Thanks to ‪@B_squo‬ for help with fixing a mistake we made in the ghost file
The track that just keeps on giving. I think the funniest part of this is that the crazy glider strats at the end of lap 1 and lap 2 don't even save .1. It saves a more significant amount at the end of lap 3, but because of having to land back on the wall, it's an absolutely ridiculous strategy that barely saves any time and I just love things like that. Also, 4 coin doublehop was something that I had almost just completely written off, it's by far the most difficult strategy I have ever pulled off.
This is also the first time that a no glitch category has reached a sub 1 minute time, which is a milestone that I don't think most of the people who have played this game could have ever imagined being possible.

[@mkw_h9466]

This is definitely one of the craziest Mario Kart TAS’s out there. It’s crazy to see sub minute on this track

[@MKWilliam]

Thank you :)

Okay, that glider strat is completely crazy. I've never seen anything like that before.

[@RETURNMOV171]

Tbh if that happened irl i'd freak out

I think its called motion glider, idk if that existed back in mk7

[@MKWilliam]

@@SSFVnG2010 yep. It's cool that more people are seeing mk7, but at the same time I also wasn't asked for permission to use the TAS by a single person who has uploaded that video lol. So I don't entirely know how I feel about it lol

[@WaluigiGoesWa]

Ah yes SNES Mario Circuit 2, just how I remember it.

[@MKWilliam]

Of course, this is obviously how it's always been

[@Rissole]

The parachute physics in this game are crazy! Well done on an amazing TAS guys!

[@MKWilliam]

Thank you!

[@malignantpootis213]

Compared to MK8, you have so much freedom with gliders in MK7 which makes it all the more satisfying to pull off a super long glide

[@coraffe]

@@malignantpootis213 yeah, the gliding in Mario kart 7 feels like your are gliding, while Mario kart 8’s just feels like you are driving on an invisible road

[@malignantpootis213]

@@coraffe I also got a hot take, most of the tracks specific to MK8 act way too similar to each-other compared to 7. Also, how do you mess up gliders and underwater racing?

[@WhiteboardMario198]

The glider in shroom ridge (MK8DX) works exactly like the mk7 glider physics

[@thaddeus-cr-mk7528]

just watched the documentary, this is a fking crazy TAS. After 10 years of MK7 while being inactive now people still manage to blow my mind even tho i used to be a WR-Holder and saw everything in this game

[@MKWilliam]

Thank you :). Honestly, even the stuff I've worked on still manages to blow my mind sometimes lol, the amount of things that ended up being possible in this game is really crazy

[@azi7371]

This is exactly why I love watching mk7 tas runs, because there's so many new cool strats found and good tas runs being made. Great tas!

[@MKWilliam]

Thank you!

[@IzumiMK6]

1:06 that’s actually insane. I never knew that MK7’s glider physics were that, just… I dont even know what to say lmao Great run!

[@MKWilliam]

Thank you so much! There are some ideas that have been floating around to break this game more, but none of them have been successfully pulled off yet, or there's some part we don't understand

And I don't really play mk7 anymore because half of my 3ds screen is black and you can't even see so I fall of the map or bump into things that makes me lose so I'm playing mk8 now

[@I_love_eating_plutonium]

You're able to hold full down on the circle pad while turning full left using the motion controls

[@jnpman8375]

I can't believe there are now two tracks possible in under a minute

[@MKWilliam]

It's pretty insane

[@chunzprocessor]

When I was a child, I used to imagine something like this impossible shortcuts in my head. But, THE FUTURE IS NOW!! lol

[@MKWilliam]

I think everyone imagines a track being broken like this, but for it to actually exist is insane

[@lowercaseletters_]

Sub minute is crazy. Awesome TAS y’all! Also, when did MK7 TASing become so good? There were only savestates like 2 years ago

[@MKWilliam]

Thank you! We got TAS code about 6 months ago which makes things way easier. The TAS still isn't perfect, a sub 59.5 is probably possible, but yeah it's way more optimized than what was done prior to TAS code

[@lowercaseletters_]

@@MKWilliam ah that’s cool! TAS code is very nice.

[@nicovgd]

I didn't know that you can do that type of shortcuts on MK7, absolutely fricking insane

[@MKWilliam]

[@dylan-wl7wk]

ive owned this game since 2012 and i can not believe that there are two tracks now that are under 1 minute. congrats on the tas!

[@MKWilliam]

Thank you!

[@LL_MarioKart]

I never knew mk7 could be that insane

[@MKWilliam]

yeah the game has a surprising amount of potential to make it crazy

[@CaptainRillaboom]

It’s refreshing seeing ultra shortcuts in MK7. Don’t get me wrong, Wii is goated and to see ultra shortcuts, I’ll mostly see videos on this game. But it’s really nice to see people finding a way to do impressive exploit in other Mario Kart games too😄

[@MKWilliam]

@@CaptainRillaboom the funny part is that the community decided that this is no glitch lol. But yeah, this game has some really cool shortcuts that have been discovered over the years that have been pretty underappreciated

Idk but i think there is still a little to improve but thats probably way to hard. I just came from the documentary and you guys are crazy

[@MKWilliam]

Yeah, lap 2 uses a slightly different strategy than lap 3 which I think is slightly slower. But other than that it would be a lot of effort to make improvements

Will happen also 58 if when he stop the glider before the start of the other glither whit the glitch at the end, it will be a faster pause it can be done

[@genitivi64xd77]

0:28 l've never seen anything like this before. It's just drifting and gliding at the same time. It also looks like he's using motion glider. XD

[@MKWilliam]

It's using motion controls to hold left while still holding down (isntead of down left with the circle pad), It's a really cool technique to turn more while holding down that's been being used on more and more tracks recently

One of the many problems I have with 8dx is that they try as hard as they could to prevent crazy stuff like this happening, and thus, the respawning is garbage, the gliders were hard nerfed and aren't fun, but oh wow, an extra turbo thing! Also, great TAS. I have a hard time thinking of comments and I was gonna comment 2 days ago, but didn't think of ideas. It's so crazy how broken this track is without quite being a bug. This game had tracks the lasted longer for some reason so its impressive that there is 2 confirmed sub 1:00s.
