Series Race

What does everyone think about having series race boards? Nice short runs without the need of constant loading screens (and repeating courses) from story mode. Heck, an “All Series Races” board may end up being a better run than story mode anyway. I haven’t delved into them much yet but it seems like it’s 4 races each. How many in total?

This is a test run. 48 races in 12 series took 1h33m35s. In addition, times per course are not displayed, so measurements cannot be taken without cutting out real time or non-races. I agree with the creation of a category, but it is likely to be MISC. We will be on the same track.

Adding up the IGT for 48 tracks every run also does not sound fun. It’s painful enough as it is doing it for 16 tracks for Story. Thank you for your test run.

I think maybe it should be “Series Race” as the category and then 12 sub categories, 1 for each different series race (4 tracks) this way shorter runs would be possible, but this is just my opinion. There can also be one “All Series Race” category, but there would need to be quite a bit of interest to justify so many categories.

The thing I dislike about Story mode is it repeats tracks and doesn’t cover every track in the game, it is pretty silly.

I also think “Time Trial RTA” as a category might be good, completing every Time Trial level back-to-back in an RTA setting to have both real time and IGT.

I think series race should be put to the Individual levels where you can run them master, beginner and depending on the mirror mode mirror too, havent tried that one out yet. it looks to much on the full game leaderboard in my opinion

Time Trial RTA sounds super fun

The only problem is… outside of story mode… what happens when they add new tracks soon? This really complicates things when it comes to any kind of Time Trial RTA category or anything that attempts to do “all tracks.” For now I’m just going to stick to the in-game time trials I think.

I tried again and it was surprisingly fun. Also, it feels comfortable because there is no crystal reduction production and the loading time is short. If courses are added or changed by updates, each version should be categorized. I feel that a category to run all courses is necessary as I can enjoy courses that are not run in the story mode.
