Mario Kart: Double Dash Time Trial Thread

[cgannon64]

As requested. Post your times like this:

Character 1, Character 2, Kart, Level, Best Lap/Overall Time

I'll post a few in a minute. Oh, and I know that there is no way to verify times (unless you can take screenshots) so be honest. What's the point of lying if you know its a lie?

Mario, Luigi, Basic Mario Kart, Luigi's Circuit - Overall 1:38:663, Best Lap 0:32:630

Mario, Luigi, Waluigi Kart, Baby Park - Overall 1:23:253, Best Lap 0:11:146

I love Baby Park. I stay to the inside and slide as early as possible, and I kept on beating my time by alot. These are the only two time trials I've done extensively.

Post away!

I suck at Time Trials, I powerslide like crazy, but it rarely ever works.

Also, I think the level and times should go first, since those matter more

Baby Park- 11'393/25'274 Toadette, Paratroopa Koopa, Barrel Train

 

[cgannon64]

Don't worry about that mini-boost. Its only a few mph for a few seconds and, IMO, its not worth the effort (unless you're in a really long slide).

I see the point of powersliding to be turning without losing speed, not to get a mini-boost.

Tried again on Baby Park - 11'071/20''488 same everything but Bullet Blaster instead of Barrel Train. Still pathetic, but a major improvement

 

[cgannon64]

Baby Park - 0:10:746. With Bowser and Baby Bowser.

Beat that. I don't think I'll be able to break 10:5 or 10 seconds, it would require absolute perfection.

EDIT:

Baby Park - 0:10:733, Bowser and Baby Bowser.

EDIT 2:

Baby Park - 0:10:728, Bowser and Baby Bowser.

That's it, I give up. There's no way I can even break 10:7.

 

[cgannon64]

With the Koopas and the Bullet Car I got to about 10:5something on one lap for the Baby Park. I might be able to break 10:5 with this kart...its awesome.

 

[Silverflame]

I think I got a 0:10:7 on one lap. I do know that on a different run I got a 1:18 (whole run). Hey, only three more seconds to go before I unlock the staff ghost! Don't you hate it when you can't beat your own ghosts?

 

[cgannon64]

Staff ghost?

Oh, and I do hate it when my ghosts are ahead of me. Sometimes I pass them on straightaways though. I don't get why.

One weird thing I notice is that usually when I beat my record for best lap in a race I do pathetic in the actual total race; I'll blow a couple other laps.

BTW I think you may have beaten by total time for Baby Park, but I'm not sure.

 

[Silverflame]

Staff ghosts are the ghosts made by the staff that are hard to unlock and even harder to beat. The staff ghost for baby park requires a 1:15 time to unlock, and the ghost has a time of 1:11 or something. Considering the current record is around the 1:09 range, that's going to be pretty hard.

 

[cgannon64]

Wow. That's hard. A 1:15 is like under 10:5 on every single lap. I don't have that kind of consistency.

 

[Silverflame]

With everything unlocked, I tried again on baby park, getting a 1:15:9-something and best lap a 10:1-something. I'm not even going to try to unlock the staff ghost though.

 

[Cedric Greene]

Well best I've been able to get is a total time of 1:14:902 and best lap of 9:886 of course they weren't the same race. I used Koopa Troopa/Paratroopa in the Bullet kart.

EDIT: In the Baby Park of course.
EDIT 2: and to unlock the Staff Ghost you need a time under 1:14:000

 

[Silverflame]

Well, I unlocked the staff ghost, and went against it once. Highest time 1:12-something now.
