I Built a Track Where Every Shortcut Leads to a Dead End. 

Instead of invisible walls, make one where every shortcut skips a different checkpoint

"it's like a where's waldo book, but waldo is circled on every page" broke me so hard i'm crying laughing 🤣😂

I think it is funnier that there was a small cheese at the very end. Imagine the dedication it takes to find a cheese at the very end when all the other obvious cheeses were blocked off. People were STIL checking for cheese after getting denied so many times. And it paid off!

I love that zeepkist is coming back to the channel

I love how kAN's tracks are just anti-Dapper now 😂

Next one like this, try putting slowsters instead of invisible walls. I think it would be even more frustrating to players to have their speed reduced so low that they either can't make the track, or that it wastes more time than the shortcut gained. And it would make them take more time waiting.

12:45 I would like to mention to yannic that as a keyboard player, this map has no significant controller advantage. I played it for 10 minutes and set a 59.426. If anyone has GTR they're willing to check. To my knowledge, there are only 2 maps that are impossible on keyboard, and only one other that has a noticeable advantage for controller.

Now you can do shortcuts with invisible walls that have hidden gaps in them.

I like how Kan keeps missing the cheese at the end by going for the right side wall ride, and not the left side over inner - where you avoid the tree Dapper was talking about.

A fun part of this video was the "fire" in the in-game chat. Whether it was accidentally started by kAN or not, it was actually hilarious to try and read it.

That I'm boring guy is wild, like wtf 😅

Never heard KAN being so happy with himself before. Just pure beautiful malice.

Ooh! You should do a 7-minute track that _starts_ by doing the "fake shortcut but actually stops you" so that they anticipate every shortcut is fake and do the track normally... but _then_ in the second half of the track all the shortcuts are real. You have _just_ enough time to do one run of the map, so people won't necessarily notice that the shortcuts suddenly work unless they're right behind you or see your time is way lower.

I would love to see a map where players choose the shortcuts, so you could have tons of ramps and halfpipes so you have players flying everywhere

I just bought Zeepkist because of you

You should have a track with a bunch of shortcuts, but they are covered by a spinning plate with a hole in it so 75% of the time you can not go through it.... and they all spin at different speeds so it is pure luck to pick a path that works.

Next map: several shortcuts that work but are longer than the regular track, or that drop you off before the entrance of the cheese

Never been so early. Discovered Dapper via Spy Party (you should play more) then his Zeepkist stuff and binged those, now I'm binging Kan's videos and this pops up!

Dapper (probably): _Down with the blasphemer!_

Hey Kan, here’s a suggestion(which I believe will make it more interesting) make this type of track where there’s an obvious shortcut that is fake but then make a few hidden actual shortcuts around the track

Amazing video, the finish was wild

I loved the dialogue on this one, it was great :D

I like this theme about shortcuts you have been doing.

I love this and I have only seen the walkthrough epic!

i think it would be funny to add to this track idea to make counter intuitive boosters , so instead of taking inner curves on the turns , you get a boost on the outer curves , ontop of adding more fake shortcuts with one real one one in the end that slows you to a crawl to the end as a final troll

this would be a really cool map with the short cuts, that said it looks super chill as a regular track too. awesome map dude.

i think one-way passthrough barriers would be fun to build traps like that

Would love to see you make even more controversial tracks in the future. Was quite funny

That glass tube out of a mountain sounds really cool! One of these days a track where you need to do a tricky flip to get into it for about a second or two save could be nice!

Love the track kan. Chat was getting angry over defending you, when someone made a comment that *could* have been taken offensively but wasn't intended to be, because they stated a preference of hunting for cheese vs racing.

I think people might have been annoyed due to the nature of reward/punishment on the shortcuts. In Dapper's tracks, the shortcuts are carefully hidden so you're rewarded for exploration. In Kan's tracks, the shortcuts tend towards more technical so you're rewarded for skill. In this case, you're punishing both exploration and skill with the walls. It's kinda a fun concept for a laugh, and I would have just ran it normally after figuring out the walls were there (it's 10 minutes, it's not a big deal), but I can see how it could annoy people.

Brilliant idea

If you're actually wondering where lose speed compared to the 0:59 times, it's mostly when you hop as the track changes from sloping left to right or vice-versa. It's faster if you go through the point that doesn't cause a hop, even if that means taking a weirder angle in relation to the rest of the track.

I hope this is all culminating into 1 big shortcut frenzy where you have it all randomly scattered throughout the track: forced shortcuts, forced avoidance of the shortcuts, bad shortcuts, real but optional shortcuts, etcetera. Everything! Also, I don't know how well it can be done in Zeepkist, but would it be possible to make an underground track that looks like you have to loop around: each checkpoint looks like 2 separate checkpoints (but they're really just 1 big checkpoint), with directional boosts to prevent backtracking, and it looks like it loops back to the start, but really the second "lap" is secretly 1 floor up or down (use pipes or something to conceal the elevation change, and have the ceilings very low to minimize the elevation change), but is otherwise a carbon copy (including a finish on floor 1 you can't use due to only having half of all checkpoints, but have the start be somewhere out of sight and un-backtrackable to conceal the lack of new racers). The joke of this track would be that "lap 2" has its shortcuts open, while "lap 1" has its shortcuts closed.

I thought you already made this video already, then I reread the title

I downloaded the track and the last jump "shortcut" got me so good hahaha

If you are taking suggestions for tracks, I'd love to see one that is just the bell curve for times: Run the track normally -> Using all the shortcuts -> Run the track normally (Optimized)

Absolutely love the troll course

I love that there is more cheesekist on the chanell

I personally prefer maps like this over dappers... dappers cheese maps just invalidate the normal track, like there is no point in even making the normal track. Also makes it basically not replayable, as everyone just goes for the cheese which, ones again, usually invalidates the rest of the track -.-

hey kan, love you vids. Here is another vid idea: Make shortcuts but the jump ramp is a clip through texture.

that is evil, allowing them to see the chek point, a glimmer of hope, only tO FLY RIGHT PAST IT, DAMN

Kan! Make a scary horror clown track!🤡🔪 Circus tent,🎪 eyes that follow you,👁👁 big blocks of the word "HA HA!" No cheese.🚫🧀 Just unsettling.😱 It would be such a fun thing to see!😆 Unless it's already been done.🤔

cool track! always fun seeing people get surprised with the fake shortcuts lmao- sucks people in chat were being weird about it but loved the vid regardless :]

I get people's sentiment. Basically they would like a map that isn't based around whether there is or isn't cheese. It's more mentally relaxing when the track sends a consistent message. It's harder to get RU-vid engagement with that way though. People click on videos that intentionally screw with peoples' minds.

It would be funny to lead all fake shortcuts to the start of the map like they are resetting lol

Every shortcut has another, even more hidden shortcut. Its not enough to find the cheese. You also have to find the cheese cheese, and then the cheese cheese cheese.

Make a track based on chutes and ladders. The normal track is the back and forth of the board but there are "shortcuts" where ever there is a chute or a ladder but the chutes end up leading you backwards but you can still finish the track

you should make a shortcut tunnel that loops back on itself and exits very close to the entrance or back out at the start

WR times in TrackMania is some of the least smooth chaos you can see. Doesn't matter if the map flows smooth, its sometimes faster to just not be smooth.

GG. You should make backcuts. That is shortcuts that loop around and drop you back at the start. ;)

This is delightfully evil

Kan dropping the most controversial zeepkist track ever.

kAN is slowly turning into Anti-dapper, one makes cheeses and other removes the cheese

It’s kAN’s track, so if he wants to keep the cheese to himself, that means it’s (best “Kentucky Ballistics” impersonation) nacho cheese!

I'm glad the track is just what it appears to be (mostly) so I can follow the "I'm gonna talk crap directly to you and then backpedal when pressed about it!" in the chat 🍿

A demo was released through the Steam NextFest that's similar to GearBlocks and hope we see kAN play it soon

KAN I made a spleef for you to try for multiple players Monday, look under Kane Fury, spleef. I did have a bit of trouble with the cars but i fixed as best i could but i think it's a little bug.

That’s pure evil.

13:30 Me and kan on the same brain wave

You know what could've made it even better, you should have put shortcuts that were REAL

I think the big driver of the controversy here was that the map with shortcuts would have been a more fun map to play with tunnels, jumps, and wallrides while the track you forced everyone to drive with invisible walls is just much less interesting.

We love Zeepkist, kAN

Kan didn't make 0 shortcuts, he made a track with an Any% route, sick

Kan, they released combustion engines preview for gearblocks!

Maybe now make a track where all the shortcuts aren't really shortcuts. You can take those paths and finish them, but they'll all either be a longer path or massively reduce the speed. I wonder how people would react to that lol

Kan is basically 'Anti-Dapper'..

make one that every shortcut leads to another shortcut

That one guy that would prefer a world without opinions reminds me of a guy I learned about in history 🤔

So..next up is an almost-anti-cheese where there are invisible walls until *just* before the Checkpoint?

Kạn tracks are basically the opposite of Dapper’s track 😂

Yannic (Fiets) should make a track one of these times

Dapper's the cheese man and kAN's like the Vegan Lactose Intolerant guy. He's got "cheese"/"something-like-cheese-that's-not-cheese-but-if-you-subvert-your-expectations-and-all-reality-it-might-be-cheese", but you're not going to like the results. Dapper's got Chalupa's and kAN's bringing the rest of the Taco Bell menu. kAN I think you're at the point where you could make tracks that are titled, "Don't touch anything" or "Hold Left for the entire track" and people would still spend the entire race running into walls not following the instructions

Should make a track were the "Shortcuts" aren't actually faster or slower, but rather just the same as driving normally.

Actually, cause of the obviousness of these shortcuts, they cannot be called cheese. A shortcut built into a track on purpose by definition cannot be cheese

There's no link to a Dapper's track in the description.

Somebody modified a where's waldo book so there's no waldo.

Play, roblox the game build a boat for treasure, once you get a lot of stuff, it can be a cool game to engineer stuff, and a good sandbox.

What if A map where every shortcuts leads to a win But one is faster than the others

So basically a maze? :D

Daps track isn't in comments?

now do a track like this but with one good hidden cheese which skips like a lot

make cheese that just take longer than the regular track. Oooor cheeses that loop back to the start

mod the boosters to make a fart sound because how else does a soap box accelerate without a engine

The ultimate anti-Dapper track

Can you show the fastest run at the end so we can see what they did?

Make a version of this where its identical to the shortcut only but inverted(for the masochists)

Instead of having the invisible walls, it would be funnier if they just missed the checkpoints while taking the shortcuts

the dude in chat at 6:15 oof

Can you guys play some trackmania anytime ?

Pain😂😂😂😂 and false hope

What about a track where there are no checkpoints on the "track" so people have to find the "shortcuts"? And you have to return to the track in between shortcuts.

had to come back to the video cus i realized i ddint give it a thumbs up when i first watched it.

Just fyi, my time was without going of the track once, no wallrides

Poggera

I built a 5k dollar gaming PC because of you guys... just to play zeep since it's not on console lmao

When will Railroads online be back??

I own a wheres waldo book where he has a big red marker around him on every page. was so pissed when I found my 12 year old cousins did that. no there not brain damaged, just Dumb as Dirt.

I don't like the fact that you aren't more popular

A cheese and switch track boooooo.
