Sure you won't get a big jump for the first time in a few tries, it requires some time to be able to do it.


"I mean technically the best run would probably have 3/3 big jumps and use the gliderless gorge cut each lap but ain't nobody got time for that"

Sure, that would be an insane time, certainly 1:32
Who knows, maybe i'll be motivated for it one day?

NBC gap jump walkthrough?

Thanks Frederiek.  I managed to get across twice, but fell off on the other side both times  

I don't know...maybe, but this track is so precise that the alignment after the SSMT might be a problem.

I don't think it's faster anyway...

3 2 1...

Beginning
Hop a few times, then drift to the left. Release your red miniturbo right as you touch the water (this is faster than doing so earlier/later). Trick on the ramp and hold up on your slidepad. Hold r and when you land go right.

Ramps
Try tricking as late as you can and hold up on slidepad after tricking (waterboost). It's possible to get 2 coins on each ramp, but it isn't necessary to get a good time. If you fail your waterboost try pressing up then down and up again (this is still pretty fast, but always aim for a waterboost, as they are easy on l2 and 3 anyways)

Tunnel to ship
Land your last waterboost far to the right. If done well you can hug the wall, but make sure not to hit the bones (you hold right when you pass bone 1, then hold neutral until you're almost at the middle. Then go in right very sharp And when you pass the last bone, release your mt and hold right. This way you stay close to the wall and keep a nice line. On your right you see a pipe. Before getting close, hop (you'll float).
After landing drift left and when you reach the next pipe, hop out of your MT. You'll now be floating again, so don't do anything except aiming for the down left part of the big pipe (fastfall down towards it). Let it push you up. Then fastfall into the sand. When you hit the sand. Wait a bit and you'll be sent up. Now shroom. You'll land in the middle of the mud so hold r and drift left when landing. Do not hug the fence untill the very end

Ship to end
Drive on the boostpads. Then hop to start your drift right as you hit the edge of the water exit (again, this is faster). Now hold right untill the middle of the turn. Release mt and do a quick neutral to left on slidepad. Get a hightrick so you get a waterboost.
Tip for crab movement: swing up down up during waterboost. So you can see where they are at while still having room to anticipate.
Go left on the glider and do not trick. Aim for the coin on the mast. When you hit it hold down so you go higher. Now collect the first and most left coin on the platform (land in it, but gliderbounce and hold upright so you fastfall of the platform and get a sharp angle. Now prepare your line for the ramp. Release your red mt before it, hold down, trick. For laps 1 and 2 jump over the wall, lap 3 you can try landing onto it but maybe you shouldn't risk it.


Lap 2/3 differences:
Glider:
Now go right on the glider. When exiting hold down for like a second so you land just after the water

Goodluck!

I wasn't familiar with the term water boost, but it's just when I push the slidepad up when diving, no? Or is there more that I need to do?

Did like 52" with that (yes I was bored)

First shroom is at the glider section.

Just wondering, what is needed to get the water boost? Angle when entering water? Time spent fast-falling?

I already had found about it quite some time ago in CCL and got it by holding down between the ramp and the water.
However I remember TTing in WS and I could get the water boost at first and second jumps most of the time by doing a high trick, but I rarely got it when I did a low trick.
Also, at the water section before the glider I got the water boost in a weird way: I didn't jump enough to get directly into the water, but, right before I enter it, I hop and hold up, then I get the boost.

Glider bounce and glider boost on rKTB explained by FinalFight:

Glider bounce:
bounce at the beginning of the downhill portion of the cave, hold down on your control pad right as you bounce and then hold left to start your drift upon landing

Glider boost:
for rock glider boost don't trick on the glider pad. Start going down  over the tip of the rock as soon as you hear your glider pop out of the kart
this is the only way I can figure out when to go for the glider boost, I think Marv's way is different
but it works for me and it works pretty well
when you go over the rock btw, start fast falling asap because it gives you a strong boost
in my old prs i wasn't doing it because iwas scared of losing glider, but you have nothing to be afraid of
rock boost is much harder than the bounce because there's a strict timing for when you have to go down
sometimes you will feel like you did it right and it didn't work D:
