Time starts at 17:01 in the video.
Performed using Stella 6.7 on August 12, 2024.
Estimated time spent on game: 20 Hours (7 hours to reach 29.61 seconds)
As mentioned above, it took about 7 hours for me to reach 29.61 seconds. I have spent about an extra 13 hours trying to tie the WR of 29.59 seconds, but to no avail. I have had over 30+ 29.61 second runs and I just haven't been able to break through to tie the 29.59 WR. It is both frustrating and disappointing, to be so close, but not quite reach the mark, but it is a learning experience for me. I will move on to other games, since I spent way more time than I had planned on this game. I may revisit this game in the future, if I am motivated to, but probably not anytime soon.
As far as where I think I might be missing the extra .02 second, it might be the last oil slick before the end of the race. Maybe I'm pressing the up direction too late (and pressing it too early doesn't seem to work, either).
Any feedback would be great.
Thanks.
