Supergliding was discovered in 2023, however, a fundamental part of it, [[Slow-ramp-abuse#History | slow-ramp-abuse]], was found over a decade prior. Despite the impressive spectacle of the glitch, it remained useless for time trials until ~~Februrary~~ 2, 2023, when [[Ejay B]] accidentally entered the state on SNES Ghost Valley 2 while trying to optimise the last ramp for a TAS. Wishing to complete an entire lap of the course in this state for fun, he utilised the properties of the grey blocks to pinball the vehicle around. In the process, Ejay discovered that specific manipulation of bike [[Rotational axes#Roll | roll]] and joystick inputs while in this state could build up XZ speed. He navigated to the last turn and found a setup which allowed for the exploit to carry speed into the following lap. After some optimisation, the next lap could be entered with enough speed to make it faster than a standard miniturbo entry. Supergliding allows for a 117.1 XZ lap entry, saving ~0.250 over [[Inside-drifting bike | IDB]] no glitch flaps. Since then, [[Outside-drifting bike | ODBs]] have been used in conjunction with completely different strategies, such as [[supersliding]], to achieve a time even faster by ~0.500. Hence, supergliding is no longer viable.

The exact inputs used to fully optimise the setup of a superglide are not fully understood as of now. Below is a rough explanation.

The imprecision of supergliding, unlike most other EV exploits, means that it is viable for use in [[Real-time attack | RTA]] time trials if desired.
