Haha, you'll have to forgive me for the reaction to that one...
I'm not used to getting places in this game in such a short time.
I grinded WGM for months and didn't make any improvements at all...
To return to DS after 2 years inactivity; and PB to
that in 3 days, is nothing short of a miraculous feat for me.
I guess it's true what they say. You never truly rust at Mario Kart Wii.
I'd even go as far to say that long breaks from courses actually help...The time is nice, for sure, but it still has a way to go...
(2 days later I had
a run that was on a low 2:04.7 pace without all the chains, that had an unfortunate end)
Gonna play it for the rest of December to see what else surfaces.
I imagine a low 2:04.6/high 2:04.5 is very attainable without the use of the shroomless dock.
Fox, Havoc and Dane have also jumped aboard the Delfino train, so it's very possible to see some optimizations from them also.
