lol i cant stand it any longer everyone is calling it mystery boost  and still dont know when it happens  
Some people told me to keep it for myself but its my trick so ill explain it now  
I know this trick for a very long time but its a little something I kept for myself  

ok u have to know the basic trick first:
U have to SSMT and HIT a wall at the same time.
this is done by getting an MT ready while driving towards a wall on your left or right (banshee boardwalk final straight is a very good example).
Now release the MT at the MOMENT you hit the wall.
and there is your "mystery boost"  8)
u gain .05 seconds with this boost, nice isnt it.

There are many courses u can do this trick on like bowser castle, banshee boardwalk but also kalimari desert and of course the famous Luigi Raceway  

to get things straight ill also describe how the boost is done in LR oneshroom:

shroom and get the corner tight staying close to the left wall. when the shroom almost wears off get like really close to the wall and release the MT at the moment you HIT the wall. the "mystery boost" is active no for a short time.
going through the GRASS with this boost gives u an even beter advantage than a normal mystery boost.
this one saves u at least 0.1 seconds. Ching ching  

On kali mari desert it works the same (the boost through the sand and fence on the left)

good luck folks.

Haha, very nice steven, much gratitude!
Guess I'll try that out right away!

Hope u don't mind me asking, but why does hitting the wall cause the effect for a prolonged or "extra" boost?

I noticed that on Rainbow Road when you hit the wall on your first SSMT off the start line you pulled away from a ghost who just got a normal SSMT. I'm guessing this is the same thing. The reason that this works is because the effect of hitting the wall straightens up your kart faster than if you hadn't hit it. And straight=good. In theory you could do this all around the RRd track, but way too risky to pull off. This is kinda the opposite to the LR thing because the back of your kart hits the wall instead of the front.

Huh, people didn't know this yet (the wall hitting SSMTs, not the LR boost)? I really thought the wall SSMT wall hitting thing on tracks like RRd and BC was common knowledge here.

A very long time ago, I noticed (by myself) that on BC and RRd if I hit the wall during a wide SSMT it doesn't make you lose time, opposed to what you'd expect. Then when I mentioned it to Steven, he confirmed that it even makes you gain time. I'm pretty sure I mentioned it a couple times to various other people when talking about strats. I didn't consider it too important though, since it only saves a tiny little bit of time, and it's hard to do well on purpose. I just considered it a nice small psychological advantage when doing SSMTs on those tracks, because you know you won't get punished if you go too wide.

The only thing I didn't know was that this thing is also the trick behind the LR-mystery-boost... I probably failed to make that link because you hit the wall here on the inside of the slide, while normally you hit a wall on the outside.

Btw, are you even sure that this is really the trick behind the "mystery boost"? I hit that wall at the end of the MT quite a  few times in the past. I noticed I didn't get slowed down much by the wall, but I never noticed I really got a significant boost. Have other people got it to work yet?

I'm sorry for my languege. But why did he not speak of this during the LR topic. I knew about the LR boost for awhile but why did it take him so long to reveal it himself? And all this other stuff on BB and what not, i've not seen one vid that uses it. Which means not many knew about it. Which means he sould have known about it by whatching vids and whatnot and he would have posted it along time ago.

You know whats really sad doe? Thats not even your material. Thats Gallo's material. It can also be done on SL Folks.

Anyone here think that a 1-1-1 strat with three mystery boost can be the fastest strat?


THIS IDEA WAS FIRST INVETED BY VINCENT VAN DER FLUIT!

Its not just Hab that got it without a boost, I was just using the vid as an example, plenty have got it without a boost, its just very rare, I think it may occur when you are really close to the wall and the game thinks you hit it or something.
I believe that a 1-1-1 strat is about equal to 0-1-2, if the boost is gotten 3 times, maybe slightly worse.

I'm really disapointed to learn that Steven kept that ace hidden in his sleeve . He then actually lied openly when he assured us that he had no secret strats. It would have been natural to mention this, i think.

I've been getting that boost fairly often without hitting the wall. It's still a "mystery", 'cause it seems totally unpredictable. I used to theorize that you needed to be close to the wall, but I'm not so sure any more. Seems I could get it even when I wasn't all that close.

I found how to do the boost consistently by repeating that shroom over and over and over again on the emulator.

It's too bad you waited so long to explain it, it would've saved me a lot of time.  And MJ would already have that world record.  It's a shame that you have the WR because of hoarding a strat, and not because of skill.

My 1-1-1 potential is faster than 1-2-0, but it's too close to say either way for me.

I wonder were that is at

1. Thats not the mystery boost you fucking ideot.

2. Then you are supporting are side. Proving that Zwartjes is only saying it because people are finding it out anyway.

3. That is not the boost because you don't gain time.

SO DUFF! SIT DOWN NOOB!

Duff, that is still completly different from what they are talking about. So think next time before EVEN THINKING OF CALLING POBRE A NOOB!

ohhhh....sorry duff. tought you dissed 4X4 pobre.
