I know some of us on the forums are lucky enough to have Mario Kart on the Wii or know people with the Game, so i figured, for a little bit of fun. Why not do some Gameaday time trials.(no actual prizes can be won)
Basically, i will start with a track and within the next 24 hours, post your best LAP AND TOTAL CIRCUIT TIME of that track, then the next poster after the winner can name a new track to try it on.

Now i know you could cheat if you want to but i think the winner should submit picture evidence! or i know a lot of you have got each others FC and you should be able to see the time.

Please note that the best Lap time and Best Total time are underline, in bold and italic
The League works like this:
1st place gets 4 points, 2nd place gets 2 and 3rd place gets 1
There is a league for both total time on the track and an individual Lap, so make sure you post both!


The Third Track - We need to ensure that some people start stealing points for circuit time, or else it will be a 3 man race for 1st place! Good luck

Hmph! I usually use DK as the heavy characters have the highest top speed. Generally go over the speed jump to the left of the water each lap, but it does mean you have to use your mushroom on laps 1 & 3 there, as you land in the water.

Might have to try your route tonight.

Yay! A respectable time!

I used a bike, and got 01:29:069 with a lap time of 00:29:815

Would be better but I had to break = stupid duck things

EDIT: Tried once more, and got 01:28:315 with a lap time of 00:29:018 so I'm not last, take that YH :P and now I can sleep :)

Cheers Emmie, but I'm not sure it will help. I just used all three mushrooms in one lap, and somehow still only managed a 00:30:012

This is why I don't go online on games =D

On Beach beach i tend to - on the first lap go to the right off the big bit of water, then on the second lap go left to hit the speed boost then back to the right for the third lap, normally use mushrooms on 2nd or 3rd lap

But i am now starting to use Heavy characters so this will either Help or Hinder!

will post my score in a bit when i get home

Shaved a bit more off, 01:34:285 with a lap time of 00:30:258

As far as I can see, I'm taking the exact same route as the world champ. I'm gonna try a bike as well then.

I'll have another go at this tonight. Both the tracks suggested are fine by me for other challenges.

I like Luigi's circuit, we will have to do that track after Coconut Mall.

Should get some good times on it

Please see original post for current Data - Grandprix your doing well, and remember you should be able to use each other's Friend Codes to confirm their score.

But none of us would cheat, where is the fun in that!
