Destructoid, I have gone down a rabbit hole I can't bring myself out of, and I'm writing this article in hopes others can join me. As I can't stop watching how insane some Mario Kart World tricks are, mere weeks after release.

Most videos of people competing for world record speed times on tracks appear innocent enough at first. A few tricks here and there, some good Mushroom usage, and then suddenly a player is launching themselves off a map to get speed boosts of a single pixel of a tree or go to areas of the stage that feel out of bounds but actually aren't.

Take, for example, Great ? Block Ruins, where near the end of the map, the player does a leap of faith into a pit, tricks off a lone tree onto a wall, and then hits a cloud to jump back onto the stage, essentially riding beneath the track but coming out of it fine. It's one of many examples where players have been able to create impossible jumps.

There are also tracks like Faraway Oasis that take advantage of weird water mechanics to launch racers into the air to get on platforms and places they wouldn't usually be able to, while still finding time to do a trick off a beam or something you wouldn't even consider accessible.

There's even a ******* shock when, in stages like DK Spaceport, you find out it's actually faster to not do any tricks at all and go in a straight line rather than wall riding off platforms or doing small jump dashes. Every second adds up, so after seeing some of the wilder tricks on other stages before, realizing sometimes it's quicker to do 0 tricks becomes equally baffling.

These are just some of the many tricks and tracks I have been scrolling on

shorts or in my spare time, and it makes me wonder what else players will discover as the game gets optimized over time. Also, what is your favorite track or trick you've seen so far!? Let me know in the comments below!
