Wave Race 64

I was checking the WR 64 Bounty some days ago and decided to play a little bit to see how hard this bounty may be. I started playing all the tracks to get used to the game again. The last time I played it was like 2 years ago. After warming-up in all tracks, I headed for Twilight City. The current Fast Lap WR is 27.517 seconds. I played for 3 hours but got nothing at all. Obviously, I was not expecting to achieve it, but, with my current strat, It will be difficult to reach 28\"XX, let alone 27.517. I know what is the best player to be used and I have some experience in Racing Games (Check www.mariokart64.com). So, the only thing that comes to my mind is that my strat is not the most suitable. I also would like to know where I can find the current WRs (Time Trial) of all tracks. Hopefuly someone can help me out.

Thanks in Advance.

same problem i had, i did basically the same thing as you and ended up with a time of like 29seconds. i was amazed at the score.

sorry, i forgot https://www.twingalaxies.com/index.aspx?c=22
look up wave race and you should be able to find the world records.

Thank you, Andrew! I searched some sites, including the link you gave me, and found some awesome times.
The WR64 World Champion is probably my friend Jason Whalls. However, it's been very hard to see him lately. I should send him an e-mail. See you 8)

I have a question for the referees: Is the PAL version of Wave Race 64 which runs 20% slower also be allowed?
So the NTSC WR would be 33\"020(4) for us PAL players. Believe me there is no difference in gameplay in Time Trial except the 50/60Hz issue known from other older games.

Btw. who has gotten that (no-longer) WR ?

I believe the WR holder is Jason Whalls. At leats, he used to have most of them :)

Thanks. Yes he has some very good times but they are nearly all beatable. He just has 3 (2 in the near future) crazy lap records remaining:

Here is a full list of the current record holder:

---Course--- ---Best Time--- ---Best Lap---
Sunny Beach: Ilari Pekkala (PAL), Ilari Pekkala (PAL)
Sunset Bay: Eise Smit (PAL), Eise Smit (PAL)
Drake Lake: Stefan Mahrla (PAL), Stefan Mahrla (PAL)
Port Blue: Stefan Mahrla (PAL), Jason Whalls (NTSC)
Marine Fortress: Stefan Mahrla (PAL), Jason Whalls (NTSC)
Twilight City: Stefan Mahrla (PAL), Jason Whalls (NTSC)
Glacier Coast: Stefan Mahrla (PAL), Stefan Mahrla (PAL)
Southern Island: Steven Swartjes (PAL), Eise Smit (PAL)

Would you mind posting all WRs here? If you know the WR holders I assumed you know the times, too. Thanks :)


P.S-> Do you happen to know what is the strat used on Twilight City for the Flap?

First I have a correction for Sunset Bay, Stefan Mahrla also has both WRs for this track. Sorry Mahrla :roll: .

Sorry I don't have much time to do a WR list now, just take a look at cyberscore.net or the N64 Highscores site which you should know I think :) .

Of course I have the strat for his flap :lol: . But we have no clue how he has done the other two lap records. Do you know something we don't know :wink: ?

@Referees
Is it possible to film other records beside Arcade or PC (DOOM3) with a cam to prove the record? Shipping a VHS tape to USA isn't that cheap ya know :? .

Camera is always an option, as long as you mean a real camera and not a webcam. But you'll still have to send the tape, so not much difference between that and the VHS tape. Make sure to contact the referee first to make sure he can view the tape format you are sending.

The cyberscore.net and the N64 Highscores sites' times are not so good, but at leats we have an idea about how strong the WRs may be.


\"Of course I have the strat for his flap . But we have no clue how he has done the other two lap records. Do you know something we don't know ?\"

-> If you know the strat, why don't you share it with me? The one I use seems to be the only possible and it's still bad.
->I know nothing about the other two tracks, but I am sure Whalls knows. However, I have been trying to contact him but, so far, I haven't had luck. The only thing that interests me is the Twilight City Flap WR and the Bounty.
See you.

Hi Marcelo. Welcome here man! Would be nice see you posting here frequently, friend!

Cyberscore???? I posted a couple of records there... however I will not lose my time again there! Of course... for some little compare, this site can be used (without confirmations, for sure) :|

BurningDeath has a Twilight City lap record which is only ~0,050 behind the TG record. I hope he will post the vid soon.
I can only give you my Twilight City total time record, which beats the old WR by one tenth. My best lap in the vid is a 43\"3, so that's 3 tenth slower than the TG record.
And BurningDeath and me are PAL, so we converted the NTSC times into PAL for comparing.

Hehe, I forgot to post the link:

Btw. why can't you edit your posts in the TG board? So I had to double post.

A decision was made some time ago not to allow the editting of posts due to past problems with manipulations.

If the circumstances are agreeable with the platform referree, special circumstances can be made for you to ship your submission to an alternative referree (i.e., one that's closer). As mentioned, not all referrees can view all formats - please check prior to shipping.

Yeah, that's why I am posting here in hope to get some detailed answers from the referee himself :? .
Would be cool to write down some more detailed rules about european or australian players like what about the differences in games and/or videotaping (50Hz NTSC/60Hz PAL).
Spending another day to get that record and read the next day that PAL is not allowed would be really :evil: , so...

Might want to e-mail him or post in the N64 forum since this thread is somewhat buried in the bounties section.

Hello fellow gamers:

I am spending this weekend cleaning up on all remaining TG PM's and E-MAILs regarding the remaining unpaid year 2005 bounties and this thread was provided in a link.

The TG records as of ending period 8/31/01 for fastest lap/race were all accomplished during the year 2001 summer competitions. I currently have custody of all these performances as I am awaiting formal transfer to the new TG management team prior to Sep30/07.

As for the records accomplished thru that period, some may seem a little faster than possible. Legitimate shortcuts were employed including some tactics that while I had never seen them before up to that point, I discussed with the then senior management team of Walter Day and Ron Corcoran the specifics and we agreed to accept them as being valid.

That stated, my apologies for addressing this matter so very, very late, but if any remaining questions exist regarding this topic or of any specific lap/race record times, let me know and I will reply on this forum to my best recollection.

Without stating what the tactics were, I saw new tactics in five courses.

Robert
