that won't save any time, because in 8-1, if you slow down even the slightest bit, you will lose the framerule. Doing FPG would just negate the framerule that you lose by slowing down that little bit in the set up. Nice find though.
I prefer keyboard over anything. I've tried Xbox controller, but it's really hard to do backward jumps with the giant d-pad.
I was looking around this leaderboard, and also on Speed Demos Archive, and noticed that the SDA run is a 2:38:01 done by 0xwas, which destroys the World Record, and his Personal Best. I'm wondering what the difference between the power on timing we have here and what the SDA timing is, because there's only like a minute between player control and power on.
Could we have a '284 Tracks' category for all of the Mario Kart games? It could be a race kind of like the '602 Stars' for all the Super Mario games, where it would be an SRL race but only for Mario Kart.
- SMK: All 20 tracks
- MK64: All 16 tracks
- MKSC: All 40 tracks
- MKDD: All 16 tracks
- MKDS: All 32 tracks
- MKW: All 32 tracks
- MK7: All 32 tracks
- MK8: All 48 tracks
- MK8D: All 48 tracks
Rules:
- All games must be played in order
- You must use items for all games
- You may use skips for all games
- You may use any character/vehicle combination
- Time starts at the normal start time for SMK, and ends at the normal end time for MK8D
- You may take a maximum of 1 hour in between games
I really hope this gets put into consideration, as I'm sure multiple people would join the race.
Maybe we can have an IL Leaderboard, but no one submits runs unless it is better than the best time already on. Basically a new IL WR Leaderboard.
