    Please rank you hardest 5 tracks to Plat

    Just curious what people consider to be the 5 toughest tracks to get Plat for in this game. Use whatever criteria you want; but consider these factors; the ones you had to learn new skills to get by, the amount of upgrades required. . .in general, the ones you had to invest a lot of time and effort to get Plat on.

    Please rank them from 1-5 (1 is hardest). Feel free to add honorable mentions if you cant really decide (I'll rank them all as 6).

    Once I've gotten a few replies, I'll start keeping an ongoing adjusted ranking in this post.

    (Adjusted rankings so far will be shown here)



    My personal list:

    1 Quagmire
    2 Balance Avenue
    3 Alpha Street
    4 Hilltop Ghetto
    5 Stilted Path

    Honorable Mentions
    - Casino Rooftop (Got a lot easier later)
    - Firefly Landing
    - Flaming Freeway
    - Pendulum

    the hardest for me were

    1. balance ave
    2. quagmire
    3. casino rooftop

    those were the last two for me to get platinum and it took me days if not weeks and months to get them. nothing else stands out.

    The Quagmire
    Hilltop Ghetto

    Casino Rooftop
    Toad hole

    I still only have bronze medals on the first two, so I'm guessing it will be a hot minute before I plat them.

    1) Quagmire (2:36,37 @ 38 faults)
    2) Balance Avenue (1:30,68 @ 6 faults)
    3) Hilltop Ghetto (0:43,0 @ 6 faults)
    4) Casino Rooftop (0:31,72 @ 0 faults)
    5) Stilted Path (0:23,05 @ 1 faults)

    And the Island of course!
    I dont have there a single plat, just 4 gold and 2 silver.
    and only 2 track without faults

    March Edge is driving me nuts at the moment, i had 19:004 now three times, and plat limit is 19:000...

    Statistically, the choice is easy. Less people have platinum on The Quagmire than any other race. The problem with that statistic is that there are also less people who have highly upgraded Berserker bikes. Ideally, the ranking list would be based on the bikes being equally upgraded. Until I try Quagmire with a level 10 Berserker, I can't say for sure if it's harder than Balance Avenue with a level 10 mantis.

    My hardest: (I can't remember the rest, but I had about 10 total that were very hard for me)
    1. The Quagmire
    2. Balance Avenue

    Haven't even gotten quagmire yet, nor have I bothered trying to Platinum balance avenue for fear of anba retribution, but I quite enjoyed it as a track. It felt like what trials should be: a challenge. Even if frustrating a tiny bit

    1: Balance Avenue (0:26.891, 0 faults)
    2: Garbage Route (0:24.566, 0 faults)
    3: Alpha Street (0:18.799, 0 faults)
    4: Firefly Landing (0:21.099, 0 faults)
    5: Toad Hole (0:20.945)

    Honorable Mentions:
    --Melancholy Temple (0:33.177, 0 faults)
    --Mud Cakes (0:22.927, 0 faults)
    --The Grindhouse (0:20.811, 0 faults)
    --Road to Ruin (0:26.833, 0 faults)

    I have Balance Avenue, Garbage Route, and Firefly Landing that are yet to be plat'd, and I started doing worse on times when I upgraded my Mantis from 4-3-3-3 to 4-4-4-4.

    Plus, Balance Avenue's end has "ruined run" written all over it.

    The only track I can think of is the only one I don't have: Quagmire!
