......he also has a bit of an obsessive streak when it comes to improving things...might have been a warning sign! Haha

Oh yeah, his Swiss brother... Sorry, my bad. I think I'm going to go for a less heated track. I already found one that'll be easy enough to nudge out... If a Swiss God doesn't see it.

I'm back obsessing over Moo Moo again, gotta get it far enough out of reach to keep it a while! So i'm having far too much fun to try any other tracks at the moment! ![]() Actually I've only played like 3 tracks so far so I don't really know what is in store further down in the list. |

Leaderboard update coming tonight. If the recent submissions actually change the points that is. I need to see where I can cash in a point or two here in the next couple hours. EDIT: This is as good as I could do tonight. Was so close. Then phone rang. Lost my groove.

Leaderboard Update 1st (+0).... 45 (-2) ----- No64DD 2nd (+0)... 44 (-1) ----- rdools 3rd (+0).... 32 (-3) ----- Pimpin Mainer 4th (+0)..... 31 (+2) --- kartmaster 5th (+0)..... 05 (+0) ----- Cabanon 5th (+1)..... 05 (+4) ---- LinusHofmann 7th (-1)..... 01 (+0) ---- Meader New Users: None Users Falling Out of Points: None Most 1st Place Times: rdools (13) Most Top 3 Finishes: Pimpin Mainer (21) Biggest Movers: LinusHofmann (+4 pts) Most Times Submitted: LinusHofmann (3) Flavor of the Week: Luigi Raceway Well, well. An active week. Especially for Luigi's Raceway! Lots of jockeying for position going on! 1st, 2nd and 3rd place are separated by literally less time than it takes the human eye to blink. LinusHofmann continues his solid entrance into the competition jumping straight to the top of Moo Moo Farm. That's strong. No64DD just barely holds on to 1st place this week, and kartmaster is now only one point behind Pimpin Mainer for 3rd place. There's some real solid racing going on here.

I hate you all... couldn't you have left me in first place? First Meader shows up, beat him. Then No64DD and I had a truce. Then rdools shows up to ruin my fun and reactivate No64DD. Now I got Linus and his darn Moo Moo time, and kartmaster keeps picking away at my points. I think I need to start racing again... p.s. no hate

@Pimpin Bring it, foo! I woke up still upset about my Frappe Snowland time. Dang it I was in the zone and so close to first. Grr! Didn't want to quit but I was an hour past my bedtime. Feeling it today. |

Moo Moo just requires faith in the Mole Goddess. My strats are as follows: 1. Say a prayer to aforementioned goddess. 2. Boost slide your way to that last corner as fast as possible. 3. Go full on YOLO through the moles and hope for the best! ![]() 4. Repeat 3 times See my replay for guide on how to do the YOLO bit, haha

Is the next showdown scheduled for Frappe Snowland? Looks like I need to wrap up warm for the weekend ahead! Edit: Haven't had much time to play but at least got a time on the board for frappe. I think I can see a 1'46 happening once I get consistent at that hill shortcut.

Man, Wario Stadium is so grueling. I get on lap three and always get nervous and start thinking too much.![]() And I still haven't found No64DD's secret on this track. It's my luck that it's to slalom through the porcupine minefield. I dunno if I'm that ambitious yet. ![]() Also spend about 20 minutes on Moo Moo farm, but man, the moles infuriate me. I screw up enough on my own that I don't need to be randomly blown up as well! I had a bit better odds trying to boost bounce off the wall going through the mole field, but I could never put 3 clean laps together. Some other time, maybe. |

Short sesh tonight with marginal improvements, won't bother cluttering with too many images. I'll be back with some better times on these I'm sure. KoopaTroopa SC down to 1'26'73, and another small improvement on Frappe to 1'48"30 meh |

A few more times to post, then LEADERBOARD UPDATE! This is a shortcut time. I made a few small mistakes, but going to have to figure out how I can make this faster. ![]() Another shortcut time. 1998 kartmaster is still faster than 2016 kartmaster on this one... ![]() No points for this one, but I at least have my name back on the track. ![]() Leaderboard Update 1st (+0).... 44 (-1) ----- No64DD 2nd (+0)... 43 (-1) ----- rdools 3rd (+1).... 36 (+5) ---- kartmaster 4th (-1)..... 29 (-3) ----- Pimpin Mainer 5th (+0)..... 05 (+0) ---- Cabanon 5th (+0)..... 05 (+0) ---- LinusHofmann 7th (+0)..... 01 (+0) ---- Meader New Users: None Users Falling Out of Points: None Most 1st Place Times: rdools (13) Most Top 3 Finishes: kartmaster (22) Biggest Movers: kartmaster (+5 pts) Most Times Submitted: kartmaster (5) Haters Gonna Hate Hate Hate Award: Pimpin Mainer Shake It Off Award: Pimpin Mainer Well after a busy week last week, things were pretty quiet this week. A bit of a flurry of activity on Frappe Snowland (pun absolutely intended. But no moves on that track. Outside that I just spent some time improving some of my weaker times. I feel like I'm topping out, but knowing that No64DD and rdools have laid down some blistering times keeps me motivated. Definitely spending a lot more time on each track to improve my time now, but that's how these things seem to go. So. Once thumbs have healed. Once thumbsticks have cooled. Will Pimpin' be back to reclaim his spot? Will rdools net two points to retake the lead? Will anyone figure out how LinusHofmann was able to dodge all those moles? Really. REALLY.

Dedicating the rest of the day to MK64. Watch out times! ![]() First decent time of the night on a new track. Almost nabbed 3rd on Choco Mountain with a 1'43"12 Think there's room for improvement here once I get a bit more comfy on this track. ![]() I like this track, nothing blows you up and falling boulders are basically decoration, nice! Edit: Joining rdools in the 1.46s on Frappe! ![]() ![]() Editerino 2: Boom! 1'41"93. Finally 1st on Luigis! ![]() Urgh, I fought hard for this one. Getting 1.42 after 1.42 tonight and just never quite getting everything together perfectly...Right thumb was about to give in and then I finally got it. Yeah Edited by LinusHofmann, Mar 24 2016, 04:06 PM.
