Thanks to the Mario Kart Wii community for having an incredible scene. Absolutely could not have done it without them. The following people should be particularly credited for helping greatly with research: Blaze: us-first.info/more/QNKPAUvVZvvtpEJBrMsqXg Braixen: www.twitch.tv/bbraixen cf: us-first.info Ejay: us-first.info Jellopuff: us-first.info/more/UjE8oTqClAchc9Ojkkx4LQ Malleo: us-first.info Additionally, I had a small group of people help me with my first Mario Kart Wii video a couple years ago. The following two people helped me immensely: MrBean35000vr: www.twitch.tv/mrbean35000vr SwordofSeals: www.twitch.tv/swordofseals I’ve loved covering the community in the two videos I’ve made so far, and hope to make more down the road as these players break the game even more!

I wanted to see the kind of shortcuts that makes my friends not want to race me in Mario cart wii. (They don’t like wii because you can fall off the edge). Git good

I hope he knows that he was one of the biggest factors to the boom. Without your videos interest wouldn’t have come up for these. Thank you Mr. Salt.

Your videos are so good that I'm actually feeling bad that I don't give money to you on patreon yet. I'll be solving this problem soon haha

Hey salt thanks for introducing me to some gas music. The videos are nice too :D

Mr Bones Hour ago

I genuinely resented these types of shortcuts at all in MKW, as they totally destroyed Online Play. The only way to keep up was to grab Funky and his bike, and abuse the game, or just not bother.

MARIO KART WII IS THE BEST IDC WHAT ANYONE ELSE SAYS !

Will O Hour ago

The Lyricity pog emote at 27:11 activated my war flashbacks

Greg Is Here Hour ago

No hate, but I don't understand what relevance TAS-only shortcuts have with speedruns. In practice, in my mind, it's the same as having super speed cheats or turning wall hitboxes off.

callen the moron Hour ago

That ending though

Joseph Mazzarella Hour ago

You ever look at a US-first video and be like, "wow, didn't know people made hour long videos about this"

Green Envy 3 hours ago

If it's not humanly possible, should it even be called an ultra shortcut?

Koopa 3 hours ago

Why do I get goosebumps from every one of this mans videos.

Robert Strong-Morse 3 hours ago

Given how many views this is getting, many of you probably haven't subscribed to summoning salt yet. DO IT. It's one of the few channels to never disappoint me and deserves to get that play button already. DO IT NOW.

I love how speedruners when they see "humanly impossible" they basically say "no" and discover an insane way to turn it possible

How can one make such godlike content... I tip my hat for you sir

Samuel Rincon 4 hours ago

mf will say "there was some serious excitement brewing in the community" and then he'll show two youtube comments with 6 likes

Mr Fish543 4 hours ago

I still remember first seeing Arthur pull off the jump, and just going I DID IT I DID IT and i genuinely got emotional. This is 5 years of constant effort from hundreds of people, finally culminating into a single moment. Its difficult not to almost shed a tear hearing their excitement.

Dennis Bautista 4 hours ago

But can you do it with half an (A) press?

So many found in 2020. I guess quarantine was good for gaming in more ways than one.

Cameron Platt 5 hours ago

These videos always have a certain amount of reverence for beloved speedrunning tricks, I absolutely love it. It's like they're reciting poetry. "The Rainbow Road ultra, the holy grail of mario kart wii speedrunning." I know it's just video games but it gives me chills
