New Ultra Shortcut on Toad's Factory [Mario Kart Wii TAS]

This is probably my proudest achievement in TASing...

■ Video is best viewed at 1440p/4K ■

After the DS Delfino Square ultra shortcut was found a month ago, only two courses without any sort of checkpoint glitch remained: SNES Mario Circuit 3, and Toad's Factory.

The community agreed that SNES Mario Circuit 3 is likely unbreakable due to its sturdy layout and lack of slopes - leaving Toad's Factory as the last realistic course… that is, until December 14th.

After months of inactivity, I was bored and decided to muck around with a kart on Toad's Factory. 15 minutes later, I discovered a brand new method to build up tons of external velocity. Had I instead chosen to experiment with a bike, this wouldn't have been found.

Within another couple of hours I found a precise way to make use of it, and here we are... the 29th ultra shortcut!

Thank you to:
‪@kawediloru‬, for helping me stack the little extra velocity (when I needed to sleep) to get the extra distance for the ultra to work, and hence for being the first person to land the ultra shortcut.

‪@mikul958‬, for saving me some time by pulling off the invisible wall bypass at the beginning,

‪@thepolice3822‬ and ‪@justin3055‬ for their work on the backwards hop strat.

And cheers to everyone else who polished the driving to optimise it for this video!
