Time Trials and Records FAQ

This page will hopefully answer all your questions about submitting records and time trial records to DS Ultimate for New Super Mario Bros, Super Mario 64 DS, Warioware Touched, Mario Kart DS and other games covered by this website.

What's the section about?

This very small sector is about Time Trials and mini-game records in the videogames covered by the site. It's kind of like those big record sites, but fairer and better.

What games are covered?

At present, Super Mario 64 DS, Warioware Touched, Mario Kart DS and New Super Mario Bros are covered. But in future, many bigger games will have high scores kept here.

How do I submit my times and records for each game?

First, you need a message board membership. Then, you go to the corresponding records table at the forum to submit your times in form of a normal post, with any proof required.

They will then get added once they have been read by the moderating team of the forums.

How do you know times and records aren't faked?

The users decide whether it needs investigation, like at sites such as Cyberscore then PM the administrator of the site with the record, score/time and submitter for investigation via the 'Report abuse' link.

Is there a stupid Yahoo group?

No. All times are submitted on the appropiate forum topics to cut down waiting times and stop possible errors occuring. Plus, it means I get more members for the message board!

How can I provide proof?

Give a link in your reply to that score topic. Oh, and DON'T try to upload it, as that really stops admins uploading vital board files such as icons/banners/screenshots. Also, don't actually show the picture in the topic as it gets annoying with a HUGE photo trying to load.

Where can I find out about the Ultimate Glitch Challenge and Blue Shell Challenge?

The Ultimate Glitch Challenge can be read about and entered here at the Challenge Hall page, as can the Blue Shell Challenge.

How do I beat such as such a game?

You can either go to the sector about the appropiate series, look for a walkthrough or information page then read it, or go to the forum and look for a sticky topic. You can also ask for help on the forums. Probably not wise to ask for help in the Chat Room or Guestbook though.

What Glitches/Hacks/Action Replay codes are allowed?

At the moment, all glitches are allowed. Hacking is banned and Action Replay codes are banned except for using beta/test tracks to get even more good records.

How come these records are only for a few first party games? What about third party?

They are only for games which we have records for. We don't have records for many third party games, but if you do, submit them to the staff and they will probably be made into a record or high score page.

How come I cannot get anywhere near most of these records?

About 10-20% of people here go to world record sites such as the Mario Kart Players Page, Cyberscore or possibly Twin Galaxies. There are also those who are just good at the game at a professional level, and those who played for far too long at a time to get the records. Just keep trying and you may reach their level. If not, just have fun!
