that's a multiplier placed on the second starting pad, as in the place where 3 other riders would start in a 6-person race. I don't know this for sure, but I think that in 2-player mode, player 2 will start the event on that other starting pad. so, that 2x is placed there so that each player in a 2-player showoff event has an equal start. I'm fairly certain you could use one of those prewind glitches to reach it with a single player (see tokyo megaplex no fan glitch showoff for what I mean by the prewind glitch.)

@@janek7955 crashing means you pulled too far back! keep in mind. the amount you pull back or to the side will be different depending on the angle of the surface you're about to slide on, so it's hard to give precise advice. as a general rule, just remember that wipeout means too far back, and "off limits" or landing normally on your board either means not far back enough or not far enough to the side.

@ cheers man!

almost to the day

@@crazytechguy5735 for non-TAS race, I think Garibaldi or Merqury City for TAS race, Untracked for non-TAS showoff, Mesablanca with Aloha Ice Jam not far behind for TAS showoff, Elysium Alps if you just want my favorites, I really like casually riding Merqury and Untracked!

@@kelecat7094 Good Choice, man.

@@crazytechguy5735 Kele doesn't like it cause it's two buttons on GC! it's just easier for their brain to process the single buttons during the making of a TAS. importantly, it requires both hands on a shoulder button (imagine L2+R2 square). it's also equal in points and (roughly) duration to Scooter, the R2 + square one

@KrisVickers-wn6dd Credits are accessible in the main menu, under the "Options" submenu you get to Options with Y on Gamecube, and it's similarly easy on the other versions since reaching the credits doesn't involve truly PLAYING the game, we made the "All Mountain" section of the Transport menu our end screen for speedruns like this

can't believe there's two thousand of them .

@kelecat7094 no fuckimg way

Ess ess sex*

haters will say it's fake

@justeunfrancais I'm using Dolphin Emulator. it includes a feature which lets you increase the resolution - my "upscaling" is set to 1440p nowadays. naturally, you need a strong system to support playing at such a resolution

wtf that's kinda cool but what or why either way i hope it was a nice combo

I want a list too, I'm about to break 2.7m and I know it's not a record but I still want to be on a leaderboard 😂

@Lkymn watch the bar labeled "2" on the right. there's a strange "accessory weight" mechanic that will prevent you from stacking too many things at once. if the bar turns red, there's too much "weight", and you need to remove some accessories (turntable, disc player, etc) to make room for the goggles + headphones. some accessories simply clash with one another so that adding one will replace the other. even so, goggles/headphones shouldn't do that. I've never really known what purpose it serves to limit the accessories like that, and it's not clear what it is that adds to weight or where the limit is. it also never seems to dip below "half-full," so it's even more confusing.

@@kelecat7094 That is really weird. Thanks for the info!

basically, multipliers suck in this game, and that's all we know, sometimes they're forgiving and sometimes the dead center of them just dont work

@AzellaGardens you can hit any "prop" type object from rocks to signs as long as your impact is soft enough! you'll have extra tolerance for the impact if you hit it with your board first, and you can bounce higher if the tail or nose of your board make the impact. what's more, if you hit the object too rapidly (think several tiny bounces in a row), you'll get reset by the game. it's a tight balance you have to hit, which is why these bounces are generally reserved for these special showcase runs!

@@EchoMacahig-q9b I play that using GC

yea, it's unlocked from master ranking iirc tricky owes a lot to this game, so i respect it heaps... no matter how much the jank makes me want to rip my hair out

@@kelecat7094 Untracked is unlocked by earning a gold medal in both Aloha Ice Jam (Race) and Pipedream (Showoff) in World Circuit

@teguh.hofstee my favorite is always a tossup between tricky and 3... right now, I would say 3. first game: laying the groundwork for the series, fun to speedrun once you learn how to work around some of the engine's silliness, great music tricky: vastly more refined version of the first, ubertricks, attitude, character interactions & voice lines, good music (also my introduction to the series) 3: the SSX formula at its best, a continuous mountain, extremely appealing snow visuals, and lots of subtle ways to improve your riding (movement tech, I guess?), and great music on tour: sense of speed, good music blur: the fact that i've never played it xddd 2012: completely unique take on the franchise and realistic mountains (the bottomless pits that come from this kind of ruin it, but this approach to track design is one of the biggest reasons 2012 is so unique)

@@kelecat7094 I’ve started playing tricky for the first time after putting probably hundreds if not thousands of hours into 3 (and the first game) as a kid and seeing how packed merqury city meltdown is with shortcuts and easter eggs, as well as a lot of the tighter execution shortcuts in elysium alps and aloha ice jam, has really stuck out to me as something I feel like those games did in a way that I didn’t feel as obviously in 3. I still really love 3 for the continuous mountain and the career mode that made me feel like I was really a part of the mountain instead of something more like an arcade cabinet.
