At this rate, I won't need to get any points with Linus knocking away at No64DD's (and everyone else's) times |

Haha, yeah. Not to mention stealing points from that rdools guy.... ...oh... Edit: Here's a replay of my Luigi's time for those who are interested. No stealing of top secret strats though! ![]() That dirt touch on the very first corner....urgh, it's painful watching replays back sometimes... Luigi's Raceway 1'41"93 Edit: Toad's Turnpike 2'37"25. Gimme those 3 points Ok this one was too easy! fifth attempt at the track ![]() Edited by LinusHofmann, Mar 24 2016, 05:43 PM.

Hah ya, that toads turn pike was one that I beat after a couple attempts and no one has touched it, I would have said it was likely the easiest one to beat |

Funny you say that. I've been trying since I got MK! But I will say... kartmaster, a record of yours may go soon.

I too wonder where Bam has been honing his skills in private For me Luigi's raceway is really hard work, feels like it has to be really optimized to get below 1.42. I also think I get kinda slow and lazy if just playing on the other tracks. Returning to Luigi's occasionally during a session gives my thumb a good wake-up call and let's me improve on the other tracks right after. |

@LH Yeah, that's the beauty of this game. Optimized is a great word to describe it. Even the simplest track has layers of technical nuance buried deep within. You'd look at that track like, "It has to be the easiest track to pull off a perfect lap." But that's so far from reality! Haha. |

Yup, and the turbo slide mechanic is so nicely balanced that it's not just about jamming in as many as you can. Going all slide crazy is rarely helpful, usually a few perfectly time/angled slides works out way faster than twice as many sloppy ones. |

Do you have a date in mind for the next leaderboard update? Might be good to have a deadline for us(me) to race to, otherwise I tend to get my times just after you've done an update

Woo, 1st on Frappe! First time in a week I've been able to play. Anyway, had to do a bit of derusting but then finally started getting the hang of those hill jumps and got a 1'46 flat. I made a huge mistake on the third lap, missing the start of a boost after the jump and riding up the wall on the right. Urgh. Anyway still pretty pleased with the time after not playing for while, took about 4 hours to get. ![]() |

Nice, nabbed 1st on Choco Mnt with a 1'42"07. This is a tricky little track, deceptively technical! ![]() Edited by LinusHofmann, Apr 9 2016, 07:50 PM.

Darn, was trying to make it +9 points in 3 days, Koopa Troopa beach SC wouldn't have it though. The RDools is too strong on this one Koopa Troop SC in 1'25"87, still got 3rd from Pimpin ![]() ![]() I don't think I'm using my mushrooms optimally here yet or optimizing the tides on the back straight. Also need to get better at hitting that tunnel while priming a turbo, still losing a lot of good attempts to that wall. I've got my eye on Mario Raceway next, that looks like a tightly contested time! Fun game! |

Was trying to complete the Flower Cup sweep tonight before the competition wakes up! Didn't go so well... I clearly need to get to better grips with bunny hopping across the grass, still pretty far off the top time here. Mario Raceway 1'18"58

Leaderboard Update 1st (+0).... 42 (-2) ----- No64DD 2nd (+1)... 35 (-1) ----- kartmaster 3rd (-1)..... 34 (-10) ----- rdools 4th (+0)..... 33 (+4) ---- Pimpin Mainer 5th (+0)..... 16 (+11) --- LinusHofmann 6th (-1)...... 05 (+0) ---- Cabanon 7th (+0)..... 01 (+0) ---- Meader New Users: None Users Falling Out of Points: None Most 1st Place Times: No64DD (9) Most Top 3 Finishes: kartmaster (20) Biggest Movers: LinusHofmann (+11 pts) Most Times Submitted: LinusHofmann (6) "Was it something I said?" Award: rdools I appreciate everyone's patience in waiting for this update. The home life has been disrupted recently with my mother-in-law fighting cancer. She's moved in with us and we're all adjusting. Not an excuse, just... well okay. An excuse! What a shake up! This is pretty incredible, with first through 4th separated by only 9 points. Everybody is at risk of sacrificing points with LinusHofmann topping charts on 4 tracks this round. Unfortunately rdools came under fire. But with the times getting so close, a small improvement in an old time can now mean big points! Of course shaving that tenth of a second off a track is often easier said than done. |

Awesome thanks for doing the update! I think you missed my 3rd place time on Koopa Troopa SC but I'm hoping to improve that soon so no matter. |

Oh Jeeze, that's quite the drop. Not sure how I fell right off the rainbow road top 5. But wow, close leader board. Should probably figure out those short cuts, that seems to be key |

No64DD, hopefully this will tempt you back for a few more turns around Mario Raceway? Finally got 3 clean laps and scraped a 1'16"94 for 1st on Mario Raceway. Worked quite hard to get this one so I'm very happy with it ![]() ![]() Can I hold onto the 1st position sweep on the flower cup before the next times update? Haha, somehow I doubt it. -- Grabbing another 1st place with a 1'38"53 on Koopa Troopa Beach N-SC after a fair bit of aggravating crab dodging action ![]() ![]() -- Wanted to give wario stadium a try tonight, but man I HATE this track in non-shortcut mode. So I'll likely only submit a time in shortcut mode, the boring layout, endless jumps and overall length is pure torture! ![]() Switched to Sherbert Land instead and had a much better time dodging penguins ![]() I suspect this was another rather weak time since I nearly beat the top time here before realizing I hadn't even been using my mushrooms! After a few more attempts with the shrooms I got a 1'43"79. ![]() Edited by LinusHofmann, Apr 18 2016, 04:29 PM.
