Playing MV without any help at all.

I know that probably every player does this, but I just wanted to post about it. Isn't it fun when you find a new shortcut on a track that you didn't know before and improve your time by over 10 seconds? A good example of this is P5 or (? not sure on the track number)Ancient Mesa (skating circuit I think it is) where you find a jump that clears most of the track. I haven't looked at Logan's walkthrough yet, but I probably will soon to see how to futher improve my MV times after I make my big jump hopefully onto the first page .

Yeah, sometimes trying something different improves your time by that little bit extra.

Oh yes! I didn't use any guides myself (I don't know why, but I prefer to figure levels and strategies out for myself......and then I write walkthroughs.....go figure) except for the shortcuts on Plummet Circuit. I saw that my times were far below (like more than half a minute) behind where I wanted them on the rankings, so I looked it up. Then I had to smack myself on the forehead. Of course!!!!!
It's all fun. Too bad your cartridge has that problem, it makes your gains all the more of an accomplishment. And uh, get yourself a normal cartridge huh? Although you'll get awfully good going through Master in all fur tracks each time you want to get the FC......If you use that.

yeah, I need to beat all four cups on Master to use FC. It's kind of fun though, I like Grand Prix more the Training. I'm not bragging ( ) but I think I personally am probably the best at the Grand Prix on MV, considering how much I play it! I think my best time so far only completley clearing Expert and Master class with JV is about 40 min, I'm not sure, I'll take note to check next time I play!

Sheesh, and I only played 40 minutes per day, if I played at all! I still think it is amazing and I don't doubt that you'd be great at GP mode. I decided I wasn't dedicated enough to go through GP Master with all the vehicles, I did Pawn with Sly Joker, JV, and FMKII and then Knight, Bishop, and Queen with FMKII, I'd rather play other games.
*hangs head* I even used the code to get the JV, I just didn't WANT to spend the time on it, I know I would have been more practiced and therefore better, but, whatever. I'm happy.

I always prefer to know the best strategy for every track rather than find them by myself. But on the rare occasion I do try something different it worked nicely (Championship and Queen 2 come to mind ).

I erased my pak three times on purpose, after unlocking JV with a password:
- the first time after I had unlocked Sly Joker ("... what? Just E turning?? They must be mad!"), - the second time after unlocking FC the first time ("... still can't control that piece of junk!'), - the third time even after completing Pawn Master with several machines ("#@$*%&!").
Shortly thereafter I joined the competition. I went for the '40 chess pieces challenge' and entered all my times in GP mode until I unlocked JV the hard way *). Playing GP got me as far as a top Knight rank (with a silent promotion to Bishop when I paused playing MV for about 4 weeks), IIRC.
Of course, it's impossible to unlock JV this way with a pak that can't save. You ought to buy a working one, indeed. ;D
Greetings,
Michael
