Great point MSM a mixed cars option makes prefect sense. So when u submit the run and it asked what car you used and say you used 3 cars for all 7 races or 8 in the jp verison you would select mixed

So it has come to my realization after several runs of testing and comparing multiple runners times that original mode's time structure should be based on the individual times for the 7 races to create an overall time. Not only will this allow a person to use multiple cars the way the game intends you to play. It also eliminates severe RNG that impairs otherwise great runs. As an example you can run a stage faster than someone else yet be slower overall because your opponent took longer to finish race. This is completely unnecessary and very unfair as you the runner shouldnt have to deal with this. Leaving it the way it is creates so much luck to determine the over all time instead of what should be pure skill. A simple fix is to change the rules to tally up The Times of all 7 races for grand total time. Here are 4 over all times through their 7 stages of 4 different runners Alphanerd 7:28"90 QR Jfred99 7:29"05 QR Btrim 7:33"80 SB Master System Marceau 7:51"55

Timing the runs this way is just completely more sensible and logical and allows a runner to maken skill whats required to get a fast time opposed to an extreme amount of luck with the RNG.

Also I'd like to request 2 categories for original mode one where the runner has to select only 1 car and use just that car for all 7 races. In another original mode category where the runner can use any car it wants throughout the 7 races as you unlocked them from beating rival cars and each race. As using different cars will definitely result in the fastest overall time in original mode.

Also this makes running orginal mode wayyyy more fun.

Amazing run

Amazing run

Sorry I didn't see this till now. Yes feel free to run the game on easy.

I was doing some testing today comparing the Japanese and American version and I don't have a lot to go on at the moment but it does seem as if the Japanese version is a bit easier but regardless great run.

It's harder on emulation anyhow

This run screams TAS! Comments turned off on youtube only video sumbited to speed runs and youtube and a full 2.6 sec faster then my run. Either you got very lucky or this is TAS

Great run

Stage 2 should say 56.61

Honestly the 3 men the game gives should be the amount you get. No extras. And no extra life. Imo to keep it fair with that runs using those standard settings

I'd say no

Great run

Of the runners who have submitted runs how many are ps4? Iam and I know mazin power is as well.

Why don't you just run the ps4 verison then?.

It's not nessessary imo

Iam sorry. Your video was funnt well edited and taught me something . Hope u can understand why we were thought it was impossible. Looking forward to finding the time to try that boost trick out

Credit to Ivan he just beat my time with the original gaming mechanics 431 ish. So well done. I'm sure he was grinding all night. Glad I could motivate him. But i will say GGs on his run as it's proper legit and fast. Well done
