Arkansas, USAYep definitely have to save shrooms on KD to avoid the train cycles
Honestly probably better off just getting better at the driving so that the train won't be in your way. For now just gotta sit and wait a couple seconds for it to pass by :) I guess when people get a bit better is the very last train that's in the way and you definitely don't want to try to drive under that one on the far side of the track so you just gotta wait it out.
Yoshi Valley doesn't have a fence on the edge of the track there so I guess that was the original reason lol But really all of the "non-shortcut" routes were determined almost right after the game's release by the time trial community so that's just how it's been ever since
Probably wouldn't do this just because it likely wouldn't get much activity. If it was done then emu and VC would probably be banned which would prevent a lot of the crowd that would want to submit to that kind of category from submitting anyways so it ends up being kinda pointless =/
What do you mean timings? Like you want to know if it's faster than N64 or something? It's definitely faster.. it has basically no lag and even with the slow resets it's gonna be faster. Wouldn't be as fast as VC though. That being said it's pretty irrelevant considering the main competition is all N64 similar to SM64.
The more official forums for MK64 players
Just watch the first minute of the skips and no skips world records and you'll see the difference pretty quickly lol
guess people around the discord know.. but I figured I should post this here http://beckabney.com/nr/
Reason we have it for the full game and not the single cups is just because of the amount of players really. We'd have a bunch of blank VC/Emu leaderboards for single cups. So it just seems a bit excessive. For a long time we didn't even have the single cups at all but they're just there now so that we can at least keep track of the WRs (which VC and emu would be irrelevant for in this case)
Tie for 1st here not showing as a tie https://www.speedrun.com/Nicktoons_Racing_GBA/Race_Madness#Time_Trial_1_lap1
https://discord.gg/0T7oGr0RrwPLEc2O Mostly time trial people but yeah
Yeah the MK64 site is all time trials and the full game GP mode stuff is here :) Livesplit I actually just hit a key on my keyboard.. just hit it at the right time I guess
Individual tracks (time trials) are here: http://www.mariokart64.com/ Guess we don't really have any premade splits but you can probably search on http://splits.io to get some.
Really the top players for this game are always time trial players.. but if you don't want to grind time trials it's probably easier to get the driving down first with some no skips. If you want to do skips too though you could work on both or maybe wait until you've at least got a 41 in no skips so you've got some sort of semi-decent driving down at least (if you don't already :D).
The idea behind 100% was just the simple rules of essentially unlocking everything. I get that some people like no skips, but for 100% it might be a bit of a stretch for such a long category even if you could get 5-10 people to do a run of it. I'm thinking maybe just adding it as a variable under the current 100% category.. to where if you do both skips and no skips 100% runs, you skips one would show (assuming it's faster), but you could use the filters to show only no skips runs.
