    I have some tips for three of these tracks that might help if someone's stuck on them. And a tip at the end for you to try, Lewis.
    Cortex Castle: There's a way to get a bit more reserves to work with. The boost pad that gives you blue flames actually extends further than it appears to; the wooden ramp is actually part of it too. Since boost pads add to your reserves each time you hit them, hitting the same one twice will double the reserves it gives you. This is one of the few tracks that this is actually useful for. as soon as you hit the pad and get blue flames, jump and you'll hit the wooden ramp and get an extra boost. Admittedly, this isn't much, but it helped me hold onto blue flames longer than I had before.
    Deep Sea Driving: The turns and the blades are the killers in this track. I was able to get rid of one of these concerns by switching to Acceleration (I usually play Speed). At first I did do worse on the track, because I wasn't used to the sharper turning. But once I got the hang of it, I no longer got flung all over that darn pipe at the end. The blades are still difficult to get around, but the turning helps. ALSO: the last two blades. I found the easiest way to handle those was to jump and U-turn right before them, so that I was going through them head on, instead of at an awkward curve.
    Out of Time: This is another case of a different class leading to an easier time. I don't know why, but Drift class made it easier to maintain blue fire when hopping over that fence. This could just be a personal thing, but I've seen other people saying the switching to Drift helped on this track. If nothing else, it's worth trying. This, in my opinion, is the most technically demanding track in the time trials (though that title will probably go to Drive-Thru Danger when the Beenox times come out).
    Hot Air Skyway: This one's just a tip that might help Lewis. Try drifting up the ramp towards the barrier and jump (as you do in the video), but don't start your U-turn until you've cleared the barrier. It may take a few attempts to get a feel for how far to turn, since you'll have less time to do it. But I've found this to be the easiest way to take that shortcut consistently.

      @@WumpaLewis At the fence shortcut in Hot Air Skyway I do something similar. While I do start the U-turning right after jumping I let go of the brake button halfway through so I'm facing the fence straight on and after I've cleared it I press brake again to do a second U-turn while still in that same jump. The whole thing is basically a ] motion.
      (I do this too in some of the later parts of Electron Avenue.)

    • @IanRB26
      @IanRB26 4 роки тому +6

      Yeah these are good tips.
      If I can add some things,
      Cortex Castle, when you go over the BF pad, instead of trick jumping off it, drift boost off it and continue drift boosting in the air. It will help build up some good reserves.
      Hot Air Skyway, when you're coming to the final hairpin, try to be more to the middle of the ramp (if you have BF) and point your kart slightly to the right (away from the ramp) before you jump. Then when you u turn you won't overshoot the landing.
      And yes, Drift Class holds reserves longer than all the other classes. So if you're bad at reserves, this class is the best bet. Plus it has good speed and good turning which is equally important.

  • @naed_coral
    @naed_coral 4 роки тому +12

    I cracked a code with Deep Sea Driving....
    If you hold blue flame etc. so you're pretty much with neck and neck with velo, or slightly better, the gap in the blades are always at the bottom by the time you get there.
    Secondary point, I had an epiphany realising that once you're in the tubes you can just hold acceleration and multi hop to each of the turbo pads (which keeps your blue flame reserve) and basically coast through to the turbo pad at the end there
    General tip for you Lewis too is... sometimes it's better to drift boost off of turbo pad jumps without jumping at all, especially evident in Hyper Spaceway, to keep the blue flame in again in the laser tubes or through the portals you simply start a powerslide before the ramp and let gravity get you across while 3x boosting mid-air, often I'd hop into the hyper laser tube (especially online) and lose my blue flame (Now I tell myself "idiot" whenever I hop)
    Also, I reckon all the Dev Times will be equal or worse than Out of Time, I find it incredible you beat nearly all in

    Hey, just some advice for sewer speedway:
    - If you can be somewhat consistent, learn to look at your time when you pass the barrels. They are always in the same place at the same time so you can predict where they will be each round.
    -Hit the shortcut the straight on every time. Your jump will get boosted and you'll make it 99.99% of the time.
    Hug the walls in the last "sewer" section ( after the second barrel) you save like almost a second per lap.

    @cryyptt 4 роки тому +1

    On Deep Sea Driving, I found out a way how you can stop hitting those damn forsaken fans in the tunnel and its quite simple, once you enter the tunnel, drift around the first corner and when your drifting around the corner, half way through, jump/hop and continue drifting. I don't know it does it but that small jump allows you pass the fans without hitting a single one even the double ones at the end, you still need to control your kart but trust me its easier.
    By doing this method I beat Emperor Velo's time by 10 seconds and yes, doing this method works on all laps.

      i don't think there'l be such thing, or they will simply lie, this newdeveloper company are not par to actually doing some awesome times, i guess they could beat Velo's ghosts and call them ghosts Dev. Times but I don't know if that's going to happen.

  • @LoudToon99
    @LoudToon99 4 роки тому +1

    The only Velo ghosts I struggled with were Deep Sea Driving, Nina's Nightmare and Out Of Time.

  • @coffee9172
    @coffee9172 4 роки тому +2

    Honestly, I feel like you should rework your Oxide Ghost Times Top 5, for many reasons.
    Some tracks got fixed (Notably Sewer Speedway) and you got better at the game, so that would probably give you a new perspective on things.

    I'm hooked on your channel! Your commentary and effort to beat some of the time trials are very relatable and funny. Your 76th attempt on Out of Time was legendary. Its crazy to see how much better we've gotten on the tracks since beating Oxides Time Trials.
    The Hardest Velo Times for me were:
    1. Out of Time
    2. Deep Sea Driving
    3. Oxide Station
    4. Dragon Mines
    5. Nina's Nightmare
    6. Cortex Castle
    Also, question for you, what do you think will be the hardest tracks to beat Beenox on? For me personally I wasn't able to hold blue flames for an entire lap on either of these tracks and think these will be the hardest Beenox times for me.
    1. Oxide Station
    2. Cortex Castle
    3. Thunder Struck
    4. Turbo Track
    5. Electron Avenue
    6. Clockwork Wumpa
    Keep up the good videos man!

    • @williampjr1233
      @williampjr1233 2 роки тому

      Good call with Turbo Track
      But the hardest times in my opinion are probably Megamix, Deepsea, Tiger Temple and Crash Cove

  • @psfreak333
    @psfreak333 4 роки тому +1

    Not sure about top 5 but my top 3 are definitely cortex castle, deep sea driving and out of time which I'm still working on now... spyro circuit would be my honorable mention though

  • @faereman
    @faereman 4 роки тому +1

    Now that I think about it, I think that Turbo Track has the potential for being one of the hardest Beenox times, both Oxide and Velo aren't doing too good of a job at that triple hairpin section, but an actual good time on this might prove to be VERY difficult :p

  • @erlendvageskar3356

    Great video, you should do a video rating all 8 gp (bonus) tracks from worst to best, rating them from music, track design, online performance, etc. Just an idea.

    These were my 5 hardest:
    #5 - Spyro Circuit
    #4 - Deep Sea Driving
    #3 - Cortex Castle
    #2 - Hot Air Skyway
    #1 - Out of Time

  • @DaveMan1K
    @DaveMan1K 4 роки тому

    I've said my piece on Blizzard Bluff, but Spyro Circuit comes close. I only just crossed the line milliseconds before Velo.
    I seem to struggle with the simpler tracks where blue flame isn't available. On tracks like Cortex Castle, Polar Pass, Drive-Thru Danger, Out of Time, Oxide Station, Hot Air Skyway and Twilight Tour, Velo makes mistakes that are sometimes your key to victory.
    But tracks like Crash Cove, Sewer Speedway, Coco Park, Spyro Circuit and Nina's Nightmare, he's practically perfect and even the slightest mistake will greet you with a one-way ticket back to the start line.

  • @jakeweiland3444
    @jakeweiland3444 4 роки тому +1

    Idk why but jungle boogie gave me the most rage... just finished the last one today (OOT) wasn’t as bad as I thought still took an hour though. Dragon mines took the longest cause I wanted to learn its shortcut

  • @ivant.5340
    @ivant.5340 4 роки тому +1

    I finished Velo times like a week ago and my top 5 is exactly the same as yours, just changing the order

  • @PowerKonata
    @PowerKonata 4 роки тому

    For the shortcut at the end of hot air skyway I think the issue is with the way you're u-turning, at least by looking at these clips.
    When your kart rotates mid-air like that without actually changing trajectory it usually means that you're pressing left or right on the d-pad but not down at the same time.

  • @Kamiccolo9000
    @Kamiccolo9000 4 роки тому

    My top 5 is:
    - Deepsea Driving
    - Crash Cove
    - Sewer Speedway
    - Out of Time
    - Gingerbread Joyride
    I finished beating them all yesterday and it was a good challenge, it definitely pushed me to improve on some tracks and figure out some new strategies, I'm both looking forward to and dreading the dev times coming out next month, it'll be interesting to see if I even got close to some of them because on some tracks I beat Velo by a fairly large gap (like around 20 seconds or so)
    Also for that last turn on Hot Air Skyway what I do is move a bit towards the right and when I make the jump I hold the U-Turn all the way until I'm on the ground, sometimes I jump a bit too much from the left and what I have to do is jump again when I land and for a split second I'm actually off the track on the right edge and then land back on the track while I'm still U-turning, I know it sounds confusing but it's what I figured to have a high success rate at clearing that section because most of my losses at first were because of that.

    Hot air skyway was one of the first I tried and nailed it in a few attempts. So far only really through CTR tracks, except for cortex castle which I've actively avoided

  • @schattenseitevonyt
    @schattenseitevonyt 4 роки тому +4

    6:25 Maybe you can't hold blue fire because the track hasn't blue fire😂

  • @mrgrimm53
    @mrgrimm53 4 роки тому

    I did the majority of the tracks with drift class. Even though I always used speed since I started playing. But I've read drift class is really good on alot of tracks... well that was the best advice for beating these velo times. It was so much easier as trying to beat them all with speed class.

  • @ThePuffmeister
    @ThePuffmeister 4 роки тому

    I read a post on reddit that hitting the blue fire pad on cortex castle (so driving over it and then jumping to hit it again) actually gives you a lot of reserves, I tried it and it actually seemed to help, but that might be a placebo idk. But it wouldnt hurt to give it a shot to see if it helps

  • @MrZarewna
    @MrZarewna 4 роки тому

    Papu's pyramid was the one I lost my mind on. BUT, sewer speedway barrels have patterns. I don't remember them out of memory, but if you go from one of the sides and succeed, it'll be the same on that lap always. Just do the same trick if you have to repeat.

    It took me 200+ restarts to do Deep Sea Driving. The issue is the camera - I kept accidentally scraping the walls as much as the blades, because I just couldn't see a thing.

  • @Sodor156
    @Sodor156 4 роки тому

    My top 3 worst were (#3) Cortex Castle (like you said, maintaining blue fire on those turns is a nightmare at times), (#2) Koala Carnival (I had to stay on the inside the whole time, those jumps by the fire traps can kill my speed, and I only beat him by about 15 milliseconds) and (#1) Out of Time (it took me 45-50 minutes to beat). Deep Sea Driving did take me a few tries but I was calm about those as opposed to the 3 I mentioned.

  • @nb1243
    @nb1243 4 роки тому

    Currently stuck on Out of Time. I somehow managed to completely fluke Deep Sea Driving on the 3rd attempt by avoiding the blades each time, but I doubt I’ll be as lucky next month lol. Pro tip for speed mains: switch to drift. It’s so much easier to build your reserves and the extra turn really helps.

    @greggoso600 4 роки тому +2

  • @Xiristatos
    @Xiristatos 3 роки тому

    I'm just about to defeat all of Emperor Velo's ghosts as well, only Electron Avenue and Hyper Spaceway remaining, and I've been beating them all as my dude Megamix. It's really funny, I used to have an absolutely frustrating experience just beating all of Dr. N Tropy's ghosts at the time I just began playing the game (which is merely two months ago), which made me actively avoid Nitros Oxide's times for a while... until after some time I decided to try them out and was surprised at how suddenly easy they mostly felt to me, and right now even with Velo's I was able to get through them with mostly little issue as well. It became clear that I've been getting better at this game and I haven't even noticed, to the point where there were tracks that I long dreaded doing these times the most on initially but overcame surprisingly quickly in the end (like Assembly Lane or Blizzard Bluff). That being said, as for my own 5 choices as to which tracks were the hardest to beat his times on:
    5. Deep Sea Driving - Same reason as you... and pretty much everyone else. Seriously, unpredictable obstacle movement is a major annoyance no matter what.
    4. Spyro Circuit - I find the track in terms of structure to be annoying in general and Oxide's time there tested my patience quite a lot, but Velo's time here really came across as a perfect run I was asked to do, though it weirdly didn't take me half as long to overcome than Oxide's time.
    3. Out of Time - I should have expected something tasking when Velo's ghost is 33 goddamn seconds faster than Oxide's, and with how much I was tasked with keeping the blue flame under these circumstances I got annoyed relatively quickly. Though shockingly I do feel like I took way less attempts than you... I don't know, just a gut feeling, I don't really count losses, I just accept them.
    2. Nina's Nightmare/Gingerbread Joyride - I put them in a tie because I had essentially the same annoyance with them, what with the absolutely demanding blue flame speeds and lengths that were expected of me in these corner-laden tracks. And because Oxide's times alone on them were so frustrating to me, these two tracks especially were the main reason I chose to go after Velo's times in the Bonus tracks FIRST before going after CTR's and CNK's, just to get this shit done with.
    1. Dragon Mines - Only my Number 1 because this was the first time where I felt like I've hit an actual roadblock in overcoming Velo's times (Again, I finished the Bonus tracks before this) due to my absolutely horrendous turning with that dumbass spiral. A close call was truly the best I could have gotten out of it, and it's really telling that a close call is the only expected thing when the developer time afterwards is mere MILLISECONDS faster.
    I definitely won't bother with the developer times. I suck way too much for them.

  • @UltraPrimeHunter
    @UltraPrimeHunter 4 роки тому

    If you don't mind me asking, how are you uturning on xbox? It's more comfortable to use the analog stick on that controller so using the dpad to uturn is a pain. I tried remapping the down button to another button on that controller but it also didnt help much. I dont know why/if its possible to just uturn holding the bottom corner on the analog stick?

    • @williampjr1233
      @williampjr1233 2 роки тому

      U-Turning is way easier on D-Pad because you can just hold down constantly and also commit to a full turn left/right...
      You can't make a hard left/right U-Turn on Analog without remapping, because if you fully turn Left or Right then you will no longer be using a 'down' input and thus you'll loser fire upon braking if your wheels make contact with the track ✌️

    Funny how it's different to everyone ! I had only issues on dragon mines and deep sea. I guess it's because I played a lot of TT ^^ can't wait to try the dev times ! Would be nice to have a TT reset. Because of people who used all glitchs, you can't know your classment... Like in Dingo Canyon. I was in the top 100 in past, and then more than 3000 because of these glitchs...

    I beat Out of Time & surprisingly Deep Sea Driving in a couple tries. I remember Deep Sea Driving giving me so much crap during the Oxide times. The hardest for me so far(since I haven't completed the all the Velo times) was Crash Cove when playing my primary class(balanced) and I barely beat him with Drift.

  • @Duskool
    @Duskool 4 роки тому +1

    I remember videos of the boss battles of Nitro Kart had the blades on a set position in Deep sea driving, why didn't they do that here too, like not even out of the way, just stopped on set positions so at least the track is consistent.
