Hi everyone first post here.

I found that you can do a low jump on the ramp in Mario Circuit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYkwxjban9M

While it was pure luck when i pulled that off , maybe it is something that can be done on a regular basis and on others ramps too. It is different from the early jump you can do by tricking early, this one goes very low and gains quite some time. I was able to catch up on the WR at this point. It really looks like a low jump in MKWii but I still have no clue how to do this consistently.

I've managed to get it fairly consistently by tricking as soon as I hit the ramp, but I've yet to complete a run with it yet.

You could also do it just because you enjoyed hopping for no reason.

My best s1 with this strat was 28.033 so far, but I usually fail the rest EDIT: got 27.966 with 5 coins, this strat is quite a bit faster

If you can keep the line right, it's slightly faster. I was able to get ~1 kart length ahead of Alexony's 1:57.6 ghost once. Ended up wide most other times though.

I already did this in my PR, I assumed the WR was doing it Tongue

I can't quite get through the offroad while enough of my SMT is left, but maybe someone better could.

Tried this several times, with different combos, but I could never get back to full speed before the mt runs out. Once you get slowed down, it takes a while to recover even when under a mini-turbo boost. With MK7 physics it would have likely worked.

Hm. Did you try both driving into the grass before using the SMT as well as using it before and jumping over the first bit of grass?

A couple times I hit the pipe while going through and it seemed to let me get speed up (although the pipe is is the grass)...

I don't have MK8 or a Wii U but I watch pretty much all the WR videos. I had a strat idea for the end of rRRd.

The last turn on segment 3 (around 1:06 in game timer on current WR) they hold the orange mt all the way through. Wouldn't it make sense to add an extra mt? Do a normal mt, then charge an orange one. You'll have plenty of time to do that (it's done on other turns earlier in the track and on similar length turns like on SSA).

Someone should try though.

Just curious, has anyone tested if drifting off the ramp (underwater) on rSL is actually faster than taking that little opening between the right of the ramp and the wall? I haven't tested and compared yet myself but I was just wondering if someone good at the track has found out.

Also, @NMeade, doesn't seem faster. I did it a couple times on dead runs just to try it and I didn't really gain anything. Riding the edge all the way is probably faster. Don't quote me on that though, I haven't tried it on serious runs that could PR. Too late in the run to risk things like that Tongue

Interesting.

Probably a dumb question, but do Wario/Morton/Bowser have different hit boxes on their actual bodies? Usually it wouldn't matter but in this case it would since you're in the air... I feel like Bowser would have a bigger hit box but I'm guessing he doesn't.
