Luigi Circuit: Difference between revisions

Information update + added references to known timesaves
trying out a new format for the track pages. i think having a reference for what big strat changes are confirmed slower is valuable

* Implementing the ultra shortcut would bring the TAS well below the 50 seconds mark. A preliminary route involves performing SG and SH on lap 1, then doing two ultras to skip laps 2 and 3.

=== Potential timesaves ===
=== Notable obsoleted strategies ===
'''UR 3lap'''
* On lap 1, after the first turn, it is possible to initiate a supergrind on the sloped curb to the left using a mushroom; the SG can be kept through the next straightway, to reach the trick ramp shroomless with an ejection.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7D6dpk4ht6A (MKW TAS) Luigi Circuit (Supergrinding) - 1:02.466 by Jellopuff, Ejay, Kierio, Malleo, and Thomas]</ref> However, superhopping is faster because it doesn't take a mushroom, and speed doesn't drop below 120 u/f.
'''UR Flap'''
* There is an alternative method for performing the ultra. The setup involves using a mushroom to wallclip and land on the seam (like the current NU Flap), then [[seam riding]] up to KCP 0. Starting the lap on the seam, the [[Checkpoint#CP 1 trick | CP 1 trick]] is performed, and two mushrooms are used to turn around and perform an OOB bounce, avoiding CP 22 and respawning in CP 21 such that the 95% rule is satisfied.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWVkvLACPCo (MKW TAS) New Ultra Shortcut on Luigi Circuit]</ref> This strategy requires a [[respawn]], so it is slower than the respawnless ultra.
'''NU 3lap'''
'''NU 3lap'''
* A potential route using supersliding; shroom off the ramp for height, land on the road seam at the last turn and continue supersliding from there.
* Like for UR 3lap, using the sloped curb after the first turn to start a supergrind on each lap is slower than superhopping.
* An alternative route involves starting a supergrind on lap 1, using the last two mushrooms for more EV, and ejecting at the ramp for massive airtime to enter a superslide at the ending shortcut.<ref>[https://discord.com/channels/214574342137315328/1428639704315723876/1430979522550960199 NU 3lap thread]</ref> This route is about 1-2 seconds slower than simply superhopping on every lap.
'''NG 3lap'''
* It is possible to perform the ramp trick by driving the 3rd turn normally, then spinhopping on the curb and clipping the corner of the ramp.<ref>[https://youtu.be/Zfs86h6BPVU?t=16 (Obsoleted) (MKWii TAS) Luigi Circuit - 1:07.986 (No Glitch)]</ref> This approach is about equal to the BKT, but the bike lands much further right from the trick, requiring a [[Hop#Rehop | rehop]] before the cut. Overall, it loses about 25-30 ms per lap to the BKT method.
'''NG Flap'''
* Using the first shroom at the first turn is ~25 ms slower than using it around turns 2 and 3.
