Highscore Challenge - Super Mario Kart [SNES] - Winner Revealed!

[Dat Matt]

So off the high of the Ciddies Revelations it's time to start the High Score Challenge for June. Here this month we are going to play Super Mario Kart for the Super Nintendo.

Based on the voting from the community, the month we are playing SNES Rainbow Road with Koopa Troopa. I'm tired and drunk so here are the rules:

1. Rules are for chumps
2. Seriously though, we are playing Super Mario Kart. The voting chose that we race as Koopa Troopa on Rainbow Road, so that's what we're doing. I'm not going to accept any remakes from the likes of Super Circuit or Mario Kart 7. Despite being remade in both games they are vastly different tracks.
3. Either record a Video, or take a picture of your Highscore, and PM me these scores. Please do not publicly post scores, public high scores early on may discourage entrants.


What I intend to do for this Highscore Challenge is to give feedback on the score for each race. Say "Mario" Scored a time of 3"30'00 and Koopa Troopa score a time of 3"33'00, I would give feedback that Koopa was +3 seconds behind the next contender via PM and advise him to check the thread to see his ranking.

As a side note, I have been informed that the US version of the game is faster. This version will net you the better time overall so I encourage you play this version. I will be accepting all entries as equal though, so if you want to play on the PAL version to offer yourself the extra challenge, feel free to do so.

I will also post a ranking, but scores will be kept hidden until the 10th, because I say so. Below is my score after attempting this course for the first time. Use it as a benchmark to relate your own score to.

Current Ranking:

Name	Time
Endless	1"37'40
Bubba	1"38'32
Mr. Shauna	1"39'61
Colonel Angus	2"20'85
Shauna	3"02'61

SNES Rainbow Road is a tough course. Races close on the 15th at 10PM so get your scores into me before then! Other than that, have fun racing as Koopa Troppa on Rainbow Road! I look forward to you all destroying my inbox.

For people submitting entries via picture, can you submit them in either one of these two formats?



This way I can see your time, and your character.

PS the final run for me was awful. I ended up stuck behind the twhomps. It's the worst thing.

[Dat Matt]

And the first entrant, endless has submitted his score! How well did he do? Submit your own score to find out!

[Dat Matt]

Bubba has submitted his entry again and is now in the lead. Will this man manage to steal the show again!?

Keep submitting scores! I'm impressed with the times so far.

[Shauna]

I'll submit a score tonight and I'll mop the floor with the both of them.

[Bubba]

I'll submit a score tonight and I'll mop the floor with the both of them.

BRING IT OOOOAAAAANNNNNN!!!!!!

[Shauna]

(SPOILER)The joke is last time I tried I got slower than Matt's benchmark!

[Dat Matt]

Endless has once again taken the lead. He must have had a mushroom!

Step it up Bubba... (and everyone else)...

Step it up Bubba... (and everyone else)...

I can't concentrate with someone ahead of me.

[Flying Mullet]

Bah, I was knocking out a few hours with my SNES yesterday. I wish I would have seen this before then...

Now I have to find some time to play.

[Dat Matt]

Competition is open till the 15th. Take your time.

[Flying Mullet]

Competition is open till the 15th. Take your time.

But not more than 4 minutes, right?

[Dat Matt]

You can be longer than 4 minutes if you want. That's just a terrible, terrible benchmark.

[Pike]

I'm going to be SUPER busy the next few weeks but I really want to try to get a score in when I can - it's my favorite character and track! I'll try my best but sadly cannot make any promises!

[Dat Matt]

I look forward to your entry. I got all of my entries on day one, so this has been pretty easy for me this time. With all the discussion around this last month, I was expecting a flood of entrants by now...
