Dr. Robotnik's Ring Racers IS PEAK.

[@agabrield]

22:52 Fun fact: Your invincibility gets extended the more racers you hit but won't get extended if you keep hitting the same racer The game rewards you for being mean and i love it

[@pretzelboi64]

Too bad everyone bitches about "mogi" in multiplayer. Can't even throw a banana peel without hurting someone's feelings

[@DobieMeltfire]

Fun tip: 1. You can replace the 2D sprites with 3D models in the option menu 2. There is a mod called Ring Escape which adds a new gameplay mechanic, allowing you to spend 10 rings to tech out of hits from items and other track hazards.

[@Tielesiti]

re: reaching the Chaos Emerald, you just have to have 425 total points by the time you finish the last race of a grand prix. this is affected by lots of things: rings, yes, but also your final placement, how well you did per race, how many continues you've used, and how many Prison Eggs you broke during Prison Break stages. once you reach the special stage itself, it doesn't matter how many times you lose a life; either you get the emerald and escape, burn all of your lives and leave empty-handed, or give up early (from the pause menu) to preserve your rank without the emerald

[@marcuso7350]

Doesn't the continues used bonus/penalty only affect cup rank? I have dumped all my live once before and i still reached the special stage when i shouldnt thanks to the point drain, i got the emerald but my rank tanked because of it, i also used a lot of lives on the special stage after playing perfecttly the grand prix and my rank tanked to B solely by the continue penalty

[@Tielesiti]

@@marcuso7350 if you lost a majority of those lives during the special stage itself, it doesn't matter, since you're already in the special stage. you start with +50 points while not using any continues and lose 25 points every time you continue after losing a life. this can go into the negatives if you lose more than two lives, which absolutely can determine whether you reach the special stage or not

[@Mizu_Melon]

16:59 Fun fact, any excess rings that you get from ring boxes will be used automatically, so you don't have to hold down the spend ring button. It wasn't mentioned in the game's tutorial, but I remember I saw it happen and I was like "wait that's really cool"

[@picoultimate7707]

I'm glad there was some good sediment here about the game, and even with the rough launch, I grew to really love this game with the MASSIVE amounts of content and secrets. Yes, I may've used passwords, but believe me when I say it felt really satisfying uncovering some of these secrets on my own. For the Sealed Star levels/Special Stages, they're unlocked by getting at least 425 points in a cup (the equivalent to an A rank, meaning you need to win plenty of races, perfect one Prison Egg level and at least hit one capsule in the other), or if you're tackling a cup on the harder MASTER difficulty, you only need to be in 1st place by the cup's end.

[@Kitanvail]

Great video, I really enjoy your breakdowns of these fangames

[@OlmiOP]

I never thought I'd hear someone defend Smash Tour, much less in a Ring Racers video of all things, but very interesting to see! That whole point about mods is something I never really thought about. Whenever I play, mods just added a couple new courses and playable characters. Gameplay tweaks were always minor or non existent, but random servers could definitely increase the chaos factor to a point that could get unenjoyable very quickly. Ring racers frontloads all its mechanics (to a fault, I'd say, since it drives people away) but once you get the hang of it, it feels so clean and satisfying, and you don't have to learn more chaotic stuff I don't mind the less sonic-core aspect of it personally, some of the modded characters do look really nice on their own, but I do understand your point on that Overall, great video, happy I stumbled upon it :)

[@sergiomendoza251]

Agreed,especially for the mods about mechanics.

[@HyperTriple]

I’m glad you mentioned the uniqueness of the roster! I personally play Azusa, and the large amount of unlockables always gives me something to do!

[@tnt3203]

Honestly, i really like this game but i use passwords because i don't want to unlock too much content, i only want to play some races. When i play the game for first time i was tinking something like "this is cool but it feel so strange it feel....diferent" And that is part of the charmy of this game the controls, the physis, the mechanics everything feels really diferent to every game that i play in my entery life. Is like a kart racers with Sonic Elements and a heavy inspiration in Knuckles Chaotix in the ring system, the physis the way that the ramps works the "Momentum" Everything is the game is special and now there is more singleplayer content and that its cool. PD: I don't speak English PD2: I like this game more than SRB2K PD3: That thing of vanilla and modded servers is really cool i like use some characters mods (like the scrapnick island characters) and the super mario kart tracks

[@1Hol1Tiger]

They're using the Chad Robotnik name over the virgin Eggman

[@Diabeetus88]

I appreciate every criticism here, it's so strange to watch people dunk on this game for having more effort put into it for some reason. The one L take in this is that Modding is bad for the game, I think it's good for the health and lifespan, as well as the fact that Online is separated between vanilla and Modded, allowing to quickly get into fun vanilla lobbies. I think theres enough content here that there will be less prevalence of modded stuff than there was with srb2k. Edit: missed the last couple minutes before commenting, disregard my final criticism

[@pinguin4898]

try playing with stereo mode more often, it ignores the invincibility items and the like

[@sugasnaps]

13:21 I would pay money to watch a compilation of this actually. that sounds hilarious

[@K-C-D-A]

I get the appeal, but I've ALWAYS been the type to "borrow" the save data of a friend for Kirby's Air Ride and Smash, before actually playing it. Just a big barrier to entry, especially when you don't want to (or don't think you'd want to) spend 300 hours unlocking everything.

[@ArcadeStriker]

The devs actually have prepared something for that, which was not mentioned on the video but was provided since 2.1: The game contains a passwords file that has both a temporal "unlock all stuff" for Tournaments (I've used it when playing outside of my PC) and permanent passwords for specific types of unlocks (chars, colors, maps) As someone that has been loving to unlock *most* stuff in the game (I've keyed a handful of challenges lol), those passwords were hella handy when, again, at one point I had to play outside of my own PC and wanted to jump online or practice in Master diff with Vectorman.

[@K-C-D-A]

@@ArcadeStriker The video did briefly mention a tournament version with everything unlocked, and competitors being surprised about new mechanics (because they skipped the tutorial.) But it was only mentioned once.

[@jakedastenjako]

I'm still bamboozled about some people being mad at how complex this game is and how you can't just un lock everything by default like huh??? Has your ass played a GAME before? Are you THAT lazy?? I swear, one day literally all my progress got corrupted for no reason but the game is so good I didn't even get MAD about me losing all my progress, but instead intrigued on what things I could unlock now that I didn't know to unlock before. Absolutely NO game has made me so interesed in LOSING PROGRESS. People really be hating just because their fragile, feeble mind refuses to compute because of how nutrient deprived their thought process is because they don't eat and stay all day on their tinker machines making people's day miserable. Anyways all I could say I would want from this game is a gameplay tweak where you can go into ring debt and actually get a boost from using it, because a risk and reward ring system sounds interesting, while you keep using those missing rings, your engine deteriorates more until you explode, only being fully repaires if you get a certain amount of rings. This was a pretty nice video, you explained how the game and player experience is going so far magnificently, exactly how I would have explained it lmao. Hope you make more bangers like this in the future.

[@sergiomendoza251]

Interesting facts

[@jbbajangamer]

At launch I was more thinking the "complexity" was pretty shallow (I still think it somewhat is tbh- boost items are crazy powerful). Game's stull fun tho

[@Sandino-dx6lh]

I like unlocking chars and stuff but imagine starting the game without time attack, addons and online play (you only had 1 color too), and having to play the 40 minute tutorial. I know they improved it in the later versions but at launch it felt like the devs did not believe in their game, that they were insecure about it.

SRB2Kart can be played offline with splitscreen multiplayer, but if you are alone, you can only play Time Attack, drive in free play alone, or seek for mods for ways to play alone (SPB Attack, Daytona Karr, that player bots mod), but from the get go it doesn't include any bots for single player.

Wow. Bashing people for having different opinions. If they don't like Dr. Eggman's Ring Racers, that's fine. If they like it, that's also fine. Also you have to understand that people are getting sick and tired of forced tutorials after they constantly keep appearing in modern games. Of course I do the tutorials to learn how the game works, but there are other people who just want to jump in. Back then, tutorials were optional with them showing up on the main menu. Sorry Spacey, but bashing gamers isn't cool. I disagree on removing mod support. That sounds like a really bad idea.

[@000adrianelpiola000]

Yeah, i hate the opinions about this game 2 days after the game's release. "Oh gosh it is sooo hard, it has a lot of gimmicks that makes the game so hard, god i hate the infinite amount of unlockables" etc. Damn, the game industry fucked the entire gamers, now the unlockables are a bad thing? I waited for this game so long, and i don't want to beat it in 2 hours. I really love it the tutorial, every minute, and when i played the online at the 3rd day of the release, everyone gets fucked a lot by the trick system, wavedash, roullete, the shortcut barrier and a lot of things. I love this game, it is by far my favourite game.
