This run is outdated and has since been beaten. The current BKT can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHGzGXbRlRc
This is a tool-assisted speedrun. This time will not count on any real-time rankings. Done on Dolphin 5.0 with savestates, slowdown, frame advance, TAS code, Lua scripts (input writer/reader), and RAM watch (created by Swarejonge).

After Ejay uploaded the previous run, he sent me the ghost file and I got to work optimizing everything after the respawn. I also tried getting a better clip for the glitch, but I wasnt able to fall OOB any faster than Ejays ghost, so I just left it as is. Overall, this run is just the previous one with a more optimized ending.
Also, thanks to Ejay for letting me know a few tips with recording quality. Really appreciated, man :D

What, were you expecting an April Fools joke or something?

Over the past few years, it has become somewhat of a tradition for MKW TASers to create fake ultra shortcut reveal videos for April Fools Day. However, in all that time, there has never actually been a real ultra revealed on April 1st. Today, Im finally changing that. This is Mario Kart Wiis 24th ultra shortcut.
Before I get started, I want to apologize for not revealing this earlier. I discovered the ultra back in late January (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pX9UX0v7s4g) but chose not to reveal it until now since theres a very real (but not certain) possibility that this is the final ultra shortcut were ever going to find in this game, and having the opportunity to reveal an actual ultra on April Fools Day was too good to pass up. If you dont believe me that this is real, check mkwtas.com. Unless youre watching this within the first few minutes of its upload, this run is going to be on there (and its not going to go away).
Now that were through with that, whats going on here? How does this ultra actually work, and how did it take us this long to discover? Im glad you asked! Lets get into it!
This ultra is fundamentally similar to the Dry Dry Ruins ultra shortcut. We start by performing a supergrind off of a declining portion of the offroad and use the supergrind and a grounded shroom to build momentum (or more formally known as external velocity), in this case in the -X direction. Where this ultra largely differs from DDRs ultra is in its second half. Unlike DDR where we eject off of a pillar into a wallclip, we have no good option here other than to eject from the supergrind directly into a wallclip that maintains as much of our external velocity as possible. Using the two remaining shrooms to keep our speed high while airborne, we travel far enough to land on the halfpipe while in checkpoint 0 so that driving the rest of the lap will result in a lap count.
As for why this took so long to discover, Ive included a pastebin that goes more in-depth on this ultras nightmarish nature. If you have a question about the more intricate parts of the ultra, please read this first before asking: https://pastebin.com/fmjXJgWN
This TAS, as far as an Unrestricted Flap BKT is concerned, is a super solid run. The main improvements to the run are to get a better ending geyser cycle and to use Baby Daisy instead of Toadette. However, both of those things would require me to redo the glitch entirely, and I didnt feel that was super necessary for this reveal. This flap, thanks to both the ultra shortcut and left side shroomless spiral skip being stupidly hard to do, much less optimize, is one of the most daunting categories to TAS in the game now. However, at the very least, the two strats combined will almost certainly allow this ultra to be faster for 3lap by a little bit (especially if Baby Daisy can do it).
I wanna give a special thanks to Kierio04 for joining me on this journey of discovery and for agreeing to plan the TAS Competition around revealing the ultra. You really helped me get through this, man! Much love!
