NES Open Tournament Golf (3 course speedrun)
8 years ago
Ontario, Canada

Hello, recently Big Jon (gamej06) has put out a call for a NES Open Golf race of all 3 courses (you can find the bracket here: http://challonge.com/nesopen). I think that it should be a trackable entity, as it is perfect for racing, due to it mitigating some of the bad vs good RNG needed int he game, and it really relies more on consistency.

It will also have a lot of potential times to submit, as the tournament starts on Monday, and will have a LOT of matches, so those efforts may as well go towards something.

The rules we play under are:

  1. Timer starts when sign on US Hole 1 starts to fade (press A and your timer input at the same time)
  2. Once the ball falls into the hole on US Hole 18, you can reset, then menu load into the Japan course.
  3. Once the ball falls into the hole on Japan Hole 18, you can reset, then menu load into the UK course.
  4. Timer ends when the ball falls into the hole on UK Hole 18.

The current run times are around 30 to 31 minutes, though with a good round or two, it will definitely go sub-30. It is a run discipline to play, as it requires focus, fast thinking, and quick calculations, all with only some predictability!

If this is the wrong place to post this, apologies.

I also do not know who the moderator is for NES Open Golf (if any), and if there isn't one, I would gladly volunteer for the job.
