The History Of Mario Kart 7’s Most Broken TAS

Mario Kart is a franchise that is well known for the crazy shortcuts that can be found throughout all of the games. But what would happen if there was a track where every single corner had a shortcut? Welcome to the TAS History of SNES Mario Circuit 2

“Despite the discovery of Spaghetti, ”

I laughed harder at this than the shortcut actually being called Spaghetti.

It's crazy how little time is actually spent on the track compared to how much is spent on the walls. Super cool run!

The ending of the video is so wholesome, i love that the community is not competing just to see who is better and who pulls the best time, but end up joining forces to achieve the unthinkable, and have a collaborative effort to get the absolute best and most optimized times on tracks.

You can’t believe how long I’ve waited for this, MK7 has truly had some of the most fascinating developments the past few years

[Andaisdet]

It’s so cool that this guy not only covers the history of speedruns, but also IS a speedrunner himself!

This video made me emotional I’m not going to lie. Joining the community in 2015 immediately after the revival of the TT scene and seeing it evolve into what it is today has been one of the coolest things I have ever seen. Thank you for all your efforts in the RTA and TASing communities the past several years, we wouldn’t be here without you.

I only've been in this community for a few months and when I first found out it existed I thought it would be almost dead, because "who still plays Mario Kart 7 10 years after it released ?". But during these last months I've been amazed by how active this community actually was and by everything that has been happening since I'm there : rKD being so close to sub 1:34, Endo becoming PPChamp, Jack getting his first WR... and now this amazing "Summoning Salt level" video. All of this make really makes me wanna push hard on this game and motivates me to interact more with this community (because I've been quite silent for now that's why you probably don't recognize my name). Thank you for this video MKWilliam you did an amazing job. I don't know if a freaking paragraph was necessary to express that, but now I'm more motivated than ever to play MK7.

Fantastic video with such smooth editing. I love the different camera angles you use to illustrate your points throughout. You should definitely make more narrated content like this in the future. Very well done.

[davidguerrero]

Amazing editing and storytelling, I'd really like to hear you talk about the mechanics within the game or talk about the kart parts and their (secret) stats and showing some of your favorite in-game builds.

[millicentflusher]

beautiful video. i hope more TAS creators make videos like these for their games because TASing is such an underrated art form. i know i'm inspired to do something similar eventually

[MitchAUS_]

As an MKW player, I saw this in my recommended and thought to myself “what does mk7 have that’s interesting?” Well done William, great documentary!

[Hugomk]

I was afraid you'd show a screenshot of me saying something along the lines of "I'm cutting off my balls if spaghetti ever saves time", great job there

[SemiHypercube]

it's always cool when person narrating the speedrun documentary suddenly mentions themself as part of it

[akappaa]

honestly incredible video, massive respect for putting so much effort into a video about a frankly under-appreciated mk game. big fan of mk7 tases, id love to see more videos of this nature

[gabrielarras]

This was so well put together! It feels so much like a Summoning Salt video (:

[ニセニネチフ]

I was so surprised that the game I played the most had endless possibilities. I thought that only Japanese people played this game, but I was very excited to know that people all over the world are enjoying it.
There is a high possibility that the English I wrote is wrong because of my lack of study.

[chrisboston]

This is brilliant. Excellent editing and narration, coupled with an enthralling story. I hope the community goes on to hear much more about the history of it's favorite tracks 👍

only like 2 minutes in and i'm already pretty invested.
this will DEF be one of the most high quality videos ive ever watched

[shattre]

Ive played every single mario kart game and i can say that mk7 (with mods) is the most fun with mkwii being a close second. What i really like doing is being in the air (glider) on mushroom gorge, closing the glider and using a mushroom right before landing on a bouncy mushroom, tricking and then getting launched into space.
Also, amazing video. Your commentary is very fun to listen to, the TASes are very impressive and the whole thing is very well edited.
Great job!
