After doing Mode 1 in June, I had tried 9-Ball a handful of times but never really got anywhere, and I beat one of the sports modes. As for everything else, all of my completions (including a replay of soccer to get a proper screenshot) were in the span of about four hours yesterday, and before that, I spent maybe an hour or two (might have been more) on 9-Ball in the late evening on December 10. So six months with a long gap in there, but everything other than Mode 1 was more or less in a 24-hour period with some sleep in the middle.

I was *not* expecting an NES racing game with a learning curve. I'm honestly not sure if I have the time for this right now; even if I kept at it over most of the break, I'm not sure if I'd be able to finish this before the end of the year. Not to let everyone down or anything... One thing that saves a lot of time, apparently, is that you can just end the qualifying early once you have a good lap by pressing select. You could probably just look up the times on a playthrough to see what is needed. Edited December 13, 2020 by scaryice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's now at the point where I could marathon the remaining games in a single day if I had to, but I'm trying to stick to getting a couple games in at a time during long phone calls and bad TV shows. It really is that mindless and devoid of challenge -- with the right pitcher, you absolutely can't lose. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, how many people in the entire world do you think have beaten the game already this year? It can't be more than, I dunno, 10. I was half joking / half serious. I don't know anyone who's played this game. I just figured it was an idea worth throwing out there once I thought about it being the one and only leftover at the stroke of midnight on 1/1/21.

WashYourFace | 80 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 (edited) So for Michael Andretti, do we have to win with most points on all 9 levels (16 courses each = 144 courses)? Or is it enough to just get the most points on level 1 (16 courses once)? Manual says: "In order to win the title of Grand Prix Champion for a particular level, you must gain more points than any of the other GP racers." which seems to indicate the ending is the same no matter what level you beat? But I don't know how this works... Edited December 18, 2020 by WashYourFace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WashYourFace | 80 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Well GameFAQs and the manual for Michael Andretti suck. Here's a much better guide: https://strategywiki.org/wiki/Michael_Andretti's_World_GP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you get the ending after the last track. I saw it on a YouTube longplay when I was trying to see if I could clear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeaIank | 1,618 Events Team · Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 I ain't got anything better to do this weekend and the next, so I will get rid of Michael Andretti's World Grand Prix for you guys. I will do it during my programming breaks. 2 seasons done. Ugh. This game is BORING! I will resume tomorrow to try to make it to season 5. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeaIank | 1,618 Events Team · Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Up to season 5. I will try to tackle at least half a season per day during this week to try to get rid of this effing thing by next weekend. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WashYourFace | 80 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 You're awesome. One day (week/month) I will dedicate the time to beating Andretti. I was getting better at it, and kind of saw where it was going. Seems like you have to be really perfect (perfectly robotic). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeaIank | 1,618 Events Team · Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 On season 9 now. I will shower, get some food and end this thing! Edit: This bloody, awful, irritating game has fallen. TO HELL WITH IT. Michael Andretti World GP is DEAD. I need more vodka. Now someone beat Bases Loaded already so my sacrifice won't be for naught. 6 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
