This recording uses a XZ speedometer. It can looks weird sometimes, but is very relevant here, especially on the mushroom section lap3.
This run is 9th on the Kart Top10 for this category, which makes me enter Tops here for the first time. I now have Kart Top 10 on all 3 categories on this track. I think I'm the first one to get Kart Top 10 on all 3 categories on the same track, the other track where it's possible being Grumble Volcano, and Coconut Mall. I'm at least currently the only one with this achievement.
About the run : When I took the left path lap1, it was because I missed a SMT earlier, and decided to practice a strat instead of reseting. But my mushroom bounces made me go for Wallride instead, so I decided to keep going for a Wallride run. Lap2 Wallride was very good for me, which made me realise i could get tops on this run. But I needed basically a 34 lap. And I only had driven one 34 lap ever here. So I went for the toki strat lap3, got a very good mushroom sideway speed, bad wallride, but it was still enough to get tops by like 30ms !

This run is a Tool Assisted Speedrun (TAS). It wont count on any real time ranking.

Another track where Karts are faster than Bikes !
When I started TASing Maple Treeway with a Kart, I just wanted to make a cool 3lap Kart TAS for this track. I was a bit shocked when I realized Kart had potential to beat the Bike BKT here.
Karts are fast here because they can take the turnskip much better than Inside Drift Bikes, because of how you get redirected forward when doing the turnskip on Outside Drift.
The other reason is the ending of the track, you can carry a lot of EV (gained with gravity) from the bridge, to the net, to the finish line.
The 2nd part of the track (from the turnskip to the end) is very difficult to optimize, and can still be improved most likely.
For this whole section, a lot of the time is gained by maximizing the EV you have and I dont currently understand precisely how to maximize it.
This is why I developed a tool to add random modifications to my inputs, and automatically keep the modifications that increased my EV. I used this tool a couple time at the 2nd half of each lap, and it helped me get more speed.
Lap1 net was fast, but didnt carry a lot of EV, this is why I charge a MT into lap2 instead of doing some hops.
Lap2 net was fast and carry a lot of EV, so I was able to carry a bit of EV into lap3 by doing some hops (its a bit faster than getting the MT like on lap1)
Lap3 net was slow, but carried a lot of EV.
Lap3 is slower than lap2 because lap2 got an extra MT at the beginning of the lap, lap3 had to lose time avoiding the wigglers, and lap3 had a worse net.
Thanks to Police (https://www.youtube.com/@thepolice3822) for sharing his ghost, it helped me A LOT understanding how to get good turnskips.

Former TAS best lap was 19.90 by Alessandro Mastroianni : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zuu1TskWXU
With an optimised start and ending, 16.xx lap might be doable.
This shortcut is also most likely doable without sacred fire, but its easier with it.")

I can stream 321 bpm only by shaking. I dont think its possible otherwise.
