[TAS] Cruis'n World Arcade (2/3) Humvee in 21:11.27
23Tool-assisted speedrun (TAS) of Cruis'n World Arcade (2/3) Humvee in 21:11.27
GOAL:
-Complete the game as quickly as possible
-Try to beat the times on Twin Galaxies at:

-The first thing you learn while playing this game is that you never need to brake or release the gas pedal. All curves can be taken at full speed, but you lose speed when sliding.
-I did not see any advantage in choosing the manual transmission
-I did 3 TAS of this game improving my times in each one. I decided to post all three, not just the last one, because I think there's something fun to look at in all of them.
-1 - El Diablo in 21:41.54 https://youtu.be/Ls-OX71fxrY
-2 - Humvee in 21:11.27 This video
-3 - Road King in 20:52.36 https://youtu.be/VHbRSziEePk
-As my main goal is to achieve the best possible time, I didn't mind not finishing first. To finish first, you have to be a little lucky. The first cars must be involved in an accident, otherwise the chances of finishing first are very slim.
===Special moves:
------See the pinned comment for the list---------
===Comments:
-For this video I selected the Humvee because it is the fastest of the lot.
-I tried to do a 'Jumbo Flip' at every opportunity, on every jump, to get 1 second bonus as many times as possible.
-Australia: Even if I managed to do 8 'Jumbo Flip' I'm not close to the time posted on Twin Galaxies (1:14.69 vs 01:08.99) I'm probably missing something but what? (I'll find out later in this game)
-China: I managed to do 5 'Jumbo Flips' instead of 2 during my first TAS.
-Egypt: I did 2 more 'Jumbo Flips' than my first TAS to improve my time by 2 seconds but without beating the time on Twin Galaxies (1:32.58 vs 01:27.60).
-Moscow: This time, I didn't find a way to do a 'Jumbo Flip' on the first jump but I still beat my first time, probably just because this car is a little faster.
-Germany, Italy, France: I am more than 2 seconds slower than the times posted on Twin Galaxies. Since these routes have few jumps, I don't see how I could be faster. But there must be a trick that I don't know.
-Mexico: I found that the material on the side of the road has less friction than that of the gravel road, so you accelerate faster and have a higher maximum speed. Nowhere else in the game can I race at 152 mph.
-Mexico: By chance I discovered the 'Mega Roll' which gives 2 seconds of bonus instead of 1. Mexico is the best place to do this move because there are many opportunities to do it. With 8 'Mega Roll' I smashed the Twin Galaxies' time (1:20.40 against 1:37.54). I think I've found what to do to beat other times.
===Notable Moments:
-0:10 I used the view buttons to select another car and change its color. Hold view 1 or 2 for a selection of 8 more cars. Press View 3 to change color.
-1:50 Turn the corner on two wheels (double-tap the accelerator when turning a corner)
-6:32 No matter what I tried, the game kept warping me on the track, I couldn't find a way to stay on the side road, losing speed because of it.
-16:41 and 18:05 I did a Wheelie so as not to slow down too much due to an inevitable collision
-21:24 If you complete England first, the UFO will abduct you.
-22:10 I discovered the 'Mega Roll'
-22:34 Constant 152 mph proving that the green surface has less friction than the road
-22:42 and 23:10 I abuse the logic of the collision with the outside of the road to get back on the road faster than expected
-27:22 Using the Humvee horn makes the machine gun fire instead
===Shortcuts:
-Hawaii 0:51
-China 6:30 and 7:00
-Mexico 22:41 and 23:09
-New York 25:10 and 25:18
-I found 1 more (no so) hidden shortcut in my third video.
-In conclusion I was not able to beat the times on Twin Galaxies for the tracks where there are not many jumps. There's definitely something I don't know. Do you know? For my next TAS, I will try to do as many "Mega Rolls" as possible to improve some of my times.
-Everything I did in these TAS is achievable by a human with a little luck (or not just a little?). I didn't use any special tricks or cheats, just precision driving.
