This game is hard and I can't get first place in any of the races, so this is a formal request to either remove the first place requirement from the Grand Prix category, or make another category where first place is not required.
The reason all first places are required is because inherently getting anything less than first place is very slow.
Some tips:
Use the A+B boost at the start of the race; use drift boosts where safe, avoid hitting things by using your brakes, and practice in time trial mode and get your times down as much as possible.
That said, I'll remove the requirement to give the game a little bit of new life with a new runner. Thanks for your interest in Aerogauge, and best of luck.
I don't care about having a slow time; I just wanna play. Thank you for removing the requirement.
Haven't played in quite a while but wouldn't this make it so you could retire at Chinatown Jam and still win the Grand Prix? Assuming you got first in all previous tracks. That'd save a lot of time but, it'd make more sense to make sure the whole track is played lol
Per the rules, my friend:
"You must finish all races in a difficulty cup; i.e, you cannot retire/quit a race and must finish all laps of the race."
The only part that's allowed is to retire after finishing at least one qualifying lap of each circuit, but you can't quit/retire during a race.
Got it, sorry it's been like 8 years since I've attempted to run this lol. I'm considering picking it up again though
