Mario Kart Wii Time Trial Competition. Round Four. NOW CLOSED

[GluedOnBeard]

Could someone please send me a Ghost atm I am only on Kurosaki7 / Kurosaki7 / 2:39.343 , its only due to the calming affect of Vampire Weekend I still have a TV intact, hate the bike especially for the tunnel, but I just generally hate bikes and having to press up on the d-pad and timing wheelies

A slight improvement on my time

Appreciate a ghost from one of you fast lads please.

Agree with kurosaki7 about bikes/wheelies/stunts, they're really killing the time trial fun for me.

[MikeF]

Same here tbh, not a lover of bikes but hey make the most of a bad situation etc

Will send a ghost when I get in from work squire

Which route are you taking and where are you shroom boosting?

[VR46]

I'm taking exactly the same route as the world's best ghost (using the mushroom to cut the left hand corner just before the small waterfall), then staying left to avoid the optional tunnel. Just not doing enough wheelies/boosts, seem to waste some time with the corner cut also, tricky to get it just right three times in a row. Must admit, only tried this one for about half an hour tops.

Thanks rez, the route I am taking just now is the nintendo guy and cutting across to the right before the drop into the pipe, not sure thats the best way to do it so hopefully the ghost will help

I did start to get the hang of the bike but still not really making the most out of it.

I use the shroom jsut before the drop into the pipe to cut all the corner there. Can't get anywhere near my time follwing the world ghost

I mean the tunnel to the right of the small waterfall, approx 42 seconds into this video

I figured that was the one you meany, hence my editied post. Try using the shroom to cut the corner by the final turns before the drop into the pipe. Also stay away from the trick ramps aas much as possible as they slow you down too much, the rapids are faster than tricking

I tried world ghost route first of all this time and could only do about 1.39 so switched to the expert one.

[jezzace]

I'm having trouble with this one. I'm not used to the bike and can't beat the expert yet! Can someone send me a ghost so I can see how its supposed to be done?

[MikeF]

Just follow the expert route, thats the one most of us are using to set our times

[VR46]

I didn't realise that when playing last night, that's my excuse anyway

[MikeF]

So you had been using the shortcut just after the start then. The other one is so much faster imo
