do you use shrooms and get 3 stars?

I don't remember if I reached *** with 2 shrooms and more, but I already reached a few *** with 1 shroom, at BC2 especially, or sometimes at MC3 or CI2 !

Is there a pic of the start screen when you reach 3 stars in all cups? I and one other guy are interested in this Smiley If not, could Pierre or Archi take one? Grin I know they have 3 stars in all cups.

Hmmm we don't have anything when we had reached *** at all Cups ! Archibald told me he had black sky and new orchestral music at start screen before reaching 30/30 *** ! When he did *** at the last Cup (Extra-Lightning 150cc) he had anything else !

I think you have black sky and new orchestral music when you reached *** at the 6 Special Cups only ! Undecided

I've been playing through trying to get ***'s and just wanted to make some comments after reading through this thread:

1. I honestly don't think consistency matters, I think it's how far you are ahead of the competion, period.  A great example of this is the *** I just got on 150 cc Special Cup.  My RRd laps were ~25,40,30 and I still came out with the ***... I used items as much as I could and used the break whenver I felt like it (which was a fair amount on Lakeside and Broken Pier).

2. I got *** on Lightning Cup 150cc first try... and I fell off the course once or twice.

I want to see that *** algorithm!  Smiley

I got the new nighttime opening screen  8) 8) 8) 8)  It's very cool  Grin  I haven't raced any of the SMK cups, so you just have to get *** on the MKSC cups to get it.

About that algorithm, I wasn't really checking, but the times I did I think the next closest computer player in the ranks had 19 points or less to my 36.  Maybe it just comes down to points...  In anycase, my strategy for *** was to race as well as I could using SC's consistently and using as many items as I could, dropping green shells back and (especially) dropping red shells back to mess up the closest computer players.  I didn't worry too much about going off course and I didn't fret about using the brakes...

Good job !

By the way, Normal Cups aren't so hard. I'm looking forward your results in Extra Cups, cos if you drove for having new screen, I don't think you already have *** at all Cups, do you ?

I think the most important strategy (especially about Extra Lightning 150cc, the most difficult Cup ever to reach ***) is to finish the race with a solid lead over the 2nd ! It doesn't matter if you use some items, or if a red shell hit you, if you can finish the race with a solid time ! I also pretty sure you have to forbidden using brakes, to have a better chance to reach *** !

So, if you want to continue, and trying to reach all ***, it would be interesting, and I'll wait your results. Smiley Wink

i gave up...2 hours a day for 2 weeks and always getting 2 stars.  i was trying to get as many coins as possible, but that's when i gave up.  i think the time that you beat 2nd place by on each course is the most important.  i think each course is ranked separately and your overall rank is in the computation too.

With the camrecorder, it wasn't possible to do vids of more than 3 minutes, so I did a stop after each race. And if the quality is appreciable, it's not possible to read time, number of coins, ... just guess I did *** ! Undecided

hey, there is an emulator that lets you play multiplayer on your computer.  i tried playing with netplay, but i think there's going to be lag.  also, there's a glitch on some systems, and i couldn't figure out how to get around it.

ok, i see you don't use the items, and you do two good boosts on mc3.  you take the inside turn, but i take the outside turn on bc2 4th turn.  on kb1, you don't cut through the water; i don't think the water slows you down.  on ci2, i try to boost the same spot, but i am in the mud more times than not.

That's def one of the boosts I don't go for...

*edit*  Nevermind, it's pretty easy to do; I do a little different angle than in that gp vid though.  I go into the sand earlier and come out sooner.  Best 1-shroomer is 15"40 now, is that any good  ???

*edit* best 1-shroomer now 15"34, got a PR race off of it with 1'19"5X, went on the sand on lap 4  Angry potential for 1'18"XX

Interesting. Most players of my day will know that Extra Lightning 150cc *** was just about the only thing I didn't do =P

When I have more bandwidth to waste (or perhaps on the last day of the billing month =P) I'll download that.
