Wii Sports is a heavily competed game. Getting 1.0 is one thing, but the true advantage is the Wii U. Loads and lag are reduced compared to original Wii.

32GB is the fastest. 32GB > 8GB > Wii. Japanese is the cheapest. You can buy a Japanese Wii U and make a gaijin Mii. This will change everything, including Wii games. If you prefer Japanese, you won't have to. You can change the game to Wii Mode, but don't. Just get used to the higher speed of the Wii U. Unless you want to change from HD to SD, you won't need the GamePad if the Wii U is used and you are only using it for physical Wii games. Using a Wii U in Wii runs should be as common as PS2s in PS1 games. Go for it!

Club is my favorite Wii Sports game, and the least popular. How can you become a competitor?

First, Wii Us can have their regions changed with Accounts. You can get a Japanese Wii U (the cheapest) and put a gaijin Mii on it (unless you don't want to and prefer Japanese). Digital is faster and cheaper. Get 2 Wii Remote Pluses and a GamePad Charger that plugs into the Wii U. 32GB is faster than 8GB and slightly more expensive. No particular region is faster. No particular color is faster. No particular year (2012-2016) is faster.

What's all the talk about 1.0 about? What's the advantage?

Now that that’s done, can someone beat my N64 PB? Should be a no brainer for the pros.

Here's my 100% run. I would really like to see someone beat it. I thought it would be good if the ILs are getting too optimized. Even has variety.

Some enemies have a chance of dropping rare items that aren’t worth using, but are worth selling to buy a Refresh or two, greatly lowering the level needed to beat the boss. Not the most reliable strategy, but essential for peak optimization.

There will occasionally be tough enemies to pass through in the game. They will typically guard the next part of the level or a shop or inn. You can pass through them to reach later sections so you can grind on the more lucrative enemies faster.

Here’s how you do it: you rotate left or right, then rotate back to face the enemy. After going back to facing forward, press up and 1 on the controller. You will run straight through the powerful enemy and won’t need to beat it for the time being. Is frame perfect but with low urgency.

If that's the case, there can be separate categories for different versions. No problem- plenty of other speed games do it.

Little known fact about the game- although special boards (like the rocket) can't save times in time trials, they can get coins.

Here is the new route. It gets the rocket much earlier.

Get two time trial coins to unlock Level 2 Boards

Beat all Slaloms and use Slalom boards in Match Races afterwards

After you unlock the Rocket, use it to collect the remaining 16 coins. This will save minutes. And you won't lose anything from doing Slaloms with the Level 2 Board since you need to do lots of turning anyway. In fact, during playtesting a new 100% route, I wasn't just getting trophies with the Level 2, I was getting them faster. They are also faster than Level 1 Boards.

Everything else is as usual- just do time trials later and with the rocket board.

Are the Time Trial improvements running low? Here’s a new challenge: 100%. Penguin board, all 3 characters, and all 29 Tricks in Training turned from white to red.

Here’s the route: Start the time when you confirm Erasing All Data. Begin by going to Training. Do all 24 Tricks (utilizing the glitch) to unlock the Penguin Board within the first couple minutes. Use it to plow through Match Race. Now use the Gold Boarder to do one Time Attack of Deadly Fall and then clear each Trick Attack 3 times. There is a method to easily score enough points: Do a spin and a trick shortly after to snap you back. A few of those, and you can rush to the end. After that, 3 Contests. You will not need to do any tricks here, as Crystal Lake is enough to score the 10,000 points. You do still need to complete all 5 though. After that, do the five remaining Panda Tricks and stop the time when Quitting back to the main menu.

Okay, one win condition is good. Thanks for putting in all 32 though. When I’m back from vacation, I’m going to play English Military Madness which I have now and SMASH the records with faster movement.

Request a game and provide a sample run. Use one of mine.

Oh yeah! Do you think you could get the leaderboard set up?

Important to note that in NN, you can turn the animations off to save time, just like in Fire Emblem.

If you're wondering how to run Neo Nectaris, I heard you can download the game onto a flashcart and play it that way. You can also pirate it since it's on a CD-ROM. To play it legit, you should get a copy (it's usually around $50) and play it on a Duo.

All the unofficial not-a-run times, you can feel free to delete when they're beaten.

These are the next ones.

Map 3: Dollar 10:00 Raoh Retro

Map 4: Peseta 6:32 Raoh Retro

Map 5: Forint 14:19 Raoh Retro

Map 6: Escudo 17:42 Raoh Retro

Feel free to correct me if you find faster ones!

Map 1: Shekel 6:24 Nathan Post

Map 2: Rupiah 5:33 Nathan Post

I will keep finding these. See if you can find them too.

There needs to be a leaderboard for the game's sequel, Neo Nectaris, on the PCECD. I will put together the fastest times for each map in this thread.

If it isn't a WR, and wasn't an attempt at a run (doesn't have a listed time), don't bother putting it up.

The ones that are playthroughs but not runs will be easy to beat.
