Full Game Speedrun | Forums

Hey!

For a long time I've been thinking about the possibility of doing a full game Trials Frontier speedrun. The Trials Fusion, Evolution, and HD speedruns are all incredible. That being said, they are also very different games with different limiting factors than Frontier. I'm going to list a few potential issues with speedrunning Frontier and afterwards I'll list some of my ideas of how to get past them.

#1 Issue: Gas. Most people don't have enough fuel to play 10 tracks in one sitting, let alone 200.

#2 Issue: Not all the tracks are not unlocked upon completion of the campaign. Tracks are earned in various ways, leaving the possibility of not being able to play more than half of the tracks.

#3 Issue: Tracks are still being released. Funny that this would be an issue haha,"They're still giving us new content >" hahaha. With new tracks every couple of months the time would be slowly increased, meaning that there would be no official standing world record.

I'm sure there are more, but these are three big ones. I have some solutions that could make speedrunning this game very fun. It would be for an exclusive group of people, but then again, my guess would be that only a small group of people would be dedicated enough to take on such a task.

#1 Issue Resolution: RedLynx sold the unlimited fuel outfit a year or so ago. Problem fixed right there. What sucks about that though, is that if somebody wants to get into speedrunning this game they can't because that suit is no longer for sale.
This could also be resolved by simply using rarified fuel throughout the run, but that is expensive as far as gems go, and when we get them as season rewards we don't get them often enough to break even. I would say that the unlimited gas suit is about the only option for this.

#2 Issue Resolution: I don't think that the speedrun should be of the campaign. Because if we were to restart the campaign on a new account, that would mean that we would have no unlimited gas suit, which would mean we would just have to gem like crazy to replenish our gas, which would be financially irresponsible.
What I think the speedrun should consist of is all of the mainland tracks, the cave tracks, the repaired bridge tracks, challenge track pack 2, and challenge track pack 3. I think the only tracks that should be left out are the tracks that you have to sail to up at the top of the screen to that new island. That is the only place that RedLynx is still releasing tracks to, so since tracks are no longer being released on the main map, it will be pretty set in stone that the speedrun will not change.
That being said, all tracks on the main map must be unlocked prior to the speedrun starting. This is an "I have already finished the game, let's see how fast I can play through every single track in the game" kind of speedrun. I think it would be awesome.

#3 Issue Resolution: I kind of explained how we can avoid the new content in the last resolution point. By not including the new island (which is the only place tracks are still being released) we would have a very certain set of tracks to play.

I myself do not have unlimited fuel, but if RedLynx was to put it on sale again I would have to go for it. I think this is a very fun possibility and I could see some people getting into it. Just thought I'd put my thoughts out there.

What do you guys think?

there can be multiple categories as well, so long as you define what they are. just campaign tracks, just challenge pack tracks, everything in total, platinum on everything, etc. for me, because the halloween 2015 and christmas 2015 tracks are unavailable to anyone who didn't do the event, i cannot participate in what you have outlined. (redlynx, this sucks, can't compete on leaderboards either - figure it out) i would recommend as a starting point to develop a run that is more accessible, like all the campaign tracks. run this as a NG+ type speed run, and you wouldn't have to start from scratch. this would help alleviate the gas issue that you mentioned above, as there are many less tracks.
