This will be a list of all known shortcuts in TT or GP. I'll try to update the original post with a description and video links on how to do them.

So far shortcut classification is;

  • Abusing Lakitu to pick you up and move you further ahead in the course + out of bounds manipulation
  • Glitching through walls/barriers
  • Hopping over fences using shrooms where unintended


Tracks;

Toad Circuit
Daisy Hills
Cheep Cheep Lagoon
Shy Guy Bazaar
Wuhu Loop

Mario Circuit
Music Park
Rock Rock Mountain
Piranha Plant Slide
Wario Shipyard
Neo Bowser City
Wuhu Mountain Loop
1st SC.

1st and 2nd SC

Description:
When you get to that final glider section, you need to land on the right house with the zipper and blue zipper on it. This is where things get tricky. You need to land on the zipper but also lose your glider. You need to hop over the blue zipper. You do NOT want a glider, otherwise you will overshoot. You should land oob and get teleported to where you would land with the glider if you flew normally. It's about 1 second faster. Possibly more.
DK Jungle

Rosalina's Ice World
Bowser Castle
Rainbow Road

Retro Tracks;

N64 Luigi Raceway
GBA Bowser Castle 1

Or done better

Wii Mushroom Gorge
NDS Luigi Mansion
N64 Koopa Beach
SNES Mario Circuit 2
Wii Coconut Mall
DS Waluigi Pinball
N64 Kalimari Desert
DS DK Pass
GCN Daisy Cruiser
Wii Maple Treeway
Wii Koopa Cape

GCN Dino Dino Jungle
DS Airship Fortress
SNES Rainbow Road

I knew there had to be some form of SC on RIW at that corner.

RIW shouldn't be considered SC.

For one it doesn't even meet any of the 'classifications' you supplied, and it's pretty much in the same vein as the Wii's DKS, or DKM gorge/canyon jumps. Which aren't considered SC's.

Guys I tried the chasm cut on RIW and surprisingly it is barely any faster than normal driving. Not being able to do the red left mt after the SC eliminates most if not all the gain of the SC. Still haven't beaten my best splits w/o cut...

Upon further practice I can manage to pull off that red mt and get a small lead on my ghost.

Got a 40"260 lap 1 with clean driving.

A whiner from GameFAQs claims he's witnessed someone performing some glitch on MC that apparently made him finish the race when the whiner was on his 2nd lap. He's also getting feedback, so he's not the only one that saw something like that, anybody knows what are they talking about?

Went and found it, here's the link to save a bit of time, for when new messages come through.
http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/997822-mario-kart-7/61326890
Some person said that it happened on grand prix mode, i.e. the cpu's did it, lol.
Probably they just suck, and the people who beat them were actually good at the game and lapped them on any one of the corners using a shroom/glider.

there's no logic in that SC lol.

but then, there's no logic in like 90% of the glitch SCs.

it is indeed funny that the first 2 tracks with glitches are the wuhu ones. they're my least favorite ones so no big loss. now, if Bowser Castle got glitched, that would be tragic.

Believe me or not, I was SO SURE such a SC was possible on that track that I had several tries and didn't manage to get the respawn checkpoint.
I knew it was possible!! I FUCKING KNEW IT!!!!!
