SNES Ghost Valley 2
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.
Overview
| Type | Unrestricted | No Ultra | No Glitch |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3lap | 46.407 | 52.456 | |
| Flap | 6.766 | 15.273 | 16.009 |
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
The current strategy for UR 3lap is to perform the ultra shortcut on lap 1 using all 3 mushrooms, and then drive laps 2 and 3 normally shroomless.
