New PB: 132,840. Score of 109,100, Time Bonus of 20,500, + 2.5% Hyper Modifier.

I'm using the Modern Wireless Controller. You can only use the Analog and not the d-pad for this game.

This Recharged version is a lot of fun! It can be frustrating at times, though lol. I tried to push my PB further but I couldn't do it today.
 
The consolation was completing the final mission. (This was the frustrating part 🤣 )

This is from last week. I was hoping to get a better round in but oh well.
This is a tough game even with your specs maxed out.

New PB: 27,550. I'm working my way back after a rough week & a half.
 
I have to say this is A REALLY FAR CRY from playing Beetle's Adventure Racing for the N64 which is this week's Splash Wave Racing Challenge on Twitter lol.

I am finally up and running! My ID is Marco1019, though I cannot tell you the other numbers that were added as a suffix. (You'll be able to tell by my profile description which touts my retrogaming along with my Twitch show.)

Glad to see you on the Challenge, @Marco1019!  
Upgrading is a part of the core game. Upgrade away! 
You may also choose to use any or none of the score modifiers.

Hello! After finding time to loacte the hotfix and to install Etcher in order to flash my  Club VCS Recharged Squad Challenge! However, I say this with a caveat as I'm hoping I followed the challenge rules correctly.
 
Was I supposed to upgrade this game prior to playing? I just purchased the game and jumped right in. So if I did this correctly, then here's my entry of 16,425.
 
P.S. My VCS profile is Marco1019. I will do the follow-for-follow. I'm happy to join this community!
