The time you start with in the Super Hang-On minigame is tied to the difficulty you're playing on — the difficulty of Lost Judgment, not the arcade port you're playing. It's stupid, I know.

You start with 45 seconds if you play on Normal or above. This makes it nearly impossible to get the requisite six million points for completion unless you never crash and use your boost at every feasible moment. Don't do this to yourself. Lower the difficulty to Easy or Simple and you'll start with 50 seconds, making this goal a lot more reasonable.

If you're a purist who doesn't want to lower the difficulty, I actually have advice for you. Get your head out of your ass. But also, don't pick the Beginner circuit (Africa). It's designed for you to play with more time. I got eight million points on the Senior circuit (America), so try that.

K thanks for listening gamers.
