What's more important. Playing N64 or rubbing it in when you beat me in the NES weekly challenges? Well you haven't touched your 64 in a long time..... I'm not a college student with lots of free time either. I get an hour or two of game play in too. If it's a game I enjoy I'll usually find a little more time. Otherwise why play these games when I get my teeth kicked in when I look at the high scores these guys put up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured youd spend that week trying to loop gradius 8 or 9 times on one life or something asinine like that. Rad racer 2 is a weak spot for me as far as racers go. Last couple levels give me a lot of trouble. @Gaia Gensouki is an expert in that one and will be the guy to beat if he gets involved. I beat it back in the day when I didnt know the turbo start option existed. Didnt seem to help me me when I started messing around with it, but I didnt put a ton of time in. I know I asked once, Gaia, but dont remember the answer. Do you use that booster start? If so, sparingly in emergency late crashes or start of every race? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaia Gensouki | 1,067 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Calling me an expert in Rad Racer 2 is a bit of an overstatement. I just like the two games. And without the continue option I wouldn't have beaten either of those, unfortunately. The last levels demand near perfection and every little error can cause you to lose the race. I tend to use the booster start at the beginning of pretty much every track and it can help after a crash. But of course you have to watch out whenever the road has many curves or when you crashed in a curve. Then it's obviously too dangerous to use the turbo start.

But of course you have to watch out whenever the road has many curves or when you crashed in a curve. Then it's obviously too dangerous to use the turbo start. I totally forgot about the continues! I never knew that was an option until you posted that in the completions thread this year. And I still haven't tried using a continue. That will make practicing a lot less tedious. I have always played that game as a 1 lifer because I didn't realize that wasn't the only option. @docile tapeworm, rr2 has a really similar feel to rr1, but is just a little more polished. The boost option is kind of stupid, but something different I guess. Its similar enough to the original though you should stilll get a nostalgia kick even if you are only familiar with rr1. I equate it to RC pro am 2 vs RC pro am 1. They didn't change enough to lose the nostalgia factor, but they did make some improvements that make the sequels the better game. RR2 is part of my CIB display including my favorite games. I prefer it to 1, but I am sure I am in the minority there. Also, the box art is badass Edited May 6, 2021 by NESfiend 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH | 4,895 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 @BeaIank I tried to hunt for it (honest!) but I can't find the latest Battletoads rule set. I found the original post in Quarth but I don't think it referenced the warping rule change you mentioned. I think I'm done with RRII and I need to start practicing for next week. Also, thanks for running these comps. I know I'm late to the party but it's been great these past few weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, thanks for running these comps. I know I'm late to the party but it's been great these past few weeks! The barely challenging rules for Battletoads will be as follow: Start at Ragnarok's Canyon Play till you reach 400,000 points or you lose a square of your energy bar You can get hit as long as that hit doesn't consume one or more squares of your energy bar. This includes any situations that causes you to immediately lose a life If you are hit in a way that causes you to lose one or more squares of your energy bar, your run ends. Pause the game and take your picture. If the space invaders aliens take your energy away and you don't recover it, your run ends right there. Pause and take your picture. If anything causes you to lose a life, your run ends. Pause the game and take your picture Pause the game as soon as you break 400,000 points After being reaching 400,000 points add the stage bonus to your current score: Level 1-Ragnarok's Canyon - 0 points Level 2-Wookie Hole(Impact Crater) - 15,000 points Level 3-Turbo Tunnel - 30,000 points Level 4-Arctic Caverns - 45,000 points Level 5-Surf City - 60,000 points Level 6-Karanth's Lair - 75,000 points Level 7-Volkmire's Inferno - 90,000 points Level 8-Intruder Excluder - 105,000 points Level 9-Terra Tubes - 120,000 points Level 10-Rat Race - 135,000 points Level 11-Clinger Wingers - 150,000 points Level 12-the Revolution - 165,000 points Level 13-Dark Queen - 180,000 points Your final score is current score + stage bonus score Highest score wins. The use of stage warps is not only allowed, but encouraged. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pause the game and take your picture Sorry @BeaIank to keep asking questions, but I think this is the only one I have. I've never played this game before this so there could be something obvious but I'm missing it. These two rules seem contradictory. If you lose a life, pause the game and your run ends. However, in that first rule, it sounds like there's an exception where if you are hit, lose a life but no health, you can keep going. That doesn't make sense. Maybe it does in context of a certain level, but how can you lose a life and it not break that last rule above? Feel free to be coy if this is something for the player to figure out.

You can get hit as long as you don't lose a square of your energy bar. That is different than dying. The death rule covers the fact that there are things that will kill you right away, so losing a life ends your run as well. Game is too easy as it is, so I had to figure out a way to make it slightly harder for the contest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
