The History Of Mario Kart's Most Unforeseen World Record

In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, most players focus are on online races and multiplayer games. But a handful of players main focus are on the Time Trial gamemode, where they compete to drive the fastest runs of every track in the game. GBA Ribbon Road has one of the most unique layouts of any Mario Kart track. It has a whole section where you drive on a ribbon that changes shape. For speedruns, any moving objects in your way require players to do different strategies depending on how fast your run is. Sometimes, taking advantage of a moving element is so beneficial that it allows you to catch up to someone who didnt have the same option. On Ribbon Road, exactly this occurs in the last 10 seconds of the roughly 2 minute long world record so it can't be lowered by having a lead. The state of competition on the track is to drive two very fast laps and maybe slow down if needed, so you can do the ending strategy perfectly early. But in December 2022, a player set a new world record on the track that proved everyone's idea of a limit wrong. Please subscribe if you want more content like this!
