RedShell Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 only one level to go on NeS Remix (the last bonus stupid thing), so I'll do that tonight too!!You underestimate the 'last bonus stupid thing', especially if you're going for 3/Rainbow stars. But anyway, nice one on getting DK. Enjoy! : peace: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tapedeck Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 "FUCKING GET IN THERE!!!!" I literally shouted that just now, having spent around 2 hours trying to beat your time on 1-1 @tapedeck. This game + online leaderboards/replays = digital crack. And damn, you weren't kidding about the blisters. Let's do this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serebii Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I should really do some time trials to destroy you all :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzybee Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 You underestimate the 'last bonus stupid thing', especially if you're going for 3/Rainbow stars. But anyway, nice one on getting DK. Enjoy! : peace: I don't underestimate it But I can get 3 stars on it surely quiet easily?! I have 3 stars on everything (not going for all rainbows, unless you get something)! I presume if I can make it all the way through without using a continue I'd get 3 stars!! Do you get anything for 3 starring everything?! And I can't pick up my donkey kong from the la post until tomorrow - ARGH!!!! I have tonight all by myself too. And I'm out tomorrow night!!! Bum... Right. I'm having a day off tomorrow to play it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedShell Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Let's do this! Oh no! I'll never get to play the rest of the game if this continues.

Hero-of-Time Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Oh no! I'll never get to play the rest of the game if this continues. You don't get anything for all rainbow stars, no. I can't remember now if that stage was annoying to get rainbow, or just to get the 3 stars, but it was certainly annoying and led to me posting this on Miiverse: Did you get rainbow stars for all the mini games?

RedShell Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Did you get rainbow stars for all the mini games?I got them for 100 or so stages before learning that the reward for all rainbow stars was Sweet F.A. so I kind of lost the motivation at that point.

I should really do some time trials to destroy you all :p Is that you... in eighth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serebii Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) We've gotta make that 3 months until MK8 fly over! Is that you... in eighth? I did one to test the feature out. That's all :p Keep hitting the 1'50 mark It really is a one mistake, one split second miscalculation and you're screwed for eternity situation Edited February 25, 2014 by Serebii Automerged Doublepost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tapedeck Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) Had a blast tonight...good lord! @RedShell This game is genius. Has that EAD Jungle Beat flow about with pin-point precise controls. I even learnt new moves tonight - such as smashing barrels and not stopping your momentum as well as pulling items quicker. All of their buttons make sense too. Retro's control depth is perfectly done for time trial runs. Edited February 25, 2014 by tapedeck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, I gotta get back to that run then, as it's only a matter of time... You're spot-on about the depth of the gameplay too, it's actually astonishing what can be done in Time Attack. Check out the world number 1 replay on 1-K, it's something else. Edited February 26, 2014 by RedShell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedShell Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 OK, I checked out your replay @tapedeck and that was just too awesome not to do this: It's a bit choppy in places, don't think my PC likes running 2 HD vids simultaneously. We go both go in and out of the lead quite a bit throughout that run, you're leading right at the start (after the swimming part) and before the barrel blast section too. Think you might be on the final stretch as well, but then you make a mistake on the last spike pit! Check out the slowmo replay at the end of the vid though, you miss out by a frame... a single frame. : peace: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedShell Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 How do you record those videos RedShell?!Using a Hauppauge capture device.It's one of the older models, but still works pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedShell Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Awesome, who needs Mario Kart TV?Yeah, I'm planning to do league highlight vids again. Is it really simple to use?Very. You just hook it up to PC via USB, open up the recording software and hit record.The picture still passes through to your TV too, so you can game on there while it's recording/streaming. :awesome: How much it cost you?I got it on an Amazon flash sale, think it was £70. They currently go for £115 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tapedeck crossed the invisible vertical line at the barrel's leftmost x-value first. Anyway, the game set the rules, so congratulations @RedShell!.

Think you might be on the final stretch as well, but then you make a mistake on the last spike pit! That's incredible. Thanks for making that and sharing @RedShell The bit that drives me crazy (and sets me back every time) is the area with the huge tree and bounce onto the highest 'bush'. It never seems to work for me (have only pulled it off once) and so I have to go with the small bush bounce straight into the barrel. That costs me (on average) 2 seconds every time so I feel like I'm always making time up hah. Have tried so many times to get it pixel perfect. Also - the folk who are top (01:31-ish) seem to do it every time with minimal effort. I'll nail it eventually but for now it's damn frustrating. Other than that, yeah at the end it got a bit frantic. There are moments where I was actually forgetting the buttons from it being so complex. @dazzybee I thought I was WAY out tbh. I thought RedShell had got 01:37 so when I had a look to check I just shook my head in bemusement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the pogo jump up to that high ledge, it took me ages to get it right (still can't pull it of consistently) but I found that it helps to push the analog stick slightly to the right when approaching the edge. It kind of pushes DK/Cranky on to it. : peace: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to taking it on again. Still can't believe how folk are getting to the 01:31 bracket. God-tier. Still, nice to be in the top 100 globally.
