Mario Kart DS - 32 Tracks Speedrun World Record in

[@dviesel2604]

This was nearly a perfect run. A better Frappe Snowland and Wario Stadium and you migth have got the sub-52

[@mkdsabel]

Not to mention GBA Sky Garden, that's the big one.

[@dviesel2604]

@@mkdsabel Yeah, but all last 3 cups were golden. That's is such impressive

[@dankruse8119]

"At what cost?" mkdsable: My left thumb.

[@costelinha1867]

That's not even true just for speedrunners, but for everyone wanting to play MKDS at any level other than just hyper-casual beginner level.

[@terminusfinity009]

​@@costelinha1867you mean professional?

[@KinderParrot169]

That was an insane run, it's crazy how you saved a lot of time, especially from saving 42 seconds on the lightning cup. Getting sub 52 minutes is going to be stupidly difficult and stupidly rare and will take a stupidly long time. What an absolutely shocking run! 👏

[@MikeyLORR]

This wasn't just a result of the some of the greatest RNG ever received in a video game, it was a result of such amazing skill and composure throughout the run. Not dealing with shocks and reds is a real blessing, but it doesn't make PRB or avoiding CPUs any easier. You took advantage of the rare RNG very well, even with the 1/3 PRB on Sky Garden. I don't think we'll see this time get beaten for a long time, if at all. It would take equally insane RNG and risky PRB strats to replicate anything like this. Congratulations Abel, legendary run!

[@hayden980]

I had no idea you could dodge blueshells, I’ve not watched a speedrun of this before, just time trials

[@mkdsabel]

Yes! All you have to do is charge a mini turbo, wait until it hovers over you, time it so you release it right before impact and immediately press R to hop away. You can also dodge it with a mushroom or by going over a boost pad.

[@dksc4life]

You were right - only one shock. What an insane run.

[@mkdsabel]

Thank you Blake!

[@biggiemac42]

Dammmn, with the closing triple gold split. Youre a monster! The choco island lap 3 had me doubled over laughing. Well played!

[@mkdsabel]

Surviving that lap 3 was MENTAL.

[@CakeDuck112]

I'm at a loss for words, this is insane!! Well played!

[@mkdsabel]

Thanks!

[@Quantum_17]

Happy to catch atleast part of this live, phenomenal run!! Congrats on this and your new times abel :)

[@HayleeRetty]

First run i’d caught live, and was definitely not disappointed!

[@mkdsabel]

Thank you for tuning in!

[@OnlinePickle]

Just got into Mario Kart DS snaking and man do i gotta say, your thumb is efficient and durable asf.

[@Anths_art]

Every time i see a mario kart speedrun video on my homepage, my first thought is always "but blue shells....."

[@je19493]

Jesus christ I guess this is what great play + godlike rng gets you, congrats on this one! I guess the CPUs were allergic to using lightning in this run??

[@dviesel2604]

How many lightnings appeared? I counted only 1. Also you dodged all the blue shells. Incredible driving

[@PolishKuba459]

And you're right. There was just 1 shock

[@MKDS1992]

Holy shit Abel, look what you did to this category xD Unbelievable run! GL on the 51 some day!

[@AUTOCARR0T]

[@costelinha1867]

I love doing 32 track runs, although i never knew this was an actual speedrun category, although I'm nowhere near as good as you are, I can barely maintain a snake for a prolonged time, and don't even bother asking me to do a PRB lol. Not that it would matter, as I cannot record a 32 track speedrun even if I wanted to, I can record time trials thanks to MKDasher's method, but I cannot record a speedrun from my DSI since I have no capture card.

[@kaznmk64]

Wow!congrats!!

[@SamyIrnateneGaming]

i'm worried about the hard work you did i think you're tired anyway great video abel

[@supermortar2862]

crazy run gg

[@mariussorgenfrei4207]

incredible work

[@LRXC1]

This is SO sick!!!

[@Lum2022]

Congratulations on the world record! I can never get enough of these speedruns. There’s just something so addicting to the gameplay of this particular Mario Kart game. As someone who wants to get into the game myself, do anyone know the exact timing to avoid a blue shell with a mini turbo? Much appreciated if anyone could inform me :] Edit: Corrected a typo.

[@mkdsabel]

Thanks so much for your kind comment! The timing isn't frame precise or anything, but I can link you to a video tutorial which can help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKnOeYhshbqan5Ysi=HrOu2ulVfU8kZ75-

[@Russom5428Russo]

You’re a beast at this game! Can you please do a mirror all-cup tour speed run in this game next?

[@mkdsabel]

Thanks! I'll consider it.

[@davyjones3105]

I have a burning question: With all the TASes of this game going around, how come there aren’t any that are just “all cups 150cc” or something like that?

[@TennisGvy]

LFG that's a big ol cut isn't it

[@Cailyn310]

Insane run and massive GGs, wish I woulda seen all this a lot sooner, but one question, how much was your thumb hurting at the end of this??

[@mkdsabel]

Thanks! I have been playing since 2006, so I am very much used to it and don't get pain.

[@Valdemar-Perez-III]

47:01 the panic you had 😂

[@DougisArmed]

SummoningSalt brought me here!!

[@vlexz97]

Out of curiosity, why don't you hold bananas/shells so you always have an extra second item ready in case you get two attacks in a short amount of time?

[@mkdsabel]

@@vlexz97 To be fair, sometimes it could be because I am reading chat or something. My aim is to always get two protective items.

[@QDawg-l6h]

It''s Snakin time

[@Russom5428Russo]

I like that your rivals in this world record versus race were the Bad Boys, Wario and Waluigi! Which character do you like better? Wario or Waluigi? I like Waluigi better than Wario.

[@mkdsabel]

I like Wario better but both are great!

[@actualcashcosgrove]

I know you will probably not see this but how did you dodge the blue shell with nothing? It looks like you hopped on the last frame possible before you would get hit but I don’t know how that would kill the blue shell

[@mkdsabel]

All you have to do is charge a mini turbo, wait until the Blue Shell hovers over you, time it so you release it right before impact and immediately press R to hop away. You can also dodge it with a mushroom or by going over a boost pad. It doesn't require frame perfect precision at all.

[@actualcashcosgrove]

@ Thank you

[@Neop0litan]

youre crazy dude howd you manage to save over a minute??

[@mkdsabel]

Actually, I was comparing with a 52m57s run, which I was about to upload beforehand. But yeah it's a huge cut - got very, very lucky with the RNG.

Why do you play the Japanese version and not the English?? Is it quicker or something??

It's faster inbetween track loads by one frame.

Is there a reason for the JP version ?

It saves a frame inbetween track loads. There is no other difference in terms of gameplay.
