💡 Online Time Trial Game Mode in Retro Rewind FAQs:

1. This is the first episode that features the full Online Time Trial game mode released in Pulsar and implemented into Retro Rewind. All previous episodes were a partially adapted version. All future episodes feature the full Online Time Trial game mode.
2. Runs do not save in this game mode. If you get an overall PB, it technically will not count on TT leaderboards as it isn't set via CTGP and no ghost data is saved to be analyzed (people have already been cheating in a few lobbies).
3. Your "finishing time" and the time you see on the leaderboard can be off up to 1 frame (~.016/.017 I believe). From what I understand this is a Wimmfi/server related quirk.
4. If you see the finishing placement flash between placements after crossing the finish line (explaining some reactions I have after directly crossing the finish line), this game mode includes a code that allows you to see your updated placement as more racers cross the finish line before the final leaderboard is generated when the race concludes.
5. For those that have been asking, I would love to do a separate series to do a season 2 of the Online TT Lounge down the line if enough activity can support a full series; even at its peak activity a few years ago, after event ~30 or so general activity was significantly decreased.
6. I use an external input viewer to capture my controller inputs (I use the Gamecube controller). I use a software called Retro Spy that displays the input viewer's captured inputs. I chroma key the background of a input skin and made a custom layout in Photoshop to match the Retro Rewind theming of silver.
7. Abbreviations: IDB (inside drift bike), DNF (did not finish), UMT (ultra mini turbo for when karts had them enabled), RR World Record (the fastest known time in the Retro Rewind version of a track, "World Record" is denoted on its own for the 32 vanilla tracks.
8. Green text for either my series best or the competitor's series best means this was a new best made in the race you just watched. These are some fun stats we are keeping track of for the entire series and to give more context for the weight of the times achieved by all racers, and gives context for new people watching the series for the first time who have not watched older episodes.
