Title: Quick Runs / GP Topic
Post by Etch on 06/29/16 at 17:22:27

Sure, this discipline might not get much love but it should have a topic...[smiley=flush.gif]

I was curious if anybody knows how the item roulette precisely works since this helps considering your options in non-sc?

At least with quick runs, you can retry quickly and get replays which makes sitting for those perfect item sets more tolerable plus proof! For those that are bored, just post your best times which will more than likely fill out the other charts (non/sc - 50/100/150cc). I'll get to it eventually, lol.

My 150cc shortcut crap...

Guess I'll finish off 100cc before grinding non-sc runs, lol.

Unlike the last 3, these actually involve completing full laps...[smiley=lolk.gif]

My 50cc non-sc crap...

Unlike shortcut, this actually involves driving and waiting on lucky item strings...

Some are pretty good I think, damn items...lol!

Ok for the RMC2 flap but why do you use him for the RGV1 5-Lap? :-?

This is a perfect example of items depending on your character!

If you let the roulette come to a stop on it's own, Toad and Yoshi will always get a shroom off the first set here. This means far fewer retries to at least pick up a couple extra shrooms for a nice sub. Bowser usually gets stuck with a green shell but will occasionally get a ghost which steals a star. With enough luck, I could probably suck out a decent run with him but grabbing three shrooms with Toad is way easier!

On some other tracks, stopping the roulette at a certain point or simply not reaching the item box fast as possible can yield somewhat repeatable results. That just might be in my head but there are a lot of places where the number of times a shroom pops up makes me believe it's not entirely random.

This is my magnum opus...

My 150cc non-sc crap...
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCOe9qu_RnuKp5vtEwYLb2e7tQc6WnSTy

It took about a year to pull off, but I managed to find myself satisfied with the 480 times I drove!

It was a labor of love and helped me in TT's as well, God bless mksc!

Some silly stats...[smiley=flush.gif]

total flap
50cc - 50'01"45 10'03"47
100cc- 45'13"35 9'32"85
150cc- 40'11"60 8'51"76

Fastest times between the three...

76 - 150cc
1 - 100cc
3 - 50cc

Not too surprising, I was more patient with good items on slower mode flaps...lol
