Replay glitch
08/10/09 at 22:13:48

I almost forgot about this until I just now saw a similar thread on the MK64 board .

Well, this happened when I got my 9"74 lap record on VL2. I was NOT racing a CPU ghost. Anyway, the 5lap of that race was still fast enough for a replay (does anyone know how slow your time has to be before a replay is unavailable?) I chose to watch the replay, wondering if there was any room to push my new PR any lower. At first Bowser did everything in the replay that I did in the actual race, including breaking ice blocks-- but in the second lap, he started to behave very strangely, falling into the water and having to be picked up by Lakitu. He ran into the outer boundaries of the course, too. After an amount of time passed that was equal to the length of the race, I was able to control Bowser in the replay!

Apparently you're not truly watching a replay... the game automatically inputs the same commands that you inputted during the race, and possibly due to the nature of the ice blocks, the automatic commands may fall out of synch. I was disappointed because I couldn't watch my record lap again Smiley

I've heard about a glitch like this (I believe it was David Wonn who discovered the original glitch), although this is the first time I've seen it happen without a CPU ghost in the original race.

Has anyone else observed bizarre replay or ghost behavior like this, in SMK or any other Kart game?
Could this be the reason why MKSC won't let you save ghosts or replays on Retro tracks? Roll Eyes

The problem with characters who drive in an odd way happens sometimes in some replays, especially when your 5-lap time is very long. I may give it a try soon, what you're telling is rather interesting and funny...

I remember I had a replay for this (it was for the IB f-lap video)

But it was impossible to get a video of the 11"82 at this time since the character began to drive strangely at the beginning of lap 4, unfortunately I stopped the replay and gave it another try so I couldn't check this out...

Were you able to reproduce this glitch without the CPU ghost? I've seen this before but with a CPU ghost, which is easily reproducible. I did a write-up of the replay glitch in SMK for David Wonn's site about 8 years ago. You can check it out here: Go to http://davidwonn.kontek.net/snesm.html and scroll down until you see Time Trial Oddities, sent in by Hue Le under Super Mario Kart.

I'm sure you'll enjoy that one:

MC2 (PAL) - 1'09"94 NBT with replay crash

I really can't explain what happened. This damn track is cursed, if I refer to what we talked about it just above, and to Karel's 5-lap replay too where the chronometer gets fucked up in the end. Smiley

OK, my cartridge's really beginning to behave wrong. When I was fighting for GV2 flap WR I had one replay desynch after falling four times — I thought the race was short enough to allow four PJ fails before trying a successful last one and get a decent replay of it, and it turned to be a desynch one after DK landed on the track after the third or fourth fail, can't exactly remember.

Has this ever happened to anyone on a GV track? Because I just had exactly the same problem on GV3 after two PJ fails only (laps 2 and 3), thinking naively this was not a problem to keep driving to get a f-lap in the two last laps, then get a replay of it if I managed to do it.

Now it's a real problem since I got a PR in lap 4. Well, a "big" PR. Smiley
