It was fun coming back to play this one, I hadn't touched it in probably 10 years but it is and always has been my favorite racing game. It was refreshing to see that my Rainbow Roads skills were still there, and I somehow got my best time drunk off my ass on champagne. I did have to put a bunch of time into Vanilla Lake 2 as I was never any good at that track and my original score was in the 58 second range.

I really wanted to get a Ghost Valley time in the 1:02 range but could never get the shortcut jump for the full race (got 4 laps once but failed on the 5th...fuck).

I might continue working on some of these times, I'd like to at least break all those Twin Galaxy "records". What I like about this game is I don't need huge blocks of uninterrupted time to play it since I don't have much free time these days.
Now that the contest is over, mind showing us how you were able to make that jump?

I'd also like to see how you guys dipped into the 55 and lower on VL2.  Very impressive stuff!

 

It has to be done at full speed with a boost frame perfect. 

Like I said, my score is what a normal person can hope to achieve at super mario kart with practice. You 3 in the top 3, but especially miles and pegboy know the tricks.

I knew pegboy made the ghost valley jump the second I saw his score. Its impossible to get that time without it. Im thinking maybe I can get to 55 on Vanilla lake. Would take a flawless run of not accidently barely hopping the water and losing a millisecond of speed. Once I got 59 I knew I could do a tad better and got the 57 and just called it quits. ]]> SNES Monthly Contest: April - Super Mario Kart http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=161102 2016-05-02T15:31:30 -05.00 Brock Landers 103
The Vanilla Lake time is more just a matter of figuring out a good path and executing it without hitting any obstacles or slowing down. Also not easy, but easier than the Ghost Valley jump IMO. ]]> SNES Monthly Contest: April - Super Mario Kart http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=161102 2016-05-02T15:17:27 -05.00 Brock Landers 103 SNES Monthly Contest: April - Super Mario Kart http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=161102 2016-05-02T14:52:30 -05.00 Brock Landers 103 Originally posted by: pegboy

Yeah I think the point structure should be awarded something like first = 10, second = 6, third = 3, 4th = 2, everyone else = 1 or something to that effect.  This would create more competition, as is now there is basically no incentive to get a high place since you still get a shit ton of points for 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc.  Oh well, not like I will actually be playing for an overall win anyway.

A first or second place win should be worth significanty more than a 5th place or whatever, but now it's not.

 
Whatever, sandbagger!

 
Seriously... bunch of fuckin' sandbaggers around here lol
