You're driving all over the place! I've seen you use three different strats after the second booster. Stick to one, and stick to a good driving line. Best is L,(R),L,R,R,R as you did in your last lap. Make sure you're on the right side of the road after the first of the three R's and stay there.
In the big bend, you do five MTs, but you don't use them much. Press left directly after each MT and you can spread them out while sticking to the sand. I only do four MTs there.
As for f-lap, I think you're better off doing only one MT before the first shroom; I do that too. Also, the very last quick R you try to do only slows you down; let the L before that do its work.

Looks nice! Too bad the vid is a bit poor in quality and that there's no sound. I believe you're a bit sloppy with MT'ing over bumps, especially the bump between the beach part and the paved road after the last turn to the right. Either release your MT sooner, or wait till you're on the paved road, cause MT'ing over the bump makes you lose speed.
Furthermore, in your 2-shroomers, I'd say you shroom too late. You try to do another R before going onto the grass, but you can shroom sooner if you don't do that R.
Mario Circuit f-lap
I think your shrooming-strat is not optimal. You go wide around the corner to the right before the shrooming. Go over the grass, and shroom between the two trees, that's a more ideal line of driving.
Daisy Cruiser f-lap
Hm, difficult. I can't say you're doing anything wrong. I don't know if the MT before the shrooming past the pool was intentional, but it's not supposed to be. Simply come in sliding and shroom as early as possible.
I think, in general, that your MTs are a bit slow. If you can keep your MTs fast, while remaining consistent, I'm sure you can reach Hero times!
Thanks for your advices, I cut/paste your answer and try to apply them next time
For LC, I've already done a 0'3 faster time, but couldn't record it, only by improving a bit the last line after the 2nd jump. I could get EA easily now
I'm sorry for vids' poor quality without sound, but these are webcam recordings, and I must compress them or they would be impossible to download (originally 1 minute = ~200MB), and the sound is very weak, you could only hear the stick touching the pad when I do MTs and must put the volume to the max for that.
I own a DVD-Recorder, and my GameCube is plugged in it, but this fucked machine can only record in 50Hz
I messed up 2 DVDs trying to record my races in 60Hz.
