Have you ever posted in the current Switch thread?
All the time, though I thought the title was just a pun!

I did pocket a time of 1'54 something, but I'll have to load my switch up to check the screenshot tomorrow eve.

Mute City I - 01'41"88 (Golden Fox)My best laps equate to 01'41''07 but I'm more than happy with this. I need to play a different level.

I take it that's doing the infinite boosting trick with the Golden Fox.
I've tried that but I don't really like doing it so I think this is where I bow out.

Yes though most of the deficit came from learning how to do the boost start properly.
Could do a Golden Fox-less table if you prefer

Thats the 8th fastest time on Speedrun.com by the way!
I might try it out again but I just couldn't get the hang of it before.

Drummy always was a big hitter back in the F Zero GX leagues, but that time shocks me!
I had a crack at infinite boosting, but it seemed slower as you lose top speed once you lose all your boost bar.

Infinite boosting trick?

Once you've used all your boost you can continue to get small mini-boosts. Your top speed does slightly drop but if you can time it right you should still save time overall because you've been able to utilise all your boost.
On MC1 for example, I use it from just before the final corner up until the energy zone at the start.

Hoping to have some time later to at least put down some baseline times for the other courses to get on the board!

I just came in to post my pre-recorded Big Blue time of 1'54'44 but that is now redundant, but not surprised there was an extra 3 seconds in there as I got to that time pretty quickly.
