💡 Online Time Trial Game Mode in Retro Rewind FAQs:
1. This is a partially adapted version of the Online TT game mode in Retro Rewind, so for now, we are not able to change our vehicle after a track is selected. For now, we'll be maining Funky/Flame Runner and not using Daisy/Mach, Funky/Spear or Toadette/Magikruiser for those respective tracks. With the newest update of Pulsar, the full Online TT game mode is anticipated to come to a future Retro Rewind update.
2. Runs do not save in this game mode. If you get an overall PB, it technically will not count on TT leaderboards as it isn't set via CTGP and no ghost data is saved to be analyzed (people have already been cheating in a few lobbies).
3. Your "finishing time" and the time you see on the leaderboard can be off up to 1 frame (~.016/.017 I believe). From what I understand this is a Wimmfi/server related quirk.
4. If you see the finishing placement flash between placements after crossing the finish line (explaining some reactions I have after directly crossing the finish line), this game mode includes a code that allows you to see your updated placement as more racers cross the finish line before the final leaderboard is generated when the race concludes.
5. For those that have been asking, I would love to do a separate series to do a season 2 of the Online TT Lounge down the line if enough activity can support a full series; even at its peak activity a few years ago, after event ~30 or so general activity was significantly decreased.
6. I use an external input viewer to capture my controller inputs (I use the Gamecube controller). I use a software called Retro Spy that displays the input viewer's captured inputs. I chroma key the background of a input skin and made a custom layout in Photoshop to match the Retro Rewind theming of silver.
7. Abbreviations: IDB (inside drift bike), DNF (did not finish), UMT (ultra mini turbo for when karts had them enabled)
8. Green text for either my series best or the competitor's series best means this was a new best made in the race you just watched. These are some fun stats we are keeping track of for the entire series and to give more context for the weight of the times achieved by all racers.

Nick with the b2b, closing the year off with a true gift

[@hacksignify]

7:45 Raceway King. Love these videos, when you get locked in and quiet it's the best feeling in the world for me. love watching the skill. Reminds me when I was watching old Maxamillion Dood videos he used to appologies for going quiet cause it was a youtube video and youre suppose to talk, but it lead to the best gameplay.

[@FlyingPhoenix277]

Whoa!! Let's go! 2 videos on one week! Your Time Trial times have gotten INSANE. The skill in the players you were playing against was also INSANE

[@KaiSchmadtke-u2b]

Dude ur cracked at coconut mall... This is one hell of a track and you pulled of the smoothest driving ever

[@SJ-di5zu]

27:10 Nick was the paid actor 😭

[@NMeade]

LMAO

[@kkruhkhaar9914]

11:13 holy crap that lag start. Also that had some of the sketchiest jumps I’ve seen in a while. Good job keeping your cool Nick

[@General12th]

Hi Nick! I love it when tracks like Big Bad Castle get chosen and you totally lock in. Just a smile on your face and a heart of determination.

[@eretah]

I love that retro rewind tracks seem to have as much tech (and jank) as Nintendo tracks. Also, I appreciate all the editing details put in, they complement the videos perfectly!

[@HyperOuseopDC]

Absolutely BLESSED with back to back episodes!! 💯💯💯

[@NinjaYoshi888]

Your a great player nmeade. I love watching you imporve a lot. The time trial series is amazing. Your a fantastic player though, always remember that!

[@edwardswartz8471]

Love the series Nick. Keep it up!

[@bb4life141]

the last 2 videos have been insane dude! Grats on the marvelous content and the entertainment. Imagine a heart rate monitor during these

[@angusgoi]

Thank you, Nick Meade for this Retro Rewind Classic

[@virtualcomp1]

Absolutely loving these vids. Only thing I wish you would do is show the competitors’ mii names after the time sheets following the race. Would love to know who you’re competing with in these rooms.

[@luisgeronimopachecoechevar1497]

Love your videos bro keep them coming

[@SeaOfPixels]

16:10 heart stopping dude

[@zachdamenti4387]

[@arn2556]

[@bluebro827]

[@colin7244]

5:49 that guy getting first got his blessing from me I guess since 724 is my number

[@INFINITY_99]

No way we get two episodes in two days - this is phenomenal!🔥🔥

[@betterthanbrooklyn5806]

12:38 really good sound

[@NMeade]

LOL

[@VitaEmerald324]

I decided to check this out since it appeared on my main page and I enjoy the stats that are included!

[@SuperComet101]

nmeade with the uploads on BACK to BACK days! holy shit

[@drewbrackman3257]

Missing this great series

[@WesTomlinson]

I am also salty at that bowsers castle run, I need an nMeade bc domination every episode

[@FrenchiKO]

Actually, going for early schrooms is a good strat when you don't know the track, most of the time some people are miles behind wondering what they're doing wrong, and then they fail easily I like that online TT is about winning with the slowest time possible.

[@440-6pakroadrunner]

Nick, do you ever scream at a lamp at the top of your lungs after you cut the camera? Hahaha

[@NMeade]

LOL

[@440-6pakroadrunner]

@NMeade keep up the series man! I thoroughly enjoy it! As someone who is in their 30s hahaha

[@Etterbeer]

Ribbon Road PB was a .192 and not a .912 btw :) Keep up the OTT content!

[@DuduMKW]

Retro Rewind added the option to change combo after track is voted

[@Kuusnelonen64]

worst lag start iw ever seen 11:15 HOOOLY

[@GaelLazerYT]

Nick could it be possible to link the Retro Rewind WR in the video box please? love these video bro, i hope someday i can play online TTs with you bro, your the main reason why i love TTs so much! thank you for these awesome videos of your of ONTTs keep it up bro!

[@pepismaniguess]

Nmeade how do you feel about the first 3 for 3 on rainbow road that happened yesterday

[@NMeade]

Absolutely AMAZING, one of the greatest Mario Kart accomplishments ever (not just MKW)

[@bluebro827]

13:30 ok Michael Jackson

[@MK_Lokii]

Two uploads? Lets go

[@JarodMontgomery-e6r]

They should put bonus points to the flap winner as well

[@alexw0310]

So, there are two versions of some tracks in Retro Rewind? I'd like to know what went into that decision

[@deathlocksama]

not sure about the decision but having multiple revisions of one track in the same pack is a thing that CTGP did a lot like 13+ years ago so it might be some sort of homage or just for fun

[@NMeade]

There are which is the whole point of Retro Rewind! It is going eventually have (from what I can understand) all tracks from all of the Mario Kart games. And if there's more than one MK game that had the track, I believe CT authors eventually update those specific versions over longer periods of time

[@GaelLazerYT]

apsolut crazy love ontts

[@Foster128]

8:50 so im not crazy that is a difficult cut

[@NMeade]

100% it is a tricky cut, definitely learnable but a lot can go wrong especially with your shroom timing and not going through the window the right way

[@rickartodeluxe]

MNYEAHHHHHHHH

[@zenvoltage4046]

I was tt banshee board walk the other day it's not so much the shrooms being the problem. It's not hitting the wall for me after going through the window.

[@PrinceZariel]

What's the music for Bone-Dry Dunes at 27:46? o;

[@MK_Lokii]

Theres a sunset!!!

[@Twderp98]

11:04 i have the world record pls update the thing

[@vincentpham991]

Yo congrats!

[@Twderp98]

[@scotttheobald2739]

Do you have a spreadsheet where you track all your PBs, Online TT times, and competitor times?

[@NMeade]

Not a spreadsheet for all of those, the same image asset is used for each track when I overlay and animate them so when things are beaten it is pretty easy to identify in the race itself and I manually edit them

[@scotttheobald2739]

@@NMeade Makes sense!

[@cyber_197]

where do you get the bkts from? i know and a lot of track versions are different from the ones in ctgp, is there a leaderboard or something?

[@NMeade]

There is! you can find it here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XkHTTuUR3_10-C7geVhJ9TtCb4Bz_gE19NysbGnUOZs/edit?gid=0#gid=0

[@cyber_197]

i see a lot of them are with buffed karts which isn't too applicable for this series, but still cool nonetheless

[@colin7244]

21:34 yea NMeade these players are really good but I just want to know who they are so I can congratulate them

[@colin7244]

Who got that 1:25 on Maka Wuhu

[@EldenSoulsVids]

I sort of wish it was just the Nintendo wii tracks. It would be time consuming to practice so many tracks

[@snbjornPizza]

I’m an early fella

[@j-yoshi64_justcallmej]

Another tremendous episode of "Why J-Yoshi64 doesn't do Time Trials."

[@kkruhkhaar9914]

11:13 holy crap that lag start. Also that had some of the sketchiest jumps I’ve seen in a while. Good job keeping your cool Nick
