Here it is: the most collaborative flap in Mario Kart Wii TAS! Charlie began this TAS by being the first person to traverse around the perilous 'Charlie corner' at 0:14 (watch in 0.25x speed) with Spear. I then suggested the idea of using a shroom to start the flap as opposed to reversing into it. This saved over 3 seconds alone. You can see who worked on what part of the run by looking at the name display on the left. Approximately over 100 hours of work was put into this TAS.

It isn't possible to turn around any closer to the finish line because of the 95% rule. Jellopuff managed to achieve a really good turn-around where Funky Kong enters cp1 after stopping (entering the first checkpoint bypasses the 95% rule), and exits cp1 before using the 3rd shroom. From there we drift and hop to manoeuvre around the finish line (which extends to around halfway across the black void) and curl around it to trigger cp24 and get the respawn.

While we were busy optimising the first part of the run, we also got to work optimising the part after the respawn. Once we were done, Kierio then spliced the 2 halves of the run together for us. After further tweaks to the final turn, we were at 16.170. This would've been the final time, however Citrinitas was determined to stop at nothing to achieve the grand 16.169.

After grinding for days, he got an estimated 0.0005 improvement to the respawn drop boost, along with another 0.0005 improvement to the pipe trick, adding up to a total cut of 0.001. Finally - the 16.169 was done, and Citrinitas become the 69th TASer to get a BKT.
