I am not sure (as I have never seen anybody talking about it so far I think), but I believe BCWii background theme's main melody is the exact same as Maple Treeway, just much slower.

mindscarp, they're pretty close in some parts, but I don't think they are the same.  Probably coincidental.

There is a long succession of identical notes, I think it is not coincidental but on purpose. I made a small video with BC accelerated:

MT = BC music?

Until 0:13 it is the same thing. Even during 0:14-0:25, though the melody is different you can notice the same structure and the first notes correspond. Then after Maple Treeway repeats the first part twice. Did some research, I'm apparently not the only one thinking so:

If it is indeed a remix, then I just love how subtle it is, since pretty much nobody notices it and both songs are excellent imo.  Tongue

In 5 years and 4 months, the entire MKWii community, with millions of hours of combined playtime as a whole, has only managed to shave off just over a minute and 14 seconds on the total time trial times.  That's about a .038 second cut per day.

It's sort of like we just eliminated the time it takes to complete GCN Peach Beach in this game.

Here's an easy conclusion. Old SC's that didn't require you to ram into the last pixel of a pole, then pray you bounced high enough, weren't for cunts and needledicks. Clipping SC's are for cunts and needledicks.

Shortcuts/glitches do take skill, merely a different kind (not pure driving skill). However, I do think he was referring to nonSC times.

Only 3 names can be displayed at once on WiFi during a race.

Peach Beach not only has the dick looking rock, but if you notice at the left when you start on one of the signs, only the 2 P's on the Peach Gran Prix sign are different colors. PP. Penis rock.

If you go up the hill before cannon DKM, stop right before it and look up the slope, you can see the sun through the cannon.

iirc you can trick off the first ramp on BCWii to the right and you'll be stuck in some OOB area inbetween the Bowser head and the wall.

You actually travel faster by driving backwards through the thick snow on DKS than by driving forwards through it with FunkyFlame.
