Mario Kart Octathlon

You can choose any category (Skips, No skips, No Items), You just have to beat every track on the fastest difficulty. Info: All Cups for Double Dash is optional, but DLC tracks/Bonus tracks are required. Just so if anyone wants to start it :)

I was planning on doing this type of run sometime when I got 2 more of the games. Do you think we might be able to have a sub category for DLC and no DLC? I was planning on just doing all cups/32 tracks

ok to sub categoriew fwm and you can choose which but it's more consistent to do deluxe, unless your are consistent at firehopping.

Is that really a problem? I mean sure, firehopping isn't the most easy thing but to make a seperate categorie of it? can't you just like in Mario Kart: Super Circuit that you used MK8D or MK8 (Mario Kart: Super Circuit asks if ZZMT is used). I think this gives a more organized overview instead of making a sub-categorie.

Still I like this idea a lot, so I would like to help you if this is starting to take off.

Oké, I just read in one of the sticky threads that someone has to peform the run and set the rules. So if we want this to take off, we should do a run. I can do a run, however, i'm not able to record this, since I do not own a capture card for my consoles nor for the 3DS. I would give the honour to someone else to do the first run.

Whoever it does, I wish you the very best of luck in the first Mario Kart Octathlon :)

no seperate category you can do mk8 or mk8 deluxe original saves 2 minutes, but is hard to do so.

I actually run both games, and you can see how much difference there is between each game.

I do not own MK8D so I cannot experience the differences myself. However, I think that MK8 is a tiny little bit more rewarding since you had to work really hard for saving 2 minutes.

Hey Hey, I'm preparing a setup to do a Mario Kart Octathlon, so there will be a run in about a month (after holiday started).

Make a Multiple Mario Kart Games leaderboard and put it on that. If you really want it on here, do a run (with video) and either upload it to YouTube or highlight it on Twitch.

Oke Almost everything ready, the only thing left is a way to record. It has been proven dat my phone isn't made for such a long run. Nevertheless I expect to have the run by the end of next week (July 23rd). I hope that you're all ready!!!

tell me when you are live! i am hyped for this run!

I have to apologize. After putting much efford in this, it didn't work out. I did a run, I tried to record the run but all I got after 6 hours 45 minutes and 45 seconds is just a blanc screen. I tested, I did a pre-run to look if all the games we're working and I took the day off. And still I have to disappoint you for not being able to give you today's run. I've splits. I can show the splits. Here's is the link: https://splits.io/1lzj . I'm truly sorry I cannot make my promise true. I will try again in the future, I don't know when. All I can say for now is that I'm truly sorry.

Sidenote: This was a Nitro tracks no skips speedrun, Skips in MKDD such as the waluigi skips and bowser skips were not done during this run

British Columbia, Canada

this is cool, how do we add a game to speedrun.com

British Columbia, Canada

ok, i requested it to speedrun.com, It may take as long as 14 days before this happens.

Did something happen? I ¤may¤ do it this saturday, depending if I get MK7 to run on a Emulator (don't have any Handheld CCs) However, I wouldn't run MK8 because it's basically the same as MK8D. I would run with Skips (or Shortcuts), normal Item settings and normal CPU. I'll tell you if and when I actually do it.

Switzerland

I tested it a bit now and the 3DS Emulator always crashes on MK7 Rainbow Road, am I still allowed to do a run and just add like 3min to the counter or am I not allowed to do a run then? It would be the only track in all games that doesn't work...

Gelderland, Netherlands

What happend was that I did a run, but the footage I only got a blanc screen. Why it happend is still unknown. But I really like that you are trying to do a run. I’m not sure that adding 3 min. To your counter is still a valid run but see that after you did the run. I wish you the best of luck

I was planning on doing this a while back and might look into it again, my main problem is I would be emulating SMK and MKSC, then there is the problem of recording DS and MK&, which my solution was to just point my webcam towards it for that part of the run, haha

Switzerland

A small update: I got huge problems with SMK, i'm definitely not doing it this saturday, maybe later.

@DarQ_Massacres I would emulate SMK and MKSC as well, even MKDS and MK7. However, I would actually emulate the Wii VC version of SMK if that's possible because I noticed that the SNES Emulator got a lot of problems with it.
