Talk:Time trial event

Top Speed

Now with the latest rerun of the Top Speed event, could the event benefit having its own page? There are major differences between the very first version of the event and the second version which has received reruns (like the battles, rewards, and missions), but overall the format is the same between the two. It might be better to distinguish between all the runs as a whole in one collection/page. Using the 2023 dabtag to group the second version of the event may also be confusing to some.

Yeah, I think this is a good idea. I've been meaning to split Race to Victory and Eternal Rivals into separate pages for a while (all events that award medals should have their own page, imo) but I thought it'd be odd to leave this page with just Top Speed on it; having Top Speed be its own page would handily solve that problem. I'm wondering how to structure the page, though. It's similar to what happened with Blissful Bonanza!, but I don't feel like the version with the kahunas is common enough to merit being listed as the "general structure". So there are two ways I could see us doing it. 1: we copy the two sections pretty much how they are in the current page, but title them "First run" and "Subsequent runs". 2: we structure it like a standard event page, where the commonalities between the two formats are listed in the intro, the differences between each run are listed in their own sections, and the "Battles" and "Event missions" sections have sub-headings for each time the event ran.

I'm in favor of following the standard event format, mostly out of consistency, but also having the section in the intro describe the commonalities between the runs would be good to assure the reader that this is the same event (in terms of how it plays out).
