sooo I just found out that this game was finally added to src after I submitted this game a year ago and honestly I don't know what to say. I'm shocked that I got an email saying this was added after so long. I don't know what happened to the point where it took them a year to get to it I thought it was rejected but better later than never I guess. The thing is the hype to run this game died a LOOONG TIME AGO in my opinion and I have not played it since last year. I had categories planned out but since it never got accepted until now I kinda forgot my plans for this game. I really have no interest in doing anything with this game until there are other people out there that show they are interested too.
So this is your chance right here! If you're reading this and would like to run it or have a run already, let me know and reply to this with some category ideas/your run and I will add the category when I have the time
(EDIT: Also it seems like the game has changed a lot compared to when I first ran it. More obstacles have been added meaning I cannot even submit my old run because it would be unfair to everyone else)
Good to see interest. No one replied with any category ideas though, so I guess later I will make a golden cart category as thats the only one I had in mind. I would make a grey cart category, but once you beat the game once without dying it goes away forever and you get the golden cart. I guess I can group them together and it would be up to the runner to unlock the golden cart to get the timesave with it. (and yes there is a difference between golden and grey cart. golden cart speeds up and slows down faster)
I do have an update: I got in contact with the dev of the game on twitter and suggested an update to the game where you can change between your unlocked carts and the gamepass carts. They said it was an interesting idea and they would consider doing it. Big win for us speedrunners if they do it, allows us to change between golden and grey cart easier and we can make them separate categories. For now I will do like I said and just make an any% category where both the grey cart and golden cart will be accepted. No gamepass carts like the race and hacker cart as those have a huge advantage obviously. Those can be its own category. I will try to get around to that tomorrow, I apologize to everyone waiting
Any% is now up, no gamepass carts allowed or improved stability gamepass allowed as I want to keep it fair for everyone and having people buy gamepasses is an unfair advantage. If there is a demand I can make it a separate category. Same thing with the gamepass carts. Make sure to read the rules for more info
HUGE NEWS!!! The update that I suggested to the dev on twitter actually happened and now you can choose different carts you have unlocked! This means now I can make grey and golden cart (and all the other carts) its own subcategories! I will get to that when I can but for now you can submit your runs under the current Any% category and I will regroup the run to the appropriate category when I get around to making them
Are the gamepass carts going to be a seperate category? I'd really like to use them
Oh yeah of course! I just haven't gotten around to it yet. Feel free to do your gamepass cart run and submit it under Any% for now if I still haven't added it. I will regroup it to the appropriate category when I see it. All the same rules from Any% would apply to gamepass cart runs
Will rainbow cart be accepted as a category if I submit a run for it with the new update? I have a 16.85 min completion on the old ver of the game but I haven't beat the new one.
I never actually unlocked the rainbow cart so idk if there is any speed difference with it at all. Is it any different compared to the other carts besides the color? If it is, I will add it as a sub category.
I think it's faster accel and has better breaks but I'm not sure exactly. It's shown as 2.1 while the golden cart is shown as 1.3 and the gray as 0.9 which may mean something, but I can test it against the golden if you want.
I'm not sure if this is sufficient enough but I just tested holding W on a short space of track and timed how long it took to accel to 30 speed. The gold cart took around 2 seconds longer.
Yeah I think that shows enough that there is a speed difference. I'll add it as a sub category later good luck with your run!
