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.

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.")

Dedicated to Doco, he will be the shared #1 with Monar forever.
First non-Jap to sub 1:36.700. (o_o!)
Second fastest time in the entire world, this is the spot Ive deserved to be in for such a long time now, its hard to imagine how much effort went into this 1 minute and less than 37 seconds of awesome.
Im not satisfied with this time, Id say all Sections have utter failures... But the thing is, I do not have time to play Mario Kart 7 to such extent anymore due to school, so I guess Ill leave Rainbow Road at this... I hope this will remain permanent Rainbow Road, and at least 2nd Worldwide for a little while...
