Unbelievable run! I used to think for a long time that 1:36.08X was the human limit, but here we are, at 1:36.075! Id call this the Limit Breaker run!
I finally managed to get Hugos strat to work in a World Record, which makes this Section 2 incredibly difficult to beat.
I was EXTREMELY nervous during Section 3, a real bummer that I didnt do a perfect final SC, it could have possibly cost me the sub, Im not 100% sure.
First World Record to sub 1:36.100.
My next goal is the SUB 1:36.")

Im being honest here, I dont like this game, and I dont like the mashing B on this track.
I am going back to Mario Kart 7 Rainbow Road World Record as soon as possible.
But first, I have to study for exams.")

Darnit! Darnit! DARNIT!! I really did not want this to happen again, another SUB fail due to the final shortcut!!!!
Section 1 is extremely good, too good even, to the point that it is actually annoying to play against!!
First World Record to sub 31.900 in Section 1.
I SWEAR TO GOK, THE NEXT WORLD RECORD IS THE SUB!!!!! -... And I lied...")

My job is almost done here guys, I will only aim for a permanent European Record and as long as possible lasting 2nd Worldwide time... The Japanese have dominated this track for a long time ever since Nyko disappeared from the #1 spot, and for all the right reasons, I really just want to play Pokémon Stadium and Pokémon X now after all this time... But not before I am at the right spot I deserve to be at after all of this intense practice of both Old and New strats.

A little bit tired of writing long Descriptions nowadays, so listen here.
This run is a complete fail, theres 7 major errors:
1. Failed start boost
2. Failed first leaning
3. Failed start Section 2
4. Failed Glider boost
5. Missed a lot of the conveyer belts
6. Forgot to fastfall before leaning up S3 final trick
7. Sam is a dick
1:36 is possible, but Rainbow Road gets so dickish with its rotating barrel and wavy part when you are nearing 1:37.0xx times. Docos run is absolutely magical in terms of surpassing those trails.")

Footage is not mine, I do not own it.
I do not own a Wii U GamePad capture card, so I ripped NiNTENDOMiNATi0Ns video that he used his capture card for.
Sorry for my absence the past 20 days, but I just cant get the editing PC for myself during summer holidays. Starting the day after tomorrow, I will be too busy for making a lot of content, but Ill try my best.

Sorry that the video is so bad quality despite being 1080p, the thing is that I ripped a video source from YouTube and that got recompressed a total of 4 times before being displayed on your screen.
Also, sorry for the full bottom screen being visable on the right-bottom corner. This is just the source video that I had to work with.
I personally dont like putting the map in right-bottom corner, because thats where the rank of the player appears in larger sized fonts. I would put it on the top-right corner myself if I dont find a better lay-out. (which I have ideas for...)
This video is just an editing test, I want to know what a good lay-out would be for Mario Kart 8 videos. Be sure to leave some feedback in the comments.
I notice that a couple of people have actually bought Katsukitys GamePad capture card, and theyve not been creative with their screen lay-outs in editing, NiNTENDOMiNATi0N being a perfect example, looking at the source video I used to make this.
So, I hope those people will try to be a bit more creative, because the Wii U GamePad is just brilliant, and Chuggaaconroy has done some amazing editing on his Kid Icarus: Uprising videos, which I was inspired by to make this, also PhotobrickStudios a bit.

Comment on run:
Section 1 is good, as always, Im not very interested in Section 1 itself anymore, but 1 and 2 combined are important to me. The leanings first turns were good, 7 stunts was good, turn after Mushroom bounce was a small time loss, but .949 is excellent, too bad I lost all the time gained on the Ghost as soon as Section 2 starts.
Section 2 is as always SUPER weird. I lost all the time saved vs Ghost immidiately as this Section started, and lost even more as I landed the first Glider, this happens from time to time and is normally not a big deal because I know I can get most lost time back on the next Gliders Glider boost. The point where it gets weird is when I missed the Super Mini Turbo after the Glider bounce, the thing was that I knew I couldnt stunt through the wavy part if I continued with the Super Mini Turbo and if I tried going on the right of the hole, I knew Id lose time, which is what usually happens. Also in the back of my mind was that the angle I looked quite dangerous and if I continued with it, there was potential to completely fail this run on the spot. That is why I did a regular Mini Turbo, sacrificing all the time ahead of the Ghost. In the end I got very lucky with my Moon landing, stunt over the crator, wallboost and a tiny optimisation right before Section 3 that made me go toe-to-toe with the Ghost in the end.
Section 3 is good, I was toe-to-toe with my Ghost at the start, as always started losing a little bit of time once in the barrel for whatever reason.. Like I said in my previous WR, Section 3 new barrel strat takes luck and skill combined, I was shot out of the canon at a little bit of a worse angle because I was slightly slower than my Ghost, this gives more of a challenge when trying to do a good Glider boost. This run made me realise how perfect the Glider boost was in my previous WR, Ive tried recreating that amazing Glider boost, but I always ended up failing it for various reasons, so as I saw myself in the air, I tried to go for a much safer, slower method of doing the Glider boost, which led to some time loss, but I knew I could win back time on the final SC. Ive been practicing the final SC a lot recently, I knew I could beat my time at the very end, while being behind the Ghost, I was almost uncertain whether I was going to make the final SC as good as I intended in mid air, but I landed it almost perfectly, panicked a bit and finished the run quite fine.
First World Record with a 31.949 Section 1 and second World Record & PR ever with a 28.8XX Section 3. :)
Q: Is 1:35.9 possible?
A: As always, Im not sure because of how the position of the wavy part and barrel changes dependant on how fast you are... I honestly think the human skill limit is at 1:36.080 right now, but remember that Ive been wrong on things before...
Q: Will someone beat you?
A: At some point, maybe... Roronoa91 has been talking about how hes going to return one day. I have had no contact with Monar, ToReln and Sherry recently though.
Q: Will you continue playing?
A: Actually yes, I recently got a WR fail you can see here:
