The Rainbow Road (RRd) video shows a method of tricking the game into thinking you have completed a lap but still putting you back where you jumped from. The specifics of it are not completely understood but it was discovered quite a while ago. Here is the first video: http://www.people.virginia.edu/~avw6s/MarioKart/mk64TimeAttack/UnusedStrats/malc-%20rain%20trick.avi mk64 has some weird issues with finish lines and they don't always behave as you would think they should as can be seen by the SC's on YV and FS, for example. If you want to see any time trials videos, you should be able to find or request them on mariokart64.com or, if you want, SDA hosts the highest quality (but not necessarily fastest) ones: http://speeddemosarchive.com/MarioKart64.html
Yeah, I'm QUITE active at SDA, but I didn't realize that the RAINBOW ROAD shortcut was the same as the one in SDA (is it the same, I'm not so sure now), using the second player probably threw me off. I know about the finish line glitches, often doing the EASY Frappe Snowland trick to surprise my friends when I lag behind. I've done the YV one pretty consistently (but not the hardest one). IIRC, Radix has rejected some of the recent console world records, because the quality of the video was sub-par.

OMG HAX!!!! Those videos are pretty awesome, who would have know bowser could launch you up above royal raceway!! It will be pretty difficult to figure out all the permutations w/two players, but I'm sure something awesome will be found. Can you explain in detail what happened in rainbow road? I got confused by the time splits, but I gather, this is the fastest method to get a record time (since the "Bowser catapult" is at the start of the checkered flag)? Great vids/images! Look forward to see a world record recording! :)

I just wanted to post to say how great of a job you guys are doing :). What do you esitmate your final time will be? This amazing hack will soon be complemented by an amazing run! Love all that you do! After you are done with this game, are you planning to improve the current SMW record by using that new left/right glitch that makes running faster? Or will you go and try to break Viper7's record for the full exit run (one of his main mistake was doing the yellow switch palace in the very beginning, when he didn't have a cape, wheras he could have done it on the second pass through Yoshi's Island (when he clears the Special Star World). Or will you just take a break? Once again, great job with one of the best hacks for a great game!

Bowser's level... I couldn't stop laughing and saying "oh my GOD". That was incredible.
Yep, Bowser's castle, and the Hazy Maze Cave triple wall jump followed by a long jump was a highlight :). (Although, I had a better reaction from watching LeCourer103's 70 star run, especially in Tick Tock Clock and Rainbow Ride, since that was done on a console). Great work, keep it up! :).

Just registered to comment on a wonderful job spezzafer is doing on his run. He's gotten so far in only a couple of days, and it's already looking excellent. It's fitting how the first emulated run that is being created is the first N64 game to be done. I'm utterly impressed, and am anxious to see the finished product. It will be awesome to see how you can optimize the MIPS glitch, compared with the console runners. How much do you think you'll break the record time by? Once again, thank you for endeavoring to take this product up. How many re-records have you done so far?
