I think it's funny that Nintendo is often so good at polishing their games, that a community will go nuts trying to find a glitch in a RACING game that makes you go SLOWER.
This is amazing work!! At this point there is no shortcut potential, but discoveries like these can open the door for future discoveries, so who knows. I'm excited for that and I really enjoyed this video Jopes! (also you guys invented the AC record category which is super cool)
I think the reason why the first few discoverers of the glitch were in multiplayer is because the opening would be wider due to multiplayer being in 30fps in comparison to solo plays being at 60fps so the origin has longer movements per frame
This is a really good point, I had thought about the fact that it might be easier in multiplayer, but I never connected that to the fact that a lot of the clips were in multiplayer.
@@Henrix1998 Games that are running at 30 fps are also usually running physics at 30 fps but they may use physics interpolation to hide it. e.g. Dark Souls 1 ran at 30fps

Since it got cut out of the final version of the video I'm now making a comment about DK Jungle, the AC on that track was patched in Wave 4 through changing the checkpoints in that area so you cant perform it on the current version of the game. However if you reset your switch and have a physical copy which has version 2.2.0 or lower you can go back to that version and still perform the glitch. I got 9 laps on DK Jungle this way without using any shrooms, the video for that is in the Discord (seriously go join it right now) and on my channel.
you're right, the chance of them patching it is very low. They could do a simple patch to fix the ones that we've found so far, but this wouldn't solve the underlying issue (which would take a LOT of work to fix). And also, this glitch doesn't really pose that much of a threat to the game as a whole, so I'd image they would just leave it be.
@@queeniesix nintendo does care a lot about bugs in their game even if no one would ever encounter them unless they are specifically looking for them so if they would still be doing updates then they would probably at least fix the ones that he discovered
Between infra shortcut and ultra longcut the latter feels more like it portrays this, infra shortcut sounds like a really bad shortcut, while ultra longcut sounds like the long way round Though ultra long feels best since cut implies the removal of something and ultra long is just, long
Nice video! Too bad the only flaw we found in the mk8's checkpoint system only serve to waste time, but I'm glad to finally understand what happened in this clip

As someone with the initials AC I’d like to thank you for adding yet another meaning to my collection of AC’s Among them of course being Armor Class, Assassins’s Creed, Animal Crossing, and Air Conditioning
But did you know abou Ace Combat, Assetto Corsa, Air Canada, the Anterior Cruciate in the Knee and the German City of Aachen which uses AC on it's license plates.
Man you're basically doing Mario kart history right now, discovering new important glitches and tricks. This is definitely a great day for the Mario kart community.
as soon as my friend found your video, he tried it himself and performed the first RR anti-cut in your video before I even had the chance to show him said video.
18:27 It’s probably lakitu’s 5 second failsafe glitching out, cause you’ve already hit the checkpoints leading up to it, but I don’t know exactly what happened
Great to see the video finally done. I really care about this topic since I’ve always been interested in how checkpoints work, I’ve been looking into how ACs all the way back since early 2023. It was awesome to help with the research alongside you and the others, and I’m glad it all came together so well.
It would be neat if the next MK had some kind of "practice mode" for time trials where you have infinite mushrooms. Maybe also a button that sets a custom respawn point and another button to instantly teleport back to it
as always you're one of the most dedicated youtubers I know of and as always you're criminally underrated. Keep the good stuff coming and I wish you a happy November!
nicely made video! Definitely underrated! This video is very well made :D Bonus compliment: beautiful song choice, vancouver velocity, other track OST, AND misplaced my keys?!?! That's like one of my favorite!

This channel has gone from what I thought was just a guy that was passionate about Mario Kart doing some challenges, to a guy full on breaking what I thought would never break. Awesome content.

I'd like to throw the word "done" as an alternative translation in. Personally I'd associated the word "beendet" more with the word "finished" But both are suitable translations for 'fertig' in this context
