Q5 is it possible to make the jump?
Post by Kevin C Cabral on Jul 25th, 2003, 10:34am

for this course i was wondering if any of the experts know if it is possible to hit the second jump board and land on the other side (where the curve is on the section that pulls u to the side). i've tried before but i always just miss it, then again im using FC. if it is possible what car should i use and do u have any tips.

thanks
kevin

FC would be the best to use, but as far as I know, it's never been achieved. Many have tried though.

I've tried it (quite a few times) with both the Stingray and Fighting Comet, but unfortunately to no avail.

I think it's impossible, just like on p5 and also on q2 where you can almost boost jump to the right off the 2nd jump and land right in front of the finish line.

i agree. i think it is possible. somehow if u were able to get a bump while in the air for sure it would be possible, the only thing is that will never happen and the only way for it to would be to have a buddy run with u and give u that extra boost. in other words, cheat, but that ainn't alloud. im sure sometime in the future someone will be able to get it.

I'm not quite certain if having a friend hitting you to attempt the jump would qualify as "cheating", as you put it.

Your comments, Dave?

I've temporarily made this post a sticky.

In the context of participating at F-Zero Central ... yes, it's cheating. Having a friend bump you means you're playing multiplayer, and those times are not allowed at FZC.

If all we're talking about is doing it to see if it can be done ... then of course there are no rules, anything goes.

The answer to your question Kevin is Yes it is possible.

About 3 months after this game first came out, there was talk about this on another site. It turned out a few people were able to pull it off myself being one of them. I've only been able to do it once and here is how everyone that did it pulled it off.
Use JV, ram into a few mines, time your boost right, hit the jump plate at the right corner, and do all of this while taking the corner at the right angle and speed. trust me you can make the jump. But it can only be accomplished if all of the above conditions are met.

Just thought I would pass this info on


TK3000, I copy-pasted your post here since it is on the same topic and deleted the thread that you orignally posted in.

Please try to keep all relevant posts in the same thread.

Thanks for the info though. I'll have to take this for a spin one of these times.

Thanks for answering my question

Yeah yeah I know after that big stink I posted about Master Class, it's funny that something like this is coming from me. (If any comments are thrown at me I deserve them and can take it)

Bleh. We all get frustrated at times. Even if someone makes a few off the wall posts from time to time, it's bound to happen. Far as I'm concerned, it's in the past and to just let bygones be bygones. No harm was done, so it's not a big deal.

It's impossible to make that jump on QF. Even a rear bump from a human opponent wouldn't help. The JV simply doesn't jump far enough.
