n00b discovery

Okay guys, I was just playing (finally beat the DF3 staff ghost, w00t!), and then saved my ghost. I noticed that the ghost doesn't drive at all like I did, i.e. no sliding. It just grip drove all the turns as the same slide speed and approach.
Might not seem like a big deal, but it was driving me crazy trying to figure out how the staff ghosts were grip driving so fast.

Yeh i know the feeling, i couldnt understand the staff ghosts either, so i never really thought about reading the instruction book to learn about sliding....i only started when i first joined this site.

yea it was irritating before ya know about sliding, but its quite logical. If the ghost is to move in exactly the same way as it was played, a lot more of data would have to be saved. the battery-backup memory doesnt hold too much!

So it may not look like you're ghost is sliding, but It really is. You have nothing to worry about. ^^

Sadly, I got the game used (an interesting story*) and I don't have the manual. I should really get a new copy though, because mine is on the way out. The 64 doesn't read it very well, and sometimes when I am playing the sound starts getting really scratchy, and this is only a problem with F-Zero X. Looks like it's time to search eBay for a sealed copy.
*I bought a box of Atari 2600 stuff at a yard sale for 15 dollars. Two boxes actually. One of the systems and (lots) controllers, and the other one of games. I played them for a while, had a good laugh at such games as E.T. and Star Wars, and then took it to a used game store, and traded it in for a whopping $243 credit (!!!!!). Turns out I had over 130 games, all of which were worth a buck of credit each. So I got a 64, PS1, PSX, and games. Whee.

Erm, the staff ghost does slide on some tracks, you can see it doing so. The ghost is perfectly replayed. I only found out about sliding a few months before I bought my GC (and so stopped playing FZX), but by some hard work I've still managed to easily beat every staff ghost expect Rainbow Road. I wish I'd known about the more advanced techniques as FZero X is my fav racer ever and I'm a racing addict, being pretty good. Now I just dont have the patience or time to relearn whole new methods of play on the game. I've managed 1.25.?? odd total times on Mute City without any of the advanced techniques this site covers, but the difference in gameplay is just too great for me to bother. I'll just get to work on GX in October.
