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.

holy shit hormone replacement therapy is cracked at MK7

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".

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

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

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.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ESFS7uCv7lU.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.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bQT0drfWrfs.html ) in 2022. Daisy Cruiser clip was in 2019, and also, before that clip was this (m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-W2DfxE53_UI.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.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KfKW8_lb1Q0.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.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OlkbczZJ1c0.html), old Rainbow Road glitch (m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-26mvvWXFQDY.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.

8:29 "BaCk uP ON iT"

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

Player name hormone replacement therapy :

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

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!

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.

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

Ok the “Back up on it” was funny. I’ll give you that.

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

hrt

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.

I just finished the video on Mario Circuit 2 and this popped up in the recommendations! Great video!

God I still remember all the big babies screeching about the wuhu shortcut. Brings back memories… crazy to think that was nearly 12 years ago.

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

I'm glad mk7 is getting more attention

8:29 I actually found this by myself a few years ago, i never thought someone would find it and save time out of it!

Whenever he says MK, my brain thinks Mortal Kombat and I get a huge disconnect because it's a Mario Kart video. Anyway, I am tired of getting blue shelled at the last lap by the AI and losing the race because of that, so I will learn these shortcuts.

Luigi's Mansion was now just Luigi without the Mansion. Lmao that was so unexpected and so funny

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

This was my first video game ever that I owned

tHIS IS MY favorite mariokart, and it was amazing to see it gain more recognition

I wish this video was longer!!! It's SO good, that i cannot help but watch it over and over!

Summoning Salt, is that you?

Your videos are making me really invested in MK7

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

bro forgets pasta and spaghetti

I watched this a week after that’s a 7 (sans trom-bone sound(HAH DOUBLE PUN GET DUNKED ON))

The Romeo and Juliet music on the maple treeway / koopa cape shortcuts had me in tears

Thank you for this video. You’re criminally underrated

“Some players just chose not to”

0:52 had me laughing so hard

I used to go to timetrials and watch people race and try to do it myself

MY FAVORITE MK7 PLAYER EVEBER HRT 😍😍😍

Just wait a bunch of years later and mario kart 8 will have a lot of shortcuts im telling ya

as someone who grew up with mk7, i love the fact that people are still discovering this game

One of my favourite things about this game is that they patched the maka wuhu shortcut for online play but left it in time trials.

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

Let's go! Fav mario kart game gets recognition!

9:07 It's funny how you said they brought the record down, but the footage says "You lose" lol

Wow you've been making bangers for ages your so underrated I need to binge your content brb

RIP Funky Kong 😢, damn you Florida

Man’s sounds like chills

8:30 I tried this shortcut and it worked thanks for that! Great vid btw

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

By maka wuhu before i know there is a site for speed runs my ghost on that track was one of the fastest ghosts

Hell yeah, my favorite Mariokart game has finally had a shortcut revolution

Buddy thinks he’s summoning salt

10:00 this is the most satisfying thing to do in whole MK7 super hard but super rewarding

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

surprised to see you don't even have 2k subs. I thought you would've been in at least the tens of thousands!

Mario kart 7 is just mario kart wii's son

My dude calling Hgt HRT lmao

Bro is late to the party XD

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.

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!

Dont quite nail it, there is "salt" in the video but not enough, if you know whadda mean.

Also an interesting thing they did with 7 was make you get counted out of bounds if you exited the checkpoint boundaries. They presumably added this to prevent ultra shortcuts... but it failed. There'd be TONS more ultras possible if this didn't exist. I made a cheat over a year ago to disable the out of checkpoint respawns and the game behaves very strangely if you skip checkpoints this way. Such as being able to enter lap 4.

Awesome video

Nostalgic!

11:14 to be fair, im pretty sure that glitch in koopa cave on wii was discovered years after 7 came out

Great vid, seems very well researched. i remember playing this game with friends, seeing how it was so broken even we abused the glitches lol

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 Maple Treeway and Koopa Cape Ultraa were found after the release of MK7 :D So the devs technically didnt know about it ^^

Can't believe this isn't a Summoning Salt video yet, but yours fills the gap well.

ok to be fair the koopa cape ultra got discovered pretty recently

Anto fufilling my speedrun analysis video fix

I feel proud getting the warios ship one, and i hadnt idea of it being difficult

very interesting video 👍

Jacob is an MK7 master

for the koopa cape one, the mkwii version was discovered after mk8dx was released

I havent watched it yet but i think it will be great!!

idk why, but this video makes me feel all fuzzy inside 😊. i've recently found my old 2ds, and have been playing mk7 a lot more

Hate to be that person, but it's Hgt and not HRT, but regardless this was a nice video!

Nice video👍

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

10:50 i was literally abt to comment how you used the same description twice and then kept listening and laughed my ass off sghsgsh

dam someone needs to make a video on this guy jacob

This is so fuckin cool and engaging anto UR VIDEOS ROCK !!!!!

This guy sounds like the Burger King foot lettuce guy and I can’t unhear it

I lmao'd at maple treeway and koopa cape

The stairs in Luigi’s mansion are crazy. First you could crash your game on them using A+B at the same time in Mario Kart DS and now in 7 it’s used for a great shortcut 😂😂😂

Do we even know how checkpoints work in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe? I don’t think so

Forgot the T in shortcut 0:27

I’m actually speedrunning snes rainbow road on mk7 this is pretty cool

Summoning salt is creating legends. Amazing vid 👏

Constructive criticism regarding the video; when talking about the maple treeway and koopa cape glitches i almost thought i watched the same thing twice as you basically said the exact same thing (at least at the start) Hope you dont take it the wrong way, but perhaps it couldve been laid out differently to improve the production quality? 😀
