I hope we manage to beat all times on these external sites and then speedrun.com becomes the true WR leaderboard for this game :D Let's go lol

I found this through Google Search, not sure how accurate or real it is, but I would say the times can be trusted. Some runs have image proof, some don't. https://www.video-games-records.com/trackmania-jeu-j2542.html

I recommend these videos by 7Alvin too, might be useful for strats (former WRs, some might be still world records): https://www.youtube.com/user/Alvinmkch/search?query=TrackMania+Wii

Similar videos by Marco: https://www.youtube.com/user/8641Marco/search?query=trackmania+wii

Important: I wish we knew the times from the ingame online leaderboards that are now lost, because the Nintendo WFC servers shut down. I'm pretty sure nobody backed it up. Tough luck I guess, would've been another useful way to compare with our times. Some proofs are still left, but those could also not be the very best times. So take every WR with a grain of salt, because there could've been a better on the now lost online leaderboards.

If you find any other videos, leaderboards, videos and screenshots including online leaderboards, feel free to add it here! Thanks!

I have a dance pad too, would be cool to try, but sadly it's not USB, and I don't have an adapter for it :D

I'm happy that weird control methods like these are possible to set up, and be somewhat playable :D

That reminds me... I always wanted to try TrackMania with the WiiMote... or even the Wii Balance Board lol

So should the PS2 and Wii, as explained by @EBTKSPaddy. No need for new game page, just do everything on here, separate consoles by subcategories.

Thumbs up for new cover art 😁👍

Why does this page have the soviet hammer and sickle for the game logo? What does that have to do with this? I would suggest changing it to something else. Maybe just an upside down game cover as many other category extensions do that as well.

But what if there's differences between English speaking regions?

Thanks for the detailed response.

Some games have different names, f.e. across different regions. How are these cases handled by the site? I wish there was support for all different names. (Only English names, as it's an English site, supporting all languages would be too much right?)

Which is the fastest way to run Wii games? I would guess emulators also have faster loading times, but emulators are not banned.

As I see f.e. USB Loaders and such are not allowed because of this, but most of the time it is not pointed out in each game's rules. And who is checking anyway? There's no noticeable way of detecting if a run was done from disc or using a loader (unless someone is really dedicated in timing the loading screens).

So what's the state on this? What does the Wii speedrunning community know? I would also want to try running some Wii games, so I'm curious before I start.

Thank you.

Well separating DS version is obvious when anyone wants to run that, but what about the differences between Wii and PS2?

I haven't played the PS2 version myself, only the Wii version, so someone who knows better should decide this. As far as I know there are less racers on track in the PS2 version, but more playable characters to choose, and the controls are noticeably different (motion controls vs. standard controller). Also there's one more track in the PS2 version, Skorost. Not sure how this affects the Championships and Classes. We'll have to see. I would definitely make sub categories for Wii and PS2 separately.

Now explain me, why does this simple game need more than these two simple categories? The game is centered around the penalty system. It's either a yes or no for me: all penalties, or no penalties. Why is there a way in the middle? Why focus on running through red lights and skipping stops? (As they are not allowed in your so-called Any%. It's ANY%! Finish the game as fast as possible, no matter what you do basically. This general Any% naming that works with lot of other games, don't work with this game I feel.)

Why further complicate this game with a category extension? What the hell :D This is not a big game that needs two pages on this website.

If you still don't agree with me, give me a time, and I'll talk to you guys on discord, I would maybe even prefer a voicecall. Thanks.

I don't think this game needs a category extension, and further complicating... whatever... This is ruined for me and I can't look at this game as a proper speedrun game anymore... Pretty sad and stupid decisions were and being made here to be honest.

In my opinion, all the game needs is two simple main categories:

With Penalties - Drive as fast as possible with penalties No Penalties - Be as fast as possible with no penalties

My renaming suggestions: Any% -> With Penalties 100% -> No Penalties

I can't get my point through, and I keep getting misunderstood. Is there a better way I could talk to the admins and talk through my ideas? Thanks.

All I'm asking is that for "100%" don't only focus on red lights and no passenger skips. Why are other penalties allowed in ”100%”?
