Two techs I noticed. Not easily replicated.

1. Mystery Boosts appear to be back. Travel in a straight line over certain exact portions of the track and you inexplicably speed up a tiny bit. Happened to me racing my ghost on N64 LR a few times in different places where I would gain / lose about a kart length on my ghost, with both ghosts driving in a straight line (joystick untouched in neutral position) with the A button held down and not drifting.

2. Ticking it seems has made a return. On several different tracks I have performed mts and shrooms and deflected slightly off of walls and gained significantly on ghosts that take a tighter turn but don't get that deflection.

It is a shame that such, extremely hard to duplicate and master, techniques appear to be in this game. But these were my observations.

Is this similar to the mystery boost you talked about on MKW Wario's Gold Mine?

Well, that's the only time I've seen him mention "mystery boosts," so I'd guess that's what he meant. The actual cause is probably something to do with the physics and the slope of the ground. (It happened at a big dip on Wario's Gold Mine and I know that Luigi Raceway has some slight inclines, so it seems like a reasonable surmise to make.)

Double bounce - Sometimes when you trick and angle downward in the air, when you land you get 2 quick bounces on the ground instead of just a regular landing. The two quick bounces seems to give you a slightly better boost forward and cuts time. Also happened to me a few times with glider landings.

MVT Ex Member	Re: Game Techniques Reply #10 - 12/07/11 at 10:20:34 Well what I was talking about there isn't a double trick it is a double bounce. But I'm sure double trick is faster as well.

I’m TTing LR and I just had this, right after the startboost… what is this retardation?

Might be wrong, just what I think

that would mean my circle pad doesn’t go into neutral position 99% of the time

I just said that I got it right after the startboost, I give a slight touch to the left while in the boost then stay neutral until the trick

I tried making a video of the mystery boost but with the retarded replay view it’s impossible to notice

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAXA3mC5lhs

anyway, I think it happens when you press left with a specific timing almost at the end of the startboost… or maybe that’s just a coincidence of driving over a specific part of the track like MVT says

To me it seems that you get a “Mystery Boost” after every start boost/mushroom/zipper/trick boost/MT as long as you don't do anything (no steering, hop+drift…) and if you're at full speed. It's quite similar to MKW wheelies, except you can't get the Mystery Boost back just by travelling in a straight ligne, you need a boost again.

i got the first one on LR today as well i was just beating my ghost to first turn with the same start
i have the 2nd one on my former RRM BKT it saved about 0.1

so you’re saying I’d get the mystery boost if I just went straight ahead after the startboost on LR? wrong

I got it twice, and both times I tapped left at the very end of the boost
