Expert Staff Ghost Video for info, looks like could be a frustrating round, hope those falling boulders don't intefere with play too much

**MikeF** · 07-05-2008, 13:14

You can pretty much avoid all the boulders although I am not sure how a small character is going to handle the course

There is a much faster way to do the track too but I am not sure if I can manage it

**VR46** · 07-05-2008, 15:42

Guess you mean this little shortcut

Will give this a crack later tonight

**VR46** · 07-05-2008, 20:54

Quick ten minute blast and managed a 2.50.087, not using the shortcut above, and using the mushroom over the bridge right at the end of each lap, took most corners too wide so it's a pretty rough time.

The shortcut can be done with a mushroom, but doing it quickly and consistently is another story.

**r3z** · 07-05-2008, 21:19

I just had a quick couple of goes, so I've sent you my ghost.

r3z / r|3|z / 2.38.953 / Wiimote & Nunchuck

I copied the expert ghost and mushroom'd across the first patch of mud on the right at the start.. just looked at the world record tho and it seems you don't need a mushroom at all to take that shortcut so I'll give it a go later.

**VR46** · 07-05-2008, 21:20

Couldn't resist another 20 minutes ..

DavidHolliss / David / 2.44.507 / GC Controller

Used shortcut on all three laps, but rest of the run was pretty scrappy, ghost sent to MikeF & r3z. Sure something like 2.35.xxx is possible.

**r3z** · 07-05-2008, 22:00

I thought I'd go back and have a go at the shortcut too

..

r3z / r|3|z / 2.31.408 / Wiimote & Nunchuck

Used the boost near the start as before, and just slowed down in order to take the shortcut corner tightly. You can get sub-50 second lap times if you take the couple of corners before the shortcut well - I managed it on the first two laps of this run, but then screwed up on the last one which lost me over a second so I reckon under 2.30 is doable.

**VR46** · 07-05-2008, 23:09

Thanks for the ghost, 2.37.226 for me, best lap of 51.6xx, didn't realise you could do the shortcut without a mushroom (didn't play MK: DD that much you see). Bit more tidying up/practice and should hit the low 2.30's

sent you the ghost Mike.

**arada392** · 08-05-2008, 22:33

I know I'm rather late to the party, but can I take part in these last two rounds?

**VR46** · 08-05-2008, 22:59

Of course, plus I am planning on doing a second series for any late comers

Got 2.34.830 earlier this evening, will send ghost to MikeF. Best lap of 50.9xx

What's your friend code David ?

**arada392** · 09-05-2008, 09:49

Yay!

My Friend Code is

5112-3634-7505

I won't be able to post any times until Sunday night––as I'm leaving on a short weekend trip tonight––but I'm sure I'll be able to make the deadline.

(Oh, and my average lap-time for this course is about fifty seconds.

Mwahaha.)

**VR46** · 09-05-2008, 10:04

Was going to offer to send you my ghost but think it should be the other way round !

Forgot to send you the ghost Mike, will do it tonight.

KIT786/ Oumar/ 2:42:247/ Wheel

Not very great, but only been able to have a few tries. Been able to do the shortcut on two of the three laps, but thats was using a mushroom and the third lap fell down so time was rubbish.

Will try and give it some more shots before monday, but not sure as I should be revising for exams!

**MikeF** · 11-05-2008, 12:22

I haven't even had a chane to get on it yet, will hopefully get some time today
