Hey Tim. Since you have been talking about Time Trials a Lot and Asking some tips and wich you should work on,I decided that Would just give a Few Helpfull Tips on Tracks and What ones you work on.
These are the Tracks That I think need the Most improvement,and some tips to Improve on them.
DK Snowboard Cross/DK Summit:Your Time of 2:03:124 I think needs some Improvement. Did you do the Double Gap Shortcut or Just the One Gap Shortcut? If you did Just The One Gap Shortcut,that is not that bad of a time. But you should Try to make the Double. My time with it is 1:56:xxx,The Double Helps improve the Time a lot. If you have trouble I would Reccomend Watching a Tutorial By TWD98 on that Shortcut. If you cant Find,I could link you.
Dry Dry Ruins: The average racer and get around 2:00 or so on this course. I dont have much to say on how to improve on this course,since I am not the best at it eathier. And the main shortcuts on this track can be Difficult,So I would not Go for them ( The Sand Hop,Wall Glitch,and Upper Sand Shortcut ). I would just focus on raceing a Clean Race with out mess ups. I would suggest useing your shroom at the Sand part just Before you hit the Finish each lap. I got 2:06: Easily with it and you will be able to too. Hope you Understand what I am talking about
GCN Walugi Stadium: 2:04 is Alright,but I would aim for agleast 2:02. I have nothing much to say about how to improve,Just if you have time,try to Focus on this track.
GBA Bowser Castle 3 ( Shortcut ): Kind of Like Walugi Stadium,I cant give that much of advice just if you have time,this is one of those tracks that you need to work on the Most.
Coconut Mall No Glitch: The time 2:04:401,needs a good amount of Improvement. I got 2:04:xxx Shroomless ( That is when I was Trying to Shroomless Top 10
) Most people should be able to get 2:01 or Lower. I dont know how to help you on this,Just try your Best to Improve on this one and it helps to watch the world Record Videos for how they do it.
N64 DK Jungle Parkway: If you have time,Try to Work on this Track. I would Suggest Useing a Medium or Light weight Character. Like Toadette and the MagikRuser or Daisy with the Moch Bike. But No worries,I am pretty bad at this track also
So in my Opinion I would focus on those tracks before you tried to Improve others. If you try hard you will get better at a Track and try to Time Trail on that track as much as you can untill you think you reached the best time that you think you can get. Hope this helps and gives you a Idea of some tracks to work on. But you dont have to worrie,Time Trials arent everything and you dont have to worrie over them. You are doing Fine
.Just thought I would do this for some Helpfull Opionions and to try to be a nice friend.
Good Job Tim.
Intense.
