Drew Weatherton | Mario Kart 64 - Luigi Raceway New Japan-Only Shortcut Flap 00"81 Using LUIGI (WR When Set) @weatherton | Uploaded 3 years ago | Updated 9 hours ago
Initial world record progression video is here: youtu.be/e5IqSisti9Y
This is the first Mario Kart 64 world record ever set with a middle-weight.
For the last several months, I've been collaborating with Forest64 on better understanding how wall collisions in Mario Kart 64. On 28-January 2021, Forest64 mentioned that he "found something interesting." We had been focused on going THROUGH walls but Forest64 noticed that if you're traveling fast enough you can go far enough into a wall to interact with the surface behind it. On the Japanese version of Mario Kart 64's Luigi Raceway, there is a surface behind the gray wall with a useful section designation that allows full lap skips.
This new trick does not have a known useful application on other courses but may ultimately help us achieve a time trials Moo Moo Farm shortcut. Check out more details on this and other "drive through walls" tricks in the new Bismuth video (youtu.be/2_uRIyAgtpE) that Forest64, micro500 and I collaborated on.
This time was set on Feb-1 2021 but not posted until our explanation video was published.
Note: sorry for the lack of audio, I was using a new HDMI capture card and the audio dropped out during the session.

Quick demonstration showing that its faster to jump once you release a mini-turbo when entering a sharp turn. I have the input visible on the top left of the screen.")

By going around the first corner, you can trick the game into thinking youre making forward progress even when jumping back towards the finish line. You just have to stay outside the course until you get past the finish line for the lap to count.")
