It's because of the ridiculous herd mentality that 7 is just a worse 8 when in reality 7 is much closer to a portable Wii. 7 has the crazy physics and tight controls that 8 lacks and it makes for a game that is way more fun to play competitively.
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
As a programmer, I really have a difficult time understanding why Nintendo didn’t just do this from the very beginning. Track the checkpoints in a bit map or push completed checkpoint indices into a vector. It seems so easy I feel like I must be missing something, but I really don’t think I am.
@@RaycrowX costs money. and ds and wii were both launch titles so it makes sense theyd go with barebones simple checkpoints instead of checking for glitches and waiting 50 years for their game to be fully bug tested so no one can do the game the wrong way.

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".
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!
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.
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 (m.th-cam.com/video/ESFS7uCv7lU/w-d-xo.html). 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 (m.th-cam.com/video/bQT0drfWrfs/w-d-xo.html ) in 2022. Daisy Cruiser clip was in 2019, and also, before that clip was this (m.th-cam.com/video/W2DfxE53_UI/w-d-xo.html, 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 (m.th-cam.com/video/KfKW8_lb1Q0/w-d-xo.html), 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 (m.th-cam.com/video/OlkbczZJ1c0/w-d-xo.html), old Rainbow Road glitch (m.th-cam.com/video/26mvvWXFQDY/w-d-xo.html), 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.
@Wik (yes ik the comment got deleted somehow, but i'll reply anyway) you're probably right, i should have phrased it in that way, although i like to consider that I came up with the idea, and MKWilliam proved that it in fact did exist. I'll change the comment to something like that.
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
They also missed the flap only Mario circuit skip, as well as the mystery behind the random respawn that was a main inspiration, and the rainbow road glitches. Not to mention the track where you are on a railing for over 90% of the time.
I feel like Rainbow Road tracks are the most breackable tracks from the Mario Karts series. It feels like there's not a single entry where Rainbow Road isn't completely destroyed by some crazy mega shortcut
Oh I knew this game was pretty broken, but I didn't realize it was *this* broken, holy... Amazing video btw, thoroughly enjoyed it to the end. Excited to see what you're gonna make next :D
I think it is funny because he is saying that since mkwii has an ultra shortcut on koopa cape that the would be extra careful that, that wouldn’t happen again, but the koopa cape shortcut on mkwii was discovered almost a decade after mk7 came out
Thanks for this amazing documentation of MK7 shortcuts. I'm the idiot that found the first version of Daisy's Cruiser shortcut you posted in this video(the one with Toad). I know that the shortcut has since been replaced (like the clip with Honey Queen) but I appreciate you putting in the old version, too. I'll un-unlist the scuffed videos I posted as a kid in honor of MK7's history. Happy to take part in MK7's shortcut's revolution by pure chance o7
Good video but there are many inaccuracies. The Bowser castle 1 shortcut and dkjungle shortcut that you showed in the video were not discovered in 2012. Those were found much later. There are glitches on both of these tracks that were found in 2012 though they are just much more simple. For Bowser castle you hop over the wall where the new shortcut is and you get respawned right before the glider. For dkjungle you get a specific respawn in the temple section. Also you called the guy who used the bowser castle 1 shortcut hrt when his name is hgt lol
The out of bounds system in the game makes it where you can’t have any insane shortcuts it’s basically a pipe of out of bounds zones with a lot of other necessities for a lap to be completed
dkj had another glitch before this one, which was indeed probably discovered in 2012, but the one showcased here is a lot more recent, same as rkc also where is ws :d
I remember playing for hours trying to beat the world record on glitched Maka Wuhu. I never beat it, but I came close (somewhat) with a time of 1'08 or 1'07.
7:32 vietnam flashbacks to spending over 100 hours grinding that glitch till i got a sub 50, it feels like RNG whether you go through quickly or not, and you have to travel over the OB on the left to make sure the lap counts, which is tricky to pull off
Great video! Only thing I didn’t enjoy was the script effectively being copy pasted between the Maple Treeway and Koopa Cape sections. I thought I’d accidentally rewinded the video at first
I remember when I was younger for a short time when the glitch was FIRST discovered for Bowser Castle I had a top 5 time in the course using the glitch
The funny thing about that MK64 RR skip is that I remember doing that back in like ‘97. I remember my brother and I trying for who knows how long and I actually managed to overshoot it and go over the backside of the track.
ive heard similar stories and its always so fascinating to me how through pure accident so many people did the shortcut yet the developers themselves didnt accidentally do it (or maybe they did and they just didnt care that there was a shortcut that skipped half the track haha)
@@AntoG If anybody on the team did it, it would have been the play testers, but yeah, it's funny how so many people knew about it even though the internet was in its infancy. Like, how did we figure _anything_ out as kids? I was 10 when we got the game in April of '97 and didn't have internet access until years later.
thanks for making this, there is a disturbing lack of "highly produced/edited, high effort content" for many major games like MK7 btw, at 5:50 you said "HRT" when his name is "HGT".. too transpilled haha
This was a great video, I only have one criticism and that’s just that some parts felt a bit rushed. I don’t mean they weren’t well informed, it’s just that often I had to go back in the video because you either mentioned something important in an offhand way or showed an image on screen that disappeared far too quickly. Nevertheless I thoroughly enjoyed watching, I hope your channel goes far!
