Thanks, pretty happy with the run! The sub feels very much within reach for sure, but I'll take this for now. I'm happy to show up in your recommended feed. Double Dash is pretty sick for sure, easily my favorite Mario Kart.

Thanks! Really wanna get sub 5, it's definitely within reach.

@@Vikingja you're welcome mate! That will be so cool to sub 5seconds!! It will be awesome when you do it🏆

Oh yeah, definitely a banger console. If you have a Wii, with Gamecube ports, you could use that to play Gamecube games tho. Emulators are also a thing, but I'll always go for console if I have the chance (like here).

@@Vikingja oh yeah i normally use my wii u for wii but i could set up my old one for gamecube cause i just dont like emulation

Team console!

That would be cool

Thanks pal!

Let's go champ!

Thanks!

Thanks! Of course you can speedrun it, if you want of course. Every journey starts somewhere, yours could be right around the corner.

Didn't get the time I wanted here, so I'm not done here. For Melee ILs are actually the most competitive for speedruns. When it comes to full categories I've done All-Star (both visually and blindfolded), Adventure Mode and Target Test, All Events is something I might do in the future, but I don't really have an interest in doing it if I'm gonna be 100% honest. Got some WRs for ILs tho.

😃

Couldn't have done it without you

OH yeah! Felt so incredibly good to get a Norwegian Record here again!

That's still a great achievement, there you actually have to do everything in 1 go. Time trialing is so much more focusing on 1 run/track at the time, and it's so much more open for resets. This run happened after 4 hours of only driving here (and of course playing the game for many many hours before that). If you do something you felt like is great, don't let someone take that away from you. speedrunning is all about self improvement.

Speeddrive is a fun term, but it doesn't really roll of the tongue as nice. But the franchise is a great speed game for sure.

Drifting on this track is so hard because of the cars, especially lap 1 and 3. Really happy with it!

Thanks

Thanks

Thanks! This is a track I've struggled with pretty hard. There are always a car in the way making it hard to drift smoothly. Extremely happy with how it turned out here, has taken a lot of practice.

Yeah! This run was soo nice, really happy to get it!

Thanks!

Thanks pal!

Happy to hear you enjoyed it! Really happy with the run (much happier than it sounded).

@@Vikingja @Vikingja yes Vikingja

Thanks! Definitely improvable, but damn, it's not the most interesting track (far from it imo).

Thanks, pretty happy with it! Lap 1 and 4 should have been 0.1 ish sec faster tho.

Felt good getting it

That would be awesome!

Yeah, even lower as well. I'm just struggling to stay consistent here... I'll beat it for sure tho!

@@Vikingja with more practice it will be beaten for sure, keep it up

Thanks! Felt pretty good to get.

@@Vikingja well done!!🏆😎👍🏻

Gotta use my boy Yoshi. Since this is max here I've tried to challenge myself to see what more I can do. So on Manic Mallets on Mario Party 5 (with a controller plugged inn, so it's only me), I've been able to get a score of 204 on NTSC and 198 on PAL.

Thanks!

Thanks!

So much more is definitely within reach for both flap and 3lap, it''s just so hard to get everything in one run. The sub should be relatively easy with 2 shrooms, probably gonna take a while to get tho. Sub 1 would be a damn cool milestone tho, so I should get in that.

@@Vikingja for sure, piecing together a whole run on RR is definitely tough. I look forward to when you can get the sub 1 and improve on the 3lap!

I'm not good enough to do it without a mushroom. Also, imo that lap is harder so I wanna get it done as soon as I can.

Thanks!

@@Vikingja you're welcome!!

Thanks! I have soo much more potential here, should be able to lower it by a sec. Problem with the track is how difficult it is to be consistent here.

Thanks! That last lap blew my mind, I've never been close to something like that, even with 2 shrooms. Really happy with the run. Seeing the last lap being a sec faster than 2nd lap really makes me believe in a lot more here.

@@Vikingja great stuff, will be good to see what you can do here and with other PRs too!!!🏆

Seems like I gotta get that yeah. Never had anything close to a lap like that tho, so it's probably gonna be a little tricky. Just need 1 clean run with 2 shrooms.

@@Vikingja You can definitively get it, the track has so many tiny optimizations that add up at the end, and of course a second mushroom would save around "3 or "4, I think.

Thanks!

Best case scenario is 9 - x - y - 9. So it's always a 1 in 7 for any number (except the last 2 hammers, guess you could say they are on a cooldown). That's why you always wanna throw out at least 2 hammers after the first 9. There are 2 exceptions to this tho. A new game or a reset on a speedrun can have 2 in a row, and if we take event match 10, you can get 2 9's in a row from one character to another.

Double Dash has a nice learning curve if you decide to go in for it, so I'm sure you could be able to get something juicy.

@@Vikingja I tried again but i can't get that one instance of sub 2. I simply am not as good as the rest of you, plus I can't input as fast. Only time I get close is when I play my friends in Smash Melee and even then, I just get cramps in my hands trying to do what you guys do

I see I see, most important thing is having fun with the games. Feel like both Melee and Double Dash can be tough for your hands, they're both so technical.

@@Vikingja they are, but regardless, I do have fun. Though I find it easier to Do Acid Z-Air Drops into Ledge canceled moves than to play Double Dash at consistent levels.. maybe that could be the time spent in each game too.. oh well. Love Mario Kart runs like this

Thanks! I'm definitely no expert on the algorithm, but I'm glad it brought you in.

What he said!

I sure is, just gotta play cleaner for it. This is not one of my stronger tracks, so it's take some time before I will get it down there.

Thanks!

The nice thing having the ghost ahead of you is that you have something to chase, of course it also means you're slower than you should. It's really nice to push yourself to be fast tho.

@@Vikingja That's a great way of looking at it! Insane time by the way you killed it!

Thanks! Definitely think it's important to have a mindset like that, think it would drive me insane to always reset when I get behind.

That first one is annoying man

Thanks my fellow Norwegian!

I definitely don't get my goal every time. My goal is usually something I feel like is within reach, beating some fellow Norwegians or getting a new standard. Sometimes I can only get a tiny improvement, but I've been going on for so long and I'm like "I'll take it". The reason the difference between the goal and the PB was so tiny was because I had been going on for so long and just barely couldn't clutch it last time here. But I'm happy to hear that it's fun to watch, and I'll do my best to keep it up. Oh btw, the next one that'll get up doesn't beat the goal, but is still a nice improvement over the old one.

Thanks!

Thanks! A lot of fun putting it together. Getting the runs here wasn't always the most fun tho, such a tedious grind.

@@Vikingja i feel that speed running can be very tedious indeed buuuut its worth it

Definitely worth it! Super happy that I've gotten it!
