Zdlouks | Beating All the Expert Staff Ghosts in the CTGP 1.03.1134 Update! @lucasloucks | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 11 hours ago
Easier update than the last in my opinion. Thoughts on each track and ghost:
-Bowser's Termination Station: This was a pain to beat. There's so many places where your run dies due to awful bounces and wheelie locks. If it weren't for that, this expert would be so much easier to beat. However, I had to play several sections very safe just to avoid run ending bounces. I'm so glad this is getting updated soon.
-Daisy's Palace: Another hotfix with an added spiral cut. Too bad the expert doesn't use it because the ending cut is just that strong. Anyways, this expert is easy too. You can beat it Funky as well if you're bad with Daisy. I am too, but I used her because she does the spiral so much better and you can bonk in the ending cut easily with Funky.
-Dark Matter Shrine: It's less run heavy, but it's still very broken for it nonetheless (I think it's being considered for banning again if it hasn't yet???). I also don't like this track either. The blind cut ruins it for me. I hate blind cuts so much. Anyways, this expert is pretty easy. Get cut 3/3 and you're good. Even missed a trick and lost well over half a second cause of it and still beat it by quite a bit.
DS Rainbow Road: Very, very solid update. I'd wish they could get the loop to work properly, but this was really the best they could do. The way they did the twist is also very nice. Hop tricks are super cool! This expert is also pretty easy once you learn the track.
-GBA Ribbon Road: BONK!
-GCN Sherbet Land: This is an easy expert, but man this track is a pain to TT. The cave turns are awful because you can unstick from them so easily. And everything until the second ice section is a bouncy castle. The shroom can be inconsistent sometimes too. Not a fan of this update because of how it drives.
-N64 Kalimari Desert: Just some more hotfixes. Not much else to say. Easy expert. I'm glad it uses auto though. We need more auto experts whenever reasonably possible. I'd wish there'd be a track that forced it for a fun challenge.
-Obstagoon's Palace: I. LOVE. THIS. TRACK. As for the expert, a lot of people have complained it's too difficult. Idk I thought it was okay. It's definitely challenging, but it makes some mistakes. For example, it's shroomless cuts are really bad. Definitely still on the tougher side for expert ghosts, but I've dealt with far, far worse.
-Rosalina's Snow World: Thank goodness the old version is gone. This is way more consistent and less buggy in comparison. It's still not perfect, but it's the best they could do. The expert here isn't hard. You don' t need to do spiral cut. It's absolutely awful to do, so just use your shroom as you enter the ice at the start. Easy expert once you learn how to drive the track.
