Ooh tied for second! Bit busy with building sticks atm so probably won't be able to improve on any of these times for a bit. Must remember to schedule in a few critical "stick testing" time slots!

I'm back for a spot of weekend karting! Gimme dem points! 1st on Kalamari Desert 1'50"37 ![]() This is a weird track, with what I'm currently doing if I go any faster I have to slow down to make it past the train on the last lap. Was at least a few tenths faster on a couple attempts by that point but not fast enough to beat the front of the train. I think I need to study the timetrial strats for this track a bit more or get a whole LOT faster with this approach...hmm not sure. Edit: Hmm, was hoping to reclaim the Bowser Castle top time, but spent 2 solid hours bouncing around this track and nothing. Couldn't even match my previous best Edit: First try at a real shortcut time with Wario Stadium SC. Took some time to get the hang of the jump back over the wall but now I can taste that sub 30s time ![]() I'll be back trying to get three clean jumps though, it's quite fun to grind out. YES! 22"78 Can't believe that last jump completed! Such a rush ![]() And a video of the replay ![]() Wario Stadium 22"78 SC replay -- Beach time. I'm still not entirely sure what the fastest strat is on the home straight. But managed to scrape enough time to just retake the lead from Pimps very solid time here. Koopa Troopa Beach (No Shortcut) 1'38"22 ![]() Also had a decently long session on the shortcut time but man you guys are too fast for me here. Made 0.5 second improvement on my old time and still 1/100th off the second place time. Koopa Troopa Beach (Shortcut) 1'25"35 ![]() Edit: Last one for tonight, dodging dem spikey balls on Yoshi Valley (Non-Shortcut) for a 1'50"06 ![]() -- Edit: Sucked it up and went the long way round on Wario Stadium. Got a 3'52"98 after about an hour. ![]() -- Final Edit for a while: Man, this level and No64DD's crazy good time...I'm dead! Took 3 hours to get that extra tenth, the 1'56 feels so close yet I just couldn't string three good laps together. A whomp always decided to make a nuisance of itself. Bowser's Castle 1'57"14 ![]() Terrible first lap, kicking myself when I saw the sloppiness that lost me that half second in the replay! - Itching for a leaderboard update now Edited by LinusHofmann, May 16 2016, 07:25 PM.

Wow, nicely done. No idea where to find that time on Yoshi's, must learn the track better. I finally broke through my mental block on Bowser's Castle, slightly aided by testing a new rubber cap ![]() Managed to scrap 0.15s off and just barely make it into the 1'56. Bowser's Castle 1'56"99

You guys suck... I can't compete at all. I work 16-20 hour days and I have like 3 minutes to check this site and No6DD and Linus are breaking too many records. LET ME WIN!!! lol jk, nice times all around. I just got picked up for another season of North Woods Law literally the day after I wrap on this feature film so the Pimpin storm might take a while to roll in... but it will roll in. |

Argh! Shortcut times...my one weakness exposed! If I were sensible I'd probably spend my time learning how to do shortcuts on some of these tracks, but instead I've been desperately trying to get that Mario Raceway time back, got two 1'16"75 times in a row but the extra couple tenths elude me still! This track is hard work! Edit: Yeah that was the best I could manage tonight Mario Raceway NSC 1'16"75. On failed runs I started going for the shortcut and managed a couple successful attempts ending with a Mario Raceway SC 1'11"06. ![]() Speaking of hard work, that bloody castle will be the end of me. But I just can't seem to get enough of the punishment.. All night I've just been scraping a few hundreths off a time that I know I can cut by a lot, if only things would go smoothly and I didn't mess up so much... Finally I got a 1'56"76 ![]() A pretty spectacular first lap saved an otherwise mediocre ending. Edited by LinusHofmann, May 18 2016, 08:07 PM.

I uploaded a video of my wario stadium shortcut time. It's linked above. I could record more replays if there's an interest. I would personally like to see how methods and techniques vary between players myself. The wr vids on YouTube tend to be depressingly amazing so not that useful to a beginner. |

How does the saving of replays/ghosts work btw, like how many can fit on an official 256k memory card? |

Yeah, this weather has been harshing my buzz over here in Missouri and we've managed to skirt most of the tornadic stuff. I feel for ya, kartmaster. Stay safe. We just had our 5 year anniversary of the May 22, 2011 tornado here in Joplin and I'm just glad we didn't have any sort of curtain call. |

Oh we are all safe here. There's a lot of wide open space here and the odds of getting hit by a tornado are really pretty miniscule. It's more the fact that anytime there's a tornado or severe thunderstorm in a 70 mile radius, I have to be at work, so just long days. Excuses over! Back on topic now! I'd love to see some videos, or even live streams of any of you guys. Even if it's off screen. I think watching PAUSE, DOWN, A over and over again is something I could really relate to. Ha ha. |

That's how I prefer to think of this hiatus. I literally can't believe some of these times that I'm typing in. That Wario Stadium SC time from LinusHofmann.... woah! No64DD protecting his top spot on Yoshi's Valley... incredible! And the fierce battle at Bower's Castle... enthralling! It's been a fact for a while now, but we can officially recognize a new leader atop the board! LinusHofmann!!! Custom sticks or not, you absolutely have to respect the times that he's turning out. Totally, smokin'! It can only be explained by skill, and hours and hours of determination. Exciting to think that we are now getting to the point where some of our members here may seriously someday contest for a Mario Kart 64 World Record! Should that day come, I will be as giddy as a pig in slop! |
