MaC problems
08/01/04 at 15:21:37
 
Just havin a terrible effort on MaC at the mom & wondering which way you go around the er..creatures (sure they have a name Wink) just before the finally turn.  I have great problems on this track still even now getting past them on a reasonable straight line.  I used to go inbetween but that's very inconsistant & now i'm trying to get tight in & go around but i'm sure i'm losing time.

Also while i'm at it, my flap is crap to put it bluntly cause i'm poor at the 2nd shroom......any tips! ??? Roll Eyes

Sorry times call for desperate measures at 03.20 in the morning (maybe i should call it a night)

There are Mario Circuit video's here of 3lap and flap watch them if you already haven't they will help alot.
Right click them and "save target as".

If you're under 1'32 (about 32'0 1st lap) you should be trying to go to the right of the first creature on the first lap (over that I'd go to inbetween 'em). It's hard at first, you really have aim right when you come around the corner. But as you get faster, it'll be easier cuz the little bastard moves right from the center.
Obviously, I'd go inbetween 'em on laps 2 & 3.

When i played this course i was stuck at 1'30'4 , i had about a month's rest from it and got a 1'29'9 within 20mins.One thing you may do wrong is the shroom , stay on the grass until you fully stopped and shroom then side into a mt then release as soon as you leave the grass.The little guys(gomba's i think there called)i go to the right of them while sliding.

Right thanks!  Had the nobuo vid but didn't realize Roll Eyes but grard's vid helped.  Thanks Matt i'll go to the right now as was changing all the time.  Nobuo's vid makes me sick...it's so clean & mistake free Angry.  I've got quite good bsplits of 31.2-29.7-29.7 so i'll see if i can get close today & finally get under 29 for my flap.

All u can do is check out some vids and go through it with your ghost to see if you're doing everything right Stephen. And then just keep practicing Wink

Ok, I just spent a little time on MCR and I feel like I'm gettin better, but the clock seems to disagree ???
I'm thinkin it might have something to do with my shrooming (probably one of the most difficult courses to shroom on.....SL being the hardest).
My avg splits are about 31.3 - 29.8 - 29.8 = 1'30'9 0-1-1 obviously(and no screw ups). So can some of you guys tell me your splits so I can get a better Idea of where my attention should b directed.

ummm well i can't seem to get a good 1st lap ever Undecided

31.09-29.55-29.55  or 30.04-29.55-30.55     1.30.1ish

Matt your splits are what i had 3days ago before i started to play it again.  There's a couple of spots that i've added mt's that Grard & Nobuo managed that were abit much for me before.  Plus i leave the shroom to even later than before as Tanney said which seems to work.  Just watch your ghost & see whats best.

Is it quicked cut across the jump at the end ??? cause i seem to gain so much high sometimes & not other times which makes me lose couple of tenths.

Is it faster for the flap to shroom twice behind the chain chomp or to shroom over the grass on the turn before that and then shroom behind the chain chomp?

Yeh i tried that for abit but was .3 off most of the time.  Tho i didn't play it very long.  I'm pretty sure it's faster to shroom twice behind the chain chomp
