Trial

Trial is a map style in the game TrackMania Nations Forever. It is one of the most played styles in today's day and age. The trial style is all about finishing a very difficult piece of map built by a very skilled player and builder.

One of the most prominent builders and players of the trial style is simo_9, aka simo_90, aka simo_900, aka simo_9000 etc, etc. He's built amazing trial maps such as "Analytical Geometry", "Forceful Habits", "E07-Stunt", and of course the hardest trial map to ever be built as of today, "Final Enigma".

In May of 2023, the trial community had a devastating discovery. One of their most successful players, Fred (of team T3), was caught cheating on all 943 trial maps to ever be built. Before that, he was considered one of the greatest, if not the greatest trial players to have ever touched the game since its release in 2006.
