So in order to standardise that, players were able to shave the pivot down slightly so that they would be equal with those that had an old pad with a slightly worn down pivot or a 3rd party pad that had a smaller pivot. A number of these have larger pivots in the dpad and some of them have a smaller pivot making NBT boosts offroad easier. The other issue was that a lot of original official snes pads which are not in production anymore are becoming more rare and players have purchased 3rd party pads online, some almost identical looking to official snes pads. NBT (New Boosting techniques) can then be used off road, which is similar to triggering mini turbos on the other Mario Kart games or in some respects PRB on Mario Kart DS. The last snes pad that i used worked really well for me on that. Over years of use some of them have gradually worn down a tiny bit, and you can still generate the boosts across sand and grass without having to shave them down. In regards to the dpad pivot in snes pads. Thanks for mentioning this in your last post and I look forward to hearing your response. I have no problem redoing the tracks and submitting new times.Īnd all I have to say is who ever came up with the controller modification idea, they really are a bad influence on other Super Mario Kart players. I’ve gotten to the point where I can play this game very well, modified controller or not. I’m sorry if I did anything wrong here, I guess I should have checked it out with you before I submitted my scores in the first place. I can go buy an unmodified controller and record and submit brand new times achieved with the unmodified controller. There is a used video game store down the street from my house and they sell SNES controllers. People need to know what is allowed and not allowed because if there had been such a statement on the Super Mario Kart page then I would not have used a modified controller. If modified controllers are not allowed than this needs to be posted on the website under the special rules for the game. There was no rule on the rule page for Super Mario Kart which mentioned anything about sanding down the circular bump on the back of the D-pad. I’ve been playing that way for the last 2 years or so and the only reason why I did it is because I read online that the pros were doing it. I was thinking that it would fall under the category of secret strategy. The Super Mario Kart scores that I sent you were achieved using a modified SNES controller.
