Blindfold Mario Kart 64

Some of you check the MK64 site and may have seen the thread on this started by Patricio.

Here is a blindfold run of LR fast lap by me  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHaDa8nsV_8

Here is a run by shadow  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qd7nV2BZyrU

I took an hour yesterday to play around with this and started getting pretty consistent.  42"xx - 43"xx NTSC  The video is a 41"62 and was my best attempt.

A sub 40"00 NTSC would be very strong I think.  Use the music to time you first few moves to get to the tunnel.  The sound of exiting the tunnel usually gives a decent idea of where you are.

Try it for more than 10 minutes.

Has anyone done this for GE or PD?

It's basically impossible for most tracks and levels for both games, LR shroom idea so you get into the tunnel was good tho.

Yeah most tracks would be horrendous, but I think LR has a special niche for this.  Im glad you noticed the shroom/tunnel idea.  In shadows video it is shown the right side of the tunnel acts as a funnel.  Timing the end of the outside wall with the music and then going into the grass gives a very consistent tunnel hit.  Some tree hits though.

Clipping the grass to the right leaving the runnel, re entering the road, then continuing into the inside grass/sand gives a good idea for the second half, which I got lucky with on that video and kinda realized it last second.  Was shocked I actually hit the shroom mt lol

It's not super insane, but I've trained myself to play an entire Mushroom Cup with my FEET (was a ploy to get a run into AGDQ 2016), can consistently get gold trophies with this. I can also lay upside down and play the game completely normally lol.

Sorry Ngamer told me to bring this up in the topic, I certainly can't do a blindfolded run!

Jimbo you can definitely beat my blindfold run.

If you get four golds on 150cc special cup with your feet on video I will give you $20.  This offer expires 8/1/16.

I will give the first person who can sub 40"00 NTSC on LR blindfolded with a video $20.  This is an outstanding offer.

Jimbo, you have a chance to make $40.

I never would have thought this to be possible!  Pure insanity!

Definitely gonna give the sub 40"00 a run! Getting four golds on the other tracks is too much work at the moment but I'm fairly sure I can get ONE lap of LR down pat and beat the 40.

You asked me what I was going to do with that extra $40 from poker...
