Moo Moo Meadows has a 3lap viable [[ultra shortcut]], and currently benefits from [[supergrinding]] and [[superhopping]] in both 3lap and flap categories. Hence, it has three 3lap and three flap categories. However, no TAS exists for a 3lap with the ultra shortcut, so the No Ultra 3lap record is the Unrestricted 3lap record for the time being.

=== Unrestricted Flap ===
:''Video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQ8knpxt_Vc 9.207 by Jellopuff (2023)]''
The current strategy for UR flap is to perform an ultra shortcut. The strategy is dependent on several [[outside-drifting bike | ODB]]-exclusive techniques, so obviously requires an outside-drifting bike; in this case the [[Vehicles#Phantom | Phantom]] is used. First, you [[wallclip]] the surrounding fence behind the finish line shroomless to reach the finish line banner. The top of the banner is two diagonal walls facing upwards, which meet at an intersection that acts like a [[horizontal wall]], allowing for [[Horizontal wall glitch | HWG]] to be performed. Hitting this intersection unavoidably enters the next lap, so after landing out of bounds, you [[Wall hugging | wall hug]] forwards around the entire lap until reaching the finish line again. By charging and releasing a [[Standstill miniturbo | SSMT]] boost, you perform a [[Hop#Spin hop| spin hop]] under the 10 [[Internal velocity | IV]] threshold to change your rotation. The first mushroom is used to do this a second time, which is used to start drifting. This drift results in a bounce upon wheelieing, which is used to perform an [[Wallclip#ODB clip | ODB clip]]. This wallclip takes you into the next lap and into the solid OOB. By nosediving, you can perform an [[OOB bounce#OOB hop | OOB hop]]. By now, the first mushroom has run out and you will receive the 0.1 speed modifier from the solid OOB, decelerating you quickly enough to stay on the OOB seam. You then SSMT to turn to the left, and use the second mushroom to accelerate. From here, you hop to the right and perform a [[Seam riding#Seam swing | seam swing]]. As you fall towards the [[Checkpoint system#Last KCP rule| last KCP]], you use the third mushroom to prevent losing boost speed, and then respawn. The respawn puts you in the last CP, from where you can use a respawn boost and drive to the finish line, however since you came via the last KCP, you do not [[Checkpoint system#Last CP rule | get a lap subtracted]], and the lap counts.

=== No Ultra 3lap ===
:''Video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyKD9ZHuHHA 1:12.159 by Kierio, Akari, Luke, Thomas, Ejay, Blaze, TASPlasma, Wade, and Marth (2021)]''
The current strategy for UR 3lap is to perform a supergrind at the end of laps 1 and 2; carrying it until the first turn, where an [[Supergrinding#Ejection | ejection]] is performed, preserving [[External velocity | EV]] via [[momentum hops]]. The supergrind is not used at the end of lap 3, as it is only faster after it has been held for a few seconds into the following lap. Every lap, a [[Low trick#RFH low trick | RFH low trick]] is performed on both ramps. On the "blue ramp", this is done get a trick as soon as possible. On the boost ramp, this trick is done to be low enough to start [[Rapid-fire hop abuse | RFH]] and mask the low speed with the trick boost. On lap 3, this trick is as low as possible, which is faster when the supergrind doesn't need to be considered. All three mushrooms are used on the grass cut before the blue ramp, once each lap.

=== No Ultra Flap ===
:''Video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31cScT_JZls 21.962 by Kierio (2022)]''
The current strategy for NU flap is to perform a supergrind into the lap, and then use superhopping, where applicable, for the rest of the lap. Because of this an ODB is used, specifically the [[Vehicles#Shooting Star | Shooting Star]]. For superhopping on the first turn to be viable, the supergrind has to be facing to the left, and so a flap-only [[Supergrinding#ODB supergrinding | ODB supergrind]] must be used. The first mushroom is used on the first grass cut of the section with the cows, the second is used in the 3lap shroomspot, and the third is used in the grass on the last turn.

=== No Glitch 3lap ===

The current strategy for NG 3lap is to drive 3 laps normally, with every lap using the same strats. The only difference between the UR 3lap and the NG 3lap is the lack of the supergrind, as all other strategies are identical.

=== No Glitch Flap ===
:''Video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUhMoh9LX0g 23.172 by Marth and Kierio (2021)]''
The current strategy for NG flap is basically a combination of the NG 3lap and NU flap strats, where the driving strategies from the NG 3lap are used, and the shroomspots from the NU flap are used.

=== TAS Competitions ===

Moo Moo Meadows has featured in two tasks of the [[MKWii TAS Competition]] (Task 10 2020 and Task 1 2023).

== Future ==

=== Future categories ===
'''UR 3lap'''
* The ultra shortcut can be used to achieve a time under 1:00. A run would do superhopping on lap 1 and then the ultra on laps 2 and 3. This would create a new category, making the current UR 3lap the new NU 3lap.<br>

=== Known timesaves ===
'''NU 3lap'''
* The current TAS uses a highly outdated start slide, and the beginning of the first lap was made before full input range was available, so wheel inputs could be used to save time during any airtime.
* Every section TASed solely by Kierio was made in only 5 days, so more time could be cut from just further optimisation.
'''NG 3lap'''
* The current TAS uses a highly outdated start slide, and the beginning of the first lap was made before full input range was available, so wheel inputs could be used to save time during any airtime.
* A right trick on the blue ramp every lap is faster.
* The first turn of laps 2 and 3 can be improved.
'''NU Flap'''
* The current TAS is missing a few minor superhopping optimisations throughout the entire lap, and can benefit from those being implemented.
'''NG Flap'''
* The lap can be entered with a miniturbo boost from a double wheelie SSMT slip drift, saving a small amount of time over the current [[Hop#Quick hop | quick hop]] entry, since more frames of boost are spent at wheelie speed.
* You can get a slip drift into the first shroomspot to charge a miniturbo during the boost, saving time over the plain wheelie strategy.

=== Potential timesaves ===
'''UR Flap'''
* If the ultra shortcut can be done with the Shooting Star, it would likely be faster than Phantom.

Luigi Circuit

DwainiumB: /* Overview */

'''Luigi Circuit''' is the first course of the Mushroom Cup in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. It is significant in that it was the first track where [[supergrinding]] saved time.

Luigi Circuit has a flap-only [[ultra shortcut]], and currently benefits from [[supergrinding]], [[superhopping]], and [[supersliding]] in both 3lap and flap categories. Hence, it has two 3lap categories and three flap categories. The Unrestricted 3lap record is also technically the No Ultra 3lap record, since no ultra shortcut is used.

=== Unrestricted 3lap ===
:''Video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7D6dpk4ht6A 1:02.466 by Jellopuff, Ejay, Kierio, Malleo, and Thomas (2020)]''
The current strategy for UR 3lap is to perform two supergrinds on each lap. The first supergrind takes you down the back straight, and requires a mushroom. Performing the supergrind shroomless loses more than sacrificing the pipe shortcut on the last turn, so the pipe shortcut is never taken on any lap. The second supergrind takes you down the front straight and past the finish line, and can be performed shroomless each lap.

=== Unrestricted Flap ===
:''Video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWVkvLACPCo 15.495 by Jellopuff (2022)]''
The current strategy for UR flap is to perform an ultra shortcut. The strategy is dependent on an [[OOB bounce#OOB hop | OOB hop]], so requires an [[outside-drifting bike]]; in this case the [[Vehicles#Shooting Star | Shooting Star]] is used. Before entering the lap, you use the 1st mushroom to [[wallclip]] the surrounding fence near the second turn (the invisible wall is lowest at this point) and clear the invisible wall. After landing on the seam, you [[Seam riding | seam ride]] forwards until the finish line. The second mushroom is used to enter the lap at full speed in the offroad. It runs out in time for you to brake, [[Standstill miniturbo | SSMT]] to turn around, and use the third mushroom to accelerate again. By hopping to the right and drifting off the seam, you can angle the bike such that upon performing an OOB hop to the left on the solid OOB plane beneath the track, you will have enough sideways momentum to send you into the required checkpoint for respawning. After respawning, you simply SSMT to turn around, drive backwards to hit the [[Checkpoint system#Last KCP rule| last KCP]], perform a [[Standstill miniturbo#Wall bounce SSMT | wall bounce SSMT]] to turn around again, and finish the lap.

=== No Ultra Flap ===
:''Video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9MMXGobvnI 18.426 by Monster (2023)]''
The current strategy for NU flap is to perform [[Supersliding#Wario bike supersliding | WBSS]] for the entire lap, and as such uses [[Vehicles#Wario Bike | Wario Bike]]. The setup starts off similarly to the UR flap, by wallclipping over the invisible wall near the second turn. However, instead of seam riding, you get into the WBSS state, and start building [[external velocity | EV]]. After enough EV has been built, you approach the finish line, and then superslide until the last turn, where you leave the WBSS state, and use the 2nd and 3rd mushrooms to wheelie into the finish line. This is marginally faster than continuing to superslide until the finish line.

=== No Glitch 3lap ===
:''Video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcT3FjJHyCw 1:07.788 by Alego11, César, Corvid, ego, Ejay B, Marth, sorry (2025)]''
The current strategy for NG 3lap is to drive 3 laps normally, with every lap using the same strats. Hopping off the curb allows for a trick off the ramp, utilising [[Side trick abuse | STA]]. By [[Hop#Spin hop | spin hopping]], and then upon landing on the curb, spin hopping again, you can get a large amount of air into the pipe shortcut. Combined with a wallclip off the fence, you can use your mushroom very far into the offroad. This is one of very few wallclip strategies allowed in the No Glitch category.

=== No Glitch Flap ===
:''Video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ntt0-QUkWU0 21.368 by Monster (2020)]''
The current strategy for NG flap is similar to a single lap of the NG 3lap, except that more turns can be cut with two additional mushrooms. The first mushroom is used on the first turn, to both cut the grass and drift with minimal speed loss. The second mushroom is used to drive directly to the ramp through the offroad, and reach it without losing wheelie speed. The ramp is done with a [[Low trick#RFH low trick | RFH low trick]]. The third mushroom is used in the pipe shortcut, however the wallclip strategy is slower from this approach, instead a [[Hop#Double hop | double hop]] is used to both progress into the offroad and also start a drift as soon as possible.

=== TAS Competitions ===

Luigi Circuit has featured in three tasks of the [[MKWii TAS Competition]] (Task 2 2020, Task 2 2023, Christmas Task 2023).

== Future ==

=== Known timesaves ===
'''UR 3lap'''
* Monster and Marth have a 19.446 lap 1 using SG and SH. Were a full 3lap run finished, it would bring the TAS under 58 seconds.
'''UR Flap'''
* Ejay improved the post-respawn section to achieve a 15.341, however the improvement has not been published due to over potential improvements in the lap existing.
'''NG 3lap'''
* Monster and Ancient have a 22.730 lap 1 with an outdated start slide, so not only is the BKT improvable, but so is the improvement.
'''NG Flap'''
* Full input range was not available at the time this TAS was created, so wheel inputs can save time in most places in the air.

=== Potential timesaves ===
'''UR Flap'''
* Better optimisation of the pre-respawn section, as it is from a prelim demonstration from when the ultra was discovered.
'''NG 3lap'''
* Ramp trick with held wheelie. <ref>[https://streamable.com/a6qzd1 lcRampApproach], strategy and footage by Marth, 2023</ref>

SNES Ghost Valley 2

2025-10-04T13:13:19Z

DwainiumB: /* No Glitch 3lap */

'''SNES Ghost Valley 2''' is the third course of the Shell Cup in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. Its first appearance as a course was in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''. It is significant in that it was the first and only course where [[supergliding]] was used, and that it has the fastest NU 3lap, NG 3lap, and NG flap of all 32 tracks, essentially making it the shortest track in the game.

SNES Ghost Valley 2 has a 3lap viable [[ultra shortcut]], which uses [[wallclips]] and [[barrel rolls]], and in the flap variant, a [[delayed lap count]] [[wallclips]] and [[supersliding]]. Outside the ultra shortcut, it also currently benefits from the use of [[superhopping]] in both 3lap and flap categories, while also [[supersliding]] in flap categories. Hence, it has three 3lap and three flap categories. However, no TAS exists for a No Ultra 3lap which implements glitches, so the No Glitch 3lap is the No Ultra 3lap record for the time being.

=== Unrestricted 3lap ===
