    Thanks to the Mario Kart Wii community for having an incredible scene. Absolutely could not have done it without them. The following people should be particularly credited for helping greatly with research:
    Blaze: th-cam.com/channels/QNKPAUvVZvvtpEJBrMsqXg.html
    Braixen: www.twitch.tv/bbraixen
    cf: th-cam.com/users/Caatfish1

    Jellopuff: th-cam.com/channels/UjE8oTqClAchc9Ojkkx4LQ.html
    Malleo: th-cam.com/users/malleo
    Additionally, I had a small group of people help me with my first Mario Kart Wii video a couple years ago. The following two people helped me immensely:
    MrBean35000vr: www.twitch.tv/mrbean35000vr
    SwordofSeals
    I’ve loved covering the community in the two videos I’ve made so far, and hope to make more down the road as these players break the game even more!

      By using a TAS-only strategy called "Rapid Fire Chewing", we can theoretically bring the record down to sub-3 min. However, as of February 2021, this is not humanly possible.

    Well, I arrived at this late but I am the Jaden mentioned in the video. Finding the OOB spot was a very surreal experience for me. I almost did not bother sharing my discovery at all, figuring it was already known and debunked, so I am very grateful that I did. If you want to see a piece of MKW history I still have the old rMR theory video up on my channel. I have mostly moved on from theorizing glitches and focus on making custom tracks now, a whole other side of the Mario Kart Wii community I highly recommend checking out. It is insane to think it has been over two years since the original ultra shortcut video (which inspired me to look into rMR in the first place), and how much has happened since then. I can't wait to see what else this community does next!

    This video was great. Growing up I was fortunate enough to have family focused parents, who made "game night" a priority every week/every other week. After we got our wii (which came with MK) we only picked Mario Kart to play for months. We played it so much and made so many memories. It got to the point that my mom and dad would practice together in DUOs on weekends when my sister and I were out with our friends. I used these ultra shortcuts on only a few maps to frequently ensure I would always come out on top. Such good times. Thanks for the video, it brought back a lot of great memories.
