Cruis'n USA -- Chicago WR? 1:17.80

As of 7/14/08, I believe this is the world record for Chicago on Cruis'n USA for the N64. What I don't get is how the other time ended in a 1 (usually they end in 0, 3 or 7) so the guy may round up or down, I'm not sure. I'm fairly certain this is a WR though.

This was recorded on an ACTUAL Nintendo 64 console, not on an emulator or the Wii VC version.

The split times were really funky because I had completed a somewhat impossible run without the traffic, long story short, game rounded the numbers weirdly. But this run is actually 100% legit.

And what you'll realize about this run is how generous the game was with the traffic during the elevated rail. Two guys got stuck behind the poles. Even if they moved out in the middle of the road and I swerved and avoided them, it could've cost me the record. I mean, the tunnel is actually quite predictable (but difficult, nonetheless) but the elevated rail--everything bad that can happen WILL HAPPEN during this part of the track, and I can tell you stories about it too.

My God, I played this level for like 15 hours nonstop and it led to a total breakdown of my body and emotions as I failed again and again and churned out numerous .83's and countless .90's. But I did it. I promised that I would quit within five minutes and go to bed but instead I finished with .80, beat the existing world record by ONE HUNDREDTHS OF A SECOND (which is .01 second) and I got it all on tape too.

Thank you God.

VERY NICE!!

Chicago is a bitch of a track, but you pulled it off nicely. If only it was that easy in the arcade version!!

[Eric4372]

Thanks, man. This is the hardest track in the history of racing games. You gotta turn on a dime and not swerve or you'll lose precious milliseconds. I'm probably never gonna attempt a speed run at this track again. I'm not that hardcore of a speedrunner.

[taranchula97]

You're saying that the old record was 1:17.81?

[Eric4372]

yes

I played a hacked version of this game with additional cars ported over from Cruis'n World. I used the Banzai GTV and put up a record time of 1:14.37 on this track!!

[AquaDuck154]

holy shit just fucking beat it!!!! i just got 1:17:77!!!!!!!! wooooooooooooooooo

[SEGAZealot]

Yeah was a world reacord because no one is stupid enough to play this trash game. Eugene Jarvis' worst ever moment was making this piece of shit.

[AquaDuck154]

any1 can get a very high recoed. heres a few key things u need to do: cut corners as much as possible, avoid swerving, always take risks as much as possible, never go off the road. even a slight bump off can cost you presious milliseconds. and finally, know what is coming. you have to play the level alot to work out the kinks. then go for the record

[Houza123]

The official world record is actually 1:14.890

[omfgpainkillers]

[Vivaldi290]
