Propably not longer than ninja hideaway, but big blue shortcut also has a lot of air Time and propably the highest non glider air Time.

[@squishypeanut42]

I think the shortcut at the end of mute city is longer than the big blue one but the big blue one doesn't count because it's a glitch

[@WindWerehog]

@@squishypeanut42 "Physics Engine"

[@Dartnix]

@@squishypeanut42 I don't think it's a glitch, it's related to the slow fall effect near anti-gravity. I'd say a glitch involves breaking collisions or exploiting them for instant speed gains.

[@squishypeanut42]

@@Dartnix it's because the physics of both big blue and mute city are the same as being under water. But it's still an unintended shortcut which makes it a glitch

[@clayfreed16]

@@squishypeanut42 I doubt it’s a glitch. Anywhere nintendo doesn’t want you to go in that game, you’re not going to go. Also it was included in mk8 and mk8dx. They would have removed it in mk8dx if it was unintended

Nice job on the video! In the past, you've had a few issues with audio mix, but this one was mixed well. Just as a point of constructive criticism, however, the entire audio level of the video was a bit low. I had to turn my phone most of the way up to get a good volume. Keep up the good work!

[@dichlorodiphenyltrichloroe4675]

I had the same audio issue, but good video nonetheless!

Well thought out though I think i disagree with the bill being acceptable. The bill didn't look like it kept hight so much as transforming the player then dropping to function like the antigravity sections so I see no difference here between the bill and what was already ruled out. Only other issue is the audio is rather quiet.

[@MrJed87]

I have to agree, I was mildly disappointed with that. I would have preferred to see what items like mushroom, star, etc could do to change it if at all.

[@logansray]

I'd also have to agree since the bullet bill seems like more of a kart without the wheels

[@theme_greatest383]

Just turn the volume up

[@JemarcusTheLamb87]

There should be a gimmick in mk9 where you can open anti gravity or gliding when you are by a body of water. You either drive through it normally, glide over, or drive on the water.

[@nic04]

I would also count Sweet Sweet Canyon's flying section to the "glider-tunnels". I really enjoyed the video. Your ideas for the videos are so creative and interesting.

[@connor9568]

[@madlad1741]

Yeah now at 36k and is growing and growing faster

[@theFPLkiwi]

The presentation is very impressive for someone starting out and no doubt there is potential, but it is not thorough. Missed many cannon gliders that could be quickly googled, didn't discuss the effects of using different speeds, lots of content creators take a lot longer of playing time to produce similar videos. This style is valid too but I have to give the credit for "thorough" to other creators right now, probably who have more time to kill. Maybe one day this creator will get there too

[@Super_EpicGuy]

Depending on the bounds of the stage, you may be able to get longer airtime by gliding off the track, since out of bounds is lower than the track itself. As well as that, getting smashed with a Blue Shell also causes you to stay in the air for longer, though I don't know how that would compare to Bullet Bill because for some reason you didn't show the full uncut clip

[@ThePetalesharo]

Also doing a long glide into a bullet bill if BB is still in the rules

[@Frommerman]

Glide into bill into perfectly timed blue shell then.

[@CyanicCore]

Slower (seriously?) or not, Gliding's always been fun enough I'd prioritize staying in the air in most races. DLC resulting in the greatest anything wasn't very surprising, but good analysis nonetheless! Though I'm not sure how well this could be done on a Tour stage, mushrooms typically allow for a height gain as well. With that and techniques to slow the vehicle, perhaps there's still room for numbers?

[@nubplaisgaims8250]

Iirc gliding is only really slower in 200cc, in the others it doesn't make that much of a difference.

[@Jademalo]

I'd check some other kart stats over just weight - I have a feeling the slower the air speed, the longer you'll be able to stay in the air in ninja hideaway. You're always going to get roughly the same distance due to the updrafts, so if you're travelling slower it would probably help. Also, I *think* tricking off the updraft gives you slightly more height

[@mqb3gofjzkko7nzx38]

Air speed is a very weird stat I just found out. It turns out the heaviest kart in the game, the steel driver/bone rattler, has the worst airspeed while the lightest kart, mr scooty/biddybuggy has the second worst airspeed. The inkstriker/sports coupe has the best airspeed. Slick tires have the worst airspeed while sponge/cushion have the best. Heavier characters always have more airspeed.

[@CGKey]

Your videos are great! but this one has some issues with the audio. It's waaaay to quiet! Otherwise, great as always

[@Bc232klm]

Excited to see what you do next! I love these kinds of niche videos.

[@lifemicrorez]

Very well written, structured and edited. While I didn't agree with using the Bullet Bill as a valid way of extending air time, I was utterly impressed by what seems to be an affinity for content creation in general. Looking forward to what other video ideas you have in store for us.

[@ye5472]

binged your videos while being on break from studying and the quality of content? *chefs kiss* looking forward for more from you!

[@theparkourhobo]

I'm really enjoying watching this channel grow. I love videos doing in-depth investigations into silly things, lol. All of the ones you've put out so far have been really high-quality, too (other than minor audio issues, but that'll probably get better with time).

[@b1uecottoncandy]

I’m haven’t been subscribed until this video but I keep getting recommended them, and keep clicking them cause they’re good videos, keep up the awesome work

[@HarryMario_]

2 things to try 1. Use 50cc mode as that makes you go slower therefore giving you more airtime 2. I find when your somewhat near the ground, to dive and close to the ground as possible to the quickly jolt back up just before I hit the ground to get me more airtime but I've never actually timed this so not 100% sure

[@xXElwindXx]

On the first day the dlc came out, i tried ninja hideaway with my lil bro. At some point i was second and got hit by a red shell just before hitting the glider ramp near the finish. I stayed in the air for so long and glided so slow that i thought it was a glitch... I think i got 11 when i was finally out of the glider section. Maybe that would help get the airtime up🤔. One note for the vid. I think there is a glidertunnel in cookiecakeland track as well.

[@davidzea-smith1417]

I’m pretty sure that, if used at the right time, Mushrooms can keep you in air longer than a Bullet Bill.

[@RGC_animation]

It'd be cool if they introduced a very glider heavy stage in Mario Kart 9 where basically the whole stage is using the glider with some resting spot in between.

[@Dante...]

The Mute City jump gives you a surprising amount of air time if you pull back the control stick the whole way down. It might be the most air time you can get without a glider.

[@shinyumbreon4109]

Here before 100k, you're definitely going to make it!

[@notguydoodperson]

If you're slower (like being strck by lightning) wouldn't that increase air time?

But you would lose the bullet bill when you got struck.

Let's not forget about Cloudtop Cruise's cannon section! Same idea as in Big Blue and Rainbow Road! Love seeing your work show up on my recommended!

[@guavacadoII]

Few things to say on this video. First, Those "tunnel gliders" are called cannon gliders, and they're in Sweet Sweet Canyon, Sunshine Airport, Cloudtop Cruise, and Yoshi Valley. Second, I can think of a few more places to maximize time in the air gliderless, one being the ramp at the waterfall section of mount Wario. I also used 50cc, the lightest combo and had 0 coins, but only got 2.3s. Maybe that setup could work for other ramps but I'm too lazy. So then I thought about mute City and big blue's shortcuts. For both I did 200cc because I realised the speed class doesn't affect the gravity, and in 200 I can get further down the track. For mute City I got 5.1s, for big Blue I got 5 seconds. Those times could be optimised but I'm pretty sure that's the most air you can get without a glider. Third, I think bullets shouldn't count, and items as a whole shouldn't count because trying to get hit by one to maximize air time is too finicky and inconsistent. Good video though

[@Geppty]
