A competition. Pretty self-explanatory  Time yourself, from the opening cutscene to the closing celebration. See how fast you can go. I'll attempt one later tonight. |

tape it and send it to SDA!
I had contemplated doing one at one time, perhaps I may get around to it after all;)

A bunch of us at GameFAQs do this every year at Christmas time. I think I got really close to the 2 hour mark, maybe 2:07 or something.

I did a warmup run last night, refreshed my memory of all the boss races and the silver coin locations. I think I got around 3 hours but it was really bad. I will try for real tonight  |

Yeah, I believe that the 2:0x run was my 2nd try; I think I got something like 2:47 the first run.

How do you feel about your 2:0x run? Did you make any mistakes that can be improved on?

Definitely. I didn't do very many record strats, basically just wanted a good solid time. Under 2 hours is definitely possible.

I finished my speedrun. Time was 2 hours 18 minutes. Seemed pretty solid to me, a few minor mistakes. Then again, I suck  High point was I only had to restart once My strat was pretty simple; collect all the "extra" baloons floating around the map, then do all the areas in order. |

Yeah, we are a LONG way from optimizing it. Here is my strat in a nutshell. (How did my strat get into this nutshell?)
Begin, do all of Dino Domain, with the Challenge last. Do all of Snowflake Mountain, Challenge last. Go back to Taj and race him all three times, then change into a plane and get the 3 balloons in the Overworld that are still there. Do all of Sherbet Island and Dragon Forest. (Very small challenge is to get the key for the Challenge on Boulder Canyon while still finishing first. As an added challenge, try this on the Silver Coin race.) Beat Wizpig, watch the insufferably long cinema. Go down to FFL, and beat the game.
Regardless, grats on your time. I'm going to go make a run right now.

Begin, do all of Dino Domain, with the Challenge last. Do all of Snowflake Mountain, Challenge last. Go back to Taj and race him all three times, then change into a plane and get the 3 balloons in the Overworld that are still there. I don't think that strat will work. You need at least 3 balloons to get through all of Dino Domain without leaving and coming back. Here are the balloon requrements for each race: Ancient Lake: 1 balloon Fossil Canyon: 2 balloons Jungle Falls: 3 balloons Hot Top Volcano: 5 balloons Ancient Lake SCC: 6 balloons Fossil Canyon SCC: 7 balloons Jungle Falls SCC: 8 balloons Hot Top Volcano SCC: 10 balloons So you'd need at least 3 balloons from the overworld (the one in front of DD and two others since you can't race Taj yet) in order to get to Hot Top Volcano's Siver Coin Challenge with the minimum number of balloons. My strat is this: Begin the game, then immediately switch to the Plane. Circle counterclockwise around the overworld grabbing all 4 balloons in the overworld ending with the one in front of Dino Domain, then enter Dino Domain and complete all tasks there, ending with the T.T. challenge like mrguru's strat said. Then when you exit and Taj challenges you, do so and then switch back to the plane and head for Snowflake Mountain and complete all tasks. Then face Taj's next challenge, snag the balloon, then, still in your hovercraft, go to Sherbet Island and complete all tasks there. Then accept Taj's plane challenge, which will not only snag you another balloon but will also position you within touching distance of Dragon Forest. Complete all the tasks there, then go to the overworld and race Wizpig the first time. Then after the cinema scene, re-enter the game and head towards Future Fun Land and then just run it straight through. I can beat the game in a little bit over 2 and a half hours with this strat, but I'd love to see how fast a world-class player can do it. |
