How to Play TrackMania Royal: Basic Rules and Fundamentals
AUDIO TRANSCRIPT:
Hello everyone, this is Alex on behalf of TheWinkWinkCrew. Here’s a quick video on the basics/fundamentals of Trackmania’s new battle royale mode titled Royal.
This won’t be an in-depth advanced tactics type of video, just the bare necessities to help you understand the game mode and get you playing.
Royal is a gamemode where you and up to two other players on your team, must complete Wipeout-style racing courses faster than the other teams. It features up to 20 teams of 3, with 5 timed rounds, and 5 sections (colored White, Green, Blue, Red, and Black) each round. There can be up to 20 teams (60 players) in Royal, but in periods of lower player counts, matches may start with significantly fewer teams.
All teams start on the White track. When a player completes it, they may advance to Green. Their teammates may join them on the Green track, but only if this countdown ticker has made the Green track available to be hopped to. Otherwise the other teammates will need to keep attempting White until they’ve completed it.
When you see the prompt to join a teammate on the next track, do so immediately.
Scoring is based first and foremost on how many of these colored sections a team has completed, and only based secondly on how quickly your team got through that section.
So if you see that a teammate has advanced to the next section, you needn’t try to achieve a time quicker than theirs while still in your section. Simply try to join them before the ticker moves to their section, if possible, to gain any edge on the competition you can.
If your team completes all five sections, then you loop back to the first White section and keep going to complete as many sections as possible in the round's time limit.
You will notice crowns that get attributed to your teammates as you play. These simply signify how many sections these players finished before anyone else on their team. They don’t factor into the overall score of the game, and are merely bragging rights.
In the first round, one fifth of the teams are eliminated. In the second round, one fourth of the remaining teams are eliminated, and so on until the final round when only the first place team is declared the winner.
Here’s an extra tip to close this out. When it comes to moving on to the next track after crossing the finish line, it seems to be faster to hit the respawn/give up button (B on an Xbox controller, or Circle on a PlayStation controller) after you’ve entered the checkpoint than it is to wait out the animation. It could save you a few seconds. Ring us for regular livestreams from Pierce, Drew, Ethan, and a pick-your-combo of any two Winks.
