United StatesI'm going to assume that it didn't show "Mercy Rule", which ends the game if you are ahead by 5 points at the end of the bottom of the 1st.
So I did some checking in, and here is some of the things we've gather. This applies to Frisbee Golf, Power Cruising, and Skydiving.
Frisbee Golf- Classic B course may end up being faster. Alaska might be better to show this, personally when I did my run I sucked up hole 2, but it seems to be faster all around.
Power Cruising- I have video proof (uploading right now, so I will link it in the morning) of getting sub 50s on Marina and Cavern. This something you could not do (that we know of) in Beach, thus saving 5-7 seconds.
Cavern-
Marina-
Skydiving- During one of Alaska's streams, Randommo suggested something about skipping Glen (That's her name right?) for Skydiving. When I attempt this, it saved me a few seconds on Skydiving.
I personally did a lot of calculations, taking in consideration the perfect run, and I got about a 16:30. This didn't include our new knowledge of Classic B on Frisbee Golf, Randonmo's skydiving suggestion, and included my old times on 50.17 on Marina for Power Cruising.
I'll continue to check these out and more during my runs. For those who are new, I hope you aiming for sub 20. Alaska did a great job showing some key strats to help you with that.
Thanks for the resources! From just the information there, sub 18 is possible for the category. Just between the top on the leader board and Bandow or I, there is about 18 seconds to save.
All Sports states that "finish a course of Power Cruising".
I was on the individual cycling level idea when this came to me, so I tested it out and now I know we can save some time if we do other courses other than Beach.
In about an hour of just going through the courses, these were the times I got. I started timing when I pressed A before the course began to when I crossed the finish line.
Beach- 54.78 (WR has 56.08) Cove- 59.96 Light House- 57.91 Marina- 50.17 Cavern- 50.87 Shoals- 50.15
The only thing that has to be noted is in Shoals and Lighthouse, I was so far ahead of the score points that I didn't trigger the finish line. But that was one out of probably 6-10 attempts each, just depending on where I cut through and passed score points.
I also would note that this would probably put Power Cruising sooner in the run in my opinion, because if you don't cut through fast enough, it respawns you and basically kills the run.
My suggestion is to switch to Marina, it is a little bit safer than Shoals, but Shoals or Cavern may end up being faster.
If we want to explore this more, a category for it may prove to be useful.
This is something I said in my most recent All Sports run. The Cycling All Stages category is pretty dead. And I think Bandow would agree that were it is now, it's going to be really hard to attempt to beat the WR right now. What if we had individual runs based on the in-game timer? If we are focusing on each individual stage for a bit, maybe we will be able to bring down the All Stage category.
Kind of a comparison to show you how close it is right now.
Stage 1 Bandow- 2:24.95 Cmdr- 2:24.81
Stage 2: Alaskaxp2 (Taken from his 17:52 WR run)- 2:03.43 Bandow- 2:02.00 Cmdr- 2:02.90
Stage 3- Bandow- 2:11.55 Cmdr- 2:12.28
Stage 4- Bandow- 2:37.86 Cmdr- 2:38.11
Stage 5- Bandow- 2:53.58 Cmdr- 2:54.53
Stage 6- Bandow- 3:06.86 Cmdr- 3:06.61
Personally I think this would be doable and rather fun. It always was hard to explain to people why certain categories were left off the list (such as say, Frisbee Dog, the big one people asked). It could simply be either "All Categories" or "All Sports+" or whatever naming wise.
This would be a great challenge in my opinion. Hopefully someone can get this to be a thing.
I've been playing a lot of Wii Sport Resort recently, and have a records of my own, if you still need someone.
