Overview
| Type | Unrestricted | No Ultra | No Glitch |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3lap | 1:38.436 | 1:39.975 | |
| Flap | 8.777 | 24.517 | 30.564 |
N64 Mario Raceway has a flap-only ultra shortcut, which uses supergrinding, a delayed lap count, and wallclips. Outside the ultra shortcut, it also currently benefits from the use of supergrinding and a large shortcut currently deemed a community shortcut in 3lap categories, and supersliding in flap categories. Hence, it has two 3lap and three flap categories. The Unrestricted 3lap record is technically the No Ultra 3lap record since no ultra shortcut is used.
Unrestricted 3lap
The current strategy for UR 3lap is to drive lap 1 normally, lap 2 normally shroomless, until the last turn where supergrinding is performed to assist in the "hill shortcut" on lap 3 with the remaining 2 mushrooms.
