Hello all.
I used to play Mario Kart a lot, and if I remember correctly, I once skipped a lap on Mario Circuit 2 by using a mushroom and landing in the grass to the left of the finish line, as shown:
I did try to do a little bit of research before posting, but none of the SMK sites I went to mentioned it. Also, though I am an utter n00b at this emulation stuff (I just downloaded SNES9x today), I did try to do this on my own. The best I could come up with was going
back a lap. Heh. Anyways, I'm pretty sure you can't simply hop into the grass, you must first cross to the right of the grass (past the finish line?) then curve back and land in the grass.
Of course, my memory could be playing tricks on me and I could be making this whole thing up.
Also, I remember finishing once and seeing Princess's time as ?'??"??, which I think would be fun to recreate on a TAS if you can spare a turtle shell or banana peel to trip her (or someone else) up and somehow get her to never cross the gap.
I am very much looking forward to seeing this run.
