always move fast
I recently started playing this game again, and i figured that since friendly competition is always fun, i decided to make this topic.  So post you best times for each tracks (or only some of the tracks if you want), and please dont forget to specify what ship you used.

I only tried to do a few of them fast so far, so here are my records, they were all done in the 'Jewel Glider - V2, all are also snaked:


Ruby Cup:

Mute City: Twist Road - 59.483
Casino Palace: Split Oval - 55.316
Sand Ocean: Surface Slide - 1:36.795
Lightning: Loop Cross - 1:50.214
Aeropolis : Multiplex - 2:02.233

AX Cup:

Lightning: Thunder Road - 2:51.486
Mute City: Sonic Oval - 35.693

I was just playing this recently. I should have some times up soon as well.

Note: I can't snake so some times may suck.

oh yeah, that reminds me.

If you do snake, please mention it above your times, its not fair to compare snaked times with nonsnaked times.

I don't snake either, the game is far too easy as it is and i don't want to make it even easier.

If possible, vehicles would be awesome to hear as well.

a friendly notice from a mod: try not to use color so much, as the forum has several drastically different themes anyone can use, and more may be added at any time. if you've taken the three existing themes into consideration, i commend you, but even then the colors may not be compatible with new themes.

i just realized how very little i did with time-trial, I mainly play by beating master with different vehicles.    Here are a few (horrible) times from levels it looks like i attempted at least 3 times.

-I'm pretty sure all of these are done with Moon Spider Z-

Mute City - Twist Road - 1'03'971
Aeropolis - Multiplex - 2'18'125
Big Blue - Drift Highway - 1'13'637 (i absolutely hate that level) - rolling turtle (O_o)
Aeropolis - Dragon Slope - 2'56'072
Outer Space - 1'41'669
Lightning - Thunder Road - 3'28'045

I might play a bit more this weekend to get some higher times and on different levels, now that i have times to beat it'll be easier to do time trials.

Dragon Slope is the course i know i have spent the most time with.  I love that place.  Same with Lightning - Thunder Road

For the friendly mod  :P : I just double checked all the colors on all 3 themes, and only 1 color was hard to see on the other 2 (i use smartDark FYI), and they all show up just fine on this one. One quick color change and it'll e all good  8)

I spent awhile getting non-snaking scores for the ruby cup. Two of them even beat the staff ghosts. The + or - after them is how i did compared to the staff ghost.

Ruby Cup - Car: Acro Cannon - G4
Mute City: Twist Road - 1:02.051 (24.947, 18.801, 18.303), 1801 - 100% speed  +2.087
Casino Palace: Split Oval - 59.813 (23.438, 18.275, 18.100), 1918 - 100% speed  +3.122
Sand Ocean: Surface Slide - 1:54.652 (42.173, 35.365, 37.144), 1784 - 100% speed  -2.091
Lightning: Loop Cross - 1:55.519 (42.911, 36.482, 36.126), 1786 - 100% speed  -4.388

I (finally) have access to the Acro Cannon G4. Been working on Hard and Very Hard Story missions all afternoon. Finished all on Hard, and have up to chapter 3 done on Very Hard - After attempting chapter 4 "I lost count" tries and playing my thumb and middle finger on my right hand raw I decided to give it up for the night and try again tomorrow...ow...that stings...  Crying or Very sad

Ooh, a t... what? Snaking?? Are you sick?!?


Well... I can't bothered to start my GC now at 5 in the morning, but... let's just say I have eight more staff ghosts to beat, then I've done everything there is to do in the game (besides document every single interview answer). And I've never snaked.

Ready and willing.
What's wrong with Snaking? He's pretty harmless, and he's so cute too... see?





...What? We aren't talking about the newest Pokemon? Oh. Carry on then.

I've never used it before because it's a little too hard for me to pull off.

I honestly dont think anything is wrong with snaking, i think it makes the game more fun. I do agree that there should be seperate lists for snaking and non-snaking though.

All right, I've been working on chapter 7 on Very Hard difficulty for about 6 houts now and still ain't no closer to winning that race. Anyone wanna toss some tips my way?

And don't tell me to make sure to kill Black Shadow at the start. Killing him seems to make everyone else 100x more aggresive (which = defcon 5 x100 based on how they are), and also seems to instantly give me a 50% chance to fall off the track on the corner with the ice zone. Not to mention I seem to have more luck keeping up with 1st when he's alive, since he's almost never in 1st anyway. It's usually Blood Falcon or Dr. Stewart.

i got very lucky on that one, black bull and blood falcon killed each other or something, so it wasn't too bad.  The only thing i remember is on  the second to final lap, just before you cross the start line, check to see what mines are left so you can get a boost from them in the last lap.

That'd work if there were usually any left...or if I wasn't busy trying to pick pieces of my machine out of the guard rails and the CPU machines. They seriously redefined the term "aggression" in this one  Evil or Very Mad

Anyone notice how viciously hard story mode was?
Dragondarch
2004-08-23 09:31:33 pm
Only certain chapters were hard...some were pathetically easy...

Chapter 1: Easy on Normal, Difficult on Hard, and Insane on Very Hard
Chapter 2: Moderate on Normal, Slightly Difficult on Hard, and Difficult on Hard
Chapter 3: Moderate on Normal, Difficult on Hard, Very Difficult on Very Hard
Chapter 4: Moderate on Normal, Moderate on Hard, Moderate on Very Hard but requires some extreme luck
Chapter 5: Moderate on Normal, Difficult on Hard, Beyond Insane on Very Hard
Chapter 6: Easy on Normal, Slightly Moderate on Hard, Moderate on Very Hard
Chapter 7: Difficult on Normal, Insane on Hard, "Whoever came up with the idea for this chapter needs to be dragged into the street and shot" on Very Hard
Chapter 8: Moderate on Normal, Moderate on Hard, Slightly Difficult on Very Hard
Chapter 9: Moderate on Normal, Moderate on Hard, Slightly Difficult on Very Hard

It was more like this for me:

1) "wtf this game is simple" on normal, hard on hard, very difficult, but not too annoying on very hard
2) easy on normal and hard, kinda hard on very hard
3) "wow this game is impossible" on normal, difficult on hard, simple on very hard  (dont ask)
4) hard on normal and hard, insane on very hard
5) easy on normal and hard, "im gonna shoot someone" on very hard
6) not too bad
7) "im gonna shoot someone" on normal and hard, *really does go and shoot someone* on very hard
8 ) insane on normal, super insane on hard, not too bad on very hard (again, dont ask)
9) (see number 7)

(all on normal)

Ch1: Easy
Ch2: Easy
Ch3: Moderate
Ch4: Hard
Ch5: Easy
Ch6: Easy-Moderate
Ch7: Hard
Ch8: Moderate
Ch9: Moderate

Meh... the only truly hard ones were the challenge of the bloody chain and the Grand Prix.

Hard = 1 hour
Moderate = 30-45 minutes
Easy = 20 minutes

That's about right.
