I HATE Dino Dino Jungle with a burning passion
07/01/17 at 14:20:49

I really really hate DDJ and here's why. 1. So many bumps = loads of drops in speed 2. THE MINI SPEED BOOST BRIDGE SHORTCUT WHICH I ONLY END UP DOING RIGHT LIKE A FOURTH OF THE TIME 3. The turns in that stage (especially the one last hairpin near the very end of the track and the constant change in what is and isn't road = me going offroad a lot and losing seconds 4. THE MINI SPEED BOOST BRIDGE SHORTCUT 5. I have to carefully drive so that I don't go off a log and lose speed which isn't too hard at all but sometimes it can be extremely annoying 6. THE MINI FREAKING SPEED BOOST BRIDGE 7. The dinosaur which like #5 isn't a major problem but I hate when I'm doing fine and BAM! the dinosaur will swing it's head out right as I happen to be going down the bridge and just like that I'm half as fast as I was before and the one in the beginning is easier to avoid by a lot but when I somehow hit it I get frustrated because I don't get why the big fat thing has to be constantly moving around and causing me to hit it and swerve off to the side and lose any bit of speed I had 8. T H E M I N I S P E E D B O O S T B R I D G E 9. The track can be real thin or twisty which makes it really hard not to hit a will or a fence or geyser or log and a good example of an area with barely any time to react are the tunnels before and after the *cough mini speed boost bridge cough* where I have to make incomplete drifts to not hit the side walls 10. Listen I don't think most of the other ones are too bad just a little annoying but that little shortcut bridge is the bane of my existence. I'll be on lap 3 and have went across it just fine and then I'll go across it and at the tail end fall off barely and hit the side of the bridge and fall into the sea of hell. I almost never make the bridge which is the main reason I never visit DDJ especially for 3lap. Most of these are just because I'm not as familiar with the track as most other tracks atm but I just did some DDJ 3lap attempts to bring up my by far worst time on my sheet and 2 out of 3 of all my failures were on that thin speed boost bridge. I fall off that more than I do the entirety of rainbow road.

The blue dino has got nothing better to do I guess. I don't think DDJ should be counted as a track anymore. And to think Nintendo had the nerve to bring back that track in MK7 with the speed boost bridge still there? I might have to make Miyamoto "go away" if this happens again Smiley

. It's like I really try but I always get boned by the bridge. No matter how much care I put into a run. The pathetic part is I used to be able to do that shortcut just fine. I got worried that people would assume my least favorite track is DKM but it's not. It's my 2nd least favorite Tongue

. Can we jst replace DDJ with a second BP? Obviously Dennis cared the most so thank you Dennis for inspiring me to continue the thread Smiley

I really care about your opinion the most buddy.

I mean at least in the Double Dash version you can jsut drift agaisnt the walls but in 7 if t=you so much as put a finger on a wall your kart goes from sonic speed to 0 asap. Which means you gotta play the "can't touch the walls" game.

Hate to go off topic (well not really) but it seems the Baby Park lap and full time hit a stride back in March and once Pena got the 8:313 hype really died down for both categories in that track. Is there a chance that it will ever have such great competition again? I mean Goomba and Pena are the best 2 racers on that track...maybe one of you could try to bring the 7lap time down even a few milliseconds more if possible? If you don't then maybe the blue dino will? Could it use a modified GameCube controller? I mean I'd step up for the task but I'm kind of stuck in the 1:09 Zone right now so 1:02 is a little bit (very) distant at the moment.

No one goes for 7lap anymore because swag strat is complete AIDS even at top level. If you watched some of Goomba and Emo's streams you'll frequently see them restarting around the lap 2-5 mark. Runs are rarely finished when doing swag strat. Dropping an MT when doing swag strat costs .8-.9 or even a full second and warrants a restart 100% of the time. Also modified controllers are banned. I've tried swag strat for a few hours once and have gotten plenty of 9.6 (shroomless) lap 1s and some shroomless 9.1 or 9.2 lap 2/3/4/5/6s. BKS lap 1 is 9.3xx btw. I could probably get a high1:03/low1:04 w/ swag strat if I really tried, but it wouldn't really be worth it tbh.

ok hold on whats this, lemme go by this per sentence

>>No one goes for 7lap anymore because swag strat is complete AIDS even at top level.

no, I just don't feel like playing it, just like I haven't played LC or DDD or SL.

>>If you watched some of Goomba and Emo's streams you'll frequently see them restarting around the lap 2-5 mark.

news flash: people restart in time trials when they mess up

>>Runs are rarely finished when doing swag strat.

Same went for old 8MT strat, insanely hard to be consistent at because it was more optimized.

>>Dropping an MT when doing swag strat costs .8-.9 or even a full second and warrants a restart 100% of the time.

and so did it with the old strat, nothing new here. Ofc, it wouldn't cost a second but you'd still have to restart unless you're inconsistent and suddenly peaked

--

So in conclusion, is the strat harder? Yes. Is this the reason there hasn't been activity? Nope

I have similar opinions. I think MK as a series is split into 2 categories. Classic, and Modern. The classic games (SMK MK64 MSC MKDD!!) Have much slipperier controls, and are built around big turns, and are alot more forgiving with going off road. Hitting the R button in these games, won't give you a drift, but more a power slide. The tracks, as a consequence, are more open, and there's almost never a narrow road. This is where Dino Dino Jungle PISSES ME THE FUCK OFF.

Try playing DDJ in MK7, and it's all good. The modern games (MKDS MKW MK7 MK8 MK8D) all have much tighter control, and give the drift, which makes tight turns, a piece of cake, but as a consequence, the tracks are alot more restrictive, as to offer even a remote challenge. DDJ feels more like it was designed for MK7, than it was MKDD!! Want an example? THE FUCKING BRIDGE. This FUCKING bridge, is so GODAMN narrow, that offers almost NO room for error! It's so twisty, and turny, and because of this games more item based gameplay, and the fact that there will 7 OTHER RACERS slipping, and sliding, and havin' a gay ol' time all over the bridge, means, that you WILL get hit by a shell and die, get crashed into and die, or slip off the bridge and die!

Items are being thrown ALL the time, and if you slide across that big turn after the bridge, you can get hit, and bounce DIRECTLY INTO THE FUCKING PIT. WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA?

This track is arse.
