I have decided to put my current run on hold because I think I should start off with something small like this game. Besides, I bet my sister I could not beat the game in 18 minutes or less, so extra motivation to finish it uder 18 minutes. Anyway, here is a test run of the first 2 races. So, what do you think? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The game is very questionable, and your run is unquestionably bad. Test runs should raise interest, not flatten it. As a favor to you, I'll try to speed it up to see how interesting it is.

In your run, I do see some mistakes. 1. On the last turn (first lap) when you grab the yellow star, you go straight through the grass. A TAS would want to go over the grass instead of through it. Going through the grass negates a small chunk of the yellow star through loss of speed and having to accelerate again even with the help of the power up. 2. On the turns on which you use the green star to go over the grass. on two of them you land on the grass for a few frames, but just enough to slow down Herbie. If you jump when you have been on the grass for 1 frame: A) You have not been on the grass long enough for the game to slow you down. B) You negate the penalty at the end of the jump.

His run was decent. I improved it 2 3/4 seconds. I do not grab 1 speed power-up, because doing so results in going too much out of control. The finish is reached only 5 frames faster, but I deliberately crash to slow down, so the after-race thing is reached much faster. I wonder if this game a hard-reset bug like Pokémon Red and Blue?

Its calibre as a game is also low - it's basically a less fun Mario Kart.
