The Ultimate Mario Kart Wii Iceberg Explained

[@gmdblue]

Correction Doc (Made by bento, ejay, & other community members!) - docs.google.com/document/d/16u0dsBEB_Y_5cBvA0XvABPHrsHkLrbLoHJ9ngQsRtk0/edit?usp=sharing Second Correction Doc (Made by Jellopuff - docs.google.com/document/d/15NrFkhwLFSBPfGrIPgd58kHTg95qkcF5CEiqp9tcCyk/edit ) I tried putting a big list here, but it's too long even for a youtube comment. The doc is not done currently but it will be soon so be on the lookout for that! There will most likely be a shortened version at some point so people can read about it here on KZbin as well. Huge thanks to bento, ejay, & other community members for reaching out and offering to help with clarifications and general corrections to thing I got wrong in the video, really can't thank them enough. Sorry about the occasional flickering in the video. I think I got unlucky with hardware as I recently built a new PC, and I tried re-rendering this like 6-7 times to fix it but I literally can't do it, so it is what it is. Really wish it wasn't there, I had no problems with the Luigi's Mansion video, so I don't know what happened here.

Mario Kart Wii is such an enigma of a game. Its community has grown in spite of the fact that the official service was shut down a decade ago, it has some of the most insane TAS tricks around, especially for a racing game, and all in all represents achieving the impossible. My first ever upload on one of my old channels was an MKWii video in 2008. I love this game man

[@EjayB]

Hey! MKWii TASer here. Can't even begin to imagine how much time it took to create this video, major props to you! Just wanted to correct a few statements real quick: 1:47 - There are actually 6 tracks left without ultra shortcuts. The community uses the term ultra longcut to denote tracks with key-checkpoint exploits that don't save time when compared to the fastest run that doesn't use an ultra. 3 tracks have ultra longcuts: DK's Snowboard Cross, Moonview Highway, and GCN DK Mountain. 33:54 - This is absolutely not a wall. What you highlighted is drivable road (offroad specifically). Wall collision is not drivable. 34:05 - We know exactly why the most common form of horizontal wall glitch occurs. It's got to do with this particular chunk of code and walls that are slanted at an angle greater than arccos(0.85). Also the next 2 videos you played don't have any HWG in them. 39:27 - Rapid-fire hop abuse isn't the same thing as supergrinding. There's a key distinction between the two. Supergrinding is when you utilise rapid-fire hopping to specifically build up speed. Rapid-fire hopping on its own is useful for many things outside of using it to supergrind, such as low-tricking ramps (as you mentioned). 59:39 - This technique is called a wall trick or wall bounce, not a wall cancel. Great work once again!

The mii track differences isn't talking about the mii weight differences. It's talking about the fact that if you play as a mii, aspects of the map will change, for example, when you mention the Yoshi sphinx and are confused as to why it's not a mii like you remember, that's because sometimes it is a mii, assuming there's a mii on the track.

Holy crap, I know something the narrator doesn't. The "Light Weights Are Bad" video was someone playing as Toad while in a duck just before the finish line, but they lost momentum first by getting hit by something (I think it was a green shell). Then before they could get their momentum back, was knocked off the track by bouncing off by some large characters I think they were Funky Kong, then Bowser, then... some other character. While trying to get back on they get hit by an explosion where the video ends.

absolutely insane video, even as someone who has been passionate about this game for countless years i learned quite a few things! there were a few quirks i wanted to elaborate on further with what i do already know 7:31 i believe km/h is an unofficial description for the base speed units that mario kart wii uses, mph is not useful here 53:59 i think this is referring to some actual inaccuracies i have personally noticed in the vehicle stats displayed in the menus, especially easy to pick up in the drift stat. for example: dolphin dasher, magikruiser, and zip zip/rapide's drift stats are not displayed correctly 57:06 beating the expert stat ghosts does not give unlocks, but unlocking them does 1:14:23 this song is Bobble Head Inspiration by Nex from OverClocked ReMix. a lot of oc remix songs are extremely good and absolute hidden gems. the ctgp revolution channel banner music was also an oc remix song, Fleeting Ecstasy by Ben Briggs 1:26:35 im guessing this actually refers to the cc probabilties online. in rooms filled with players with lower VR or race rating, there is a higher chance of 100cc being picked. obviously 100cc is slower and more boring but it also makes some shortcuts harder or impossible also i was a little disappointed that the iceberg never mentioned RMCC, a version of mkwii for the unreleased iQue Wii in mainland china. it is entirely possible it still exists as we were able to get the entire ique wii system menu through leaks, but no luck yet. and wheres chadderz doing the macarena, huh? thats pretty important i think. im very glad cowboy jed got his share of mention cuz he is the most important person to all of mario kart wii's history

Thanks for the feedback! I'm going to make a giant pinned comment at some point with everything people can find. I had proofwatchers and stuff like that but things do slip through the cracks.

[@koura7883]

I believe that km/h is just standard because mr bean is british. I know some TASers are particular about using units per frame instead of km/h. mi/hr would end up being the exact same as km/h because neither of those titles are accurate to what the in-game velocity means. I assume km/h was used so that you (the player) get an intuitive sense of how fast the character is moving and consequentially how big the racetrack is.

[@JadenMKW]

I can only imagine the massive amount of work it took to create this video, and going even further to provide all of the corrections is greatly appreciated. Thank you! If you are interested, there is a lot of backstory behind the Desert Hills Backwards Shortcut (52:48). I joined the MKW community in early 2020 because I was inspired to find my own ultra shortcut, and this exploit was the first thing I found. Yet, I was unaware it was already known, and had already been dismissed as slower. I theorized it as an ultra shortcut because I was new and didn't understand the criteria for ultras yet. Basically, it uses a different checkpoint exploit than an ultra, and therefore could never be an ultra. It only gained notoriety as a potential shortcut when I went a step further and combined the exploit with the additional backwards shortcut shown at 53:10, which apparently, no one had seriously considered. However, this was versus only as you state. This is because it requires obtaining an item after respawning, to take the backwards cut. It would have had additional value online because you could smuggle a power item into a top spot, due to position shenanigans. Unfortunately, it was these shenanigans that got the glitch banned online, making it irrelevant once more. I don't think the bagging aspect had anything to do with it, but rather the actual position bugs it caused for players. HOWEVER, plot twist! Much later, Justin found that this backwards cut was possible shroomless all along, with a simple well-timed hop. I don't know how I missed this. Regardless, this finally made it viable once again, but this time for time trials. This is a lap 3 exclusive shortcut, as you need to do it after already using all three shrooms. Otherwise, you'd lose them when you respawn. Despite all of this, no one has used it in a world record yet, nor is anyone really attempting it due to its obscurity. I'm pretty sure a skilled player could get a WR with this, and this story won't truly end until they do... The actual ultra shortcut, found much later, only saves time for a fast lap record, so the backwards shortcut remains on top for regular records. Not to mention, the actual ultra shortcut is also extremely difficult and has only been done with TAS, although it is theoretically humanly possible and one person has gotten close, 117james. He is the only person to actively attempt this glitch due to diminished interest in flap records, combined with the difficulty. All of this to say, a week or so after Desert Hills, I was also the person to discover that overhang in the invisible wall in Mario Raceway, which led to an actual ultra shortcut. It was an insane turn of events for my first few weeks in the community... I make custom tracks now btw lol P.S. I'm glad you got use out of my replay glitch video as well, I'd definitely recommend trying it out. I should note I did not originally find that glitch, but I did figure out how to set it up consistently, as well as documenting the few interesting side effects you mentioned.

Mario Kart Wii has alway been my favourite Mario Kart game, followed by Double Dash and 8 Deluxe. I love the game's aesthetic and janky charm. Coconut Mall is probably still my favourite track. It's extremely fascinating to find out about the cut content and obscure details.

25:41 I believe they were talking about how if you play as a mii on some tracks, character faces get swapped with your mii’s face

1:19:45 this has to be the most foreboding image I've seen

[@mattsolegod]

54:40 As a Dutch person, I can actually say that this was the case for a lot of Wii games. Wii Party is the only example I can think of right now of a first-party Wii game actually having a Dutch localization available. Mario Kart 7 would be the first game to include one, and I can remember seeing Mario Kart in Dutch for the first time - it blew my mind.

I love how the music gets scarier for every layer

The new glitch shortcut on GCN Mario Circuit in MKWii wouldn't have been possibly in "old_mario_gc_hayasi", because the 3rd key checkpoint would be skipped. Also, in "old_mario_gc_narita", are there seriously ZERO key checkpoints apart from the starting/finish line itself?!?? Wow.

I don't know if something's wrong with me but I saw that thumbnail, saw the runtime, and made a deafeningly loud primal tribal monkey noise and my neurons activated

[@BassMrBatman]

Should include short cuts only possible from bumps of other people

I didnt even know waluigi stadium was hated. That is one of my favorite tracks. Did you even play the mk8 version?

[@Dynvpse]
