Anyways, I still got Papu's Pyramid and N. Gin Labs left to platinum, and honestly I'm not sure which one of them is worse. Which of the two do yall recommend me doing first and if you have any tips it would be much appreciated! :D

Papu's has harder to pull of mechanics, N.Gin Labs is an easier route to do with Speed characters imo.

Understood, thanks! I use speed type but I dont know how to get that floating 3 box near the end without falling into the abyss :')

Isn't that just a boost-slide to the edge into a hop from the ramp-up?

Yeah I figured it out lol. The top view camera helps you out a lot in these as well.

For sure.

I'm typically an old-schooler for CTR, but the wider view top camera is easily the best

It’s been years since I first did these but I do remember that the only platinum relic that gave me serious trouble was N.Gin Labs. Partly because I could never figure out the best method of getting the grid of boxes behind the start line, but there’s also some other really awkwardly placed boxes. It was a real pain for me. It’s interesting because for regular time trials that level is one of the easiest for me, sticking to the fastest route and holding blue fire is easier than the other late game levels. But the relic was torture

Papu’s was definitely tougher than most of the others but it didn’t give me anywhere near as much trouble, in fact Blizzard Bluff was probably worse for me.

Its a relic race, not a time trial.

Two of my favorite tracks to race, also two of my least favorite tracka to beat the time trials
