Challenge of the Month #21 - Space Mama's Crater bonus challenge

[Steo]

Let's just go with this one then, especially since we're already a week late and I haven't started it.

The objective is to obtain the fastest lap time in the Rayman M/Arena stage Treasure Ship.

Nice, good luck to all the participants!

[Steo]

I might give this one a try since I recently reinstalled M. I think I might need to use dgVoodoo in order to not have graphical artifacts though iirc.

Just set myself a new record of 51.001 seconds. It's in Race Mode (as opposed to Popolopoï or Lums), but I don't think that should matter.

[Hunchman801]

Well, I'm not sure how good a time this is but I'm confident mine would be much worse.

[Steo]

I'll have to try give it a go but I also expect to do really badly lol.

[PluMGMK]

So if the best time ends up being submitted by someone playing as Tily, does that make her objectively the best character?

Someone please submit a better time.

BTW I actually witnessed a bona fide Globox moment during that run. Half way through one of the laps, Globox himself came running against me, i.e. in the wrong direction for the race!

What an eejit, that's why he's my favourite character!

Now I wish you recorded this. Maybe it can be reproduced...

[Steo]

I'd love to see it on video.

Anyway, I haven't had time to participate in this one. I don't know if I will within the next couple of days.

[PluMGMK]

I'm sure it can be reproduced, because this is one of those tracks where the bots just act stupid sometimes. The probability of getting it with specifically Globox again is probably too low for it to be worth my while trying though.

To single-handedly double the amounts of entries, I gave the challenge a try and got a 41.984. Since my button mashing skills are rather bad, I'm sure it can still be improved by several seconds, but oh well. Also, sorry for the laggy video.

[PluMGMK]

Nice job! I guess the Henchman's gonna be the best character then, not Tily.

All we need is a Globox mode where all characters are Globox, then.

And thanks 1234 for not letting Tily win. We owe you big time.

[1234]

Thanks! Maybe next time I'll use Tily. Then maybe more people will be motivated to also participate in the challenges.

I don't think so. I think that simply means that you are the best Tily player, therefore she is your main.

There's no way I would beat your score, Tily or not.

Well, she is my main, no surprises there.
