Cruis'n World is the 1996 sequel to the 1994 arcade racer Cruis'n USA. Cruis'n World allows players to race on various tracks around the world. The game also features more cars than Cruis'n USA. This game introduced stunts to the Cruis'n series. They served to dodge obstacles, take close curves, and gain extra seconds of time. from: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cruis%27n_World Tool-assisted speedrun (TAS) of Cruis'n World Arcade (3/3) Road King in 20:52.36 GOAL: -Complete the game as quickly as possible -Try to beat the times on Twin Galaxies at: www.twingalaxies.com/game/cruisn-world/arcade www.twingalaxies.com/game/Cruisn-world-rev-l23/mame -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 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gtldgrtolszcoo0.html -2 - Humvee in 21:11.27 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a8WdgZeD3pOZlWQ.html -3 - Road King in 20:52.36 This video -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: ==Horn -While racing, press Start to honk the horn. The Humvee will fire its machine gun instead (but without causing damage to anyone). ==Wheelie -To do a Wheelie , double-tap the gas pedal. You will accelerate a little faster for a short time if you are not close to your maximum speed. I did some testing and it's useful when accelerating at the start of a stage. (I used it on the 3rd video) This gave me a few more mph (less than 10) for the same distance. -To jump over a slower moving car or one coming at you, pull a wheelie right before you hit it. If you do it right you should still be pulling a wheelie when you hit the car you are jumping over and will not crash. ==Ride on Two Wheels -Double-tap the gas (Wheelie) while turning a corner. ==Jumbo Flip (1 second bonus) -When you are going up a hill, do a wheelie at the top. The car will do a Back Flip. -And one second per backflip will be subtracted from your time at the end. ==Super Heli (1 second bonus) -When you are going up a hill, Turn the steering at the top. ==Mega Roll (2 seconds bonus) -When you are going up a hill, Turn the steering and do a wheelie at the same time at the top. The car will do a side flip. ===Comments: -For this video I chose the Road King because it is supposed to be as fast as the Humvee and I wanted to take a different vehicle. -I tried to do a 'Mega Roll' at every opportunity, on every jump, to get 2 seconds bonus as many times as possible. -Australia: With 8 'Mega Roll' I beat the best time on Twin Galaxies (finally!) -China: With this truck, I wasn't able to jump as many times as with the Humvee. I thought this vehicle handled like the Humvee but that is clearly not the case. -Africa: I improved the final time thanks to all the 'Mega Roll' I did but if you check the time before bonus, this truck is slower than the Humvee by more than a second on almost all the tracks. The truck has more problems than the Humvee recovering from a 'Mega Roll', losing more speed. -Egypt I finished less than a second slower than the time on Twin Galaxies (1:28.03 versus 1:27.60). I probably would have beaten it with the Humvee. At least this time I finished first (not thanks to my good driving (11:02)). -Moscow thanks to a 'Mega Roll' I beat the time on Twin Galaxies, but once again I was slower than the Humvee by more than 1 second. -Germany, Italy, France, England: Not enough jumps on these tracks to make a difference. Still being about 2 seconds slower than the times posted on Twin Galaxies, and being a bit slower than my times with the Humvee. -Mexico: The green surface has less friction than the gravel road. I tried to use the green surface more strategically than with the Humvee and achieved a significantly better time, about 3 seconds off before the bonus. But I wasn't able to jump as often as with the Humvee, I lost time because of that. ===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. -1:20 A shark is eating a diver -1:50 Turn the corner on two wheels (5 wheels?) (double-tap the accelerator when turning a corner) -14:13 Abuse the out-of-bounds collision to lose less speed after the 'Mega Roll' -14:36 Temporary loss of control when going downhill -22:45 151 mph for a few seconds proving that the green surface has less friction than the road ===Shortcuts: -Hawaii 0:51 -Australia 4:50 -China 6:26 and 6:54 -Mexico 22:53 and 23:19 -New York 25:19 and 25:26 -In the end, it is certain that the “Road King” was not the best choice. With this vehicle you lose control if the road goes downhill, you can't jump as easily as with the Humvee and it is often more difficult to recover from a "Mega Roll" as you lose more speed. It seems the Road King is about 2 mph slower than the Humvee on a long straight road. (143 vs. 145 mph) -What is the best car to take? I am not sure. -The fact that a few times posted on Twin Galaxies are 2 seconds faster means I'm probably missing something. On the N64 version it is possible to take turns without losing speed. Maybe that's what's missing, but I haven't found how to do that, if it's possible on the arcade version. -In conclusion, it is certainly possible to make a better TAS. -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.

Top....👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Wait a second...the cruis'n series can't be beaten with only one coin?

11/14 wins. Have you discovered any kind of algorithm/pattern/code/quirk that decides the likelihood of the top opponent making a mistake? That's what interests me here more than anything. I'm absolutely certain that it's impossible to get all wins in Cruis'n USA, but just *maybe* it's conceivably possible here? On a related note, I find it a bit funny how a vehicle's real-life speed and handling have absolutely zero bearing on how it performs in a Midway game. I say "a bit" because I suspect it's mostly lazy programming.
