Drew Weatherton | Mario Kart 64 - A New LARGE Non-Shortcut Strategy (Plus Explaining Some Smaller Ones) @weatherton | Uploaded 3 years ago | Updated 8 hours ago
The last eight months have been a wild ride in Mario Kart 64. A revolution sparked by Forest64 has led to new or improved shortcuts on nearly every course in the game. It’s been an amazing experience to be involved in and I've enjoyed collaborating with Forest64. Lately I’ve been on a break from shortcut hunting and focused more on micro optimizations for non-shortcut strategies, where savings of even a frame due to new strategies can be significant. Check out a new major strategy that I found in this video. Thanks to Forest64 for suggesting that this corner may be interesting to look at for non-sc (because the WR strategy already jumps over an out of bounds section, how far could it be pushed?).

Here is the micro500 Twitch video I referenced that inspired Forest64 and the shortcut revolution that started in August of 2020.
