I can never seem to get the Lakitu water trick to work, but even without using it I can get times of less than 8 seconds on KB1.  
Also...
XRR:
lap 0:13.85 (On the first lap. With Toad. Seriously!)
5-lap 1:18.?? (don't remember exactly; probably 1:18.26 or 1:18.06 or something) (edit: it's 1:18.61)

DP3:
lap 0:08.?? (again, I don't remember)
5-lap 1:06.67

edit: I just broke the 0:50.00 barrier for 3-lap on BC1.

later edit: I might post more times later...

I've been playing MKSC rather than the other karts lately, I don't tree trick for the most part.  I'm beginning to love this little portable wonder, there are SO many tracks

My best on that track is 52,95 without using any Shroom  
Or 45,18 using Shroom, MT and Wall tick  
But i played that track for over a month

Hmm... there's not much to be learnt strat-wise in a course like MC1. Other than shrooming through the large field of sand before last turn, powersliding around last turn long enough to get a boost can be pretty benificial. Since the straight way following this turn is short, best thing to do is hold the boost that was gotten all the way past the first corner of the following lap, to release it on the long straight way. It's about the same strat that's used in SMK, but doing it in MKSC is a bit easier.

I think I was getting 10"3x 0-shroomers that way, and maybe 1-shroomers nearly 1 second faster, but I couldn't tell for sure, it's been a while. I know Sami had a high 48" time without tree-tricking, and probably Archibald too, so I still more likely was a little off their best 0-shroomers and 1-shroomers, either way. (I have 49"18)

Puctualization:
When i said my time "without shroom" i intended without use a single shroom like in the original SMK

About my strat:
-If you have seen my video you can see my strat (http://www.unbelsito.com): it's the obvious strat for a simple track like this.
only a note: i drop an MT jumping on the grass on start line turn, during my non shrooming lap (except the last one).

Another strat (?):
-I used Bowser and i can refine my record gaining 0.40/0.50 not more.
-WR is 1,42 Sec. faster than my time.
-WR holder used Toad.
-So i can think he used a different strat: maybe he can release a MT cutting the large field of sand during his non shrooming laps... but with Bowser is really hard to do and i dont think it saves much time.

I played a bit yesterday and got a 3"88 on Koopa Beach 1 flap. I think I can still take some time off coz I was a bit wide with the first shroom. This pr came really easy and I broke my old flap by maybe 4 seconds It feels weird that a flap takes so little time coz in MK64 the shortest non-sc flaps are around 30 seconds and the longest is in the 2 minute range.

Btw, I used Toad for this pr. Is he a good choice? I saw that Archi used Bowser for his pr's.

Some times with video (only 2/3 video rotating, so you have to wait for others).

In www.gamefaqs.com forum there is an updated chart of WR's.

at
http://www.planetnintendo.com/mariokart/mksc/movies.html

you can find same videos of neka site (one for each standard circuit) but it's required (free) registration to download them.

What i'm trying to find is a video of Mario Circuit 1 Extra Tracks under 45", because i'm very courious about used strategy.

Very nice
Here my Fast lap on Mario Circuit 1 Extra Traks (6.97)

I got this time after few attempt (30 minutes), but i played this circuit a lot for total time.

Improved
6.80, same link.
Anyone knows a good strat for fast lap?
It seems the WR here is 6,23 but i can gain 0,30 - not more - using my strat.

So it's useful to brake during tree ticking?
Wow, i'll try

MK:SC RaRo F-lap: 12" 38 (1st)  Peach

This is close to my expectations.
Since I won't be able to pass any reported times, I won't attempt to improve it for now.

Yes, I do it like that in the beginning, but I can't do the last pass, so I use a shroom to get to the next part. (i.e. I only really bounce twice from the first shroom activation, and use another shroom to go further.)

As for delaying MT's: I've never been good at it, but starting a short slide could help. Try not to slide for as long as you usually. I'm, sure you'll succeed better than me if you experiment.

Good Luck!
