okay this is the last one.
Movie Goals:
- Uses Bizhawk 2.9.1 (BSNESV115+)
- Aims for Fastest Completion
- Abuses Programming Errors
- Heavy RNG Manipulation
- Uses Hardest Difficulty
- Uses an In-Game Password (already stored in memory)
- Uses Soft Resets
- Clever Use of Ending Input Early Stylistic Choice
-
Beats previous movie by 00:10.58
-
Race Times
- Los Vegas: 1:51.06
- Los Angeles: 30.23
- New York: 1:40.75
- San Francisco: 2:02.86 (slower IGT/Less Input to save time)
-
Travel to Any Country
- Travel to Any Country is a developer intended way to travel from the start of the game to the end using a stored password in memory to access its content. The game has multiple different passwords, some known and some hidden. This password is to skip to The United States allows the player to only play the last 4 race to beat the game. The game initially has 64 tracks, that of which 61 1/2 are skipped to obtain victory. The Password is: 3V53-<GPG-V<34-2H2TP-HDC33
Why the Fully Stocked Car?
- Unlike the movie for demonstration purposes, this movie aims to beat the game in the shortest amount of time possible aka Fastest Completion. The fully stocked car allows maximum speed gain in the shortest amount of time possible.
Car Details:
- Engine Class: 4
- Tire Class: Wet 4
- Tire Class: Dry 0
- Gearbox Class: 4
- Nitro Class: 3 (later upgraded to 4)
- 4 = bottom right of each Class
What is so special about this? I thought this was humanly doable.
- Well in that regard yes, in the short answer, no. Why not? Well, RNG has to be manipulated on a frame for 1/60th of a second that of which each individual frames must follow a sequence of inputs nearly impossible for humans to accomplish. If a certain RNG pattern lands on the 4th frame of the Start press that follows, it must be pressed on the 4th frame, same with the 3rd, 2nd, and 1st possible frame prior and any other frames after.
What is this glitch I see on Race #2?
- Race 2's glitch is what is called a "wall glitch" in the game's memory their certain flags that need to occur in a short amount of time, and if the rendered position is considered too far out of bounds the region of the wall gets its flag set to the "finish the race" position, in this case 1st. Not all walls and position act the same, some require special setups and this one requires precise timing, speed and position. This glitch was initially found by a community member by Yoschimidstu
