Is it something to do with the hop or do they push down to get more height towards the end of the glide? The latter.

I'm having troubles with the first (shroom) SC at GCN Yoshi Circuit.

Mostly, I do a 'plouf' (in the water) or I get stuck in the grass after the SC.

The times I land on the road, I'm aligned too far to the left, meaning that I can't get the SMT at the first corner of the tunnel. I often get a blue MT or a crash into the barriers because of that.

I think it has to do with my alignment at the first corner and the successive shroomless shortcut; I hop quite often to the right (if I do it too much I even hit the bushes), but mostly I end up at the far left of the road.

Does someone have tips on how to do those both SCs successfully?

I haven't done that very much, but the shroom/off-road seem weird. Not sure exactly what your problem is, but shroominga bit later helped me.

If I shroom later, I will hit the grass and lose all my speed, so that isn't really an option I think. Anyway I've got for the first time luck with 3/3 solid SCs (they still look clumsy though) and got 01:43.612:

I tried BF on rRRd, the hitbox is really dumb.
MC it's faster I'm 100% sure.
Why triforce tyres when you can use Slim?

Jamie told me BF on RR is slower due to hitboxes and being unable to edge grind. I can't PR without it tho lol MC I couldn't tell you. BF on rRRd is also much slower.

If it's true than Tanooki Mario should be used on SL. Also this supports the fact that BF will always be faster on tracks with a lot of turns. ex (dYC, dDD)

I support this theory. For whatever reason, 2.0 accel gives me better results on MW than 1.5/1.75 accel. See Rosa/Circuit Special vs Heavy/Pipe Frame.
