BlazeMSX | 10 New Custom Track Ultra Shortcuts in Mario Kart Wii @MalleoSquirrelX | Uploaded 4 years ago | Updated 7 hours ago
I've wanted to do something like this for a while now, ever since it became apparent just how much unexplored glitch potential many of CTGP's tracks still had. I had a lot of fun with this project, although many potential discoveries were ultimately shattered by the 95% rule, an annoying aspect of the game's checkpoint system that rendered many CTs unbreakable (youtu.be/2y5M_K0ah5Q). Fishdom Island, Halogen Highway, and Twin Peaks are just a few examples of these.

Secondly, huge props to Justin for coming up with the idea for the Thwomp Swamp glitch, and Snoop for the original Summer Starville ultra. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9UE...

Every glitch shown in this video is theoretically possible for real time runs, as none of them use rapid fire hop abuse. However, many of them would be quite tricky to pull off without tools, so I pity anyone who tries to perform a few of these.

Brief rundown of each ultra shortcut:

1. Summer Starville - This course originally had an ultra on a previous version that was ultimately "patched" by having an invisible wall placed around the perimeter of the rooftop. Since the checkpoints weren't altered, all I had to do was find a way to get past the invisible walls. The solution was to make use of glitchy vertically-facing walls on the other buildings to get enough airtime.

2. GBA Bowser Castle 4 - This is probably the strangest one in the entire video. For whatever reason, if an OOB plane is facing vertically, you can pass right through it if you're traveling at a slow enough speed. This extremely niche mechanic lead to what might be the first ever track where the Phantom is the fastest bike, since it's the only one with a low enough acceleration and top speed to evade the out of bounds while shrooming or doing a standstill miniturbo. Since this glitch is doable shroomless, it's possible 3/3.

3. Cherry Blossom Garden - This one requires another obscure ingame mechanic to work. The main idea for this glitch is straightforward: simply wall clip across the gap to land near the last turn. However, I found that it wasn't that simple, since a normal wallclip doesn't allow you to clear the whole distance. Two common solutions for dealing with this is to either do a barrel roll clip or a rapid fire hop ejection to increase airtime, but I found that neither was possible on this track. However, I found that I could get a similar effect by just getting the bike's tires stuck beneath the ground.

4. Dreamworld Cloudway - This glitch simply makes use of the slightly broken physics of mushroom pad collision, where you can get a ridiculous amount of airtime if done correctly. The only tricky part about this glitch is getting the wallclip off the castle's turret to trigger checkpoint zone 0, but I'm sure at least a few people are crazy enough to grind this. By the way, the timesave estimate in the video is WAY off, since it should save only like 1 minute in total.

5. Candy Coaster - Clip inside the giant cake and ride along the wall to avoid crossing over the finish line backwards, then simply drive backwards long enough to trigger the last key checkpoint. Unfortunately, the checkpoint is placed quite far back, so it doesn't save as much time as some of the others.

6. Skyline Avenue - Clip onto the bridge to avoid crossing into checkpoint zone 1, which allows for you to perform a shortcut that normally wouldn't count the lap. Unfortunately, you need to make use of some pretty janky collision to stay within checkpoint 0, which makes this glitch much harder to pull off. However, it still wouldn't surprise me if someone still manages to pull it off legit.

7. Sunset Raceway - This one is pretty self-explanatory, although I lost a lot of speed driving in offroad, since I couldn't wallclip far enough with Magikruiser.

8. Thwomp Swamp - Basically the same idea as rSL glitch, only it requires an even more difficult wallclip to perform.

9. New Moon Manor - This one is (by far) the most challenging one in the video. You need to make a completely blind leap over the invisible wall, then land perfectly on the seam of the OOB plane, all without falling off.

10. GCN Wario Colosseum - Ride along the seam of the wall to trigger checkpoint 0, then fall down to the track below. The finicky nature of driving inside the wall while also trying to avoid the fall boundary would make this one pretty difficult for RTA.

Good luck to whoever tries to pull these off in real time.
