SIX TWO SIX MATSU TAKU.
I hate this track, but wanted to improve my AF a bit.
Everything in here is best split.
I started trying the right-side Gliderboost in my previous PR, (The Ghost I'm racing) but missed it on Lap 2.
I know you're supposed to do a SMT at the very first corner, but as usual, I first want to see how much struggle it must have been to the old players to get 1:49.9, before something as broken as that was found.
I can do 1:49.9 with the SMT strat, plus 3/3 good waterboost, plus 3/3 good Glider boosts... But screw that...

Former European Record.
THE
GOK
TIME
Live edit does not mean this is an actual Live recorded run, it means I have video edited the footage a bit to make it somewhat look like it is a Live recorded run.
Unfortunately, as I record my Wii U GamePad with just a camera that can not properly record 60fps, I decided not to spend as much time video editing this video as I should. I will try to make Time Trial videos that look exactly like they are recorded Live once I have bought an Elgato Game Capture HD, since that can record steady 1080p, 60fps.")

A: I dont know, sorry... Im doing a side-by-side comparison as soon as I can, hopefully today...")

This entire run was made thanks to the final shortcut which was absolutely amazing. I know I can beat this run and I will keep on trying.
For now, Im just so happy that Im .103 ahead of the previous world record holder and .97 ahead of 2nd worldwide, I never thought I would get this far, ever.")
