My favorite thing about this game is how they weren’t afraid to make it at a breakneck high pace. Like some games like mariokart were just too slow but here the limiting factor was for me the ability to control the racer

[@Eltaurus]

29:52 I like how even the skips, which are supposed to break games, here are completely lore-accurate and mechanically recreate what happens in the movie

[@Ciotti675]

This is one of my all time favorite games. I was thinking about it recently and found your speed run. Your very good at it!! Some of the short cuts you take and flying over the map is awesome. I never thought to try those things. Great work 👏 👍

[@Bubblejunk]

Goddamn what a run I could just imagine getting better cooling as well. That block 6 rng was on point.

[@acesr3824]

Was definitely solid yea. I found some new strats tho so I might revisit this soon

[@Zeruyu]

Me at 21:35: Muhahah! Me at 21:37: WTF?!

[@acesr3824]

One of my favorite little tricks :D

[@ZachFoxPhotography]

Awesome run! Just watched Episode 1 last night and needed to watch a speedrun of this game afterward.

[@maxwright4387]

best game ever dude. those fucking trackmania guys are nothing. fukin incredible dude

[@acesr3824]

Thanks man, I appreciate that. I do however respect the TM guys quite a lot for what they do, although I could never run it myself

[@maxwright4387]

@@acesr3824 yeah i know. there seems to be an awesome community in TM i was just kidding.

[@knightlautrec4311]

Good run! I used to love this game as a bab.

[@chj.schwarz]

Amazing run! lots of fun to watch, bit of a nail biter in the end 😄

[@bbbndddl]

My favourite Star Wars game period

[@acesr3824]

you have good taste sir

[@willymobile]

Holy shit. Amazing run!

[@shuddabinswollode]

so awesome. i felt my eyes hurting at multiple points, you're v perseverant! incredible, congrats! sorry if its been answered before, but why do you tilt to the side so often? to reduce damage or does it do something to the cooldown?

[@acesr3824]

Thank you very much! For the most part the tilting to the side is just done because it reduces my hitbox therefore i have more leeway in terms of not hitting anything. It doesn't have any advantage in terms of speed or cooldown

[@user-if7kt4qh1h]

Great to watch my childhood favorite game. Can you beat the Abyss taking only the bottom route?

[@acesr3824]

I've actually never tried, I'll give it a go ;)

[@salajol]

Good stuff.

[@acesr3824]

thanks mate

[@EvanTempleton]

That was amazing

[@acesr3824]

thank you!

[@Crftbt]

Congrats on the WR. Did you upgrade your keyboard and mic? :)

[@DPhoenix237]

Great run man. Is Ebe still better than Toy Dampner, then? Does Ebe just have better speed and acc? I can't remember off the top of my head.

[@acesr3824]

Well technically Toy would be SLIGHTLY better for track 2 however the act of changing the pod twice just to use him for that one track basically negates the time he would save

[@DPhoenix237]

@@acesr3824 Ah fair enough. Amazing to watch your playthroughs. The only issue I have with it is that it shows me how much better it would be possible to play 😂

[@backbeatben]

great job! what racers did you use? does it matter?

[@cyraxninja4056]

Nice run

[@leodexe]

Is this the PC or N64 version? Do you play with a keyboard?

[@acesr3824]

PC version and yea I played with keyboard

[@leodexe]

@@acesr3824 does the PC version allows you to play with a gamepad/controller?

[@acesr3824]

@@leodexe yea it does

[@leodexe]

@@acesr3824 so it's better to play with a keyboard?

[@AS34N]

Is this still the current WR?

[@acesr3824]

Yea it is

[@lumaseed6490]

Whats the invisible stat that makes mawhonic cracked?

[@acesr3824]

That would be Boost thrust (speed gain while boosting)

[@VestedUTuber]

I noticed you spend a lot of time flying on your side. Why is that?

[@ericdanielski4802]

First.
