The Sound of Silence
« Thread started on: Aug 6th, 2003, 4:29pm »

I keep flying off the track on Silence usually right after the boost refill stirips. Is there a better way than just holding forward on the joystick? When I hold foward I tend to weave back and forth as if I drank a bottle of Johnny Walker Black before hitting the track. Thanks for the help!

Sure thing. You can configure your controller as if it's holding 'up' all the time if you hold 'down' on the stick while starting up the N64.
I always do this trick when going for a jumper time on Silence.. helps a lot.

You'll need to have good reflexes at the car selection screen though

Did you ever ask a question and when someone gives you the answer you think, "It's so simple why didn't I think of that?"

Thanks for the tip!!

You dont need to do it when you load up the 64, if you press pause in the race then hold the stick down, while pressing L + R + start at the same time it resets the neutral position.

Yea but then you need good reflexes at the pause menu

holding the stick forward is the better way you just have to practice to do it correctly and at the right points of the track . the starting trick is nice but your controls suffer when the stick is pressed forward all the time .

Actually, you don't. You can just use the D-Pad to choose your car. At least, that's what I've always done.

Maybe another "that's so simple why didn't I think of that?" thing...set the analog at the settings screen
