Hello everyone  

I just wanted to make a new hardest strats poll. Evan made one a long time ago when people saw the cannonboost of rWP as one of the hardest strats. So, I was bored and decided to make a new one with the current hardest strats. I'm curious what your opinion is. It's hard to decide if I must be honest.

Be sure to read the description before voting if you don't know some things.

Good luck deciding  

- Mario circuit pasta with clipping: It's the long wall after the castle. It's In use since a week. It's hard to stay on the wall and you need the right line to clip the pipe. I nominated this for the hardest strats in the game.
- Music park Perfect Noteboost section: Not a normal Noteboost. A perfect Noteboost section means that you boost the first note and that you get a very hard Noteboost at the end of the section. I mean, it counts since you get it so hard that you could sub 1'47"580. I did it only once I guess, but hit the freaking fence.
- Bowser castle 1 Lavacut after 1st pasta: Found by Thomas. You have to jump from the right side of the wall over the lava and you land at the boostpanel section.
- Neo bowser city Shroomless turncut: Found by Yacine a lot of months ago. Turncut is already hard with a shroom, then to think about it to do it shroomless.
- Rosalina's iceworld ultra shortcut: Probably one of the easiest who is in this poll. You need to clip the ice to make it count. It's luckbased.
- Mushroom gorge gap jump: Instead of taking the glider at the end, you land on the ground and use a shroom at the end shortcut. Evan has experience with it how hard it is.
- Mario circuit 2 90° Pasta: There are like 4 people who did in their PR. Yacine says it's very hard and that a bit of luck is also needed.
- Other: let us know

I just wanted to ask, what is the origin of strats that involve riding on walls being referred to as "pasta"? Obviously I'm not going to vote on this because I'm nowhere near qualified enough...

Edit: Wow, I didn't know about that rBC1 strat. Looks too OP to be allowed in NG if you ask me, even if it took Thomas hours to get...

Well the rBC1 lava cut was done only once, and by Thomas only...
So it is the hardest (fuck) thing in this game

Wait I thought the BC1 lava cut didn't count the lap?

rBC1 strat found by Thomas is on top now.

Especially if you want the right angle

Never heard about that

30 votes, thanks guys  

Gap jump is done 3x in a run now
Now we need to make the rBC1 strat

Why isn't "the entirety of DK Pass" one of the choices?

As far as I can tell, the title of the topic has "strat/thing" in it. DK Pass, as far as I can tell, falls under the category of a "thing."

I could also easily say RIW isn't hard if you know the right drivings, but virtually everybody I know hates that track.

For now though, I guess "other" would cover it, lol.
