THIS IS AN APRIL FOOLS VIDEO. THE REAL LUIGI CIRCUIT ULTRA SHORTCUT CAN BE FOUND HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWVkvLACPCo
Weve been looking into potential ways to break this track for months, but it had seemed that basically every possible lead was a dead end. Much of the reason behind this was a lack of an out-of-bounds exploit in the center of the track. We knew that the checkpoints dont extend nearly as far on the center out-of-bounds area, and Jaden even discovered a tangible platform that we could potentially reach if we found a way out-of-bounds. However, our biggest problem was just that we couldnt get out-of-bounds there. This all changed while I was experimenting with the ramp during the creation of the new Luigi Circuit supergrind 3lap TAS. I did some testing to see if a supergrind ejection off the ramp would provide enough height to get over the extreme high invisible wall, and what I found, to my surprise, was that a supergrind ejection combined with a wallclip off the left side of the ramp offered more than enough height to jump over the invisible wall.
The next problem I faced was landing on the out-of-bounds seam since anywhere aside from that would give me an unwanted respawn. This meant landing on the track while simultaneously remaining in the wall. To accomplish this, I switched from Spear to Bullet Bike, which is known for getting higher jumps off of ramps. This gave me a high enough clip to turn while in midair to setup for a wallclip off the invisible wall, giving me enough height to clear it while remaining nearly parallel to it, albeit facing slightly to the right so as to stay out-of-bounds.
From here, I had to maneuver the out-of-bounds seam to complete lap 1 and start the glitch lap. For the most part, this was trivial, but there was actually a significant obstacle I had to deal with here. At the very end of the lap, theres a pole whose collision extends slightly out-of-bounds, and I had to get around this shroomless. Luckily, a well-timed hop while clipped in the floor gave me enough of a bounce to avoid the pole entirely.
This was the point in the run that I had believed we could go no further. Yes, we were out-of-bounds on the right side, and we had a shroom to spare, but a glaring issue I had noted in the past was the respawn point on this track. The devs never intended for the player to be counted out-of-bounds on this track, and as such, theres only one respawn point on the track. The problem with this is that the only respawn position places us in the final checkpoint of the lap, which the game sees as us driving through the finish line backwards. Because of this, I did not believe it would be possible to use a respawn in the glitch. However, there was something I had previously overlooked. Once weve gotten behind the finish line without the game noticing, we can drive as far forward as we want without the game updating our lap completion as long as we dont cross through the line before hitting the final key checkpoint. With this is mind, I first drive far enough forward to enter CP 1, which would allow me to enter CP 21 while still following the 95% rule. After this, I turn around and use my final shroom to get a precise bounce around the finish line. While in the air, I adjust my angle so as to arc around CP 22, avoiding it entirely, and then enter CP 21. I then get respawned into CP 22, but since Ive already hit CP 21, the game doesnt update the lap completion, so it still considers me to be at the end of lap 2. At this point, the ultra was as simple as turning around, hitting the final key checkpoint, and finishing the lap.
This ultra is certainly only useful in flaps due to its long setup time and unfortunately small timesave over the current flap (around 3 seconds). If there was a way to do the initial supergrind shroomless without getting a forced ejection, then surely we could use 2 shrooms during the flap instead of 1. I also still need to do more testing with Spear, since it might still be possible to get out-of-bounds with it.
Special thanks goes out to Benny, Jaden, and cf for their speculation on the ultra potential for this track. It really helped me a lot when creating this run.

So remember when I said the previous run likely couldnt be improved and stated the reason why? Well, it turns out that all of the points I mentioned were improving points in this run. First was the issue of getting onto the ? Block shroomless with Spear. Cf initially found that it was possible to get onto the block shroomless with Bullet Bike, so he and I both decided to try getting the same jump with Spear. The problem is that when landing on the block, you also have to already be in checkpoint 37 (as shown in the video) for the lap to count. It was a challenge to even get onto the block, so having to go further to the right to hit checkpoint 37 just made it that much harder. Eventually, however, I managed to get onto the block with my own input. Of course, doing this allowed us to use three shrooms during the flap instead of only two, which constituted about six frames of the timesave. Next, we managed to improve the lap entry by simply entering the lap one frame later than the previous TAS. The only big issue with this is that it requires entering the checkpoint region on one frame and then immediately exiting the checkpoint region on the following frame. After enough brute forcing minor adjustments on the control stick, Ejay and I slowly got closer and closer to optimizing the flap entry until we ultimately got it perfect. This, as you might expect, saved an extra frame off the run. Finally, I found a way to improve the backwards hop and, by extension, enter the final key checkpoint for only one frame before entering the checkpoint directly after. All I had to do to accomplish this was to simply delay the use of the second shroom by a couple frames. Doing this allowed us to travel less distance before landing, meaning we travel an overall shorter distance. This saved about three frames over the previous flap.
Thanks to Ejay for editing this video. This video would be nowhere as professional without his help. Also, he added in the checkpoint IDs manually for this video. Major props for that. And of course, huge thanks goes to him for helping me in the creation of this flap. He really made things a lot easier.

Happy New Year everyone! 2023 has been an incredible year for Mario Kart Wii TASing, and to celebrate the coming of the new year, I decided to publicize four new flap BKTs! This video showcases the first two of these flaps, both on DS Yoshi Falls, and oh boy these are a treat. A lot has changed on Yoshi Falls since Mikul discovered the ultra shortcut back in April, and with the knowledge we now have, we can now push this track to its absolute limit.
Lets first discuss the Unrestricted Flap, this videos premiere run! This tracks ultra has two parts: the delayed lap count, and the ultra itself. The major development showcased in this run is a method that allows for the second part, the actual ultra, to be performed without utilizing a respawn. Doing this, however, is far easier said than done. The original method for the ultra uses only one shroom to do the ultra, and as a result, comes nowhere close to landing and in fact barely gets far enough for even the respawn method. A few months ago however, I discovered that using three mushrooms, one before the launch for increased external velocity and two more during the egg bounce to maintain speed and height, its just barely possible to land back on the track after performing the ultra. Already, this maneuver is incredibly precise and requires meticulous manipulation of our flight path to hit the egg in the right spot to get the right clip. However, the biggest challenge of this is actually HAVING three shrooms to use for the ultra.
Unlike most other ultras, the Yoshi Fall ultra shortcut REQUIRES a delayed lap count for timesave to be possible, and unfortunately for us, that means performing an absurd supergrind ejection into a wallclip off the egg in the middle of the falls. When Mikul first performed the ultra, he used not one, but TWO shrooms to pull this off, hence why he only used one shroom to perform the ultra itself. For my respawnless route to work though, I would need to pull off the delayed lap count without shrooming at all. Fortunately, by getting a better starting angle for the first supergrind and optimizing my external velocity building from it, it becomes just barely possible wheelie eject out of the supergrind and clip the egg in the right spot without falling into the out of bounds plane. By combining this discovery with the aforementioned three shroom respawnless second half, I was able to string the full route together!
The flap itself is pretty straight forward after landing from the ultra. With careful positioning, we land on the edge of the track and get a barrel roll that allows us to quickly rotate towards the finish line despite our shroom boost still being active. We then hop up onto the ledge and, with help from my good pal Kierio to hyperoptimize the final miniturbo, complete the lap in an incredibly nice time!
Now let me briefly explain the second run showcased here, the No Ultra flap. This run is moreso here for documentation purposes since, technically, its not the fastest run we currently know of. It has, however, been the de facto best-known time for the past couple of months or so since the strat that outdates it, which utilizes the shroomless delayed lap count that the UR flap uses (but with Spear), has not yet been optimized or finalized. For this reason, I felt that it would be a nice addition to this video. The flap itself uses a similar starting process to the unrestricted flap, setting up a supergrind to build up external velocity. However, instead of launching towards the egg immediately, I enter the lap and build up more external velocity before ejecting at the first waterfall. I carry this ludicrous amount of external velocity around the entire first turn using barrel roll wall bonks and then use the rest of it to perform Mikuls egg bounce shortcut with one shroom instead of two. I land with a barrel roll and then use the other two shrooms combined with a barrel roll on the ledge to boost all the way to the finish.
The other two flaps I have prepared for New Years will be released in a few days, so make sure to stay tuned for those!

Woah, I dont know what took me over there. Sorry about that! Lets try this again.
About nine months ago, I published the first ever Daytripper TAS BKT, a 20 second Unrestricted (UR) Flap TAS of Dry Dry Ruins which was, at the time, arguably the most elaborate flap TAS ever created for an official category. While this TAS would soon be accompanied by several more completely ridiculous flaps (such as the current DS Peach Gardens and Koopa Cape UR Flaps, both of which Id highly recommend checking out, theyre incredible), the 20.058 DDR UR Flap was, and still is, a brilliant example of our communitys ingenuity. Funnily enough though, by completely reinventing this tracks ultra altogether, I somehow made the category even more elaborate despite using a much simpler setup.
My original motivation to take another look at this track stemmed from the fact that, in the creation of the 20.058, I was unable to reach checkpoint 33 before being counted out-of-bounds using the Daytripper method. CP33 links to a respawn point which is only one checkpoint away from KCP4, so its preferable to hit it before respawning when possible. Sadly though, my efforts to find a method of reaching CP33 left me empty handed as there was no way I could find to get onto the OOB seam lining the outer perimeter of the track while in front of the finish line. However, I knew from previous testing that there was, in theory, a way to get on the OOB seam on the _inner_ perimeter by getting fake horizontal wall glitch off the slab after the lake. While analyzing this, I had a shocking realization.
Remember how I said that CP33 respawns you one checkpoint away from the last KCP? Well, CP31, the checkpoint that CP33 usually respawns you to, is linked to a respawn point that places you *_in_* the last KCP. This is massive because it means that, by respawning here, we dont have to turn around after respawning, we dont have to turn around after hitting the last KCP, and we can even get a ton of boost frames from the trick ramp. That said, it makes sense that nobody ever considered this since none of the previously known ultra methods even come remotely close to hitting CP31 before respawning. Conveniently, however, that slab I mentioned earlier is surprisingly close to CP31. To put it simply, every element was exactly where it needed to be for a potential new method to seem realistic, and sure enough, on the 17th of May, the slab clip method became a reality!
The setup for this run is initially very similar to the previous BKT. We start by entering a dayclip state, a tech discovered by xnik which allows the Daytripper to drive with one wheel in the floor, and then drive in that state all the way to the finish line. The key difference here is that in this TAS, we get into the dayclip state shroomless from the beginning, something which _had_ to be done this time since the slab clip method of the ultra requires all three shrooms to be saved for the flap.
Once we reach the finish line, the route heavily diverges from the previous flap. We use a variant of the delayed lap count strat, but this time, we just start the flap outright. Further, instead of hopping, we abuse the change in slope to clip the vehicle through the floor without a hop. This simultaneously gives us more height and more rotation than the hop method, allowing us to bounce off the wall to skip the lake entirely. Upon landing, we time a shroom input to drastically increase the pitch of the kart and ramp off of the sloped ground to wallclip onto the slab. We then quickly slide towards the wall, abuse FHWG to bypass it, precisely land on the seam, and use our final shroom to reach CP31 before being counted out of bounds. The rest of the run proceeds largely as youd expect, RFHA lowtrick, kart supergrind, boom.
