I vote no. Too many levels doesn't look like a skilled driver, or tool-assisted driver, and they look boring. Some stages are well done, like the final ice level, but overall, this is dull and too little racing.

Wow, great Glitchfest. Never know so many tricks in this game. I have think in most Stages it desyncs. But it finally desync after you won the first Gold Trophy. So I try to download a new Version from the Emulator and watch the next parts and will vote then. In the moment I would vote Yes. But I saw only the first 4 Stages. Edit: New Emulator works. And yes voted.

I personally thought this run was awesome. I mean the game is just simply broken. I'd be amazed if this could be improved by much, though I'd probably enjoy it if someone could find a way. heh. Never knew what was gonna happen next...the first movie I've voted on in months. YES

Quite a significant improvement over the previous run. The stages seemed well planned, and executed. Most of the time, very entertaining, yes vote!

I enjoyed the run very much (2 weeks ago). I don't know how much it can be improved, but it doesn't look so sloppy for me. Voting yes.

Wow, this is a serious improvement. It shows some new strategies I have never seen before, like making entire laps without even turning around but just bouncing into a wall. And the highlights were definitely the first 2 Choco Island courses. Making 4! laps in one turn by just precisely bouncing into the double wall really made me go 0_0! Entertainment level is same good in both runs, but this one beats every course in a faster time and generally has a slightly better optimizatioin level, so I vote YES. Well done cstrakm.

Well, personally I saw stages where you were better than Huffers, and some stages were Huffers was better. I think if both of you worked on the project together, you could achieve a level of perfection never before seen for this game. Overall, the amount of improvement is significant enough for me to vote yes, but I think you should contact Huffers to work together on a v3.

Improvable, but better than the current run. Talk to Huffers about a join v3; that would be amazing. Yes, in the mean time.

Wow... There's no reason to vote no, and all reasons to vote yes, so I voted yes.

Relatively entertaining, and improved on the other movie. So, yes for this one. EDIT: Mr. Kelly R. Flewin reminded me about the luck manipulation. I was relatively disappointed with the use of pausing the game for manipulating, kind of took some entertainment from the run for me. There was also another instance, used less than pausing, but I cannot remember what that was >_>

"Why the hell is Peach humping the wall?! DAMNIT! The bloody thing desyn.... 8.74 SECONDS?! WHAT THE BLOODY HELL!" And insert more moments like that throughout. Definitely a Yes! I can not WAIT for this to be published. But as well, perhaps there could be an explanation of how those kind of moments happen? [Making the game overflow on certain calculations? Bouncing over the boundary enough to trick it?] And how likely are some of these to be done on a console.. or is it.. well insane luck required? Mr. Kelly R. Flewin

Currently, I'm playing Mario Kart Super Circuit & is nice to see that some bugs that you can do there, where since the SNES. Like the Choco Island 1 bug... I'm voting yes :D Edit: BTW, do you know if is possible to Lapskip Vanilla Lake 2 like in the gba? Would it be faster? http://wrvids.com/Mario%20Kart/MKSC/Hirano%20(emulator,%20maybe%20tas)/vl2-lapskip-2013-Hirano.mpg

Ha ha ha... Toad at the end of the Flower Cup. Amusing, too, is that there's no sanity check against entire laps being completed in 3 hundredths of a second. Madness. Yes vote.

I think the low points of the run were repeatedly bumping into the wall to get laps.

This run is very entertaining. Even the 8-second tracks went through the laps in a way I never expected. It's all about speed, glitch abuse (or is it lap-definition exploit?), and heavy luck-manipulation. Yes vote.

Mr. Kelly R. Flewin, people already use the wall glitches and all sorts of other glitches on console. When I watched the previous run, I said "wow this is really unoptimized but the lack of optimization is what makes this such a good watch." I figured the more this was optimized, the less I would enjoy it. I guess I'll see how wrong I am when I check out the nicovideo later.

It's probably a question of goals, not optimization, though. Optimization is always good.

I hadn't seen most of these tricks before, so I was absolutely impressed. For those of you saying 'meh, boring', my idea of TASes is to utterly break the game in half. This run does that in spades.

This is my favorite racing TAS so far. And I think it will continue to be until it becomes 20 runs-into-the-wall-by-the-finish-line-to-win tracks. Even though this is mostly glitching tracks, there is still variety within the glitching.
