Yes, this run is prelim.
I completed the run using a keyboard, but that limits my inputs greatly. I'll redo the run implementing accidental strats I've discovered, such as performing a slip drift after the sandhop. I believe this lap can be pushed to 37.4xx.
Also sorry, my speedometer decided to not work. I'll get rid of it when I record my 3lap.

Most unfortunate that this was uploaded today, but I literally tried this ultra for months and its finally here. I just couldnt wait. As such, unlike the other ultra shortcuts published on this day, this is actually a real ultra.
This is probably the hardest thing Ive pulled off in this game. With the help of BillyNoodles, we looked into the tracks KCL and found extremely small horizontal walls on the very edge of the fence. Yes, there is an invisible wall, but part of the fence sticks out of the invisible wall. Its quite weird because it is very hard to actually land on the strip of horizontal wall, and even harder to actually pull off the HWG.
To make things harder, in 9/10 cases, when you do trigger the HWG, you pop out and dont land on the bridge seam, making you go OOB. To make sure this doesnt happen, I need to utilize an RFH ejection so I can gain lots of upwards momentum, and doing so allows all of my momentum to be mitigated so I can navigate the seam.
The seam riding was, surprisingly, not the hardest part. It was tedious and I did experience a desync, which caused all of my progress to be removed. I had to redo the entire setup.
After that, I shroom to enter the lap and turn around. The next part is extremely precise. I need to not only go right around CP0, but also enter CP3. Its easy to go around CP0, actually, but its almost impossible to get back into CP3. After days of attempting this ultra, I finally managed to maneuver around the checkpoints and trigger the checkpoint before getting out of bounds.
This ultra is only possible with Bullet Bike. No other vehicle has the proper hitbox to collide with the horizontal wall in the proper way. Im not even sure if its possible with anything besides the quacker, which as we know, is slower.
This is not possible RTA.

sadly this is not faster for flap as its literally slower than the current no ultra flap :(( wouldve loved to see this be the meta but alas this is what mario kart wii has come to
jk lol charlies clip is still cool and its crazy how much dkjp can be broken :0")

Credits to shortcut idea go to dm248.
This is crazy! When dm248 mentioned the idea to me, I initially had attempts at the fence and got a lot of height, probably enough to clear the gap, but I kept hitting the ceiling. In hindsight, it probably wouldntve been at a good angle, but thats why this new alignment is better!
Hitting the fence is honestly super precise and really, really annoying to do. Its easily possible with a few adjustments here and there, and Im possible this can be done in a flap TAS.
Is one shroom possible? Hard to tell as of right now. I got a 6 frame clip instead of a 5 frame clip, and the 6 frame clip had just too low of a height to clear the ceiling with one shroom. So, is it possible with a 5 frame clip and optimal TF physics during the clip? Probably not. While it may clip the ceiling, there is still an extra length you need to go for this to work, and this wouldnt work unless you can somehow bounce off of the edge of the track and land on the other side, which also runs the risk of hitting the wall.

This was just a fun little thing I wanted to do over winter break, but not with the intent of actually optimizing it. Im actually surprised that my laps 2 and 3 beat the 2 laps in Thomas run, even though my lap 1 was a lot slower. I didnt watch any of the runs as reference, as I wanted to see what I could do on my own. As you can see, this didnt work out so well, as I already see an improvement to the first turn. Ah well, something to redo for later :P
I did the old method but I also want to try out the new method. However, my goal for the old method is 1:06.1xx, which seems doable given some visible improvements throughout the run.
Hope you enjoy! :)

What a track! Its one of the best custom tracks Ive seen thus far, so huge props to the creator on that. Shame it isnt in CTGP lol.
Theres not really much to say about the ultra, just that its... well, an ultra lol. As for it being RTA viable, its not that hard with a respawn (i.e. just dont go for the clip and youre good). Without a respawn, practicing clip alignment will be more important as the clip itself isnt precise or anything.

Compared with the first video, it looks like the ejection can be improved. However, the supergrind is greatly improved and this overall saves .3 from the original video.
Therefore, Shooting Star - 1, Flame Runner - 0. :P")

THIS IS MKDASHERS VERSION, NOT TOCKS VERSION. Many of the shortcuts that work here might not work on Tocks version. I plan to break this track as much as possible, and move onto Tocks version to find glitch strategies on that track.
I had originally done this in September, but I had forgot to finish it and record :(. I was at a 20.008, so a few days ago I optimized the respawn and the ending and got a 19.980.
Let me explain how I found this. I first thought, what if you could get a faster start at the glitch? The way that this glitch works is to first go on the edge of the railing during the flap and then falling into the part of the track near the end of the lap, allowing for a faster time. It would be much faster if you could just start the lap being in that seam, right?
So I performed a little maneuver around the railing. This is extremely hard to do; its hard enough to get around the railing, but even harder to stay on the track. This allowed me to start the lap inside the railing, which saves tons of time.
Next, I could either enter the lap in an ssmt, and maneuver into cp0 and trigger the lap, or I could drift into the lap. Drifting is faster, but its also extremely hard, because cp1 is literally RIGHT NEXT to cp0, and for this glitch to work, you cant hit cp1. So I had to make use of this tiny window of space I had to trigger the lap. Once I had done this, I had many options on what to do.
I had initially just went with the old route, but theres actually this huge wall that you need to travel over, so I had to end up travelling up the seam and over the wall. During one of my improvements, I thought it would be funny to see if I could get onto the track above, just for fun. I was driving around, and realized I ended up *right next* to the ending ramp. I checked the checkpoint map, and realized it wouldnt be far off if I could just respawn and end up right near the finish line. To my surprise, I could actually trigger the last checkpoint right before I respawned, meaning that this crazy idea actually worked. It ended up saving loads of time over what I had been doing before.
This flap has been through many iterations and strat testings, and this track is nowhere NEAR done being broken. Ive found a no ultra strat that is pretty interesting, and more strats that are unfortunately slower, but all this proves is that this track has a lot more to offer.

THIS IS A LOTAD (low optimization tool-assisted demonstration). I AM JUST SHOWCASING THAT SHOOTING STAR IS FASTER. There may be more strats found in the future.

This confirms a mid 1:26 is possible.
The cave driving is horrible and honestly everything after the superhopping entrance into the cave isnt optimized. 28.7 is for sure possible with these strats.
