SwedenDuring my time with this game as a kid, I used to find a lot of cuts that can save some time. A lot of them are just minor seconds but there is also a very big one.
Northern Valley
Dusk Valley (Weekend race only!)
Moors
Highlander Road
Bamboo Forest
That is all the cuts I found out in the game, if I missed any I will do another post about them. They might save seconds but they are worth it. Especially Shipyards, which saves minutes. Try them out in a speedrun!!
I do not have the game and never played it (would love to play it) but I think I might have found something. Look at these stages, they might be broken down quickly. Satonda Island's and Mount Kenya's start and finish lines are right behind each other!!! Try it out!!!!
How is this for an idea? On all the levels you have to complete them by tripping all the alarms even the Paris tutorial level, you are not allowed to turn the alarms off. What do you guys say? This would fit as a category extension.
I have some ideas for some new categories
Rally % - doable through Championship, Custom Championship and Custom Rally
Extreme cars - doing the championship with extreme cars. Only possible on Custom Championship because normal championship locks them out
Reverse championship - do the championship in reverse, only possible on Custom Championship
Lets add ILs
When you start the stage, hold X in the loading screen instead of spamming it. Hold it all the way you are about to rev up your car.
When you do an IL and fail something and wanna restart. You can press restart and do over. But the problem is that the start will not be as smooth as you 1st time load in the stage. There will be a delay when you launch the car. Simply just press return back to track and then you press select again and choose restart. Not only will you get a smooth start your car will restart back to start with a few centimeters ahead from the starting line. But this will cost your replay and the ghost car inputs as it will confuse the game.
Here are some skips of some stages. One big part one like showcase and some Super Special Stages skips that are so OP. Part 2 on novice skips will come into the future and for professional stages will come when I have time to record.
Before you enjoy the show, most of the skips I did here are from my childhood and some of them are from 2020. I did not have the ability to record them until this year. So finally I can show them of in the most flexible way. Sorry for the wait, but here they are now. Enjoy.
P.S. Why is there no ILs?
We should make a new run for Arcade. Arcade Class C, a run with the two races that did not get an own arcade championship? Starts 1st with Kenya and ends with UK.
I am proposing a Speedrun.com logo for N, but I want it to flash yellow like the main menu alternatives. But here it is
I have another theory, what if there is a way to just walk with Sly on help Murray missions. On Murrays Big Gable there is a ladder, what if you can press Cercle in a split second when Sly jumps or press Triangle to dive as soon Sly lands?
What if you can skip Sly's and Clockwerks conversation before the 2nd heat?What if there is a way to kill Sly right slightly after the final blow in the 1st heat before 2nd heat and skip the conversation. Would it be faster to redo the 1st heat and do the 2nd heat without the conversation? This is just a theory.
Hello! Veteran player of this game. I saw that this game had been speedran before and I saw that there is two main categories. But I have gotten an idea and would like to give a tip, 100% category.
I have played some Sly3 today and made some testings and I have a theory. I think, this is my theory, it is faster to shake palm trees then just make him chase you
