[MKW WR] SNES Ghost Valley 2 (No Glitch) - 52.781 Blaze 2020-05-11 | Update: May 8th, 2020Splits: 17.749 / 17.522 / 17.510---Solid laps all around, without any major driving errors. The run itself is much more consistent than my old record from 2018, but I definitely want to see how much further I can take this.Also, for whatever reason, my Wii is no longer able to connect to the internet, which is why I'm unable to upload this ghost (or my MG improvement from a few weeks ago) to CTGP for the time being. Hopefully I can figure this problem out soon. ---Music: Luxury Elite - Upscale
[MKW WR] Bowsers Castle - 2:09.113 Blaze 2019-09-08 | I haven't been playing MKW as much lately, but BCWii is definitely a track where long breaks can end up benefiting you. Obviously, the biggest time loss here is on the zipper trick lap 1 (or lack thereof). I probably lost only around .2 on this section, since my recovery ended up being pretty good (which is rare for this outcome). I still can't believe I got a WR with this mistake in it, but it probably doesn't lose as much time as it looks. Lap 2 was pretty good despite the awful geysers, and the glitch was absolutely insane. Entering lap 3, I knew I could PR if I had a good finish, so I wasn't affected by nerves as much as I usually do on this track. Aside from a less than optimal first ramp, basically everything went well for me this lap, and I ended up improving the record by a large margin. I would have never imagined I could get a run with a lap this fast in it, but this track evidently can be pushed way further than I initially thought.

[MKW WR] Grumble Volcano (No Glitch) - 1:51.726 Blaze 2019-06-05 | Date: June 5th, 2019Splits: 37.203 37.309 37.214I know I'm capable of lowering this further, but this category has gotten pretty ridiculous to improve on at this level, so I think I'll leave it here for now. Now that it's summer, I'll have a lot more time to play this game, so I'm hoping to return to some other tracks I have record potential on. Lap 1: Really solid for a no lucky ramp lap. My best lap 1 is 37.116, and my best no lucky ramp lap is 37.178, and driving a split this close to BKS is pretty crazy for a track like this. Lap 2: Overall I drove pretty good this lap, but I got screwed over by unlucky bounces in a few places that cost me a decent lap. Lap 3: Lap 3 had some really unfortunate mistakes, so the lucky ramp saved me at the end. This run could have been even faster if I got a good lucky ramp recovery, but I ended up only getting a marginal time save from it. The last 3 turns on lap 3 are easily the most challenging part of the entire track, and the fire snake position at this pace makes it even more frustrating. I've failed WR paced runs countless times just in this section alone.
GCN DK Mountain - 2:05.994 (No Glitch) and 2:00.353 (Glitch) Blaze 2019-03-09 | I’ve been meaning to complete my timesheet for a while, and DKM was one of the last tracks left that I didn’t have a PR on. I started playing NG, but I ended up finding glitch to be pretty fun too. Also, my controller gave up on me on the turn after the turnaround on lap 2. I decided to upload these runs because I haven’t made a video in a while, and I might end up uploading a bunch of other PRs in the near future, since a lot of them don’t have videos.
[MKW WR] Grumble Volcano (No Glitch) - 1:52.060 Blaze 2018-12-28 | Update: December 27th, 2018Splits: 37.277 / 37.554 / 37.229I improved to a .088 the day before I set this time, but this run is much better overall. I failed a .239 .155 run without any lucky ramps a few days ago, so this time is still far from what I'm capable of here.--- Lap 1 - Really smooth lap overall, even though I still lost .04 over my best lap 1 (which also doesn't get a lucky ramp). Lap 2 - Considering this is around .3 slower than what I would consider to be a decent lap 2, this split had a lot of mistakes (most notably the bounce before the shroom, the missed wheelie after the shortcut, and the missed last low).Lap - Just like my lap 1, this split didn't have any real mistakes. I could have done the rehop after the first ramp better, but I didn't lose too much time there. ---Music: Super Mario Galaxy 2 - Melty Monster Galaxy
[MKW] Grumble Volcano (No Glitch) 1:52.103 Blaze 2018-12-20 | This run could have been much better if I didn't screw up at the end, so 1:51.9-8 shouldn't be too difficult with consistent laps (especially considering I didn't get any lucky ramps). ---Lap 1 - Pretty solid, but I've hit .26 lap 1s without the lucky ramp - only real problem was the wide cave slip.Lap 2 - Really good considering how high the last lowtrick was. Lap 3 - Even though this lap was driven really sloppily, the trick boost from lap 2 saved me some time. I chose not to go for the lowtrick at the end of lap 3 because I just wanted to finish out the run without choking, but it could have potentially been 1:51 if I tricked off the edge of the ramp. Either way, this was a pretty huge cut over my old PR, so I'm not complaining. ---Music: youtube.com/watch?v=jP3nhwLBtd0
[MKW] N64 Mario Raceway - 1:41.864 (6th Worldwide) Blaze 2018-10-17 | All of the laps had some mistakes, and the ending to lap 3 was tragic. My goal was to get WW tops, so I'm probably done here for the time being. Now I just need to get rPB no glitch WW tops back so I can have a top 10 time in all 6 of the shell cup categories.
[MKW WR] SNES Ghost Valley 2 (no glitch) - 52.796 Blaze 2018-09-30 | Update: September 30th, 2018Splits: 17.729 / 17.533 / 17.534I still can't believe this run happened. Ever since I set my 52.850 earlier this year, 52.7 has always been a goal of mine for GV2, since getting below .8 felt like the last humanly possible sub on this track. Despite the fact I hadn't played much of this course since I got my .826, I became motivated to try it again after seeing it gain some popularity in the TT scene over the past few months (the entire WW top 10 is now under 53 seconds). Coming back to it yesterday expecting to be rusty and unable to complete any laps, this very short session resulted in this run. Lap 1 - Good beginning, very nice shortcut, and excellent end section. Being only .014 off of the BKS, this lap is very solid all-around.Lap 2 - Although the shortcut was far from great, the 2nd half of the lap made up for it (the alignment going into the last turn could have been better, though). Lap 3 - Shortcut was decent, but the turn afterwards caught me off guard, and I ended up angled too far to the left. This cost me a bit of time, but I was still able to barely get the .7. That's all I really have to say about this run, but I can't express how great it feels to achieve something I've worked towards for so long. Of course, I'm far from finished here, but I can't see myself grinding this track again anytime soon. Thank you for the continued support :)---Worldwide Top 10 as of Upload Date:52.796 - Blaze (USA) 52.894 - Sussy (Japan)52.913 - Sosis (USA)52.918 - Shawn (USA) 52.943 - Fox (Norway)52.947 - Dane (The Netherlands)52.951 - David (UK)52.962 - Axel (Japan)52.970 - Joshua (USA)52.973 - Pondy (Japan)---Music: Father Figure - Arithmetickle
GBA Shy Guy Beach - 1:21.792 (6th Worldwide) Blaze 2018-09-07 | This had potential to be much better if I got chains, but I'm happy with this time.
[MKW] Moo Moo Meadows - 1:15.662 Blaze 2018-07-28 | Update: July 28th, 2018Splits: 25.186 / 25.267 / 25.209Really satisfied with this time, especially considering I didn't get any chains. I know that 1:15.5 is more than doable, but I won't play this track again until my time gets beat. Here's the analysis of the run:Lap 1: Very strong lap. The only noticeable mistake is the shortcut, but everything else was driven nicely.Lap 2: This was clearly the weak link of the run, but since I got a drop and ate grass after the low jump, it wasn't horrible. Lap 3: I played the shortcut and turn before the ramp way riskier than I intended, but I'm glad it paid off. I could have clutched out of a 1:15.5 if I had a good ending, but the last turn was terrible. I'm not complaining too much, though. Music: Fu Manchu - Evil Eye
[MKW WR] SNES Ghost Valley 2 (no glitch) - 52.826 Blaze 2018-07-10 | Update: July 7th, 2018Splits: 17.746 / 17.542 / 17.538Really clean and consistent overall, with lap 1 being the fastest split in a WR by almost .03. The run was on 52.7 pace until I hit the curb on the 2nd to last turn of lap 3, so I'm definitely not stopping here. Music: Boo Night Fever - Paper Mario: Sticker Star
[MKW WR] Bowsers Castle - 2:09.346 Blaze 2018-06-27 | Update: June 22nd, 2018Splits: 43.061 / 43.072 / 43.213I'm more than happy to have made such a massive PR cut here, especially after slowly climbing down from a high 2:09 in my other runs. Even though I probably should've gotten a time like this ages ago, I'm just glad it happened. I don't have too many complaints with this run for the most part, but seeing as it still has a few noticeable mistakes, I don't feel like I can put this track to rest just yet. If I were to play it again, I would probably shoot for an even lower 2:09 before I started implementing a few more difficult strats to chase after 2:08. Here's a more detailed analysis of the run:Lap 1: Very good driving in the first half, and a good shortcut to top it all off. My only real complaint with the lap is the failed trick landing (which probably cost me a little under .1), but the geyser section afterwards was good. Lap 2: Although I got a fast lowtrick on the first ramp, I lost all the time I had saved by failing yet another landing. But I recovered from it well, and it actually ended up giving me the right alignment to get a third carpet trick. I ended up getting an unwanted stair stick after the 2nd turn, and I was forced to use my shroom there as a backup. I lost a little bit of time because I had to chain an extra wheelie before the half pipes, but it wasn't massive. The split was definitely helped by the small trick boost it had into the lap.Lap 3: Despite being over .1 slower than the the other two, lap 3 had less noticeable mistakes. The main reason why it was so much slower was because of the first ramp, which sent me way higher than it should have. I had to go a little bit higher off the first halfpipe ramp to avoid hitting the fireball, since you can hit it if you're on a pace like this. Other than that, the rest of the lap was driven good; I wasn't even that nervous, since I didn't expect lap 2 to be as good as it was until I saw the split.Music: Hoshizora no Memoria - Onaji Hoshi ni Umarete
[MKW WR] Mushroom Gorge (no glitch) - 1:41.256 Blaze 2018-05-19 | Lap 1 and 3 were driven decently aside from the mushroom skips, and lap 2 was BKS by .074. My best splits now give me 1:40.944, so sub 1:41 might be a thing eventually? It would take a pretty crazy run, so I wouldn't count on it happening anytime soon, though.Worldwide top 10 as of upload date:01:41.256 - (USA) Blaze01:41.507 - (Norway) Fox01:41.583 - (Canada) Jas01:41.619 - (Ireland) Daniel01:41.693 - (Japan) m 01:41.877 - (USA) Leaf 01:41.880 - (USA) Nove01:41.890 - (USA) Shawn01:41.913 - (USA) Silver01:41.927 - (Japan) Wantyu
[MKW] SNES Ghost Valley 2 (no glitch) - 52.989 (with Mii) Blaze 2018-04-21 | Did an hour of attempts with Mii and got this, somehow. This is a lot slower than using Rosalina, in case you were wondering. David's Mii was like the only large one I had on my Wii, so I pretty much had to use him.
[MKW] SNES Ghost Valley 2 (no glitch) - 52.975 (with Rosalina) Blaze 2018-04-21 | Would be ranked 7th worldwide. Played this for fun, so don't think Rosalina is WR viable or anything. Since I haven't done that many attempts with this character, it feels pretty awkward on some parts of the track, but she might be easier to use on other spots because of her slower speed.Also, I've tried other characters, but they're so slow I struggle to sub 18 lap 1s with them.
25.164 lap 1 (1:15.4 paced run) Blaze 2018-04-06 | Final time was 1:15.995 with a missed MT (multighost is with Fox's WR)
[MKW WR] DS Desert Hills - 1:32.451 Blaze 2018-02-23 | I'm pretty happy that I got this run without having to play the track for too long, so I'll probably take a break from it for now. I didn't get the double trick lap 3 because I wheelie locked before the ramp.Music: Slateport City - Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire
17.479 Lap 3 (BKS) Blaze 2018-02-07 | Shortcut was pretty bad. I'll probably start recording live more often.17.715 + 17.498 + 17.479 = 52.692
