There's some very noticeable differences between the PC and Dreamcast version. For speedrunning the biggest differences are that tapping the boost button on Dreamcast does not reduce the speed at which speed decreases.
This results in skips being much more useful for the Dreamcast version. The skips work in the same manner as for the PC version, you have several seconds before the screens faded to black and places you on last on-track position, so you have to do the skips fast.
For the Dreamcast, being on the Golden paths is practically always better than being on the road, unlike on the PC version (because of the boost tap). So if you're running on Dreamcast, use Golden path routes.
I've only tried it on an emulator so far but the differences are definitely noticeable.
I removed the DreamCast category until we get a runner for it. Just so I don't have to select another console every single time I upload something,
