This is one track I'll need to practice the hell out of. Takes me back to when Double Dash was new, I couldn't for the life of me get through that part with the two successive hairpins, the wall after the second one is just too late. It took so much practice...<br /><br />Anyway, this'd be one of the reasons why I don't really advocate maxing out speed. I'm getting a lot of mileage out of that 4 acceleration and 3.25 handling anyway, reducing these would mean trouble.Slowflakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18090675773915536700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1280492081721752941.post-46428866675262279952014-06-05T14:25:39.023-04:002014-06-05T14:25:39.023-04:00That last turn with the speed boosts on Rainbow Ro...That last turn with the speed boosts on Rainbow Road always gets me. I can't figure out how to make that turn without braking, but CPUs don't seem to have that problem. Maybe it's because I tend to max out my speed.ShadianVisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14781350411603488703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1280492081721752941.post-35494997595660551622014-06-05T12:55:34.076-04:002014-06-05T12:55:34.076-04:00It does visibly startle them, but doesn't seem...It does visibly startle them, but doesn't seem to affect their starting performance. It just seem to be something Nintendo has put in for the lulz. But I guess it is slightly amusing to make all the COMs jump in their seats, especially at the beginning of the first race where you start last and can see every single one of them.The Seeker of All Formulashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06388159182582182996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1280492081721752941.post-80352847620067181332014-06-05T10:25:20.321-04:002014-06-05T10:25:20.321-04:00Speaking of Bone Dry Desert...

I took a day off to cool down after my last attempt, but this time I was able to at least get 1st in the Special Cup, I 3-starred the Lightning Cup, and I also 3-starred the Mushroom Cup in Mirror Mode. For me, it basically just took practice to get used to the speed (which in some cases *coughrainbowroadmk8cough* seems WAY too fast to even make normal turns at full speed), and once I got that down, I was fine. Once you're in first and have a few coins under your belt, all it takes is driving well enough to not mess up and having an item for insurance. The only thing that can screw me up when I'm in that position is a blue shell or multiple reds in a row. Prioritize getting coins early, which means sometimes taking slower routes on the first lap in order to get a few.ShadianVisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14781350411603488703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1280492081721752941.post-91735263622542155862014-06-05T02:06:40.687-04:002014-06-05T02:06:40.687-04:00In regards to the leader board wipe you mentioned,...In regards to the leader board wipe you mentioned, would that completely remove all of your in-game times, or just online.

Something that appears to be clearly a platform actually functions like an underwater pipe current. I sure as hell didn't figure this out on my own either. It's my little brother who told me that might be it. So just for the hell of it, I tried it out and... he was definitely right. Children are so much better at understanding Nintendo logic.<br />The worst part is though... it doesn't have a tell for when it'll settle down, so be careful when you go for it, because it might just suddenly stop and you won't have enough height to reach even the lower platform anymore.The Seeker of All Formulashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06388159182582182996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1280492081721752941.post-79200343253515417632014-06-04T22:09:39.514-04:002014-06-04T22:09:39.514-04:00Cheating Capacity, and I'm not gonna be 3-star...Cheating Capacity, and I'm not gonna be 3-starring even with the criteria. 1-star for me for the Gold part.
