Grumble Volcano
Grumble Volcano is the fourth and final course of the Star Cup in Mario Kart Wii. It is significant in that it was the first track with an ultra shortcut.
Overview
| Type | Unrestricted | No Ultra | No Glitch |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3lap | 13.330 | 1:29.345 | 1:47.651 |
| Flap | 1.466 | 26.140 | 33.885 |
Grumble Volcano has a 3lap viable ultra shortcut, which for flap also involves a delayed lap count. It also currently benefits from the use of superhopping, supergrinding, wallclips, and a very large shortcut (which, along with its many variations, is considered a community shortcut) in both 3lap and flap categories, while also the use of supersliding and a reroute in flap categories. Hence, it has three 3lap and three flap categories.
