I know this comes pretty late but you actually can get Zipper right after unlocking Platinum Cup. Pest Control can collect both the stars in Toytanic 1 and Musem 1. I have no idea if Zipper would save alot of time seeing as you would trade Adeon's stability and top notch acceleration for Zipper's minorly increased top speed. With this we could have two routes for 100% depending on which car you prefer/which car turns out to be faster.

Edit: Pest Control could be the real MVP because you can just skip Zipper alltogether and get access to Toyeca with Pest Control unlocked. The setups for the stars are a bit specific but all the Platinum Cup stars are doable for Pest Control meaning you can save one instance of menuing by skipping [Platinum Cup Races /w Adeon -> Panga] early on and doing everything with Toyeca lategame instead.

Video of getting the stars with Pest Control:

I don't think the idea itself died. It's just that this game isn't being ran by a huge community which results in there being less stuff implemented.

Sounds good. But it seems like I still have some catching up to do when it comes to skill. :D Zipper would be good indeed but not being able to get it is why I skipped straight to Panga -> Toyeca. I tried to use Bertha instead of R6 but I don't think it's faster. It could be safer though seeing as Bertha has a lot more weight and is less bouncy/jumpy in general.

Seeing as 100% is now officially a thing I want to open a discussion about the way to go about it. I've sat down for a bit and tried to come up with the most optimal route for the run. Here's the gist of it:

ReVolt 100% Speedrun Route v1

Practice Stars Bronze Cup -> Aquasonic Bronze Cup /w Aquasonic Practice Stars Silver Cup -> R6 Turbo Silver Cup /w R6 Turbo Gold Cup /w R6 Turbo -> Adeon Platinum Cup Races /w Adeon -> Panga Platinum Cup Practice Stars /w Panga -> Toyeca Platinum Cup /w Toyeca Remaining sinlge races + practice stars /w Toyeca Time trials x3 (N,R,M) /wToyeca Stunt Arena /w Panga + Toyeca (I'm unable to get the star on the arch of the halfpipe with Panga lul)

The main goal of this route is to get the best cars available at each stage of the game as early as possible. Stunt arena and time trials are interchangable. I have also completed my first run of this category (it's pretty terrible so I won't upload it) but here are the splits. https://splits.io/zb2

The run took me 2:21.00 to complete. I think low 2:00:00 is possible, not too sure about the sub yet. Got any suggestions? Let us discuss how we can push the category.

Updated Route (as of 18.11.2018)

Practice Stars Bronze Cup -> Aquasonic Bronze Cup /w Aquasonic Practice Stars Silver Cup -> R6 Turbo Silver Cup /w R6 Turbo Gold Cup /w R6 Turbo -> Pest Control Platinum Cup Practice Stars /w Pest Control -> Toyeca Platinum Cup /w Toyeca Sinlge races + remaini Practice Stars /w Toyeca Time trials x3 (N,R,M) /wToyeca Stunt Arena /w Panga + Toyeca

Ah okay I see. If they aren't listing FLaps (Fastest Laps) we could introduce Flap leaderboards. When we're already adding FLaps we might as well think about which format we should go about with races. In my opinion the best standard to measure race records is either 3 laps or 5 laps.

@Ewil That's exactly what I was talking about. Sadly I can't see the records (probably because I don't have an account there) but I think the existence of those leaderboards would make IT ladders on here redundant.

Lovely. Now it's time to get the best route down. Also I'd say we could leave indiv levels out because there should be time trial leaderboards out there somewhere.

I wouldn't call it an advantage. It's a two sided blade. The fact that the AI is in your neck at some times can screw you over yes. But the same thing can help you get a faster time. (mainly lucky firework/waterbomb boosts if you stick the landing or them pushing you in front of them when they have a battery running)

Yeah the AI is pretty good on 1207. But I also feel like the physics are somewhat different. It's just a feeling though, most of the stuff I usually do doesn't work as well as it should. That could also be my imagination though.

Looking at Zauf's most recent run (congrats on the sub btw) it looks like Zauf is using v1.10. I just installed patch 1207 for Re-Volt which adds compatability with Win10, a functioning soundtrack for all tracks and 1080p support. Seeing as there are so many advantages to 1207 I think it's ok to use this patch seeing as the gameplay is exactly the same. Same for the (nearly nonexistent) loadtimes.

Try running it via Wolf Launcher. I'll send you a link to the program, works like a charm for me on Win10. Even though the camera and the victory screen (where the cars are bouncing) are a bit buggy. But it's nothing that impacts the gameplay itself.

Edit: Nevermind, seems as messages aren't a thing here. Google "WolfR4 Revolt" and it should be the first hit on Google.

Seeing as Re-Volt is one of my childhood loves and being interested in running it now, I wonder why there's only the All cups category. Wouldn't 100% (All Cups, all cars, stunt arena, all mirror/reverse unlock) not be interesting aswell? I mean the stunt arena is quite annoying and could be pretty RNG dependant, but so are the normal races (NPC items, lines etc.).
