Made that jump!
Possible improvements:
*On laps 2 & 3, hitting the wall at a sharper angle can save a frame (similar to lap 1). It seems very unlikely to be able to turn sharp enough and still hit the right spot, but maybe it can be done.")

10th* of 16 courses to get a new SC within 1 year! (actually 9th since this was found before BC, but close enough). Also much more optimized than the old TAS. Pretty good considering the length, but could always be better. .6x is possible, probably .5x or maybe even .4x.
Exact time = 84.8703

Possible time saves:
-Triple tap A before going out of bounds on laps 1 and 2. Saves 3 frames total (1 on lap 1, 2 on lap 2). This was not done here since triple tap mechanics were understood a few days after this was made, and to include this would require redoing the entire race. This was done on lap 3 since that only required redoing the last few seconds of the race (this is the main difference between the .97 and .87)
-Land on the wall faster on laps 2 and 3. Can save up to 4 frames (2 on each lap) if the bounce can be done as fast as in the single lap TAS. The approach is slightly different in 3lap so it is not confirmed that this can be saved, but it seems fairly likely. Unlike the triple tap changing the bounce to save these frames can be done without redoing the rest of the course, but since there are multiple other time saves that require redoing the whole course I havent bothered to try this at all.
-Drive slightly better on lap 1. From edge of ramp to end of lap, lap 2 saves 2 frames over lap 1. Although lap 1 is slightly different than lap 2 (you start from a different point on the ramp), that should not matter significantly. One frame is lost before the first turn after the ramp (possibly due to landing farther right) and one is lost due to a worse bounce (which leads to worse lines after it). There probably are also a few frames lost before the first SC since that was made while testing the bowl cut shroom, and I never redid that part after deciding to make the whole 3lap TAS.
Putting all these saves together is about 10 frames or 1/3 second. While that sounds like a lot (and it is) Im not motivated to redo this anytime soon unless there is a new SC here or every other course gets a completed TAS.
*11th if you count the better respawn on YV lap as a new SC")

Lost over .1 on initial tumble.
Beats Frieds 1.88 TAS with the old strat.
Have to drive first half lap nonSC to set this up (or just jump first wall after the fourth bump)
Will improve this before the end of 2020.")

Pretty sure this is the best you can do with this strategy. No, you cannot get 4.32 by waiting until after 2:08 (at least not with this strategy).

Made this in a few hours. Not very optimized, but shows potential strategy. This should be able to go under 15 seconds.
First ~5 seconds taken from Weathertons all cups TAS, rest by me.")

If you try this, be sure to save your ghost so it can be shared for proof.
Proof of concept TAS. Have to land exactly on the fence (x = -688) in order to clip through, so very precise.")

No sub 14, but theres much more time to save it doesnt really matter. Uploading since its a large improvement over the old TAS and I dont know when Ill feel like trying this again. I dont understand what makes you go fast here. Exact time = 14.0314
