a neat little side project I decided to work on, I know it's not the fast and exciting all tracks that's the norm, but, I decided to challenge the idea of: "can this be done at all in a reasonable setting"?
These are the first two countries, done on Championship Mode (hardest difficulty)

What is X used for in this run

X is only pressed to either speed up to 1st from 20th, or a lost position, or getting a better angle on 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 5th to keep 1st place.

What About Nitros

  1. Nitros are used for emergencies only, in the case I need to rebound off of outside objects to stay afloat in 1st place.

Q&A

"Why is minimal nitro in the title if it is slightly inaccurate?" | Minimal doesn't mean "None" in the concept of usage. Nitros are only depleted if it's needed.
"Why are you holding X for long periods of time during the first race"? | It's something I wanted to gloss over, to get the viewer's expectation high, because not soon after lap 3 do I stop holding X ENTIRELY.
"Is this movie more of a challenge run or a playaround"? | Both! Since I playaround by changing gears occasionally and not pressing X for entire races, which forces me to find new alternate routes, even if it means to crash intentionally.
For now, this is only 29 minutes of Countries 1 & 2 (will consider continuing sometime down the line).
