Training the AI on yet another track
Added 2025-11-19 11:05:18 +0000 UTCI just trained the AI on A06, the 6th track in the campain. But this time, the results were a bit more disappointing!
One key trick on A06 is to use the ramps from the side to reduce airtime and save a few hundredths. It’s even possible to do a full 360° flip on the second ramp: that’s what Link does in the current World Record.
However, the AI wasn’t very creative here. It barely exploited the sides of the ramps at all, except on the third one. My guess is that early in training, it decided going to the side was too risky, and then got stuck in that local optimum for the rest of the training.
Still, it managed to reach a pace around the world’s top 30. Which is already a very strong level!
