Do you think Slicks have potential in this track ? It looks like most of the turns at the beginning are hard to negotiate properly with them. I definitely couldn't do shit when I tried them out.

The stat change from Bowser + Slicks -> Bowser + Slim is pretty much the same as Bowser + Slim -> Rosa + Slicks. But I'm pretty sure Bowser + Slim is probably the fastest choice unless Slick can gain enough in sections 2 and 3.

I only use Rosa cause that's what I did in MKW.

rMC is only track I've time trialed much so far
Just played it again for a few hours, my best is 1:27:5xx, my best splits are 30.103/28.507/28.482 = 1:27:0xx

It's weird, I can very often get within .5-.6 of WR pace lap 1, but always drop about a second on laps 2 and 3.  I make more mistakes lap 2 but I'm surprised I've not put together a better split at least once...  There are probably loads of intricacies I'm missing, I don't know

I'm torn between playing all the tracks so I can upload to the PP or keep trying on this track where I have my best chance of a top 10.  Although I'm still not that near top 10, and it's a moving target  

First serious PR for me, just completing my timeset with one or second tries, spend a few more tries here, as this seems to be a good start to learn all the hopping

rMC: 1'27"622 Coins 8-1-1 (missed a coin in lap 1)

Splits: 30"273 - 28"874 - 28"475

I hate this game. Missed a boost panel section 3 and still PR'd...
MW - 1:48.100 w/ Rosa + Slicks

Didn't feel as good as the other run. Sigh.

24.366 | 46.500 | 37.150

Horrible section 1. But personal best section 3 split.

rDP3 1:20:239 (27.725/26.225/26.289)

First lap was .8 of best split. Second lap was best split by miles. Third lap was .1 off best.

Horrible, horrible run. Rammed the wall at section 1 sc. Section 2 was decent. Hit a slalom wall section 3. PR'd by managing to do the new hop strat in section 3...making this 4th WW at the time.

MW - 1:47.516 - Bowser, S Coupe, C Slick, Cloud
24.650 | 46.150 | 36.716

-EDIT-
Back to using Rosalina! Still have an awful section 1 cause fail sc. An okay section 2. The great section 3 baffles me though, since I missed the boost pads while hopping.

Lap 2: 46.134
Lap 3: 36.600

This is 3rd ww. I'm not good at the hopping down the hill and so i went the safe way and did it without the hopping, as I was about .3ish ahead after the last corner. It's amazing how much time you save by doing that hop thing lol.

Had a quick go at MKS and got 1:38:7 something, #5

Kept getting 1:39:7-9xx then all of a sudden PRed by :7 lel.

Since I suck at MW now. I decided to play the only other track I TT'd.
But with this time, I guess I can't play it anymore, even though I only improved by 0.020. It's not even a good run either. -_-

That lap 1 split is very good, lap 2 is awful and lap 3 is amazing for me but still way down on WR pace (whereas lap 1 isn't...).  I'm not very good at turn 1 and turn 2 on laps 2 and 3, and I just seem to struggle to put together a lap 2 and 3 in general

MKS: 01:44.168

Horrible run, but it's one my first PRs :/

DP3 1′16″542 ″1xx – ″17x – ″2xx

fucking terrible, I think I hit a wall last lap or something

1′16″367 ″111 – ″054 – ″202 7-1-0

I was ahead of WR starting lap 3, but I forget where I had a giant fail and it turned into crap

1′16″323 ″1xx – ″1xx – ″05x

consistent run, but lap 2 was bad… and I think I got 0/3 mystery boosts after underwater turn, no luck

1′16″230 ″149 – ″968 – ″113

lap 3… I already started losing time at the hop tech after finish line, and then I lost a fuckload after the underwater turn, not sure if it was terrible or Jay’s ghost simply gets a fantastic mystery boost there
