This is what I call "Tip of the Iceberg #1", where something is universally ranked as #1 in a criteria by the general consensus but there are less known things which are actually beating it in that criteria.
I have the question of why they showed world record and tas runs for 64 and 2nd place (I am writing this after I watched the video and can't remember what it was.) They should have showed some of the tas runs for wii.
Mario kart ds does have unintended shortcuts that cut out large sections of the course. I think my favorite might be the one on rainbow road. Check out the time trials world record for it. It's really cool.
I had no idea that there existed shortcuts bigger than the Weathertenko. Certainly the most impressive shortcuts I've even seen in Mario Kart. I would get a real kick out someone being able to complete a lap in just 1 frame.
Actually, MK64 has multiple faster cuts than the Weathertenko, it’s just that the weathertenko is the one with the most popularity. Wario Stadium and Luigi Raceway have faster times than the Weathertenko in 3lap, and some more beat it in the flap category. There is also a TAS of Luigi Raceway that has a 0.01 second lap time, which is even less than a frame lol
@@brandonm1708 consider the fact also that the weathertenko is like 7 years old, while most of the bigger shortcuts in MK64 have been discovered by forest64 in the last year or so, they are pretty new, that's also why many people (outside the ones in the MK64 community) don't know about them...
Technically speaking the second Wuhu Island Loop shortcut (the one where you jump off before section 3) completes section 3 in one frame (but section two takes longer)
Mk wii's Mushroom Gorge glitch where you climb all the mountain at the beginning of the race and gives you a whole lap and the Volcano one are 4 me the best
except that as for mkwii the gameplay really downplays the records, pretty much every track has an ultra shortcut and some tracks are so fast that it should've been ranked higher lol
On Mushroom Gorge (3:00) you can position yourself while in air so that you don’t need the second and third mushroom, and on Wario’s Gold Mine (4:22) you can bounce on the pipe through the bridge.

As a hardcore MKWii fan, I was kind of pissed off to see MKWii in 4th place, not 3rd or 2nd-until I saw Super Circuit. I had NO idea Super Circuit was so broken!
Wii’s grumble volcano can be completed in 13 seconds with tas and less than 1.5 seconds for flap, just probably worth mentioning since sub 15 seconds is definitely something found in mkw.
I like how I literally replied to someone else and then I scroll down to see a comment by Campbell saying the same thing. BTW, this video is not that great. Poorly researched and offensive. Mario Kart DS has plenty of shortcuts, one being the big shortcut on RR.
1:38 This can be done shroomless 2:01 there's a better one from the top of the balcony that speedruns do shroomless that skips the whole lap (triggering the lap count then falling into the same out of bounds) 4:30 this can be done without a respawn, letting you do it 3 times
Just gonna say something that may spoil the end so read at your own risk Super Circuit was the LAST thing I'd ever expect to be the quickest lap! Only thing more surprising is that MKW is slightly above average in this list.
Super circuit has a ton of unintentional shortcuts. When you use a mushroom on a ramp you can get a lot of height and distance and skip large parts of many tracks. Also, for some reason there is a mechanic where if you mushroom boost and hop onto water then you "skip" on the water once. This lets you skip parts of tracks with water and it even lets you jump over walls. I wish more people knew about how incredibly broken super circuit is.
It’s interesting how stable half the Mario karts are and then you get to Wii and N64, with almost an Ultra Shortcut per course and then SNES and Gba just being ultra horseshit with their race checkpoints
At least you can understand it with SMK and MKSC because they're 2D games that fandangle themselves in weird and magical ways to play like 3D racetracks.
And yet they don't really show off anything mcss had to offer. Not only did they only cover one track, but it was such a suboptimal run as well. The current WR is 1.93 seconds, which is literally one frame off from frame perfect. They also completely ignored the many shortcuts in MK7 as well. The two Wuhu ones are only famous because they were the first discovered and we're patched, but there are so many others out there. The Wuhu loop glitch is only the 10th biggest shortcut in the game, and the biggest one by far is on Daisy Cruiser.
mario kart ds does have shortcuts, these include 2 sky garden ones, 3 rainbow road ones, 1 wario stadium one, 1 mario circuit one and 1 bowsers castle one
0:13 MKDS's biggest unintended shortcut is probably the Rainbow Road shortcut where you skip the spiral and the loop, although Mario Circuit and Wario Stadium also have one unintended shortcut each, and Rainbow Road also has a second "pipe shortcut".

Mario kart double dash has multiple shortcuts much faster than the one he presented. Including a better bowsers castle shortcut that results in a 4 second lap
There are much better skips than the one you presented for double dash. Mushroom bridge has a 4 second lap, so does bowsers castle. Mushroom city has a substantial shortcut as well.
I was gonna say the same thing. I thought of Summoning Salt's video on Double Dash's shortcuts when I saw the BC shortcut. I think a similar thing can be done on BC in time trials with an a-tech hop and a lak-hop, completing the race under a minute without actually driving most of the course. Although the Mushroom Bridge shortcut is also huge.
In Mario Kart DS, there are three Rainbow Road glitch shortcuts, one recently discovered in 2014 by MKDasher which transformed the track completely. Mario Circuit also got one that same year which is performed at the end of the lap. Wario Stadium has had a lakitu respawn shortcut for the past 14 years... and Sky Garden apparently doesn't exist according to the video. Then there's tons of other nifty jumps and cuts that anyone would consider 'shortcuts' in a Mario Kart game. Please do the right research next time.
8:15. "Princess, no! You're gonna get brain damage hitting the wall! Peach! PEACH NO! FINE, YOU WIN! JUST STOP! We need a leader, but not one with a concussion!"
you completely disregarded the Wario Stadium shortcut in MKDS, and didn’t mention any time trial shortcut in MKDD, and also disregarded that you can get .01 laps in MK64. MK64 also has many more large shortcuts/skips the average player isn’t aware of, and probably should have been mentioned.
@@Wings_Of_Nightfall No research was done for mkds... someone had a vague memory of a mushroom bridge shortcut from their childhood, slapped it on the vid, and said "good enough". yes, I understand that nintendo unity is "not a god at gaming and probably doesn't know these things" but if they decided to make a video on it, it should be properly researched. this is like a news channel reporting current covid numbers based on something they overheard from a friend while shopping 3 months ago.
Just to add there was two jump over the wall shortcuts on Wario Stadium in Mario 64. The 2nd one was a bit harder, but you could pull it off quite easily after some practice.
Very true, jump the first wall then turn around and jump in to the corner of the wall you first jumped where the finish line is and hit it perfectly for a 7-9 second lap. My favourite track out of all the mariokart games
man @6:21min at wariostadium u can jump over the wall like he did but u could also jump over the wall he looked at at the end...my lap record was like 3 or 6 seconds on wario stadium while doing turbo start as well.
0:20 Correction, if you watch mkdashers new rainbowroad wr there is quite a big skip early in the level even if its not an ultrashortcut, its definietly not an intended one either I dont think.
Funky kong on mario kart wii brings back to many memories, this was the game I wanted so bad and when I got it I played it for years and had done every one of the ultra shortcuts
Fun fact, the Mushroom Gorge glitch (at least in my experience) is made radically easier by using the Quacker and the Wii wheel. Higher turning radius with the Wii wheel and lightweight vehicles get more air, you can stick to that wall and move along it to complete Gorge in well under a minute with practice. The Grumble Volcano glitch is also made very easy with the Bit Bike. It's obviously not a practical vehicle competitively, but it has one of, if not the highes handling stat in the game. Normally handling doesn't matter at all, but since you don't really drift on that rock, that handling stat makes driving around that rock a cakewalk. Automatic drift is also sometimes used for that glitch as well, although it can make it a bit harder if you don't get it down to muscle memory.
The wii wheel does not have more turning, it just doesn’t have a diagonal input restriction like the other controllers. Also quacker is used there not for weight but because the higher handling and rounder hitbox make turning easier. Additionally, quacker is better than bit bike on gv glitch.
You could've shown a bit more of mario kart 7 than a few respawn shortcuts. Maple treeway if done on all 3 laps saves well above 20 seconds, the TAS on daisy cruiser also completely breaks the track
Then this means I still stand by what I say. Mario Kart DS is the best Mario Kart game and the fact that there are fewer unintended shortcuts actually proves how much more well-designed the game is.
The music at first brought back so many memories-the older brother beating my ass at this game, turning off my controller, me being happy at getting 11th place instead of 12th, me flexing with all my friends, and that one time my friend had her controller upside down and we thought it was broken. So many Memories from just a few notes.
The way some of these need mushrooms or such to perform make them very impractical to pull off in races for obvious reasons. But I do admit it would be entertaining to witness.
The mkw ones are banned online. However, there are other less overpowered but equally cool shortcuts that are allowed online. They can take a good bit of skill though.
That shortcut where you boosted off into the water on Wuhu Loop was the greatest thing ever during my childhood. I'm pretty sure I held the world record at some point, but I don't remember how the times were recorded then so maybe not.
Hello Nintendo unity,if you see this i want to tell you im a huge fan,and ive taken a liking to your form of content so much that ive made my own style videos like it.What im sayin' basically is that im a really big fan and have been VERY inspired by you
MKWii still remains my favorite game in the series by far due to the short cutting. Most of the cuts scale pretty decently in regard to difficulty vs time saved, so it rewards higher skilled players and ones that are willing to take risks. Sure theres games with more major shortcuts, but most of the ones in MKWii are at least accessible enough that its feasible to attempt them regularly when racing online.
you have to admit, the MKW ultra shortcuts look the coolest. you have driving around a parking lot, going around a rock, and a new one was just discovered where you jump from rainbow to rainbow. YOU CAN EVEN JUMP OVER LAKES IN THAT GAME
In double dash there are also insane glitches that you can do with chain chomps. lol I think it got discovered recently or multiple new glitches for double dash did

Oh the good old memories of MK64, as soon as I see this game, I‘m immediately feeling 16-17 years younger.. the nostalgia hits different
8:15. "Princess, no! You're gonna get brain damage hitting the wall! Peach! PEACH NO! FINE, YOU WIN! JUST STOP! We need a leader, but not one with a concussion!"
you completely disregarded the Wario Stadium shortcut in MKDS, and didn’t mention any time trial shortcut in MKDD, and also disregarded that you can get .01 laps in MK64. MK64 also has many more large shortcuts/skips the average player isn’t aware of, and probably should have been mentioned.
Dude, this guy isn't a god at gaming and he probably didn't know about the things you said. Chill out already.
@@BrodyMK64 It's alright, and sorry if my wording came off as a little harsh.
@@Wings_Of_Nightfall No research was done for mkds... someone had a vague memory of a mushroom bridge shortcut from their childhood, slapped it on the vid, and said "good enough". yes, I understand that nintendo unity is "not a god at gaming and probably doesn't know these things" but if they decided to make a video on it, it should be properly researched. this is like a news channel reporting current covid numbers based on something they overheard from a friend while shopping 3 months ago.
6:31 imagine you were playing mk 64 online and you saw someone do this:
Props to you for having the effort to do most of the shortcuts yourself, amazing video my dude
For anyone wondering, the intermission music used before the gameplay clips is the menu music from Mario Kart Wii.
MKWii: We have the craziest shortcuts ever!!!
MKSC: Hold my cheese.....
@@idiot8725 tru
@@idiot8725 Yep good point, it's just wow, I've never seen a shortcut quite like this though
Just to add there was two jump over the wall shortcuts on Wario Stadium in Mario 64. The 2nd one was a bit harder, but you could pull it off quite easily after some practice.
Very true, jump the first wall then turn around and jump in to the corner of the wall you first jumped where the finish line is and hit it perfectly for a 7-9 second lap. My favourite track out of all the mariokart games
man @6:21min at wariostadium u can jump over the wall like he did but u could also jump over the wall he looked at at the end...my lap record was like 3 or 6 seconds on wario stadium while doing turbo start as well.
THISSS
Mario kart 64 had so many glitch we discovered as child without even having internet its crazy xD
0:20 Correction, if you watch mkdashers new rainbowroad wr there is quite a big skip early in the level even if its not an ultrashortcut, its definietly not an intended one either I dont think.
2:45
Luigi went full Kimi Raikkonen there.
"Leave me alone, I know what I'm doing"
I thought the Ribbon Road shortcut would've been in here, but that Yoshi Desert shortcut was wild!
This was fun, I've played most of these and wasn't aware about these shortcuts.
Me who knows nothing about MarioKart and just plays it with friends: *interesting*
MKDS shortcut revolution is real
even before this video there were 4 shortcuts in mkds
rainbow road, mario circuit,sky garden and wario stadium
In the words of a man named Scott:
During the MKW portion of the video: "Look at Funky Kong, his elbows could open cans!"
I like the detail of the mkw music progressing through the different stages as the video goes on
I feel like mk7 deserves more respect for being on par with mk64 on the broken scale
That track has a world record under a minute, how on earth did mk7’s daisy cruiser slip through the cracks?!
dude made like no research at all, it looks like they only showed the shortcuts they were able to perform lol
@@Hugomk true like, mk7 has other glitches like maple treeway, or donkey kong's mountain etc
Fun fact, there is a shortcut in the latest Rainbow Road in Mario Kart 8. I forgot where it was but its near the end of the lap.
Funky kong on mario kart wii brings back to many memories, this was the game I wanted so bad and when I got it I played it for years and had done every one of the ultra shortcuts
You know what the slow dancer, Johnny said. The long path is the best shortcut.
These are all great, but the real best mk shortcut is the friends we made along the way.
I guess you can say that last one was the ultimate cheese strat...
I'll see myself out...
I know how crazy Super Circuit is but I didn't think it'd have the biggest shortcut and Cheese Land would be THAT course with that biggest shortcut.
6:33
The jump that seperated the men from the boys.
I didn't even unlock funky xd
Im yeah and im back super funky
Fun fact, the Mushroom Gorge glitch (at least in my experience) is made radically easier by using the Quacker and the Wii wheel. Higher turning radius with the Wii wheel and lightweight vehicles get more air, you can stick to that wall and move along it to complete Gorge in well under a minute with practice.
The Grumble Volcano glitch is also made very easy with the Bit Bike. It's obviously not a practical vehicle competitively, but it has one of, if not the highes handling stat in the game. Normally handling doesn't matter at all, but since you don't really drift on that rock, that handling stat makes driving around that rock a cakewalk. Automatic drift is also sometimes used for that glitch as well, although it can make it a bit harder if you don't get it down to muscle memory.
The wii wheel does not have more turning, it just doesn’t have a diagonal input restriction like the other controllers. Also quacker is used there not for weight but because the higher handling and rounder hitbox make turning easier. Additionally, quacker is better than bit bike on gv glitch.
0:53 these are actually 2 different tracks, Wuhu Loop and Maka Wuhu
You could've shown a bit more of mario kart 7 than a few respawn shortcuts. Maple treeway if done on all 3 laps saves well above 20 seconds, the TAS on daisy cruiser also completely breaks the track
Then this means I still stand by what I say. Mario Kart DS is the best Mario Kart game and the fact that there are fewer unintended shortcuts actually proves how much more well-designed the game is.
Yet there is still snaking. Probably the biggest oversight in the series
Player joins funky kong with a motorcycle
Cpu:
Oh, he's doing it again
The music at first brought back so many memories-the older brother beating my ass at this game, turning off my controller, me being happy at getting 11th place instead of 12th, me flexing with all my friends, and that one time my friend had her controller upside down and we thought it was broken. So many Memories from just a few notes.
These would be more fun to watch in races than time trials
The way some of these need mushrooms or such to perform make them very impractical to pull off in races for obvious reasons. But I do admit it would be entertaining to witness.
@@yveshku5583 I absolutely agree with what you described :)
The mkw ones are banned online. However, there are other less overpowered but equally cool shortcuts that are allowed online. They can take a good bit of skill though.
@@SLURPASAUR5237 Those would be fun to watch
@@FATE522 here's the basic ones: ua-cam.com/video/V_NCWBARBrk/v-deo.html
My first reaction when i saw super mario kart wa “how bad is super circuit?”
That shortcut where you boosted off into the water on Wuhu Loop was the greatest thing ever during my childhood.
I'm pretty sure I held the world record at some point, but I don't remember how the times were recorded then so maybe not.
Hello Nintendo unity,if you see this i want to tell you im a huge fan,and ive taken a liking to your form of content so much that ive made my own style videos like it.What im sayin' basically is that im a really big fan and have been VERY inspired by you
Remember that all this shortcuts a human found out and there are maybe even more
MKWii still remains my favorite game in the series by far due to the short cutting. Most of the cuts scale pretty decently in regard to difficulty vs time saved, so it rewards higher skilled players and ones that are willing to take risks.
Sure theres games with more major shortcuts, but most of the ones in MKWii are at least accessible enough that its feasible to attempt them regularly when racing online.
Cstrakm's TAS had two laps in 0.06 seconds. In choco island 1 at about 6:10 into his TAS.
0:49 This brings back so many memories I remember when everyone would do this shortcut in online races lol.
Did you get super confused when everyone starts falling in one spot?
The ultra shortcut in rainbow road mkwii was finally completed on 150 CC this year. Hype moment in gaming
I really didn’t think I would enjoy this video as much as I did!
Mario Kart DS has some pretty OP cuts in Sky Garden. And I remember Rainbow Road having some crazy ones as well
0:40 they weren't joking with the anti-gravity feature
This video made me realise how good and iconic the soundtrack is
The N64 Wario stage, you can jump over the wall again, right behind the finish line for a full lap.
you have to admit, the MKW ultra shortcuts look the coolest. you have driving around a parking lot, going around a rock, and a new one was just discovered where you jump from rainbow to rainbow. YOU CAN EVEN JUMP OVER LAKES IN THAT GAME
how bout peach gardens tas
As someone who’s first mario cart game is mario cart wii, I can confirm I use these shortcuts
If you told me Funky Kong was a secret member of the Freaky Monkey Five I wouldn't doubt you.
4:29 I like the funky Kong scream
In double dash there are also insane glitches that you can do with chain chomps. lol I think it got discovered recently or multiple new glitches for double dash did
I’m upset that no one talks about the mkdd scs when mkwii’s scs everyone knows about.
"Mario Kart DS doesn't have unintended shortcuts"
Loop Skip: "Am I nothing to you?"
One of the clips of MK7 was on Maka Wuhu, which is a different track from Wuhu Loop.
THAT LAST ONE WAS A LIFE CHANGER
-hyped up #1
-shows #1
-ends without elaboration
8:13 I think by this glitch the rubber banding of the CPUs is really well shown
