Watch in 4K60!! The second REAL 3/3 (NOT FAKE).
The second true 3/3 turnskip run :) The Jak strats cost over 1 second combined... and my terrible final ramp landings... this is a certified 2:12 fail.
Steve Bernelli was my alias when I first joined the MKW player's page back in 2012 so I could claim the WGM site record at 4th WW. Very cool, very epic. It's based on the Benelli shotgun found in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six for the Nintendo 64, and Steve because Minecraft. Oh yeah, very very epic.

One day, I swear, one day I will drive well and hit turn skips as clean as these. The journey towards 2:12 may come faster than anticipated, since this run proves all it takes is one day where I drive well. I've been playing no-turn-skip more off-stream and it has considerably improved my consistency, so I am full steam ahead towards reclaiming everything Treeway.
My goals haven't changed with this improvement since it's still a 2:14, so here's what I said last time: I hope to take back the no-turn-skip BKT from Victor (go watch it here btw: youtube.com/watch?v=LZVSZf6T78s) but my sights are largely on 2:13 for now. I'll also go for the glitch category again at some point after 2:13. I stream at least weekly, sometimes more, mostly Saturday afternoons around 3-4PM CST. Home of everything Treeway.

I started off again with a strong lap 1, however the final ramp was weak and lost a good 0.100s due to airtime and nosebad. The lap 1 turn skip was okay, with a frame 3-4 first hop and probably frame 1-2 second hop. Lap 2 turn skip was bad, with a frame 4 hop. I think if I hopped any later and I wouldn't have been able to salvage a drift. Lap 3 turn skip was the magnum opus of the run, with a frame 1 perfect hop and thus optimal momentum, perfectly demonstrated by comparing to the ghost. The Jak strats lap 2 and 3 lost about 1 second in time (arguably 0.8-0.9s), combined with the failed final ramp lap 3 and 3/3 bad landings, this is a 2:12 fail. I very well could jump straight over 2:13 into 2:12. It is no longer possible, objectively, to beat this run with just one turn skip. You must use at least two. Overall this run was driven magnificently everywhere else, only held back by my egregious mistakes noted above.

Im so close to 23 :(
but yeah this shows why I avoid a wheelie into the low cannon - the low cannon is almost never low enough (and thats why my line goes so far left and it loses time because it takes slightly longer to even stop)
Ive been consistently ahead of my 1:58.144 PB as of late, hitting 46.4s and 46.3s lap 1 like theyre nothing, I really hope I can 1:57 before the new year and move on to goal #3 lol

Lap 3 was legendary for a double net, a 44.xxx lap is 100% possible here. Overall this run is yet another lap 3 comeback miracle type run, which I love. I was racing my turn skip time when I set this run, 2:15.708, so there were almost no nerves on lap 3.

Yes, I know this song is way too intense for a mario kart video, but I have been playing a lot of Guitar Hero III lately so itll serve like a time capsule.
Mario Kart Wii World Record Page:

Pros:
All 3 first corners after cannon
All 3 wheelie entrances into Wiggler treetop
Stick SC all 3 laps
Triple net lap 2
Lap 3 U-Turn and full chain
Cons:
Lap 1 U-Turn and Drop
Lap 1 Hop on last ramp
Lap 2 U-Turn entrance
Lap 2 last ramp landing (bounce)
Lap 3 high last trick due to bad line
There are two comparisons here:
1) versus Kisaragi (Neru)s 2:16.172
2) versus my previous two PBs here (2:16.243 and 2:16.220 respectively) as well as Neru.

Original stream audio in the 2nd half of the video!
I am unbelievably happy with my session on Friday. Ended with two World Record runs within an hour and a half of each other both live on stream. While they may not have been large cuts in milliseconds, they were monumental for my continued efforts towards a 2:14 on this track. I wont stop until I get there, and plan to stream every attempt until it is so.
I try to stream at least weekly, mostly on Saturdays, at my twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/speed64demon
Overall my critiques with this run: of course, the missed mini-turbo lap 1. Lap 1 turn skip was high, making it about a net even with normal SC. Triple net was solid. Lap 2 wiggler entrance was a wide angle, turn skip was great (not enough horizontal momentum as Id like), and missing the triple net kinda stung. Lap 3 went beautifully and could have likely been a 44.x without my wheelie adjustment on the final ramp.

so yes, this can be seen as a WR improvement fail lol, this is why I want a strong turn skip run. As it sits right now, MT no-glitch is incredibly weak and any strategy can still WR, including non-turn skip.

We may have not skipped 2:13 entirely, but we are now only 0.127 away from 2:12. We are within 1 second of Troys first glitch time of 2:12.282. Its happening.
Now that I finally hit the 2:13, and it was a MASSIVE cut into 2:13, Im going straight after the 2:12. Its too close and Im too hot to stop this momentum, so Im moving the goal posts (after stretching). In the future, I hope to take back the no-turn-skip BKT from Victor (go watch it here btw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZVSZf6T78s) but my sights are largely on 2:12 for now. Ill also go for the glitch category again at some point after 2:12. I stream at least weekly, sometimes more, mostly Saturday afternoons starting around 3-4PM CST. Home of everything Treeway.

Im incredibly impressed and happy with my driving throughout this entire run. The weak points are as follows: Lap 1 - bad line turn skip recovery with wheelie turns and drop wheelie, bad line on final ramp lost about 0.2 to these combined; Lap 2 - clean, could have taken corner before wiggler entrance tighter, turn skip could have been quicker (lots of airtime on detach), and I did not get the Totom-optimal triple net; Lap 3 - Jak strat could have been quicker, corner before wiggler section could have been tighter... net entry got QMd due to bad inputs (released my drift too early causing me to get airtime so the game ate 2 wheelie inputs start of wheelie was delayed, causing a poor line into net entry) so I was only able to salvage a double net with large airtime. This poor net entry prevented the triple net and thus 2:12, confirmed by Dolphin.

Justin is a god, kudos for him for not only the first 2/3 glitch run here, but the first King Boo WR in Mario Kart Wii. As it stands, this time is the current BKT for the 1/3 two-shroom category. I have confidence nobody will ever try to beat this again, including myself. Onto the next thing: clipping trees.
My Mii I used for this run is the first one I ever made for MKW, and I think was an inspiration to my nephew Tim, who made the previously used Mii, τιm$.
This was one of my fastest paced runs entering the glitch, as well as probably the fastest part 2 of the glitch (the 2-shroom wall hit). A good comparison (Ill upload later) is between this, my old 1:58.144, and 1:58.935 and 1:59.131 both without low cannons. These are all on chadsoft, besides my old run I think.
The only complaint is the high part 3, where my 1:58.1 run almost touches my current run. Also, of course, I cant land the last trick. Overall, Im happy with this run. Ill keep pushing for more, my end goal is 1:57.5xx or lower before ever attempting 1-shroom glitch. Im onto rMC now for this summer, hoping for WR.

The ultimate no-turn skip goal has finally been reached. There is peace within the Maple Treeway forest. The syrup factories are at maximum efficiency producing Demon Syrup™. Unlock 100% of your brains potential with the Everclear of Syrup, bottled locally in the huts of Maple Treeway! This is the greatest MT run of All Time.
This run had an INCREDIBLE pace. Had I been a little faster lap 2 (not messed up the shortcut, maybe a better u-turn) I would have nailed the triple net a full second ahead of Totoms 2:16.884. For lap 3... it was going so good. SO good. Then I had a terrible u-turn (it was wide) and drop wheelie (but we got air) and then to make matters sting just a bit more, only double net. Had I hit the chain and triple net, we wouldve seen a 45.0 (with good u-turn it wouldve been 44.9) and finished with a mid 2:15!! Huge shame about the bad landing on the final trick lap 3. It wouldnt be an HD Demon certified run without it LMAO. Im tempted to do a What could have been style video where I go in and optimize the u-turn forward to see what I could have gotten on Dolphin. This run is truly amazing and shows just how far no-turn skip still has to go!! 2:15 is not the end, my end-goal for NTS is going to be a 2:15.4 but I can rest easy knowing I hit the first 2:15 :)
Ghosts compared include: 2:16.058 (Demon), 2:16.073 (Kisaragi), and 2:16.220 (the super fast ghost ahead of us on lap 3, one of my fastest paces since returning in 2020).

Watch in 4K! Low cannon!!
Improvement by OVER ONE SECOND by -1.045 over previous WR by myself https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B26sNMK44Dk
I keep re-watching this flap to find any big errors, and I really cant besides the two main, obvious flaws: only double net (but I did get a double hop), and only one trick on the branches. I think fixing those two errors combined give another 200-300ms of timesave easily.
For the positives: I think the gap jump line was solid, tight line into cannon, wheelie mostly into cannon, perfect low cannon and lineup, not too much air on part 3 AND maintained wheelie as if its the rDH lucky cut (fast), and good mini-turbo into net.
Ive been labbing this flap all weekend long between Dolphin and RTA, its about time I get a second chance of the god tier low cannon since my very first RTA attempt. Theres different low cannons: based on the speed as you exit the cannon, you will be dropped shorter or further. Above 71kmh, and youve landed too far for a good line. Around 70kmh and below, you get the best line for part 3 of the glitch: the bump. Fun fact: the savestate I used in Dolphin gets a low cannon with the same speed, almost feels unfair. Almost. I really cant understate how useful Dolphin is for testing new tech or strats, especially like this one, where the RTA restart timing is over 1 minute between attempts. To reduce that to... well, instantly, accelerates progress to levels a 2008 player could only dream of.
Words cannot describe how happy I am to have achieved this run. To have all 4/4 Maple Treeway WRs is a great feeling, just like it was back then. I had just returned to glitch 3lap attempts on July 3rd in the morning, and later that day I came across the video demonstrating this tech. To have this quick of a turnaround from having never even seen this strat to strong WR makes me wonder if Im still playing at my best, or if I possibly have even greater things ahead. Time will tell.
