Rainbow Road No Glitch in Mario Kart Wii has had quite the journey from its first records to what has ended up being the fastest humanly viable way to race the track at the highest level (for now). It remains the only No Glitch category that uses a kart instead of a bike, and even before that it had different bike switches early on. This is a nice hybrid of the WR analysis/reaction series on the channel and taking a closer look at how this WR looked chronologically over the years with a more semi-casual approach of simply discussing different aspects of history/strategy development/player history/etc in this format of video instead of a heavily scripted one. This was really fun to put together and reflect/analyze/react upon. I may not do this for every category in the game, but there are definitely a handful I want to do for this series in the future. For now, I hope you enjoy this trip down memory lane of how things developed to where they are today for the Rainbow Road No Glitch category.
