I'm embarrassed to say that the two things I did that caused me to improve the most had nothing to do with practice. 1. I remapped the down button to LZ/L2, unmapped the up button (for U turning), and duplicated the right button to RZ/R2 (for the new, controversial speed ghost tech). 2. I changed by TV settings to game mode. I found out I had been playing with a huge amount of video lag due to using a switch and a Samsung TV (seriously, I played like this for at least 5 months, wondering why I was having trouble with precision techniques). Once I made those changes and got used to them, I was able to plow through the rest of the dev times and get some pretty decent spots on the leaderboards. Overall though, this was pretty spot on (maybe aside from drive thru danger). I just thought it was worth mentioning that there are a few additional steps worth considering before practicing, because quality is more important than quantity when it comes to practice.
When I first played Nitro Fueled, I didn’t care about Turbo Track and always avoided it online. But after doing the Dev times, it became one of the more entertaining tracks. Especially with pro players.
I can't explain why I'm still watching these videos, even after dropping out of CTR entirely for the time being. Something about your vids really gets me, idk. But I'll try to keep this in mind if I get back into the game lol.
Thank you Viperian I really appreciate that you still are doing ctr videos, this game is on discount on the ps store so I'm sure a lot of people will join the game, I hope this game never dies. About my opinion on the tracks, if someone is a newbie the my first track would be slide coliseum with drift driving style, so I can learn how to drift boos perfectly, then I'll move on to tiny temple to learn how to keep blue flame on, then with your newly acquired skills try beat trophy and oxide, and maybe Velo, win some online matches, and the try move onto speed class, and repeat process again.
For beginners I would recommend Coco park and Crash cove because these two track can help you get comfortable with the controls and help practice boosting
Honestly I think Cortex Castle is one of the most challenging tracks. You're going incredibly fast and u-turning is required to handle most of the twists and turns. Not to mention it's hard to find places to get good drift boosts with all the turns. Not to mention there's plenty of small things you can do to improve your time like the spiders or cutting small corners
Oxide is kinda easy, I have beaten all of his ghosts with acceleration, now with drift, if I can paraphrase the legendary Rock n’ Roll Racing from SNES; “Oxide is another time zone” Just hung the left walls and power slide the sh*t out of it
@@azazel166 For sure, I've said Accel just as an example of how easy Oxide is, since I could beat him with a not so good racing style. Today I think the situation is: Accel = beginner Drift = intermediary (my personal choice) Speed = Advanced anything but that I just ignore
Really nice tips, I would add Android Alley to the beginner list, that track is really nice to learn some U-turn, reserve managment reflexes and race lines.
I fully agree with Thunder truck in the top spot, but Drive - Thru Danger honestly tests a little bit of everything. While I used to be intimidated by Gingerbread Joyride, I can say that those two should probably be swapped. Drive-Thru is notably more technical and Joyride is more of an honorable mention. Also, you are an absolute mad lad putting Slide Coliseum in the beginner section. At a low level of play, it isn't too bad at all. For optimal play (faster than dev time), it is notoriously technical. Strongly disagree with its placement.
I think for the real beginners tracks like Coco park could do well to just practice drift boosting, it is very wide, thus fairly forgiving if you screw it up. Tiny Temple is good for learning to maintain blue fire, as it is also very wide and the turns are not bad if you can drift boost (except for the one before the blue fire pad). Beating Oxide in Tiny Temple last year really taught me a lot about the mechanics.
Kinda funny, I think I can be placed as an intermediary player but and lately I was practicing at Thunderstruck, Cortex’s Castle and now on Oxide Station but something I really need to learn is the Dragon Mines shortcut and the cloudy shortcut at Hot Air Skyway. ---------- Edit: Dragon mines shortcut, learned with Viperian’s video, thank you so much kindly sir.
Very nice and Informative video, I am busy a lot and don't get to play CTR as much as I want. But I will be free these next 2 days. I am currently 16 tracks away from the master wheels. Since I am not good at u turning with the analog stick. I might start to try using the directional pads in certain sections of the tracks so that I am able to beat those tracks. Hopefully I can beat 30 tracks by the end of tomorrow. Thanks again for your videos.
Nothing brings more pleasure than intimidating others with Digital Tropy skin, along with the champion kart with the velo decal, while using the master wheels.
For me, it's a bit unnerving to race against someone who has the Master Wheels(knowing that he went through Tartarus itself for them). As for Digital Tropy, I know I'm racing against someone who has hit the above-average level.
I have a couple of my own notes for any new players that read this. 1: U-Turning is definitely a good thing to learn but if you're like me and can't get the hang of it then Air Braking can help. You can even do a discount U-Turn by rapidly spamming Air Brake. 2: While Speed is likely the best Class, you can pick the Class that feels best to you. I personally play Balanced. You can also have different Classes that you like playing for different tracks. 3: It's likely that, unless you are absolutely good at the game, Speed and Drift are probably needed to beat a good majority of the Dev Times. I have beaten the Cortex Castle Dev Time with Balanced and it wasn't easy so the extra speed from Speed and Drift is very nice if you can handle it. 4: If you have trouble understanding the turns of a track try the track in Mirror Mode at least once. I could not wrap my head around Megamix Mania in its regular form but I absolutely love and dominate it on Mirror Mode.
I for one think that people who managed to beat the Developer times shouldn't use Speed if they are not comfortable with it. And I'm saying this because I've seen people with the Master wheels mess up in Online quite a lot.
Returned to this video to tell ya: Twilight Tour as Beginner is the one I have hard time to maintain BF, because I either hit the wooden pad, and immediatley lost it OR even after the sand hill, near the starting position. Or just lost SF right away before hitting BF Turbo Pad :/ Electron Avenue or Tiny Temple is even better for BF practising.
For me, I'll just use Turning or Acceleration driving style to learn maintaining blue fire on each track, when I'm confident enough, I use more Advanced driving style
PiscesGamer98 hey man! Consider learning the speed engine or the drift one, accel isn’t too bad but in ctr stricter turning is actually better, lines are far more straight when drift boosting and it’s honestly easier to chain multiple drifts together using a more “advanced” class. Better turning is actually counter intuitive to the mechanics of the game
@@jaybeanysan8465 I already learned Speed and Drift engine. I use them for beating the dev times, but I beat mostly with Drift. But for regular online races, I like to stick with Turn and Acceleration because they're the most comfortable engine for me.
Im gonna train the Pro Tracks,I think I’m very good,but I need to train a little more,thanks for the video,excellent video seriously,thanks for the hints
great video but i think papu's and slide are too hard for beginners.. instead I'd like to recommend koala and tiny temple for holding fire and turbo track for U turning.💖
When you fail a section on the first lap, do you find it best continuing on and trying to beat the time trial whilst seeing if you can beat it in later laps or just restart all over again? I’m new trying to practice Papu’s pyramid and constantly fail at the very beginning.
@@TheRusty7 For me, Megamix Mania was the easiest of those three(despite all the crap on the track to deter you). Out of Time was quite something, the second shortcut(the fence) was the deciding factor of the entire race, losing blue fire on that would mean the end. But if you manage to keep it until halfway of the final lap, then you have won(as Velo loses his blue fire on the third lap). Now Gingerbread Joyride, I don't even know where to begin when it comes to describing this track. All I will say is that it left a literal scar on my right thumb(which took quite the effort to stop the bleeding) and almost cost me a controller.
@@Aperson-tg4hf You can, I myself thought that I'd never do, but I did learn it after some practice. First of all, DO NOT use the analog stick, EVER, use the D-pad. Try Dragon Mines at first, as soon as you get to the turning of the corkscrew, hold down the breaks, along with down and right on the D-pad and press R1(RB on Xbox) repeatedly. Then try Electron Avenue, the first shortcut requires you to do an air-break which is an airborne U-turn, here instead of pressing R1 to hop repeatedly, you are going to use it once for the jump as soon as you hit the Turbo Pad, then immediately hold down the breaks along with down and right on the D-pad.
Lol I'm practicing in original CTR cause i don't have any consoles to play this game with. But maybe in december I'm buying a switch just for this game.
It's not that difficult to master once you get the fundamentals of U-turning down. The first U-turn may be tricky, as you have to hit the boost pad in an odd fashion so you can perform the jump, but the rest of them aren't that complicated.
I have to disagree. Electron is considered to be a very beginner friendly to those that are new to u turning. You will be surprised that I used this track to practice U-Turning in my early hours of play!

Still struggling beating Oxide time trial on Crash Cove today. Wish me luck 😁😁
Nice tips btw! 👍
Good luck, You'll need it!

“Oxide is another time zone”
Just hung the left walls and power slide the sh*t out of it
@@elChirrinChirriondelDiablo I'm using speed all the time. Will give a shot with acceleration today 😁👍
You should use Speed in relatively simple tracks.
Other styles won't help you in them.
@@azazel166 For sure, I've said Accel just as an example of how easy Oxide is, since I could beat him with a not so good racing style. Today I think the situation is:
Accel = beginner

Really nice tips, I would add Android Alley to the beginner list, that track is really nice to learn some U-turn, reserve managment reflexes and race lines.
I try avoiding adding too easy tracks like Coco park and Android, surpassing limit is one route to greatness!
The medium and expert tracks feel awesomely rewarding if you manage to keep blue fire for the whole race.
Something I forgot to point out.
Use the D-pad(yeah, like the old days back on PS1), DO NOT use the analog stick, it won't help you with U-turning.
preach!

I'd add Tiny Arena to that list. if you want to master that track, you need very good u-turning skills, and reserve management

Yes all what you said in the video right
Those are best tracks for pro
i have beaten Velo on your 3 Pro tracks;Turbo track, Dragon mines and Thunder struck :)
No
Suggestion: They should make TH-camr times (WumpaLewis, The Viperian, Mister Bo and TheRealNeil.)
I would not recommend doing them
They stopped updating the game recently....
@@jackiemitchell1350 I know, it was just an idea. I unfortunately know that the Beenox update was the last
They should most definitely not make Jordy925's time as he holds the World Record, no one's beating that.

Im gonna train the Pro Tracks,I think I’m very good,but I need to train a little more,thanks for the video,excellent video seriously,thanks for the hints
Drive thru danger isn't a good track for praticing U turn and fast reflex (for the multiple shortcut) ?
DTD is good too, Honorable mention!
Try Dragon Mines for the U-turn, that's how I got the hang of it(and I really hated that track before).
I say practice all of them, and this is coming from someone who didn't even know how to power slide back on PS1.
Ooh i love dragon mines and oxide station but truly hate deep sea driving.
Crash Nitro Fueled - Today's challenge is to beat one of Viperian's race times on a track
Me - Oh shhhhh......
Game over 🤣🤣
great video but i think papu's and slide are too hard for beginners.. instead I'd like to recommend koala and tiny temple for holding fire and turbo track for U turning.💖
Yes
Great video!
This is surprising. Most of my favorite tracks are in Pro Sections 😂
U know what I'm gonna try this
Nice the viperian! First comment let’s goooo ❤️
NOICE
This is a good video man . I haven’t seen anything like this on yt for kart racing before
Cool vid. And turns out I'm still a -beginner,- *noob* despite having over 500 hours in the game (which means nothing at all)
I'm sadden you didn't put Luigi circuit as a pro track
Nice choices for new comers tho
Intermediate Tracks
Viperian: DSD
😂👌
It's a pretty intermediate one, once you get the hang of it.
The biggest obstacle are the last two fans at the end.
What makes someone a "pro" at this game in your opinion?
If they can conquer velo times in all tracks
If they can U-turn
When you fail a section on the first lap, do you find it best continuing on and trying to beat the time trial whilst seeing if you can beat it in later laps or just restart all over again? I’m new trying to practice Papu’s pyramid and constantly fail at the very beginning.
If its dev times, just restart. If velo or oxide, still got chance
The Viperian Non, just general practice. I’m not trying to beat a ghost just get better at the turns
I need 20 - 50 attempts to beat Velo but i will do it all some day including DEV times
i have faith in you!
@@TheViperian thnx for support
What tracks do you have problems with?

The only thing holding me back from being a legend is the fact that I CANNOT U-TURN (I have watched several guides but I cannot) 😥😥😥
Ikr, I struggle to even use the D-pad
I'm surprised that tiny arena is not here.
When I first got the game. I made the mistake if starting off with Thunder Struck instead of Crash Cove! OOF!
My first dev time track was Out of Time. omg 10 days of pain.
You need a tier for people like me (can't U-turn but can do everything else)
Well then that would be Turbo Track.
@@Jagerbomber Impossible
@@Aperson-tg4hfThe S-curve is the best spot to learn a clean U-Turn.

Bro thanks your content top
Dude I just made it onto top 100 for electron Avenue
Nice
Tbh I learnt everything I just make a lot of stupid mistakes, and lose my fire easily
Haven't completely master u turning but still practicing thunderstruck
Lol😅😅😅
I've made the platinum relic and done the dev Times BUT I still just think I'm not good at this game😅
Best one is obviously Drive thru danger
I learned how to u turn corners on electron Avenue with cheat codes
I really want to get back into this game.. but the loading times kill me
Maybe your not on ps4 the que times are usually pretty good
Nothing will ever be Wrath of cortex
Lol I'm practicing in original CTR cause i don't have any consoles to play this game with. But maybe in december I'm buying a switch just for this game.
Just a small preemptive advice before you get the Switch: Stick with the d-pad, the analog stick won't help you at all.
@@azazel166 yeah cause it is more accurate for airbrakes and u-turns.
Android alley for beginners
Tiny arena for intermediate
N gin labs intermidiate
Legends português Brazil! Please!!!!
