The Story of Mario Kart's Strangest Shortcut

/ mkwilliam
Mario Kart is well known for it's shortcuts. But in Mario Kart 7, one shortcut is so strange, and so rare, that the majority of players never even knew it existed. This is the story of Mario Kart's strangest shortcut.

Wild intro, “the fear of the unknown” completely took me by surprise on a mario kart 7 video lmao

[@MKWilliam]

Yeah I went a bit experimental with it XD

[@JustinGamesJG]

This is such an awesome discovery I really wish more people knew about it

[@MKWilliam]

Yeah, random respawns are the kind of thing that I think most people would find cool if they knew about it

[@08mariobro27]

I remember having a random respawn on Rainbow Road when I was younger. I was so perplexed by me just randomly being counted as out of bounds, I wanted to recreate it for a long time, but to no success.

[@MKWilliam]

It's one of those weird things where if it happened to you and you didn't know it exists, you'd almost wonder if you were misremembering it lol

[@wio1]

​@@MKWilliam This is so true. Every time something extremely unusual has happened to me in a video game, I've always completely failed to document it in any way even if I had the resources to lmao. For example, and this is the most recent something like this has happened to me, I remember playing Bowser's Castle on Mario Kart Wii, and suddenly, Funky Kong stopped playing voice clips when he'd trick or hit walls. Guess what I did? Instead of saving the ghost, I just shrugged it off and thought it was strange. This was in 2021, and only played MKW for a few months and just assumed it wasn't that unusual. Then I see months later, one of the best MKW players Logan, made a post on twitter showing the same glitch and asked if it has happened to anyone else before. Given that Logan has been playing MKW for years and has thousands of hours on the game, it's safe to say it's pretty rare lmao

[@truebino]

That’s so interesting. I’ve had MK7 for almost 10 years now and I had never heard about this glitch prior to this vid.

Cool video! I haven’t seen any content like this for Mario Kart 7. :D By the way, are there any TASes that use the “random” respawn? How precise exactly does your position need to be for it to work?

[@MKWilliam]

Thanks! I made one for Mario Circuit 2 a couple of months ago, but yeah there really aren't that many for this game. There aren't any TASes that currently use a random respawn, but if we ever get brute force tools it's possible that we might be able to force them to happen. I couldn't say for certain how precise it is, but given that the game tracks lap completion to 16 decimal places, it's possible that the gap genuinely is about .0000000000000001 big

Essentially I drive the track normally (while trying to stay as straight as possible and without drifting), and then I play back the run using a modified version of B-squo's live replay code that also makes my kart invisible.

All the examples of the respawn happening were in First Person mode, is that just from ghost playback? Is there any correlation with that if not? Either way, kinda interested in seeing what a TAS would look like if it could replicate the respawn.

[@MKWilliam]

Yeah, it's just because of Mario Kart 7's replay system. All of them were most likely driven in 3rd person, there are very few players who actually use 1st person. I think with more tools we could definitely start to use random respawns in TASes, there are a lot of really cool theoretical spots that they could be used, so I really hope that one day they will be usable

[@The_Great_Butler]

@@MKWilliam Thanks for the clarification! Keep it up with all the cool time trial knowledge. Love having so many people interested in this stuff.

[@tkienjoyer]

Reminds me of the position precise frame perfect trick on mk8 raindbow road that you can do after the first glider on the two green and red tracks. It's happened to me a lot of times in my ~100 or so hours of playing the track but it's not exactly common

[@MKWilliam]

I've never had a random respawn in Mario Kart 7, so it's probably not exactly comparable, but that does sound pretty rare. I'm not actually that familiar with mk8, that sounds cool i might look into that

[@tkienjoyer]

@@MKWilliam it's not comparable at all I've had it happen 4 times in a 5 hour session and there have been spans where I didn't see it for weeks, random respawns are a once in a lifetime thing it seems like from this video so yea. Just a weird anecdote from my mk8 rainbow road grind

[@heckYEAHman.]

Yo I had a really weird respawn glitch on the second Maple Treeway glider section at the end of an online race one time! Might be quite a bit different from this one too. I was in dead last so I did some weird maneuver to hook hard to the left and fall out of bounds as second-to-last inevitably crossed the finish line. The race finished right around when I triggered the out of bounds effect (IDK if that’s relevant). For whatever reason though, Lakitu put me on the complete other side of the track, at the end of the FIRST glider section. Too many potentials factors at play here to say for certain, but I was never able to recreate the glitch again so maybe it’s something that’s super unlikely like this is

[@MKWilliam]

Do you remember where exactly you jumped off? If it was immediately after the bridge, then I have a pretty good guess as to what happened, although I have literally no idea how it happened. I had a similar respawn happen to me on daisy cruiser where I respawned in a place that should have been impossible based on what key checkpoint I was in. What ended up happening in that case was that the normal checkpoint thought i was halfway around the track, while the key checkpoint still thought i was at the start. Before that happened to me a couple of years ago that was thought to be completely impossible, so it'd be really cool if it's actually the same thing that happened to you, because it would mean it wasn't just a one-off thing

[@heckYEAHman.]

@@MKWilliam I was way too vague in certain spots with my earlier explanation. I also stopped actively playing MK7 around 2017-2018, and only came back as the servers were nearing shutdown, so I am definitely an unreliable narrator who’s washed up on the terminology. Here’s a hopefully better explanation that you can maybe partially quote me on. Maybe. The parts I know for absolutely certain: Last lap on Maple Treeway, last place in an online lobby. I’m using my Mii with the meta combo (you know the one LOL) with Flower Glider. I hit the second glider pad and do some weird maneuver to hook to the left. As I’m in the air heading to the left, the race auto-finishes and I lose control of my kart. My kart continues forward + to the left then eventually triggers the out of bounds effect. Lakitu drops me back to where the “cannon” shoots you. Some other details I don’t have exact memory of but am mostly sure about: My kart managed to glide further left (i.e. towards the empty center of the track) than I have ever been able to recreate, seemingly past the invisible walls that glider section has. The out-of-bounds effect triggered a little later than it should have (just enough to make me go “huh?” when it happened) And here’s some less certain details as well. I think I probably hit the glider pad on the right side at an angle while releasing a normal Mini Turbo. Knowing me, I almost certainly did one of those glider strats to gain altitude that you might use for, say, the Dino Dino Jungle glider shortcut. But whether I did a pure “hold down-left on the joystick” strat or performed a dive before or did something else entirely, I can’t recall at all. My gut says I was just doing down-left. Also, I don’t believe the glider auto-retracted at all until I triggered the OOB, but also I have conflicting memories which would suggest that I manually retracted it… the manual retracting might have been from when I was experimenting, trying to recreate the glitch in the days right after it happened. I also don’t think the kart changed course at all after I lost control of it - just a straight line in the direction it had been heading. I may have had a boost item, but I think me falling off the course is how I ended up in this situation to begin with. So yeah, too many potential factors indeed. Depending on which parts of my recollection actually happened, the respawn glitch could’ve had something to do with the game taking control of my kart as I finish last. Or maybe I clipped over/through the invisible wall in some bizarre precise way, or it’s some random rare online-only jank, or it’s one of the rare checkpoint cases you’ve described. At any rate, I revisited that section of the course just now and continue to have no luck recreating what happened, or getting anything close

[@cute_kiss_cute]

I borrowed my friend's 3ds and was playing mk7 for the first time in a while and I got a respawn in the middle of the road in rmc2 in a world wide race that didn't make sense lol.

[@justarandomfrozenpotato]

Something you might want to look into more: every single random respawn (at least that you showed) was in first person. Maybe there were others that you didn't show, but it's interesting to me that everyone who got that glitch was using first-person mode. And more notably, in you're in first person, you're probably using motion controls, so I think maybe the motion controls allow for more precise frames to be hit, perhaps from it restricting your movement? This is just speculation, but it's something I did notice...

[@MKWilliam]

First person is because of the replay point of view, it's either that or cinematic camera, they weren't actually driving in 1st person. the replay system really sucks lol

From a personal perspective it has to be my Rosalina's Ice World world record, since that was my first world record and it was a really incredible journey to get there

[@BeefinOut]

How did you calculate those odds?

[@MKWilliam]

There were 2 ways of calculating the odds, either using the estimate for how small the gap between the checkpoints is or using community data. I ended up just asking the community how many times they had experienced a random respawn and how many total hours they had on the game since it relied on less estimating. I then calculated how frequently players will on average cross a checkpoint. It's likely a little bit off since the sample size was quite small, and also because most of the people that responded had at least experienced it before, but it's hard to say for certain. I did at least try to make sure any bias kept the numbers smaller rather than larger though

[@iexist1300]

If the glitch occurs due to being in a specific spot during a frame, wouldnt slowing down increase the chance of not passing through that spot? Also, are there no ways of creating setups that either guarantee, or greatly increase the chances of the glitch? Unless im not understanding something, doing the glitch more consistently seems fairly simple. (Though it would still be inconsistent)

[@iexist1300]

Or you could just drive back and forth until the spot is hit.

[@MKWilliam]

Yeah you can probably make a setup to make it more consistent, but it's still way too inconsistent to ever be useful in a run. I think we might be able to do it in TASes if we ever get bruteforce tools though

Cf said in dms to me that he had a ghost that got a random respawn once, and that the ghost also respawned, so theoretically DK Jungle should be one of the easier ones to replicate it on, although it would still need to match the inputs from stelzigs video perfectly which may be impossible.

@@Goku_Black133 I have another video with voice over coming out soon, and Hgt did just release a new TAS that I helped with a lot of the strats on. I've worked on a few TASes recently, but I've mainly been strat finding instead of working on completing a full run

Hey William, I'm trying to get in contact with you because I think I might have the opportunity to start the Mariokart DS Shortcut revolution. I'd live to tell you more, I've even planning to make videos on it in the near future. I'd like to see your opinion on it and talk a bit with you!

[@MKWilliam]

Hey, you can contact me on discord (mkwilliam) or i guess technically twitter (@mkwilliam3), but i'm way more active on discord

Not currently, I don't think they have a lot of TAS tools

Okay just wondering, I found something that might be possible.

Rare af 3:25

[@ax3905]

Even rarer when considering the amount of checkpoints and which lap to do it on 😵 6:43

[@ax3905]

I love probability 😂

[@MKWilliam]

Yeah, it's pretty crazy. I think if it was more common the game probably would have been seen as unplayable though

[@Francy1704]
