The Mario Kart 7 Shortcut Revolution

what should I make next? 👀

It's highly unlikely, but I hope that MK8 has a shortcut revolution one day. I want those 4K HD glitches.

I really hope more people begin to realize how broken this game is. Definitely underrated in the speedrunning community

Flashbacks to 2011 when I played Mario Kart 7 online and wondered why the hell everyone was purposely yeeting themselves off the edge on Maka Wuhu lmao

This and Wii are definitely the reason why MK8 has such strict shortcuts lmao. Every checkpoint is a key checkpoint.

Damn, if only this video existed 10 years ago so I could shock and impress all my 3DS friends

People are gonna find a way to skip all of mount wario somehow 💀

At least the stairs in luigi's mansion don't crash the game this time around. For those unaware, in the DS release doing a burnout on those stairs will freeze your DS completely. Requiring a full system reboot to "fix".

Long post warning: Hi, I’m the one who came up with the idea for the Rainbow Road SC. The video was pretty good. I just want to point out a couple of errors in this video. HRT is HGT (in fact, your screenshots showed that 🙃). A TAS was made by him in 2020 demonstrating the DK Jungle Glider glitch; the one in 2012 was a respawn glitch by jumping off the left of the first turn in the temple. Also, you missed a glitch found very early in the game’s history: a wall clip discovered in Shy Guy bazaar on the turn after the bazaar (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ESFS7uCv7lU). However, I believe the clip would not respawn you in a way saving time until 2017, when it was implemented into a run by Jacob. The current glitch was found by 8w (and idea by Ray) and used in this run (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bQT0drfWrfs ) in 2022. Daisy Cruiser clip was in 2019, and also, before that clip was this (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=W2DfxE53_UI, and supposedly the strat was found in 2012, due to some of the comments of that video). That respawn on DS Airship Fortress was found in 2019 by Ryan and CF. The TAS glitch was found in 2021 by MKWilliam (this bit is less of a mistake on your end, just something you maybe should’ve mentioned). Also a possible thing you could’ve mentioned it that it’s less about the height you get from the pipe bounce in Wario Shipyard, but it’s more due to mk7s water physics making it that you can retain your speed while moving in low gravity; height is important, physics more so. Koopa Cape glitch for Wii (2021)was discovered after the Koopa Cape mk7 clip(2019), and in fact, koopa Cape mk7 had a respawn before that (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KfKW8_lb1Q0), so Nintendo couldn’t possibly focus on bug hunting if no bug was known. Similar but different thing for the Maple Treeway glider glitch: the mkwii glitch was found after mk7s release. GBA BC1 jump glitch was found in 2018 by CF, while the respawn was found right after the game’s launch. Also, since you mentioned the TAS-only DS Airship glitch, you should also mention the coconut mall glitch (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OlkbczZJ1c0), old Rainbow Road glitch (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=26mvvWXFQDY), and the Mario Circuit glitch, although if that didn’t exist during editing I understand. I really do like your checkpoint system explanation, however. The checkpoint system of this game has always baffled me and now it makes a lot more sense. I do appreciate this video, and thanks for actually covering this fun little overlooked game

once you polish up a few minor things and the mainstream audience finds you your channels gonna pop off bro you don’t miss with these

Anto, it is with a heavy heart that I must inform you that this video was amazing.

The maple treeway and koopa cave joke got me in tears lmfaoo Underrated vid

14:03 "in 20 eighttttiiiiiiiiin came around" ☠️

10:55 felt like a loop lol

I'm not sure if world records were actually world records. But I remember as an 11 year old having the world record on maka Wuhu. I felt so accomplished about it. Almost positive world records weren't world records but rather you were put in brackets of other people

3:18 I swear to God, for a split second, I had to think about whether or not I tried setting any records in MK7 as a child, but I know for a fact that I never had any idea of the shortcut meta so I can't have set the second record. I mean, I was never a particular pro at the game, but I played it a lot back in the day, I loved Wuhu Loop to death, my Mii had that exact name and my memory about that time is kinda hazy, so for a short moment I was convinced that that was me.

Nice video! One thing you didn't mention was that bowser castle 1, dk jungle, shy guy bazaar and koopa cape had respawn shortcuts that became obsolete once the new ones were discovered. It has been fun watching this game become more broken as the years have progressed, nice job!

i literally started to play mk7 2 weeks ago and now a video from anto for the shortcuts?? damnnnn i love it

For what it's worth, making a tool-assisted run of a game does NOT differ from game to game on the same console. You slow the game down, use save states to retry sections until they're how you want them (usually until they're as good as you can make them) and then continue.

"Hrt," lol. Good video. YAKCINE LIVES ON! You also forgot the Waluigi Pinball shortcut. It's only possible online with drafts, though.
