I will never be able to drive a perfect lap, there's always gotta be something to make it unique and special.
I think 46.0 is possible lap 1.

![[MKW] MT is a heartbreaker
my nerves are made of nets
The ghosts are my 2:15.793 WR (at time of upload) and the run where I set 45.091 BKS (the two end times were similar and I couldnt remember which was which so I used both)
I finally got my disc drive replaced so Im able to TT and save any ghosts I want so I can make these extra powerful fail comparison runs :)) [MKW] MT is a heartbreaker](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Padn2opzN0E/mqdefault.jpg)

Embarrassing lap 2, great turn skip lap 1, absolutely phenomenal personal BKS lap 3.

![[MKW Former WR] Maple Treeway Fastest Lap (No Glitch) - 42.707 - HD Demon
Watch in 4K60! Improved: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HR2AWemTq4
The 42 has finally happened, and with a huge sub!! My only complaints would be for a slightly faster SC, using only one hop to recover to give a more ideal line from turn skip with optimal mini-turbo release, no wheelie turns, and also a triple net. Everything else went just about perfectly!
Going for lap 2 flaps with a category thats largely QM really sucks your time away, so Im very thankful my first 42 was a large cut into 42. I see this going down to a 42.5 or 42.4 if I or anyone really wants to push it. Getting a turn skip as optimal as I got in this flap doesnt happen often, and was probably my first one since my last flap of 43.0 lol

![[MKW AR] Maple Treeway Shroomless - 2:18.906 - HD Demon
I got tired of losing incredibly paced glitch runs to the entry so I decided to play some shroomless and this popped out within an hour.
Kisaragi has been putting in work here, so I dont expect this run to last very long for either of us. Im finally seeing the theoretical limits of MT get realized - a 2:17 shroomless run?? When I first began this was insanity - but now its becoming more and more likely.
Its pretty neat how both our 2:18s pacing are so similar, pretty eerie.
Streams should start next week for MT glitch and maybe rMC afterwards at https://twitch.tv/speed64demon

![[MKW] Maple Treeway (Turn Skip) Lap 1 - 44.121
with a double net, too.
IMPROVED: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gjICfWbgyo
a 43 lap 1 is definitely possible with a turnskip this clean.
2025 is the year of 2:12.
With this BKS improvement, we now have objective evidence that a turn skip run can beat the very first glitch run set on MT: Troys 2:12.283
44.121 / 44.078 / 44.078 = 2:12.277
Lets get to work.
Previous Best Known Split: 44.146 - Myself (with triple net, too)
I started testing the new input manipulator that MrBean35000vr and Chadderz have been working on due to the incoming hardware that allows people to send .rkg files through a controller port.
This run was set without it.

![[MKW] Maple Treeway Big Boy WR Fail (No Glitch) No Turn Skip
WE SAD BOIZ OUT HERE
NERVES STILL AFFECT THE GODS
45.344 / 45.017 / fail
This is the fastest pace I have ever had entering lap 3 on this track, ever. Lap 2 could have easily been a 44.7 or 44.8 with better SC and no bounce at the end. Its amazing what happens when I hit the chain wheelies.
I was racing my 2:15.793 ghost to get a better idea of the net pacing for 2:15 net, and unfortunately I choked the triple net lap 3 and failed to salvage the run. I didnt realize I was still ahead of Kisaragi so I threw the run away after failing triple net for the middle branch strat because I had no idea my lead was still that strong.
The other two ghosts were Kisaragis 2:16.073 and my recent 2:16.237 run (which was just absolutely average in every regard).
45.604 / 45.199 / 45.270 = 2:16.073 Kisaragi
This means I was 0.442 ahead of Kisaragi entering lap 3. OOF

I wanted to stream more but Ive gotten so many more hours than I thought I would at my new job at the pharmacy, and by the time Im done with my shift I am drained of energy. Ill attempt to stream on my off-days between my two jobs because I miss it.

Splits: 45.482 / 45.414 / 45.162
Update: June 4, 2018
All I have to say is this link here:
http://chadsoft.co.uk/time-trials/leaderboard/0B/48EBD9D64413C2B98D2B92E5EFC9B15ECD76FEE6/00.html#filter-times-all
(Look at all those low 2:16s in late May / early June)
I cant help that I work best with clutch catch-up lap 3s. This is my brand. I also seem to be really consistent with beating Kisaragi by very small fractions of a second. Its gotta be frustrating.
Some obvious flaws in this run:
no stick SCs 3/3
bad TAS Jak lap 2
bad u-turn lap 1 and 3
I set the run youre watching now at like 2:40am. It was the first time I began actually hitting the chain wheelies during that session.
The ghosts I chose to compare are a 2:16.075 and 2:16.083 I set days prior to this.
The 2:16.075 run was an easy 2:15 I choked because the dpad on my GCN controller is fickle and I had a delayed wheelie into the lap 3 net entrance. That or I suck at lines when it matters most.
The 2:16.083 run has 0/3 chains and 2/2 drops with a Zenel strat lap 1 (I think). Another 2:15 robbed by the wheelie button. Or, of course, I dont have the rhythm.
I will continue to push the NTS category until I feel like I cannot improve further. I really need to work on my u-turn and nets - this will unlock mid 2:15 runs for me, possibly even beating my current 2:15.639 turn skip run (which is insanely weak for a turn skip) if I dont salvage another improvement there before then. I hope to push turn skip to 2:14 by the end of the summer.
rMC will wait.

I hope to stream soon and more consistently but Ive been keeping busy with work so far this summer and streaming seems to tank my internet for everybody else in the house, so the opportunities are usually late at night when I need to be up early for work. Id rather sleep.

Thank you to everyone who reminded me to use turnskip on lap 3, I couldnt have done it without you.
Splits:
45.486* / 44.377* / 44.644* | *3/3 turn skip, 1-1-1 shroomstrat
Previous WR (329 cut RESPECTABLE): 2:14.836 by HD Demon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlmNDVi1wSs
*more like 2.5/3, since lap 1 was a high or wide turn skip. I dont personally consider this a true 3/3 but on the books, its a 3/3.
While I had hoped my previous run would not last a full year, it did. While the rest of this game has advanced to levels never before seen with glitches on RR, KC, rBC, and others, MT turn skip continues to be a meme factory of errors. The big bounce lap 1, the wall clip lap 2 (didnt cost THAT much, just caused big air), and the missed miniturbo lap 3 (my signature move) + a few other minor errors most definitely cost the 2:13 in this run. I will persevere :) I stream at least weekly, sometimes more, mostly Saturday afternoons around 3-4PM CST. Home of everything Treeway (Benny glitch attempts too hehe).

Overall, the run had incredible driving that was held back by those rather significant errors! I think Ive adjusted my sights while not becoming complacent by aiming for a solid 2:12. Once I hit 2:13 with a 3/3, I plan to experiment a lot more with shroomless turnskip in runs. That 2:09 I said last March?? Yeah, that was pure hype. 2:11 is where Im drawing the line in the sand now.

Thanks for watching! Im happy I was able to record and upload in breathtaking 4K, but the file sizes do not agree with my internet speed at all. Plus it took a lot longer to render.
