I am making a top 30 hardest expert staff ghosts

[@Vrock02]

Hey very big thanks for putting one of my ghosts in this video at #32! This video does a exceptional job at showing the hardest staff ghosts in the pack and may help other people in the future who struggle against these ghosts and good job on getting all 250 gold stars!

[@testsubject1666]

Ty! Nice to know many will find use in this. And absolutely, your pinewood ghost has left me with a blister on my finger that isn’t seeming to go away lol, very deserving of its spot on the list

Orca hi just found this bideo

[@Etterbeer]

Can definitely agree with alot of the top tracks mentioned in here, despite "only" having 215 gold stars myself as of right now and haven't tried all of them yet. With the constant new track updates lately I'm struggling to keep up. Great video! Very entertaining and high quality.

[@testsubject1666]

oh yeah, the updates are so annoying when trying to go for 250, at least council are focusing more on not having insane ghosts in the game now lol. glad you found the video entertaining and good luck with the rest of your journey to 250!

[@tjgames5716]

Bro you're so underrated! Very good video, keep up the great work!

[@soleus3778]

Great video, and I'm honestly surprised that I saw my Waluigi's Motocross ghost on here at all, especially over tracks like Big Express City or Lost Fortress (latter of the two left me with injuries in the following couple days after I obtained the gold star). WM was never really a track I've spent a serious amount of time on, and I don't consider myself to be a top level player either, so I honestly never believed that people would have trouble with my ghost. Even before the track got updated, I had an even faster time of a 1:58.3xx which had more optimized lines, but I was told to nerf it due to several people expressing their concerns for the ghosts' difficulty relative to how the track plays. For the rest of the video, I can agree with pretty much most of the spots on your list, and it was even nice to know about some new strats that I didn't know existed since I haven't played this game seriously in roughly two years.

[@testsubject1666]

Oh damn, I definitely still stand by your WM ghost being a tough one, I did have pace quickly but remaining consistent on that track is a nightmare lol, if it wasn’t for your wheelie turn on lap 2, god knows how long it would’ve taken me lol

[@spearx5544]

Very nice video, i do disagree with many of these, but all in all i would put almost all of these ghosts in the top 50. great work!

[@testsubject1666]

Ty! And ye, some of my rankings may seem a bit odd but cool that you mostly agree with them being in the top 50

[@zooms7889]

24:08 i remember getting the zipper turn down pretty well as a kid back in the WFC days, pretty much the only advanced strat i knew lol. I wasn't 100% consistent, but I was consistent enough to where i would try it every time, even in regular races, esp since i was bad at the track otherwise.

[@Sxm580]

This must've taken you so much time to make, really helpful vid nice job and congrats again on 250 :)

[@testsubject1666]

Ty! Yeah this took quite a while to put together but it was worth it in the end, glad you found it useful!

[@Paul-hq7gf]

Great video dude, you also have a really nice voice. I personally find DBG a lot harder than you ranked it. My hardest is Honeybee Hideout and that took me 7-8 hours while DBG has already taken me 10+ hours and I haven't been on pace into the shroomless L2 once, quite far from it. It's awkward to play imo and the halfpipes with the following ramp are just a chore to get right, maybe I'm just doing something wrong tho.

[@testsubject1666]

thanks, your compliments mean alot! and yeah idk, i personally had very little trouble with dbg, maybe cuz ive just always been better at tech tracks but im not sure, youll definitely get it soon!

[@carp4006]

this list is crazy to me in hindsight knowing that probably at least half of these ghosts had to be significantly nerfed from their original state (some by multiple seconds) lol

[@testsubject1666]

actually?! redoing some of these even faster sounds like hell

[@carp4006]

@@testsubject1666 ​ yeah it's very funny to me but it would have been really bad if we let a lot of them through in hindsight lol. as some examples off the top of my head: Dragon Burial Grounds was nerfed by 1s after a hotfix update Desert Fort was nerfed by ~0.4s iirc (might be wrong but the time's on chadsoft) Honeybee Hideout was slightly nerfed after the update (hard to tell by how much since the track was a bit faster i think) Melting Magma Melee was nerfed by over 1.3s New Moon Manor was nerfed by 0.9s Volcanic Valley was nerfed but i forget by how much Wuhu Island was nerfed by ~0.8s we still have to do a lot of nerfing ghosts since everyone keeps trying to submit top 3 times in ctgp lol

[@testsubject1666]

​@@carp4006 desert fort and new moon seem alright being that much faster, perhaps even dbg but maybe im crazy. the fact wuhu was nerfed by 0.8 is insane to me, that wouldve been close to impossible

First off Amazing Video, Second Are you going to Update this video because of all of the new harder ghosts?

[@testsubject1666]

Hey, thanks!! I’m not gonna be updating this video, definitely not anytime soon anyway since I stopped playing the game over a year ago now. If you’re looking for an updated version then I’d highly recommend Jayde’s top 30 video!

[@EMMJAY_906]

on magnetic sanctuary, the rail doesn't save even close to 1s, I'd say .5 at most. So you just have to be around 1s faster entering lap 3 and ur good to go around it and not deal with the fire pillars

[@Hiahowareyou]

Brilliant video... How do even decide with all of those? gg on 250! might make my own one of these lists 🤔

[@testsubject1666]

ty! I actually ranked them as i went along so by the time i got 250, i already had my top 50 lol

[@zachny]

When I first did 250 almost 3 years ago, undiscovered offlimit was one of the hardest ones for me. Idk why, I just kept hitting the koopa. Took me at least 3-4 hours.

[@testsubject1666]

i know a lot of people struggled with undiscovered and i can defo see why, very glad i didnt have to deal with that one for too long lol

What do you think of Daisy's Palace? For me that ghost was really tough.

[@testsubject1666]

oh, i think i forgot to update it lol, it should also be an 8 on there but the old version was a 3 cuz of the respawn. and ty, means alot!

[@friskycalibri2293]

I find the Suzuka Circuit ghost rather easy, although I can fully admit it's due to familiarity with its layout from seeing real-life races on it, as well as driving it in simulators. It does not translate well to MKWii physics, though. (Not to mention how unrealistic the height difference is, there is barely any on the custom track.)

[@InklingGamer7626]

sunset forest is a really hard ghost for me and really underatted

[@testsubject1666]

the shroom cut on sunset is definitely quite tough and it caused me to have a bit of trouble with ghost for sure

[@InklingGamer7626]

yeah very tech heavy track

[@datmarshal]

You should do the top 50 easy expert staff ghosts

[@testsubject1666]

That would probably be much harder than the hardest because of how so many ghosts are 1st tries, would be hard to differentiate between the difficulty in a lot of ghosts
