Been testing some other racers out, obviously Stone is the best when you don't use enhancements, but since we use enhancements for WRs I thought Wild Ride's speed and maneuverability would be better than Stone, and it turns out that was correct. However, with enhancements Harris actually seems to be the fastest. Her weight, maneuverability, and speed with enhancements are the perfect balance for courses with choppy waves. I've gotten times 2-3 seconds lower than my best time, I'll just have to bust out my capture card at some point and record it.
It brings up an interesting question, what other racers might be better with the enhancements than previously thought on certain courses. I tested Harris out on Ice Crusher and she wasn't quicker, but maybe the other two ice courses might have some improvements, particularly Snow Blind?
Hi! I'm MrSoy, I've gotten a few records already. I imagine the game isn't run very often, but I grew up playing it and thought it'd be fun to get some records. If there are any other active or semiactive players I'd love to connect. I appreciate RaGeNyC for verifying my times so quickly, and you and Nightbarrel have set a good standard for WRs in this community already. Is there a discord or something? If not, and you're a runner reading this and also want to connect feel free to respond to this thread and I'll make a discord for active runners if that's okay.
Hi! I have an idea for a new category extension, that me and a few other runners are interested in. (I've run it myself a few times already). Basically you talk to all the toads in the game, collect all their stars, and then proceed to do bowser in the sky. You need 35 stars to spawn tippy toad so it leads to some fun routing. No blj bans or anything obviously. What do I need to do to get this category added?
So I have been practicing the game for a couple months now, I grew up with it and love it, and recorded my first couple 120 star speedruns (just timed it casually for myself). I used a couple of tricks but nothing crazy yet. What time should I be shooting for as a beginner in the 120 star category? My best time so far is 3 hr 25 minutes...
