Q: When does time start and end?
A: Time starts after confirming your stance when choosing your character. Time ends when you cross the line of the final course, which is Alaska.
Q: For IL runs, can I use any character?
A: Yes you can. All you need to do is get from start to finish as quickly as possible.
Q: Why can't I use my IL runs when I do them through scenario mode?
A: In scenario mode you must do 75% of the tricks to progress and tricks will ALWAYS slow you down. Plus for this game each course is accessible individually and you can get much faster times outside of scenario mode.
Q: Why only have seven of the ten courses for IL runs?
A: Russia is a one jump and Canada and the second USA courses are halfpipes. These are trick focused and you gain nothing by doing them quickly. Hence no IL runs count for those courses.
Q: I just finished a scenario mode and I faced one set of characters but played again and faced another set of characters. Does that effect my run in any way?
A: Yes but it's for the better! The slowest run I've had was when I faced Jack in Japan and Argentina. The best run to get would be to face either Diachi or Majag as they challenge you on shorter courses. It doesn't matter who you face in the end as the run can still qualify.
