Noob Plays Countdown Mode/Custom Tracks Online (Mario Kart Wii) (Livestream #10)
14It's time to switch things up a bit with Countdown mode!
Countdown is a custom game mode to CTGP (find out more at https://www.chadsoft.co.uk/) where you have to get the furthest around the track before time runs out, but each time you hit someone, you get a point which grants you an additional 3 seconds to race, up to a maximum of 10 points, giving you 30 more seconds to race!
There are 2 main strategies to this game mode:
1. Stick around at the start to get loads of points from hitting people to get more time to race, then since you're in a lower position, you can use better items to take shortcuts and catch up to people adopting strategy 2! However, this may backfire if you can't get points quickly enough, or there aren't enough shortcuts on the track to catch up to the others!
2. Race ahead of others, prioritising gaining a lead over people adopting strategy 1 while laying traps, so while you might not have as much time to race, you'll be further ahead to begin with so they might not be able to catch up! However, this may backfire if you can't gain a big enough lead, or there are too many shortcuts on the track!
Which strategy you choose often depends on your preferred style and what track you're playing on.
Overall, this is a very exciting and interesting game mode which can be even more unpredictable than normal mario kart! It's really fun to play, even if I do suck at it :P
In the event that I no-one is online, I'll play for more custom tracks online, like last stream.
