Rainbow Road cheat

I accidentally found a little cheat earlier! I don't know if this has been found before, but...
Use a zipper to boost onto the side (the jump pads lining the side).
Instead of coming down on the track, land on the side again. You'll bounce, retaining your speed!
Again, this may have been found before, but I haven't seen vids of this course, so... yeah. Wink

Yea

Judging by some people's Rainbow Road times they should utilize this more.  Using shrooms into those side bumpers is just like hitting them off the zipper.

Karters cannot create anything out of nothingness. Karters cannot accomplish anything without holding onto something. After all, karters pretend to be gods.

Yes, this is no secret. It's really the first thing you learn. Most of the players do this, but I think some might not be utilising a fast enough 1-shroom approach to net faster times.

OK thanks. I'm a noob, so I wouldn't know. I haven't even unlocked Special Cup for TT yet! I just got lucky on quick run. Oh well.

Every time I see that video my jaw drops.  Wow.  I wonder who the first person to discover all the jumps was.

That's...amazing. The discoverer of the jumps probably fluke landed it (Like me!).

The history of RR is here (japanese text only):
http://gikowarda.hp.infoseek.co.jp/mariokart/rainbow.html

The main strat was discovered by KAT in September 2001.
In June 2002, Hirano has discovered the 3 dash cutting (in the middle of the track).

Wow, wasn't the game released in September 2001?!  So folks realized the potential for these huge hops basically right away.

Thanks for the information Termo.

Wow. I suck, so my strat is to hop onto the little strip with the row of boosts, then jump across the gap. Thats it. It works for me!

The strat was discovered in the month the game was released? Woah!
