hi ! i've only been learning and speedrunning this game for a couple months, and recently i started learning how to use the gamecube controller for more consistent soft-drifting and pauseless motion glider.

i run 96-tracks for the purpose of improving my lines. i saw that the rules allow for auto acceleration and smart-steering, however, they don't mention motion glider, so i thought to ask here : if i do a run with the gamecube controller using motion glider, would i be able to submit it ?

further more, is the gamecube controller soft-drift calibration allowed ? it's not using any hardware modifications, just using the way the gamecube controller calibrates the left stick upon plugging in to make the notches fall into the soft drifting area, but seems like enough of a gray area to where i thought to check

thank you !

Hi! i recently picked up the game to route and attempt 100% runs (still pending approval as of the writing of this), and it's been a lot of fun!

i have noticed a few peculiarities, though, and the one that i'm posting about here is that a few parts in the store don't seem to have a Gamma variant.

You unlock parts in the store after speaking with the girl in the middle of the main lobby after certain criteria has been met (my current hypothesis is reaching an even-number level up to level 10 and winning a tournament), and she appears 5 times total with her last dialogue talking about a poster in the shop promoting new parts, which unlocks the Gamma version of a handful of powerful parts.

What is interesting, however, is that 4 parts never get a Gamma variant at all. The ones I've noticed are Spike Dragon (Attack Ring), Magne Weight Disk, NEO Left Spin Gear NMV, and Custom Grip Base. i have several save files over level 70 where all these parts only reach Beta as their highest variant.

i wanted to ask if anyone has unlocked the Gamma versions of these parts, and if so, if they even remember how they got them? It mostly seems suspicious that they form almost a full Beyblade, and that's what has me wondering if the run i did is actually 100% or if there is some secret out there that negates it. It is really difficult to find any sort of in-depth information on this game's unlocks and I've had to manually investigate and write a ton of notes on these subjects.

Anyways, looking forward to continue researching this game! i played it a ton as a kid, and speedrunning it is a ton of fun!
