Turn your head so the right side of the map is the bottom. It kind of looks like the symbol for pi.

But why cherry?

Interesting... to me though, that 'da-daa da-daaaaaa' jingle at the start of the music fitted in really well with flying out of the factory into the air, it just makes sense. So maybe was a happy accident that they left in?

The music can also be disabled legitimately when exiting the factory by hitting the fence on the side of the ramp and bouncing back in.

Actually, I'd take that as an indication that the music change was intentional. That extended intro isn't played at all at the start of the race or any other time, so what else would it be for?

The Moo Moo Meadows expert staff ghost is the only one that uses automatic drift.  Even the creators hate auto

Well, I've been playing this game for 5 years and 4,000+ hours, and watched thousands of MKWii vids on YT, but never even knew about this video.

Also, what do you mean by he botted them?

Actually, Jorge's Rainbow Road WR's are still listed on Cole's site (in other words, are considered legit even though Jorge himself was later caught cheating). I believe it was one of the last records set before the "TAS" codes became widely available.

I've noticed a general pattern with low tricking on slow ramps.  That if you are drifting left into the trick, it is fastest to do a right trick, and vice versa. I think the explanation I was satisfied with why this is, is because when you are drifting left, the bike is getting tilted that way. A right trick +a left angle would be to force the nose of the bike downwards, so basically, the nose hits the ground much sooner, reducing airtime. One might argue that if you do a left trick instead, the back of the bike would also get shoved to the ground, and would equally reduce airtime. That might be true, but for some reason in my tests, the opposite direction trick was still generally faster, so there must be a reason. A great example is the MMM blue ramp, the way the TAS does it.

On DKSC, if you use moonjump at the start and look to the left, there are 2 mountains which look like boobs.

On wifi there is a glitch that whenever you face someone who's using a Mii character, there's a veeerrrryyyyy smal chance that you won't hear the Mii's voice or any sounds that he would make when doing tricks and stuff. The only sound you'll hear from the Mii is Rosalina's "Yeah" cry when the Mii is preforming a trick.

What I find weird is that I haven't encounterd that glitch since late 2009... :? :?
