well a good strat to decrease the amount of blue shells, lightning... is to launch a 2 players GP and play alone  

that is a pretty kewl idea, but isn't the point of playing all cup tour is to see how you'd do despite those debilitating circumstances? i think playing a 2 player gp and playing alone is a little cheating.....

btw, my time is 34:05:948

Actually it is a Guillaume's idea. I found it in a thread on a French MB.

Btw i also found something about his DKM strat but i can't explain it in english. maybe Simon or Thomas could :

salut guillaume .tu passe par ou?moi je passe a droite des trois saut je sais pas is ces le mieux

Guillaume repond :

ouai tt en tournant a fond de droite a la fin de la route defoncee, ca evite des rebonds et pour le raccourci je me cogne contre le 1er truc en bois, pas celui qui est le long du trou, celui davant qui est a linterieur du virage et je f un derapage en parallele au trou, je relache laccelerateur 1s pour plus deraper et je reaccelere en ayant le kart droit je gagne 1s au tour en faisant ca maintenant voir + parfois car jai du mal a controler cette technique, il arrive souvent que je sois coince dans le truc en bois ou que le truc en bois me fasse rebondir ou je veux pas ou que je derappe et que je reaccelerer dans le trou trop dur mais quand ca marche donc la route apres le volcan qui est defoncee avec les sauts, jevite tt ca et je rebondis vraiment un chouia, tt en collant le cote droit du petit chemin, je frotte apres chaque derapage, ca permet de reduire considerablement les rebonds et sur le pont suspendu des fois il y a des soubres saut, maintenant jaccroche bien le sol et jy gagne encore jai pt un temps enorme

Let's see...

yeah, mt while turning right hard at the end of the bumpy road to avoid bounces. For the shortcut, I hit the 1st wooden fence, I let go of the accelerator for 1 second to not skid out, then I accelerate with the kart straight, I cut 1 second per lap by doing this. Sometimes I have difficulties controlling the kart with this technique, it happens plenty of times that I get stuck in the wooden fence, or the fence makes me bounce somewhere I don't want to go, or I skid and accelerate in the hole. The road after the volcano that is bumpy, I avoid to mt those and I bounce really (un chouia), mt while hugging the right side and I (frotte) after every mt, this considerablely reduces bounces. On the suspended bridge, sometimes there are (soubres) bumps, I cling to the floor and it saves time. I hit a really good time.

Ok, some of it is still missing, but most of it is done... If anyone wants to correct me in there somewhere, go right ahead...  

I'm Canadian, from Quebec, so that sort of explains how I speak/write french  

Thanks for putting the finishing touches, so of those words I had no clue what they meant -_-

It's good to put a nick in your name ...

Fine then, my nick's Nick, is that nick nick-worthy  

I'm Nicholas St-Louis, currently ranked 47th Total time  (just waiting for an update for my times to rise in the ranking)  ...  (hopefully)  

All-Cup Tour Ranks:
50cc  :  39'32"015 (while back record)
100cc:  38'02"152 (ditto)
150cc:  32'42"859 (fresh from today)
mirror:  35'30"817 (well... bad luck here)

I had some time to spare today, so I decided to reduce my time for all-cup tour 50cc, here's the update on my all-cup times

50cc: 37'17"560
100cc: 38'02"152 (yeah, need to work on that one -_-)
150cc: 32'42"859
mirror: 35'30"817 (this one too)

By the way, is it possible to lap at least one person on all tracks??  I had only DC (lightning bolt at final stretch while I was about to lap 8th ), WC, BC and RR left to lap people (at 50cc of course  )

got a 32.03 150cc all cup tour today........but only got 154 points....got slaughtered by lightning and blue and reds on baby park.  

Well, decided to work on my 100cc all-cup, so here's the update...

150cc Mus: ..6'13"081
50cc all:   ...37'17"560
100cc all: ...33'42"408
150cc all: ...32'42"859
mirror all: ...35'30"817

hmm.. think I'll go for mirror next, but with the recent TTing, I might take a wrong turn or two -_-

while doing all cup tour 150cc with me mate i managed to get 30:22:928 and that was with Toads kart

then again it was with me mate ...

I had Mushroom Cup 5'45'xxx and ACT: 30'08'xxx

150CC ACT: 30:42:xxx
150CC ACT: 5:50:300

Note: on my ACT i only got hit by 3 blue shells in all, 2 on BP, and 1 on WC. I dodged one aswell but i cant remember which level.
