Holy fudge , please tell me that its a game genie code  

Very cool discovery!
I may be missing a few details, but I think all you have to do is drive over an arrow while boosting or have a boost release shortly after driving over an arrow, then you can drive in "boost mode" for the entire race (as long as you don't jump/brake/press "A", let go of the gas, or hit any walls or pipes, but you can hit other players and still be in boost mode). Though, the infinite boost seems to be killed if you drive over a yellow jump bar immediately after driving over an arrow (like on MC2, GV2, GV3).

could someone post one of these on youtube please? these links dont seem to work for me  

Whoa.

First of all, does it make a difference which player you use, and secondly, is this of any advantage in time trials?  The only track that has arrows at all is MC2 and like Chris had stated, it seems to not work when you run over the jumpbars immediately after the arrows.

So it doesn't look like any WRs will be improved with this, but it's still amazing to know!

Ok, we were wrong  

I did tonight the bigger cut ever of a WR ( well i mean during  the reign of Karel   )

and with MARIO !!  

MC2 pal 12"85

my bro sent me a vid in which he used the tech of IB discovered by Polo and the tech on mc2 discovered by ElNico (nicolas hauffman) (thanks guys !! ) so i tried to do it and in the row do a LB !
firstly i did 13"43 and i said wow what the fuck its so fast, i continued and tried karel's tech in ntsc , and ive done 13"19 ! holy fu## a WR, i want to do a vid for my bro, but NO REPLAY   so I continued playing and finally done 12"85 with replay ^^

mario finally deserves his hero title as he pwns bowser and dK on one course lap
and now we know that we can go as fast as in Fzero

the vid : mc2 12"85 with Mario
(sorry my dad was in front of the screen during one second   )

Still, i hope this wr will be allowed  

btw this is my birthday  on 4th so .. would be a great present to keep the wr ....     haha i know i cant ask you that :p

finally got a pr  (still with mario)

but its only 13"20(video)

same strat than my bro but not very good

now i have a perfect successrate with the infinity boost , a quite good successrate with the LB (though i don't get always the best LB) , i can't perfect the second part of the track as i am not used to mario but it will come

learn with the videos



grr i should have pasted what i told to clark

ok so you have to make a miniboost while turning around the arrows ** , then release the gas[releasing gas period is in yellow] so that the miniboost works when you take the arrow. Then the infinity boost works and you drive reverse until you reach the big sand area. Then you can drive in the normal direction again by turning around the big area.
During the infinity boost , don't hit a wall or a pipe and don't  jump, also you only have to press left or right  (other buttons may kill the infinity boost)

Now you are ready to start a LB with the top speed of the infinity boost.
Press the gas again before the LB vanishes too much and makes you lose time.

Then the end is classic (twist seems to be the best option* ) but with mario so if you are not used to him , it will need a bit of training


* I haven't managed yet to jump over the walls with a second LB!!
** taking the jumpbar right after the arrow kill the infinity boost , so we drive reverse so that we dont hit the jumpbar , and make a bit of lap in reverse until the big sand area.

for the moment the strat works in PAL , i tried a little in ntsc but its not sure it can work in ntsc!

my apologies

Good thinking all of you.

Another strategy improvement on MC2.
Congrats on breaking the 13-second barrier on PAL.
If it works on NTSC I guess 11s are to be expected there.

I'm curious: Was the most recent Non-SC WR with a Non-heavyweight driver  one of Magnus Rydh's VL1 PRs?

How much lower do you think the MC2 lap can go?



Andreas

i think IB is slightly faster so that you can jump farther when you hit the arrows.

Yeah major congrats, Scoub you party animal!  

Very weird strat, but it looks wicked!  
Kinda not like the idea of being forced to drive in reverse to complete a lap, but on the other hand it's mega cool we can do WR's with other characters for a change
