Help me with my new idea for something special
01/13/18 at 00:51:16  
Hey guys, it's me again here.

As you all might know, I recently stopped the challenges because I felt that they weren't played as much as I wanted. Looking back now, that feels like a mistake there and I want to make up for it.
So I've got another unique idea. One that I can't just stop if I think the attendance is too low, and one that you guys can help me with!

It's called: '3laps and flaps with a TWIST'

The idea is that each 3lap and flap has a unique twist, whether it be a certain char/kart combo, a coinless or get-all-coins challenge, a backwards one or one that's themed to the track.
But I'm not sure if my ideas are great. I want to hear what you guys think about my ideas and, if you have better ideas, tell me what you'd like to see instead.

So here's how it's planned:
Each day I'll show you my 3laps and flaps with a twist for a certain cup. There's eight cups so after eight days I'm done with this thread and I'll make a new thread for the actual competition (if you guys want that).

These are the 3lap and flap ideas for the Mushroom Cup today:
TC 3lap: Can only use shrooms in lap 1.
TC flap: Restricted to use the glider.
DH 3lap: At least 5 boost panels each lap.
DH flap: Hit a cow in your run.
CCL 3lap: Shroomless. ---
CCL 3lap open for suggestions!
CCL flap: Use HQ and the Bumble V.
SGB 3lap: Ride on top of the bazaar each lap.
SGB flap: Use Gold tires and Shy Guy.

Have fun trying them and be sure to notify me of any bad/boring challenges and/or your own suggestions!  Wink

Hey again guys,

so no one wanted to help me. So sad...  Smiley

Anyways here's my ideas for the Flower Cup. Please just test them out a bit and if you got better suggestions, suggest them!

WL 3lap: Backwards!
WL flap: The third part is your flap time and you have to go around the lighthouse.
MC 3lap: Mario + Standard.
MC flap: Eleking's pasta strat and my insanely difficult rampcut.
Suggestion by Martijn: 5 SMT's in one lap (maybe 7? Then it'd be actually challenging)
MP 3lap: Coinless!
MP flap: Get every coin!
RRM 3lap: Lap 2 slower than lap 1 and lap 3 slower than lap 2.
RRM flap: No boost panels on final section (apart from the last one)

That's cutting the turn right before the mushroom, but also cutting the ramp on the left side.
Difficulty insane but it's possible. Want to see if anyone could even get a time  Cheesy

I have to say that I don't really like those, twists like shroomless runs (which already have their own competition), coinless runs, "grab all coins" runs, and playing with a different combo are some of the most unoriginal possible challenges... However, I kinda like the "hit a goat" one in DH, maybe you could combine this with the "hit 5 boost panels a lap" one and you'd get something pretty cool, I'd even suggest to have more goats to hit.

I agree with shroomless runs, I'm gonna think for different twists for those definitely.
About the 'coinless' and 'grab all coins' ones, I'm often not sure what other twists to have, and honestly it should be a bit balanced as well. We can't have all challenges be like 'hit 1000 goats' because such challenges wouldn't rely on skill that much anymore.

Also, combining the 'hit a goat' and 5 boost panels sounds good probably. (but not more goats) Then what would you suggest the DH 3lap be instead?

Well, I was thinking about doing the whole thing in a 3laps run actually Tongue

Also, what about something like getting the worst possible lap in a 3laps run whose time can't exceed something? Not sure if I'm being clear, lol.

You mean like: "You have 5 minutes max. for completing 3 laps on DH. Try to get the slowest single lap possible while still finishing in 5 minutes".
Here's why it doesn't work:
You'd just drive the first two laps as fast as possible. Then you can wait at the finish line and just before the timer reaches 5 minutes you cross it.
Nah, I'm not including this unfortunately. Nice idea though, might see how else this could work.

Edit: Maybe if you'd say that the first or second lap needs to be that slowest lap. Then you can't wait at the finish line. But then again it also relies on timing it to 5 minutes and I don't think it'll be that interesting to try honestly.


No, that's not how it works, because COINS. If you wanna be competitive, you'd have to make your first lap as slow as possible while grabbing 10 coins, and then drive as fast as possible. I think this could be really fun actually.

Hey guys, I'm here again with an update!

First, let's see what twists have changed:
DH 3lap: Your first lap should be as slow as possible while still finishing 3 laps within 3 minutes. (suggested by Kleenex)
DH flap: Use 6 boost panels and hit at least one goat. (suggested by Kleenex)
CCL 3lap: Nothing! SEND YOUR SUGGESTIONS!
MC flap: 8 SMT's in one lap. (suggested by Martijn)

Anyways, let's get to the twists that I came up with for the Star Cup tracks:
PPS 3lap: Different amount of shrooms each lap (so 2, 1 and 0)
PPS flap: Turn around each Piranha Plant.
WS 3lap: Wario and the Tiny Tug.
WS flap: Can't use the R button.
NBC 3lap: Backwards!
NBC flap: Can't cut off anything.
MW 3lap: Can't drive through the castle.
MW flap: Can't use ramps. (bumps are allowed)

IIRC, Cros suggested NBC 3lap to be coinless and NBC flap to be backwards, but as Kleenex doesn't seem to like 'coin' things as twists I'm keeping my own choice here but of course cros' idea can be brought up for further discussion.

Contribute! If you want to

I'm 99% sure it wasn't me who suggested those, although I do like the backwards flap idea. I'll be doing some of these after I get a sub 2:01 BC lol

CCL? Are you serious? This combination is just terrible and much slower for water tracks, It's impossible to get a WR with this.

Back into the boost panel before the glider to start the flap, timer stops when you go out of bounds at glider section

This is not completely backwards.
Someone has to pass the big gap of the glider to make it legit.
