Race to the Finish

[axemangx]

Well, seeing is on how Sakurai is going mode-happy, I'd thought I'd like to remind you all about a certain stage.

Race to the Finish.

Race to the finish was a simple part in classic mode where you went through obstacles, distracted and knocked away characters, and ran as fast as you can. Perhaps, it Brawl, it will be alot HARDER for gliders because they can put, perhaps, glide-proof parts to the stage. Perhaps, also, they could make each character have their own RTTF? Hmm. Possibilities eh? Like, enemies from the Subspace, etc etc... Perhaps even Giant enemies.

I expect this to be back, although having character specific levels, or at least multiple levels for it, would be much more interesting.

After a while it just got really simple.

A two-player, race-to-the-finish game mode would be entertaining, I must say.

I could see Captain Falcon and Fox racing down the course, while attacking and slowing down each other, oh this option is a bloody good idea my friend!

Screw 2-player! How about 4-player?

Simply awesome. Hey, they added multiplayer, online homerun contest! Anything is possible!

major problem: Look at ssbm's RTTF, its huge, imagine how wind the screen could get.... OR! if someone falls behind they simply die >

RACE TO THE FINISH
*jumps over first guy*
*jumps over bombs but gets owned by one that falls out when he jumps*
*rolls past second guy*
*dodges a bumper and then gets owned as he gets juggled by the same three ones*
*gets faceplanted by third guy and dashes to exit*
SUCCESS!

good times

Sonic would kill all in that mode.

 

[The Nerd]

I imagine there will be some kind of Race to the Finish in SSE, although it would be cool if there was one for Classic, or even a multiplayer one.

 

[Kokaloo]

Sonic would kill all in that mode.

That's why the time limit for Sonic would be 8 and 1/2 seconds.

 

[Magnacor]

A Stadium mode version of this would be cool. Perhaps they could make it like Target Test and have 5 maps that you can play on with varying difficulty.

 

[Bli33ard]

This would be sweet.

Multiple levels like Break the Target would be hardcore HAX. Seriously. Multiplayer mode would just be crazizzle.

theyt have to keep it its apart of the older ones

 

[heety9]

For the 2 player, they could cut the screen in half, one player on one half, another on another half.

Multiplayer sounds like it could be awesome fun, but they'd have to implemenet a way to prevent one character from getting too far ahead...

For example, say it was Sonic vs Mario, after the initial bit of fighting, once Sonic gets a fair stretch again Mario is powerless to slow him down, let alone win the race.

they already have that, check the co-op mode in the smash bros site.
but ya a RTTF two player sounds like fun.

 

[Kirby_M@ster]

But do you really think that co-op solution would work for a race type game?

Then again, what other solution is there?

 

[Homelessvagrant]

They should make it have like target test where there is 5 stages for each difficulty. And people should be able to select it from options like target test.

 

[Shadowclaw]

It would indeed be interesting to have character specific Race to the Finish, as well as multiple levels, but I don't see a 2-player mode happening. There's no way a slow character like Bowser or Ike could beat a fast one like Fox (let alone Sonic). There wouldn't be much variety in that sense as everyone would be selecting pretty much the same characters.

 

[Wight]

this will probably be taken to the next level. In melee there were three directions you could go, all different. I would expect there would now be up, down, left, right, all with different techniques required. okay maybe not down, but all the others.

actually a character like bowser or kirby could take advantage of a down route with their down specials.

 

[rockmace]

well, since this game is using resources of most games, and sakurai said that coins werent going to be used for shop, then I have a theory (not necessarily good )

If anyone is has played sonic adventure 1, I'm sure it'll sound familiar. For those who haven't, I'll explain it briefly.

In sonic adventure1, there was an action stage, Casinopolis, where sonic had to get the chaos emerald, wich was in a very high place in the vault of the casino. How could he possible get there?
Of course, gathering the biggest pile of rings he could, so you go trough the stage, or the pinballs, gathering as much as 400 rings, if I recall, then dropping them in the vault, allowing sonic to reach those high places.

so, if coins aren't going to be used for shop, and if race to the finish were back, then , a very unorthodox way of allowing new passages would be with those coins, (stacking them up or something so unpractical)


hope is just my paranoia

 

[Desruprot]

Classic is back, so Race to the Finish has to be back, it was in the other games, it is in the same situation as Break the Targets as a part of Classic mode...

 

[maxieman]

I hope you can select it from the menu instead of playing classic halfway through just to do a minigame
