Ever notice in levels where there are race sections right beside eachother? Well, once the one race gate has been opened, you can just run backwards to the ending of the first race, and itll count! Thus enabling a flawed part of a level and a highscore possiblity. The solution: Coulor coded race gates! They would work exactly like magnetic keys. Not a big problem, but it would be cool to see in LBP

i don't understand how colored race gates would help.

Or, just don't screw up your level design to allow this?

i don't understand how colored race gates would help. So you can pair up two of the same colored gates so that no once can cheat.

Yeah, this is possible to avoid, Like i said, its not an error at all, just something that i would like to see happen.

i haven't seen anyone make this mistake except rubbish bike races

One of my friends level had that in it, he unpublished it, but it was a pain because many people cheated XD

just have a ramp, so you can only go to the right but you cant jump high enough to get to the left. MM was very clever about it, in the mercat (SPELLING I KNOW) level, at the race with all of the bubbles, ones you go off the small drop to get to the end, you cant get the bubbles you missed

I've never played a level that had two races that close and never knew this happened. Sure better level design could avoid this but I still think this is a good idea and could be useful.

Yes, I have noticed this little thing too, coloured race gates would be a great idea, even though it would not be used so much. Of course, you could always just make that end-race gate impossible to reach.

Hmmm, colored race gates... time to do sketches!!!!

I played some stupid mario race level that made this mistake, and apparently I was the only one to notice. My highscore was like 100,000 higher than anyone else, and the creator messaged me asking how I did it.

I've seen it a few times, inc a few levels from guys on here. I always go for the previous gate when I see it there.

I always go for the previous gate when I see it there. -Matt 82 Exactly my point! Some people are just thickheaded enough to make this mistake, it is very avoidable, im just shocked that they didint think of this!

Maybe a patch could be made to fix this. Like, maybe, deactivating race finishes after you have passed them, like the race gates.

im just shocked that they didint think of this! I know how dare they Not worth the effort anyway, it's not hard for the creator to avoid this.

I don't understand why people are so against this idea, why fight it, if they do implement it, what's the harm? Just a new feature that could further creating. I understand that it's a flaw of the design, but I'm sure in some cases, it can be unavoidable. I say bring it on! Great idea man.

Maybe a patch could be made to fix this. Like, maybe, deactivating race finishes after you have passed them, like the race gates. A "fix" for this, would be potentially level breaking. I'm sure there is at least one level out there that re-uses a finish gate deliberately. @FULLGORR, I'm not against the concept in the OP, I just figure it's pretty worthless and the "problem" is 100% avoidable. There are far more useful things that MM could be spending dev time on. I'm 100% with what dexiro says above.

Yes, there is a huge possibility for breaking levels, which is why it shouldn't be made to completely replace race gates, just introduced as an alternative type of gate, or just possible making it a tweakable option that on all levels is set to default. This isn't really a top priority though.

They could implement this idea when they finally decide to make race gate switches.
