Today I have finished to update all the charts of Ermii Kart DS! The most important change is that all the tracks from Alpha 2014 have been added, but let's see what are the changes in full details:
Full Game Leaderboards - Track Speedruns / Grand Prix Runs
All Custom Tracks and new speedrunning rule
Much like for CTGP Nitro... Thanks to Pakje Yoghurt, I have decided to add this section with a new unordinary rule: the timer can be paused when the last race of the row of "in order" tracks is finished and restarted when a new row of tracks is started. Pretty much, to avoid going through the placeholder tracks, you will be allowed to go to VS. mode, select the usual settings and select the row of tracks you have to play before going through the placeholder tracks, stop the timer once you finish the last race before the placeholder tracks, start another session of VS. mode and restart the timer once you selected the new row of tracks. This is useful for runs done in Alpha 2014, which now have been added to the leaderboards. The same applies to the "Nitro Custom Tracks" and "Retro Custom Tracks" speedruns. Have fun playing this category!
Version-variable for all the cups present in both versions
To have less leaderboards, I decided to make a variable for the Alpha 2014 and Legacy Edition versions of the same cup. The same applies to the "Nitro Custom Tracks" and "Retro Custom Tracks" speedruns. The cups where this applies are:
- Mushroom Cup
- Flower Cup
- Shell Cup
- Banana Cup
The rest of the cups cannot be completed in Grand Prix, due to tracks crashing or not able to be completed.
Level Leaderboard - Time Trials Runs
Created a variable for some tracks.
A small amount of tracks changed from version Alpha 2014 to Legacy Edition. The tracks are:
- Rockside River
- Yawshi Circuit
- Rocky Hills
- Heaven & Hell
- Haunted Woods
- DKR Ancient Lake
- GBA Bowser Castle 1
- MK0 Luigi's Mansion 2
- SNES Bowser Castle 1
- SNES Rainbow Road
Added all the tracks which are present only in the Alpha 2014 version.
The new tracks are:
- Ermelber Circuit 1 (Non-PRB/PRB)
- Rezway Reborn (Non-PRB/PRB)
- Kartville (Non-PRB/PRB)
- Shrek Pinball (Non-PRB)
- Volcano Beach Reborn (Non-PRB/PRB)
- Chippy Cheapway (Non-PRB/PRB) (only flap seems possible)
- Ermelber Circuit DX (Non-PRB/PRB)
- GBA Mario Circuit (Non-PRB/PRB)
- N64 Mario Raceway (Non-PRB/PRB)
- SNES Mario Circuit 2 (Non-PRB/PRB)
- N64 Kalimari Desert (Non-PRB/PRB)
Guides & Resources Updated
I have added a proper guide to patch and get the Legacy Edition, Ghosts Enabled and Alpha 2014 versions of the game. Same goes for resources, where the download links for the new version have been added, along with a save file that has no data in Time Trials mode, very useful to do Time Trials runs.
I'm planning to update the charts once again to include the Beta 1-R and Beta 1-S versions of EKDS. Good luck with the Alpha 2014 tracks! Just know that all the BKTs I've set are completely free, as you can tell from the fact I've done them in emulator, lol.
Hello karters, Pika here. I just wanted to say that now you do not have to wonder "where do I have to put my time?". Why? Well, I simply removed the In-game Timer field, meaning that there is only 1 Timer field to fill. Pretty nice, right? That's really it though, nothing else new. So yeah, from
