Excite Bike - Selection A, Track 3 Speed Trial

In Games

I'm sure you guys all have an emulator for this one, but if you don't have the game, .

Good luck!

Another game I totally suck at

my best time so far is i'm not so sure if i can do any better than that

When did I last play this game? ... I don't remember.

I shall try it and this time victory shall be m... probably again somebody else's.

I'm actually not too bad at this game. I hope I can get some good results.

I beat my time already:




That's not bad. I only had 1:07 at my second try. (I won't mention the time of my first try )

Edit:



1:02:72

There is still room for faster times I suppose, but it's the best I can do now.

55.90s

Yea!

EDIT|Now I Got a better Time!

51.77s




Now trying to go under 50s

ANOTHER EDIT| 49.64


BSing us?

How can you be so fast? Game Genie?

The best time at Twin Galaxies is only 59 seconds...

Thanks Daynum. I haven't hear of Twin Galaxies before.

Interesting... How can you get under 1 minute. It seems rather impossible to me. But it stands there so I believe that somebody is over 3 seconds faster than me.

@Javi: You really raced track 3? And of course you know that cheating is not allowed?


With the emulator called "MS paint" I can easily do a 0:22:22. But that's not the purpose of the challenge.

Another thing. Please try to post your game screens only. We don't need to see your msn conversations.

I'm sure nobody would cheat...

But do you actually believe the 49 seconds time?

On that course it's just impossible. The track is too long to get around it twice in 49 seconds.
Something IS wrong with those.

Sorry, Javi, I believe you when you show me a video of your races under 1 minute. But until then...

The time does seem amazingly good, but it seems odd that anyone would cheat. It's not as if there's much at stake here. It's a bit of fun between us.
Of course if there was a gold NWC cart at stake, I could prehaps understand cheating.
That's just my two cents.

There is the glory at stake, the glory of being the NES Files champion of the week.

I guess so.

How can you get under 1 minute. It seems rather impossible to me.

Another thing. Please try to post your game screens only. We don't need to see your msn conversations.

I have to agree. under 1 minute might not be impossible That far under 1 Minute.... i think that is impossible. my best time was 1:02:?? and i was hauling a$$!

Yea and why the hell would you wait to the end of the race to show your time?? Take the screenshot while you still SEE the course if indeed you are getting this score.



I meant that. Obviously there is at least 1 person who can get under 1 minute, but not that far.

Enough debating about it. Javi, sorry man, but that time is too good to just throw around without having a proper screenshot. Remember, these challenges go by the HONOR system. This time won't be counted. If others start to get times like this, it MAY be considered, but I don't think so. End of debate on Javi's score.

I tried this once so far... boy do I suck I'll have to give it another go-round a little later.

WHoops Sorry guys, I did cheat (not on purpose of course) but I forgot to take the cheats off, my bad sorry forget about my scores...

After what daynum said about TwinGalaxies I checked and our very own andrewg has the fastest time for that course. So lets all hope that he doesnt find this thread, because if he does we are all probably done for.



Looks like we need to do some more research before creating the challenges...


Ha yeah I also noticed that (and was also wondering when he would notice this thread). It says he has a video so I wonder if he still has it.

"World Champions" and other overmighty players should not be allowed to participate to give us "normal players" a chance. JK...

Let's all hope that andrewg doesn't find the thread or that he lost his screenshots and can't do a 59 again.



...
I'll consider a screenshot and video once my time is a little less unsatisfactory.




I got 1:02:60, but when I took the screenshot the time wasn't visible. You know that your time is blinking after the race and I took it in the moment when the space was black.

I missed the time too. Stupid blinking. But I did catch it on the next screen.



. Still less than manuel, though.

I raced it a few more times, and got better at changing lanes for speed and getting speed out of bounces.



... I could push for under a minute, but I'm getting sick of Excitebike right now

Mine's 1 03.62 Still room for improvement.

Allrite I've played this until I got my probably best times I'll ever get:

1:00:40


AND DRUMROLL.......

!

Damn. Looks like I have even more work to do. But, alas... I am sick of Excitebike D:



Getting there...

Congrats greatmightypoo on winning this weeks challenge!

you guys, i set the world record for this at TG!!!!!




OHHH! you figured it out, and didn't tell me hahahaa! i dont actually have the video because i sent it to TG, i didn't make a copy unfortunately, i could do it again though.

what about this. try and beat my track 1 time haha. 53.44 it is insane.

did we have to use our computer, just wondering, i have most of these games for NES.

i didn't even know you had contests like this.


"After what daynum said about TwinGalaxies I checked and our very own andrewg has the fastest time for that course. So lets all hope that he doesnt find this thread, because if he does we are all probably done for."

how did you find out it was me?? probably by my forum name on TG is the same as here.

well it said Andrew Gardikus, i thought.

have i told you my last name before?

it's gardikis. by the way.

yeah i think.

have i told you my last name before?

it's gardikis. by the way.

Yes, yes you have



Proof:

oohhh i see. i forgot about that...

hey i just got 58.14!

did i win? haha

No. Haha

But I'd be interested in how you can get that fast...
It's 2 seconds faster than I can do it and I'm always on the verge of overheating...

i did some research on the game... there are things i found out that helped me to be so good. i can get a little better than what i have right now for track 3.

these are my best times for each track
track 1- 53.44..... beat my time haha, it is now 53.31... this is nearly impossible for a normal person to beat.
track 2- 51.28
track 3- 58.14
track 4- 59.72
track 5- 52.96

I'm proud of myself, because i was able to beat all of the records i currently have at twingalaxies.com. i cant beleive i finally beat my track 2 time... it is under 51!



EDIT: are there going to be any more challanges?

ok, now my times are insane!

i will tell you one of them.

track 3- 56.6 i think.

once my video gets verified by twingalaxies when i send it in sometime this week, i will post a video here.
