+wongojack Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 I may have played this one before. I'll be trying to spell NINTENDO 3x without finishing out. Failed on my first attempt at track 22. 172,470 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frozone212 Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 can we play something else? I can't get past level 4 and for some reason, can't upgrade my car? why is everyone picking the crappy games? Here's an idea for the next game: Anticipation or monopoly or some other board game Something we can all have fun with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+wongojack Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I have been playing this one so long that I am kind of the wrong person to ask for hints. I'll pay attention to race 3/4 next time I play and see if I have any specific advice. Probably the most basic advice that I can give is to try and learn the track and know when to start steering to get a good racing line. It takes practice, but you can get around actual S curves without hitting the side at full speed if you turn at the right time. I'll say that I keep the throttle down almost the entire time and only back off on tracks where there are A LOT of oil slicks that I need to navigate through. You should be able to go full throttle 98% of the time. There are some tracks where memorizing the speed boost pads is absolutely essential, and there are a couple tracks up in the 20's where you must be able to wreck your opponents with missiles or bombs, but that comes MUCH later than track 3. It looks like track maps are here: R.C. Pro-Am FAQs, Walkthroughs, and Guides for NES - GameFAQs (gamespot.com) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakecortex Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 This is one I never really gave a fair shake, but I’m getting into it. At my current skill, it feels like anything can change at the last second, but once you get rockets, you can start to decide who finishes first haha. I’ve been seeing this guy in a super market parking lot playing with a remote control car. Perhaps he’s practicing ? Level 6 pulls no punches. Time to rtfm. R.C.

+wongojack Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 I did it! I 1cc'd the 24 tracks, and I spelled Nintendo 3x without finishing 4th. This is my personal best high score for a game that I have been playing since 1988. 262,509 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
