That leaderboard was copy/pasted from the archive link. I didn't create it myself. Just thought it'd be helpful to have more people to look at.
@Diamond, I added in GV Non-SC to the best of my knowledge. Another complication here is what the last WR was before the SC was discovered. I'm pretty sure ちゅうたろう☆メポ~'s 1'55"016 did, since it was a 3 second jump, but GV is a pretty inconsistent track so who knows.
EDIT:
1'55"016 was definitely the first one with SC. Apparently it was only done on the last lap at first though lol.

1'58"173 G-danzee 4/30/2008 Italy
1'57"905 Adrien Edet 5/11/2008 France
These times are on the Player's Page Non-SC chart, and would be the only ones that would fit into our current progression. However, there's no guarantee that either of these didn't use the shortcut
Okay so it looks like what happened is this:
4/24/08: 1'58"685 by ちゅうたろう☆メポ~
4/30/08: Last lap jump into lava respawn is discovered and used in last lap of 1'55"016
5/1/08: Ridley discovers the rock hop, meaning the shortcut can be used on laps 1 and 2 now without fear of losing your shrooms.
*Fun Fact: Ridley ALSO discovered the larger GV cut on 2008-06-01 AND the MC cut in 2011 lol
I also updated the pre-sc times to be included on the Non-SC list now
AND finally: Here's a clip of the first lap of one of Nivek's WRs, likely his 1'53"517
