In the continuity of my previous post in Advanced, I took a swing at Beginner.
This was a lot tougher, since the previous record felt way more optimised here, took me an hour to get a finished run. "Got that rear bumper!" from all the cars I tried to get slipstream out of, they viciously wanna block you way more than on Advanced.
This was played on Retroarch with Beetle Saturn core, Arcade mode, using digital controls and Manual transmission, on VERY HARD timer & NORMAL AI cars.
There's room for improvement, as I had a run with better pacing (the last turn started with 20 seconds on the counter as opposed to 19 in my finished run), which sadly ended with my car wanting to "touch grass" on the very last turn. Bummer.
This is without the pitstop trick. Apparently also you can bump the wall and not lose speed? No idea how to trigger it consistently.
Hello! A small update.
The Saturn leaderboards has been split between PAL and NTSC-U/NTSC-J/PAL60.
This was made a bit in haste (and with loopy me past midnight) so let me know if I missed something or should alter this split.
Post-sleep edit: It's now a basic PAL vs. NTSC split for Saturn, m
