Honestly, you deserve 250K! Your videos are amazing! I just beat Velo on Roo's Tubes and now I'm half a second away from the dev time, I couldn't have beaten Velo without you! Keep up the good work, you are the most helpful CTR channel out there!

[@mycoolvsgame]

NGL I've been raging a lot on Hot Air Skyway. There are times that I lose my flames, hit walls on the spiral and sometimes the shortcut or even fall off the track. I know what I'm doing I just need to be careful on it. This track is just difficult, after beating Cortex Castle like a week ago I found it easier than Hot Air Skyway. I'm glad I came back re-watching your video again.

[@noa_yamatori]

Having to race against William P.? *Forget about it!*

[@ShadwSonic]

Now I remember... This was the frustration that led me to research U-turns back with Velo, and for the most part this was the strategy I had used. That doesn't mean my Velo victory was close to defeating William P. though.

[@babbisp1]

I'm impressed you beat Oxide's times without already knowing u-turns

[@nullvoid5532]

I used drift but your tips on the spiral and the other sections help me get the win after some time. Your Drive Thru-Danger video also got me the win. Now all I need to do is beat Turbo Track and I get the Master Wheels!.

[@Lox4013]

Additional info: this isn't a William P. track on the level of Crash Cove or megamix mania. I beat him while not cutting the track at the S-section after the finish line on lap 2 and 3 when you have the USF, and I also lost it briefly after spiral right before the USF turbo pad. You can actually gain quite a hefty amount of time on this track because William is a bit sloppy with the corner cutting.

[@01sidiropoulos]

Plus 1 to everyone who likes hot air skyway.. Definitely my favorite😉 Give a couple more seconds to the music at the end👌🏼

[@CosmicStardust2025]

A little thing, when I did this, all I had trouble was the spiral most of all plus I had managed to learn to U-Turn tighter in the leap of faith shortcut. Cause in this case, its more of experience on managing to know when to time it and know where you go behind the clouds

[@zefcypher]

Your videos are so well made :D

[@Megumi_Bandicoot]

Hot Air Skyway and Turbo Track were the hardest ones for me. I’ve lost count of how many times I had to swap between Speed and Drift to beat them.

[@keris3920]

Got my wheels last night; thanks for all of the guides! They were a must-have.

[@TheViperian]

😍😍

[@bigcheese123]

What was the hardest track for you? Easiest?

[@lethaljoke]

Your guide to Blizzard Bluff helped a ton! Somehow beat that dev time by a full second!

[@WangerZ3291]

honestly, i think blizzard bluff is the "easiet" william p track to beat....

[@Nikola-22045]

One thing I never realized is that... I actually managed to beat all dev times with analog stick(the one thats hard to U turn) and I am proud of myself and no wonder it took me long to beat all of them. Probably the most impressive thing I've ever done in a game. The class I used were mostly speed and drift.

[@madeline_from_celeste_real]

I don’t know why you only have 5k subs. You deserve at least 10k more! These videos are so helpful!

[@FJMayo]

I already beat cortex castle, I recommend drift engine.

[@fakhrulzainal5384]

Same, beat it using drift too

[@keris3920]

Speed worked for me due to the straight lines. I was surprised at how easy this ghost was (especially since it is William P). The track itself is difficult, but you pretty much just need to maintain reserves the whole track and the win is guaranteed.

[@neildelaguila5575]

Drift is the way to go, also slide coliseum is way easier with drift

[@kira-vn1xg]

I used acceleration

[@rosemarygonzalez6010]

Why is Cortex so easy?

[@cex890]

Amazing!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 You're awesome 👍👍👍👍👍 when i started playing CTR you help me to U-turn. This channel is the *MOST* CTR helpful channel.

[@tyrgannusgaming6657]

Prehistoric was deceptively difficult so it is good that you are making a guide. It was actually my 15th believe it or not, but it took me quite a few attempts

[@Tommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm]

hey! i would love it if you could do a sewer speedway guide. thanks!

[@onefoot4383]

For some reason I watch these even though I already finished the dev times

[@red_x446]

Same 😙

[@aperson-qe1ht]

I strugle with tiny temple i hold blue fire all the way and still 3 seconds slower... could u get any advice?

[@CrashBandicutieness]

It's the same for me! I think the key is to have a really good first lap

[@kira-vn1xg]

In that track the developer is very hard, he hug all the walls

[@keris3920]

Might seem counter-intuitive, but run your reserves thin. Don't drift more than you need to, and use U-turning and jumping to build/maintain reserves. It keeps your lines much tighter and your paths shorter.

[@Cat0620]

Thank to your guide i managed to keep blue fire for my first entire lap on Hot Air Skyway. Omw to the master wheels, but i still need to learn Spyro Circuit first. Oxide is on WR pace on Spyro Circuit or i am just bad.

[@meme-less9567]

Ah yes perfect track for a guide what a massive thanks

[@fruitlion8]

Hopping the barrier is the one thing stopping me with this ghost, the rest is quite self explanatory, so I hope this helps :)

[@Mage_Nichlas_]

I'm a Balanced player and I can confirm the Cortex Castle Dev Time can be beaten with Balanced. My time was 1:57:29 and I don't use U-Turning. I cut corners(which Cortex Castle was pretty forgiving with corners not taking my Blue Fire) and Air Braked as well as sort of a discount U-Turn spamming small Air Brakes around some turns.

[@BLRavenWizard]

I already beat Hot Air Skyway. Thanks for the guide tho. Hope itll help the others.

[@f-1492]

Can you show me how to do the dev in roo’s tubes? This one is KILLING me!

[@qasimishtiaq8930]

The biggest advantage in this track is the cloud jump. William P doesn't pull it off perfectly and the spiral as well.

[@108spirits5]

Also, on Oxide Station the dev loses blue fire on lap 3.

[@keris3920]

The last U-turn can also be much tighter than the ghost does

[@qasimishtiaq8930]

@@keris3920 a bit risky but yes

[@PiscesPlayz]

I just beat it with Drift engine! Thanks! I'm not saying Speed is bad, it's just a choice whichever engine you're comfortable with

[@techboma]

I can do out of time fence jump while honking blue fire like 99% of the time but I can’t do the fence jump on , this track and hold fire consistently help lol

[@dimmusteve2766]

The cloud jump is the bane of my existence. I never land it correctly :(

[@themenacingsloth]

I know your pain

You plan on doing one for spyro at some point? Also cant wait for your N sane trilogy playthrough :D Remember to go for those relics thats the “fun” part of N sane trilogy

[@ShinyQuasarDragon]

I don't think I will ever beat the dev times lol I barely tied the dev time with Drift in Electron Avenue but idk about other tracks. Needless to say, I love to watch these videos to see how some people deal with hard tracks and stuff. Love your content Viperian!

[@TheViperian]

😍😍

[@itznot.jc28]

I am to scared to face a dev I barely beat velo on tiger temple by 5 milliseconds

[@piotrdudzinski4352]

Hey Viperian what tracks are possible to win without U-turning? I have already got the easy ones - N.Gin Labs, Inferno Island, Papu Pyramid and Tiny Temple(not that easy but simple!). I can air-brake well. Kudos.

[@themenacingsloth]

All 4 N. Sanity Beach tracks, Coco Park, Dingo Canyon, Tiny Arena, Dragon Mines, Blizzard Bluff, Jungle Boogie. There's more, but those are the only ones I've done so far next to the ones you listed that don't require U-Turns

[@fachrouziiskandar9206]

Dude. Im very thank you. Finally, i can beat dev. Always stuck in second lap bcs bf always gone. 🤣

[@JabbyNinja]

I know I asked already and sorry for being pushy but can you do a polar pass dev guild I’m still have problems with it

[@Hala-zo1wn]

I only have 7 more tracks to beat crash cove slide colisium turbo track those are giving me a hard time the other 4 tracks are bonus tracks don't know if they are hard

[@Megadeth7811]

That U-turn at 4:02 is a bitch. I can't hold my USF and make that shortcut consistently enough. I only get it 10% of the time. The other 90% of the time I just fly off the edge like a dumbass.

[@TheViperian]

try jumping off the right side of the U-Turn

[@DiegodeOliveira69]

"OUVER DA TUOP!"

[@ps5shorts746]

Great content, but it is unfortunate that your channel is so underrated, you should have at least 200k subscription

[@TheViperian]

I appreciate that!

[@red_x446]

Already beatem One of my favorite track Thx for the guide and for good vid the two problem i have with this is the last shortcut using u-turn 😂 so i solve that with been better from start and slow in that using air-break The next one after complete lap 1 i don't do that cuase i fall of road rip me 😂😂😂 so i solve it with been better Funny : who else play this track as king chicken and get alot of hit from other ?

[@hopper3786]

I'm having problems with Megamix Mania how to get ahead with William P can you please make a tutorial of how to do it? but still great video! It helped me alot!

[@themenacingsloth]

Leave it to William P. to show out on the 2 WORST designed tracks of CTR & CNK respectively: this Rainbow Road clone & Out Of Time (Deep Sea Driving comes VERY close....but outside of the fan blades in the final tunnel, maintaining blue fire feels less stressful there)

[@themenacingsloth]

@@Enderboss25 Still could'a GLADLY done without it. Even after bein' this track, it has ursuped Turbo Track, & literally any other possible track, fuckin' DESPISE this track

[@themenacingsloth]

You're lucky. One less for you to do. Our "exclusive content" came back to bite US in the ass tho 😆

[@Fox8639Primed]

How is Prehistoric Playground 's dev ghost one of the harder ones? I was just curious, don't hate me for this.🙁

[@scrublord2300]

When I did the dev times, I got some really good runs that were just barely slower than the dev. The time on prehistoric is hard to beat, it’s not the track.

[@Fox8639Primed]

@@scrublord2300 Oh. Thanks for explaining that.

[@keris3920]

Matthew R. is almost as good as William P. On most tracks

[@SaintUmbasa90s]

you are from malaysia, i just want to say i am from indonesia. anyway, omg, this level is so brutal, more brutal than DSD and Turbo Track / Retro Stadium

Haha Apa Khabar! Yes this track is pretty brutal at first!

[@themenacingsloth]

@@davionbandicoot2.044 I don't understand why they didn't just put a fence shortcut in that area, would've definitely made sense considering they puked blue fire turbo pads all over the place, & it DEFINITELY would've made a difference in terms of more people actually LIKING the track. I understand that they wanted to make Turdo Track good, but there was no savin' THAT mess. If anything, it's actually WORSE now. Shame really, the others were mostly either on point or an improvement entirely

[@ddddavyy8383]

Obviously they're too hard. You're effectively being put up against a TAS. There's no way there's a human putting in those inputs

[@Insanityltself]

Not sure if the devs did literally everything by themselves but those dev times are nowhere near TAS levels lmao TAS would beat world record holders ten fold

[@ddddavyy8383]

@@Insanityltself I mean, it literally is a TAS, because they didn't race around these tracks themselves they programmed the game to do it for them, just like how they programmed the rest of the time trials. There is zero human error in any of these movements, zero falter. They're clearly bots programmed by developers and not actual people setting a ghost time themselves

[@Insanityltself]

@@ddddavyy8383 Sorry for the late response but these are 100% done by the devs. At least the William P tracks. William P his dev time on Hot Air Skyway is like 2:13. But if you look at the Online leaderboards he is also in the top 100 with a 2:05. He's actually very good at the game. Most of the dev times he put in the game are actually very lenient. He started playing again on Xbox not too long ago and let me tell you, he WILL dunk on 99% of the players. The one thing i will say is that i think some of their stats are cheated. Since i play with Accel and every dev obviously plays Speed or Drift but they still leave the start line at the exact same speed that i do, which is some bs.
