I got a 3.73 for the first lap of GV1, doing it this way should save nearly 2 extra seconds. This also makes a strong case for using koopa as doing this with mario or bowser would be harder since you need to turn sharply and likely take longer, also you'll be accelerating from the start line and from the fall off, twice, on GV1 alone.

I couldn't get the second turn to work even with a double bounce off that wall, I hit the next wall 3 times.

I was trying to use the zipper long boost seen in that GV3 150cc 2p race on youtube. Here's what I've done on BC1. The second U-turn is hard I think I need to double bounce off the right wall.

I did some testing before and I think GV1 is the only track you could pull it off on the first lap. It wouldn't be as good as doing it after a normal lap but since normal laps on GV1 take so long it might be able to save a little bit.

Why is BC2 relevant? What's relevant is a lap done without falling off and a lap done with falling off before it; RR fits that bill, BC2 does not. It made the next lap take about 3 seconds longer and the fall off lap takes about 2.5 seconds.

I was looking at the RR lap times and it looks like when you fall off it makes the next lap about 3 seconds slower. The fall off laps on GV3 take about 2.5 seconds and the other laps about 6.5 seconds. So I think if you fell off twice on GV3 you could save a second. Same for GV1 but 2 seconds could be saved because the lap times are about 8.5 normal and 3.5 for the one you fell. Might want to use koopa on mushroom cup. I think he would be faster for GV because you'll have to accelerate from falling off and the two fall off laps could go faster with the tigher turns. Also MC2 I think would be faster since your in a long boost most the time and you have to accelerate from stop once. Koopa should be best for DP1 too. Mario would diffenitely be faster for MC1 and BC1 though. Bowser even better for BC1, maybe even MC1 too but a lot worse for the other three tracks. So it's a close call between these three, You'd have to test to be sure, but I doubt it's bowser.

Are you redoing to include the roll? Make sure the spirit route is done good as I think everyone expects that route to be at a least a minute faster. I decent job on the well should give us the idea of how much slower it is.

By sharper angle I mean something like the green path, the red path is more like what you did. Basically you'd have to take full advantage of the block wall, it'd be easier if it was a thicker wall. I assume the finish line ends some where in the wall so you don't actually have to go around the wall completely.

I was thinking for RR you shouldn't fall of on lap2 and have that be a full lap. Reason, you'll get to keep those two coins you would have lost for the second full lap. The way you did the last lap of VL2 was a good how you landed in the wall. This should be used on VL1 too of course. Do you think hitting the wall in some way, probably not the same as the last lap, could be good for lap 3 too so you dont' go so wide after landing? For the last lap, I wonder if you could use a little sharper angle and not have to go so wide too. Also, it looked you had to turn on the gas for a little bit to cross the line, I wonder if you could hit the wall and then instintly cross the line.

Wow, I wonder why I've never seen those feather shortcuts on GV3 and RR before. That was terrific.

For rerun he'll be mario on mushroom cup, then possibly switch to toad for the other cups.

I found that you can select toad faster than koopa; just press left once. Or if you must be koopa press left then up, faster than right three times. Also be sure to select special cup with up, not down three times. Same thing for 150cc selection.

I dont' consider the new metroid 2 run to 100% because it doesn't pick up every item on the map. Which ice beam were you thinking of skipping? The only way I see this saves time is by skipping the norfair icebeam and just getting the 2 missile packs and leaving that row. Well actually that's not true, you could probably skip the brinstar one and just do like 20 bomb boosts in a row to get up that collumn, I'm pretty damn sure that's possible. There's three downward door glitches I know about that havn't been used before. The one in Norfair to go from the top left column on the bottom left column, I think this is the one you were thinking about. Then there's another in Norfair. After the screw attack, go all the way down that column then you can to the row below. And the third is in brinstar, you can go from the ice beam column to the row with the lone missile pack, right next to the elevator. This one I don't see a use for for saving time unfortunately.

Basically you get two shrooms in one lap. This seems small enough to me, just use a res over 800. Also I can't change the font in paint so I didn't want to make it any smaller.

Anyone know why when I try to set 7E0D71 to C0 it always sets it to 0 instead? I want to be able to do mushroom boosts all the time. I get a desync in that wip after mushroom cup, any ideas as to why? I'll get a map of the GV idea soon.

90% through? Can we see the WIPs? For the rerun, I was thinking it might be a good idea to try picking up those items on GV after the main set of items to get another long boost in. You could do the second long boost right before the shortcut or do it against the blocks on the finish line.

Extra two energy tanks, what do you mean? All energy tanks must be picked up. I think both icebeams must be picked up, since they are both items on the map. Any chance you'll make another metroid run Zoizite?

I never said I was the first to find it. I think am I first to get a flap of 3.75" using this trick though, or first to put it to good use in actually saving time. If not I’m surprised the GP community is so far behind the times then.

Hey Zod, can get my name on the GP site for KB flap of 3.75 using one mushroom? It's in the wip. Or you should at least tell the GP comunity about this trick I found so they can lower the flap time.

The purple door doesn't either, It was when I realized this I understood why they made a purple door, because red and orange both wouldn't work. I just realized this but the blue door to the zeebeties doesn't switch it either, that's odd, this I don't understand.

This is nothing new to me; you simply can't make anything happen out of those tricks that will save time. I challenge you to prove me wrong though.
