mark jones are you talking about the pal version of mksc or jap because the jap game they have made it easy.the 1'11 time on boo lake is a jap time and some of the moves can not be done on the pal version.Yes the shroom off the wall can be done but the blue boosting on astraight[WHERE YOUR KART IS DOING A WIGGLING SHIT FIT IS IMPOSSIBLE ON THE PAL GAME I DON'T NO IF THIS IS A CHEAT OR A MOVE I DON'T KNOW ABOUT BUT IF THIS IS A MOVE TELL ME HOW IT IS DONE.

i'm half an half about the TT vs VS theory..

it also varies from kart to kart, some karts have a stronger weighting to weapons and some not

one problem i'll have mark is that i've only ever played mksc with bowser.. so switching to someone lighter like princess will be very difficult.

i'm tempted to stick with bowser but so many bricks are so early on in the courses that i think it'd be counter productive. saying that there are sc's that bowser can hit and others can't, thats why i'm hoping james can give some more indication as to which sc's are allowed.

There is no such thing as "PAL" for a gameboy since the GBA is not dependent on a TV screen all of the versions of the game are exactly the same except for the language the options are written in. I have both the Japanese version and the English version and they play exactly the same.

In regards to the "wiggling" boost I believe that the guy in that video used an emulator to achieve that. I can't be certain though.

First, there's no need to post in all caps. Secondly I own both versions of the game including the Japanese version and I assure you there are no differences whatsoever. That jump is possible on both versions of the game and you will just have to learn to except the fact that what seems impossible to you at this time isn't necessarily impossible. Just because I have never bowled a perfect game doesn't mean that it's impossible it just means I haven't tried long enough.

The interesting thing about your most recent post, Mr. Cutting, is that you use the fact that you slowed down and positioned yourself correctly as your main argument.

As for why I find it interesting:

Slowing down automatically gives you a disadvantage compared to going at normal speed when you shroom.
(Since if you slow down, some of the shroom speed would be used to get the needle from whatever speed you're going at to normal driving speed first.)
--

And I would side with the sympathies for the argument that the better time trial is the best driver, at least potentially.
Of course, this means I'm boldly assuming you have a better conception of the preffered racing line [and perhaps driving technique] than someone who doesn't play time trial. I assume this because this is the case, often enough to be more than a coincidence.

Since I hold my own assumptions to be true (Otherwise there would be little use for them.)
I'd have to say that whoever is a better time trial driver.
(Some of the SC( lap)s have little do with racing, honestly.) always has the upper hand.

To back this up, if you come to a dead stop and use a mushroom, even over the full distance of the shroom you don't attain full speed. Which renders the gap IMPOSSIBLE using that method. However, it is possible using more conventional methods, on EITHER version.

Some of the best players in the world never made this gap. I myself only made it once, and like termoPilluco, went the wrong way afterwards, damnit!!

As for TT vs VS mode, VS mode doesn't actually do anything for your driving ability, as it really comes down to the fall of the items. Also VS mode would probably require you to drive more conservatively, because in TT you can always try again. I know I always drove conservative on MK64 whenever a challenge came up. As for MKSC, I haven't played VS mode on that in 2 years =P and back then I wasn't any good. Now I'm #1 outside of Japan (and who knows, if all the Japs on the GameFAQs board are savestaters...)!

If I were in England, I'd gladly accept your challenge, but unfortunately I live in Australia, so I have to wait for Sami to kick your butt =)
