Why Big Blue Can't Be Beaten In Under A Minute

so i went a little overboard on the animations and didn't post for 6 months oops Credits: @mkalpha_ - Was my primary source for information while I was researching for this video Vincent_MK8 (https://x.com/Vincent_MK8) - Helped me source a particularly difficult to access video clip @MK8DXRecords (https://mkwrs.com) - Archives of all records, nearly all of my footage of runs came from here Join this channel to get access to perks:    / @jopes   Corrections: 7:58 - This explanation is overly simplistic and a bit misleading - the strategy for picking kart combos on most tracks actually involves maximizing both mini-turbo and ground speed, but on big blue, because of both the prevalence of anti-gravity throughout the track and the specific way that the course is set up (many coins early in the race, boost panels everywhere, shortcuts that require high speed, etc.), having a high top speed during anti-grav sections becomes much more valuable than any other stat, meaning you want to get it as high as possible, and as a result Mini-turbo gets reduced. word soup: Mario kart 8 deluxe speed running history video with shortcuts like The History Of The Longest Standing Record or Jenzua Glider - The Glitch That Broke Mario Kart Speedrunning
