    Platinum medals per Track - WARNING: STATISTICS IN THREAD!

    So a couple weeks ago I got bored, and was curious about which tracks had the most (and least) platinum medals. Turns out going through the leaderboards one page at a time is a pretty inefficient method Did it, though, and got some numbers for the statistically curious.

    If the boards let me, I'll paste in the entire list, but I'll use this top post to point out some interesting factoids. (Disclaimer: these numbers are several weeks old, so are somewhat out of date, the leaderboards change quicker than you probably think. But all scores were taken the same day, so they should be roughly in proportion to the current leaderboard state.)

    First up is the highest number of scores per release. These numbers can't be correlated directly to product sales (multiple silver accounts on the same profile, or people that play completely offline), but it does give us an interesting picture of the ratios of purchases of the main game vs each DLC.

    HIGHEST NUMBER OF SCORES PER RELEASE
    [list:1nii3bn4][*:1nii3bn4]TrialsHD: Middle Name: Danger. 1,806,980 scores, 96,560 platinums (5.34%)[/*:m:1nii3bn4]
    [*:1nii3bn4]Big Pack: Where's the Sky? 458,916 scores, 25,382 platinums (5.53%)[/*:m:1nii3bn4]
    [*:1nii3bn4]Big Thrills: Ode to Joy. 262,056 scores, 21,721 platinums (8.11%)[/*:m:1nii3bn4][/list:u:1nii3bn4]

    Next are the highest and lowest % platinum on races, tournaments and skill games. Keep in mind this is a % of only those that actually complete the track. This is probably a decent measure of whether a platinum time is set too low or too high for a track. Could be skewed by the fact that better riders are more likely to purchase the DLC packs.

    Highest and lowest % of Platinums (races)

    Wow, over half a million platinums on Down the stairs! Absolute high/low platinum count gives a slightly different perspective, but skewed highly based on how many people purchased that DLC:

    As you can see, absolute fewest platinums was on the Nervous Breakdown tournament from Big Thrills (only 87 Plats at the time I gathered these stats).

    One other notable note:
    The Midnight Club from Big Pack was the only platinum you can get with more than zero faults.
    Midnight Club had 24,742 scores, 235 platinum (0.95%)

    If anyone is interested, I'll try to see if there is a way I can either post or link to the full list of data. Let me know if anyone finds this interesting enough for me to do that, or let me know if you have any questions about the stats for a specific track.

    Hope you find this as interesting as I did!

    Re: Platinum medals per Track - WARNING: STATISTICS IN THREA

    Seeing those stats actually makes me feel that I'm not too bad at Trials after all.
    Though I am still missing 5-6 platinums they are all from tournaments.
    It just goes to show how difficult Trials is.

    I was thinking the same thing, I've got 97 platinums I think, but after seeing this I'm kind of proud of that number.

    I found it interesting that more people have platinum on Fantasy Cup than nervous breakdown or Big Thrills Countdown.

    Re: Platinum medals per Track - WARNING: STATISTICS IN THREA

    Very impressive MegaTrain! I hope you don't mind me using your hard work to come up with some numbers myself . These are the average platinum percentages for every race combined in each track pack release. I think it shows one of two things:

    1. Better players were more likely to purchase DLC, therefore skewing platinum percentages higher for DLC tracks (most likely scenario)
    2. Redlynx made DLC platinum times easier to achieve (not as likely, but maybe the criticism of the game's difficulty played a small factor, even subconsciously)

    Trials HD, Easy Races, Building Blocks...Smooth Jumps (6 Tracks), avg. plat % = 2.50%
    Big Thrills, Easy Races, Daredevil...Underwater (8 tracks), avg. platinum % = 3.97%

    Trials HD, Medium Races, Where's the Ground...Jolly Jumper (11 tracks), avg. plat % = 2.30%
    Big Pack, Medium Races, Workshop...Pipe Network (14 tracks), avg. platinum % = 3.47%
    Big Thrills, Medium Races, Secret Base...Crow's Dojo (13 tracks), avg. plat % = 3.84 %

    Hard:
    Trials HD, (8 Tracks), 1.50%
    Big Pack, (9 tracks), 2.20%
    Big Thrills (15 tracks), 2.76%

    Extreme:
    Trials HD, (4 tracks), 1.66%
    Big Pack, (2 tracks), 1.35%
    Big Thrills (3 tracks), 1.77%

    I think the general consensus was Reality Check is one of the hardest plat times. This seems to confirm that. Groundhog Begins/Returns, Container Rush, and Unfair Bombardment are the only tracks with a lower percentage of platinum's, but since all of those tracks are original game tracks, those numbers are probably skewed toward hit and run players who mostly bought and played only the original game.

    Also, I find it interesting that the extreme track numbers did not move very much at all, although the sample size may be a bit too small to really say. I do feel, however, that the Big Pack extreme tracks (Greatest Hits and Diabolic) are more difficult than either of the other two extreme track groups.
