Kirby Air Ride (GC)

Rookie DF reportin' f'dudy, sir.

Yeah, I need to go through it more and stuff.

And I didn't go into the second cave because it would take multiple rams to get through, while the first one the double boost gave me enough power to burst through the first one.

But Slick Star is useless. The only possible solution to why they put it in there is to give players a challenge.

IIRC: A boost from the Rocket Star should make it through.

I'm positive wheel makes it through.

Rookie DF reportin' f'dudy, sir.

That would make sense. *goes to test*

The Rocket's boost works.

TheMG2

And the winner is Rocket Star! The wall put up a good fight, but in the end, it lost.

So yeah, that could help a lot.

Rookie DF reportin' f'dudy, sir.

For me the winner is Turbo Star so far, have the best time on that right now. I need to like map out where I need to boost and stuff.

For right now, maybe, but if you don't get good at Rocket Star, chances are, you won't get as good a time as on cyberscore.

I know, that's why I need to get used to it. DX

Under a minute each lap....floop. DX

Got a 1:24 lap on Rocket last night. How the fleep do they shave off a half a minute....and no videos?!?

TheMG2

They probably swallow multiple enemies to get wheel off of the copy chance wheel.

LOL, I bet you went into this thinking, "Peekoh is annoying, lets try a luck free game."

Speaking of which, which should we allow runs for. Time Attack is a given. Drag Races and Vs. King Dedede are obvious. Single Race? Free Run (obviously not for city trial)?

DragonFang

Rookie DF reportin' f'dudy, sir.

My mind is an open book to you. o.o''

Free Run should be allowed. We just need to figure out if the lap has to be the first one or if you can have the speed boost from the previous lap with you.

Oh yes, CT free run should be allowed X9

TheMG2

2010-08-22 04:10:52 pm

Actually, I just went through nearly all the possible categories. (Unless a speedrun of air glider or high jump where you fall as fast as possible is allowed, which, BTW: it shouldn't)

I'm not sure how Free Run should go. Maybe two seperate categories? Best first lap and best lap?

DragonFang

2010-08-22 04:29:38 pm

Rookie DF reportin' f'dudy, sir.

That sounds good, though it may be a bit confusing to put in a chart of some sort.

And yeah, some things just shouldn't be allowed.

I really need to physically map out where to use boosts/get Wheel. >:/

If the copy chance wheel works like it does on the platforming kirby games, it isn't totally random. Absorbing certain enemies will get you certain copy chance wheels. So it is a matter of timing.

Ugh...so lazy....

Been slowly getting better times on Checkered Knights (nothing noteable though)....I wish there was a reference video that I could look at.
Curse you, Youtube community, for the lack of KAR vids. Curses.

I might be interested in joining the competition here (if there still is any). I completely love this game. Just wondering if you're still working on it at all.

Oh, and a comment about "categories." The only thing that makes any sense to me is to have race and lap times (race probably meaning time attack w/ recommended number of laps) for each air ride course. Nothing else in the game really makes sense to run, and this way is both simple and comprehensive. Besides, this is how every other racing game on the site has been done.

I started doing this. Time Attack all stages but the bonus stage can do in about 24 mins after 4-5 tries.
Using only the standard star.

Anyone ever thought about running a full City Trial check box? I've been looking into it, and I think it would be doable with 2 people, I estimate around 5 hours. Run the stadiums and then rely on RNG for the City Trial events. Needless to say, that's a lot of RNG, but hey, that's half the fun.

Stormbril

I've actually been thinking of doing a City Trail full check box run as well. It'd be definitely fun, though I agree, 2 people would make it far easier to do.

I'd been thinking about doing it too for a while, but it's just too unpredictable to route and have consistency in runs. I don't know anyone who'd be willing to actually run the game with me or would have the time to, so I wouldn't be able to do much in the co-op department. However I love this game to death and if other people were seriously willing to do City Trial checkbox runs, hey, I'd be all for it and would do it too.

0xwas has done multiple City Trial Checkbox runs. In fact he's even done a handful of fullgame checkbox runs. You can find him on twitch.tv/0xwas

damon07

2014-07-05 04:32:28 pm

I was aware of 0xwas's City Trial runs but he hasn't done it in a while, so I figured he was was pretty much done with it. However, his recorded run is still very helpful. I just wouldn't really want to start doing runs without other people doing it with me (online, not taking about co-op). So yeah again, if other people want to start running City Trial checkboxes, that'd be great. I've been looking into it a bit.

Is there a list of all the best times on Time Attack yet?
I've been getting my best times with Wagon star, except for fantasy meadows, valley, and nebula
