[MKWii TAS] Bowser's Castle Ending Shortcut with One Shroom (Mach Bike)

Watch in 1440p HD, 60fps!
This is a tool-assisted speedrun (TAS). This time will not count on any real rankings. Done on Dolphin 5.0 with slowdown, savestates, frame advance, TAS code, and RAM watch (info display).
Well this basically confirms a 4.7 second cut for Bowser's Castle Glitch.
I don't think anybody expected this to be feasible. A few days back, Ancient found out that it was possible to clear the high wall with only one shroom using the Bullet Bike. After some testing I was able to successfully pull off the shortcut with the Mach Bike! The sideways momentum is pretty clean and I'm glad how it turned out. Getting a high-ish trick off the last geyser with side trick abuse is faster than getting a low trick and taking the last line super tight.
The sheer timesave from this is insane. The lap 1 here is a 38.686 using only one shroom. It's 100% possible to cut at least 0.3 more from the lap 1 driving, giving potential 3lap splits of:
38.35
38.15
38.15
= 1:54.650 (Current BKT by Zak is a 1:59.483, therefore a potential 4.833+ BKT cut).
Check out Ancient's channel here, huge props to him for theorising that the one shroom shortcut with Bullet Bike could be pulled off: / @ancientmkw

[@hudsonc466]

Welp the tas time bouta go down by 6 seconds lol

[@EjayB]

Yup

[@overconfidentgd]

I have a question so I have a little project I want to get a supergrind for maybe even less than a second I can mash fast but don’t know what you would have to be mashing the button at per second if you know what is what is it? And can it be done for less than a second possible in rta? I know it’s considered tas only but I think it can be done rta for less than a second.

[@EjayB]

For normal rapid fire hop, you have to press the hop button 30 times per second, strictly on every second frame, which is why it's impossible for humans to do. Even if some people can mash faster than 30cps, there is no chance you will be able to nail every single press on every 2nd frame without messing up. Supergrinds are even harder to perform. It involves doing all of the above, but also tilting the joystick left or right (depending on the direction of the turn) on every frame that you hop, then releasing it on the next frame, etc. A supergrind's inputs might go like this Frame 1: A Frame 2: A and B and hard left Frame 3: A Frame 4: A and B and hard left Frame 5: A Frame 6: A and B and soft left Frame 7: A Frame 8: A and B and soft left Frame 9: A Frame 10: A and B and hard left and on and on.

[@overconfidentgd]

Oh ok that makes sense now I do actual tases and already did 2 neither have supergrinding though

Hey Ejay, I’m a fan and I was wondering how you do the thumbnails with the time in them?

I just take a screenshot when the final time shows at the end, then use a photo editing tool to cut out all the incorrect pixels around it, then resize it (make it bigger), and change the colour of it.
