Hey, Id be keen to run a mini golf speedrun of this game. If you could add it thanks.
Im assuming by the rules, youve got to finish all 18 holes. Why, what happened?
Did you stroke out? Is that what you mean? Because then technically that should still count as finishing the hole. @Bregermann what happens then?
I think holeing out is fine for the leaderboard mostly because A) you still finish the run and B) it is slower and doesnt provide any advantage and C) makes it more accessible What are your guys' thoughts?
what system are people playing on? I'm playing the PAL version on a PS2 slim and managed a -17 round in 12:19. Not sure where you could make up two and a half minutes! There wasn't much hesitation and I only lost time on hole 12. Do you think load times and/or fps could be hindering getting a good time? What are your thoughts?
Yeah Dab Im on Pal PS2 slim 90k and thats what I got my PB on. My time is pretty optimal for the hardware and region. Just run with what you have and go for a good time you're happy with. Try also follow strats that we all use and find what works for you. WR is completely out of reach without J version.
Cool thanks for responding Craigelbagel001. Managed to get my time down to a sub 11min with a terrible 18th and some accidental hole in ones. Think I can get down to around 10min 30s with some more practice.
What's the difference with the J version?
that's it? Just the celebration animation? Seems mad that you can make up a minute and a half that way! That's about 3 seconds per hole. I'm kinda surprised that the WR has so many Hole in Ones considering the long replay on some of them - wouldn't it be quicker to get close and then tap in? That's how all the other runs appear to be done
its hard to say whether a hole in one is faster than getting close and tapping it in. Because sometimes a fast ball hole in one is faster than a ball slowing down and coming to a stop. There are certainly holes where a hole in one is faster, like hole 5 or 8 iirc. Hole 1 who knows. Its just about how fast the hole in one is if you get it.
it's hard to say but easy to measure. It depends on the hole really. Managed to get a 10:14 with the only error being hole 5 by completely missing the cup and 2ft radius! Only cost a few secs which was made up with a great hole 8 and some timeshaving using the 100ft putter instead of the 30ft in many cases
Just want to say hello, new runner to HSG 1 and would love to see Speedrun categories for INDIVIDUAL courses if possible (not just 5 course)
Actually thats a good idea @Bregermann
It would be a great way to log progress as we practice for 5 course!
anybody gonna try this? What are the rules on tee position and shot mode?
@dab88 Five course does not have a set tee position but I would say back tee. That way maximum challenge is in effect. I mean I’m pretty sure we have all the characters unlocked (I am still missing two as I’m trying to beat them naturally) but that doesn’t mean that Buzz or Daryl can’t do it for me or Susan.
JUST SET A 10:05:10 on MiniGolf! (good for 2nd) Video will be uploaded shortly! I'm coming for you Michael! LOL :D
