Obvious Trackmania Shortcut Discovered After A Decade

- Ever since 2008, Trackmania speedrunners have gone to great lengths to optimize the world records in the game. But somehow, despite their efforts, an unbelievable "obvious" shortcut went undiscovered, hidden in plain sight for 13 years.. until now. This is the story of D06 Obstacle.

The funniest thing is that I discovered this cut by accident while messing around on this map in the editor. After I passed the checkpoint and noticed I was ahead I probably had the biggest laugh ever playing Trackmania :D
You're a legend now, Rollin :D
sometimes luck is better than skill :)
What a legend
Yeah I laughed my ass off when I saw your record XD
The austrian champion :D
"it had been hidden in plain sight"
And here I am, looking at those white ramps that are just begging you to ride on.
Same
just wondert that. i thought THAT was the shortcut
@@starsgold1066 same, and they are for the new shotcut
Yeah he could get a booster wall climb bug thingy to send the car flying on them and drop directly in the opposite cp
yeah that was what i was expecting too, knowing nothing about trackmania lol
"yeah, the fastest way is to just drive the course as intended"
I'm actually shocked that was even a valid idea in a speedrunning community
Intentions never match use, not even your personal items
Actually there is one course where that still holds true in trackmania. Both the mindset and in practice. Forget which one it is since I've never played and only catch some videos here.
@@donanthebarbarian5177 a07 race? is the first one that comes to mind from these videos
It’s pretty surprising how easily it was accepted but once it was broken as always the floodgates banged open
Same
"instead of hoping for chance, he just smashed in to it."
if brute force doesn't work, *_you aren't using enough_*
Underrated comment
Your pfp checks out dude

“My goodness why didn’t I think of that” taken to a new level
istg i tried to do this shortcut 2 years ago, but i am to bad at the game, so i couldnt get the required speed for it
Yeah also had troubles with the speed management to pull it off 3 rounds in a row.
As soon as I saw the track I was like "Can't you just jump over to the other side?"
banana
@@motyf9590 eatleast say something to the community bout that
The thing that made this shortcut not just really simple, but made everyone feel stupid, is that if you're a relatively new Trackmania player, holding the throttle and flying off the edge of a wallride is a classic _rookie mistake_ to make in any other Trackmania map. Yet Rollin smashed this record using that very same _"rookie mistake"._
Yeah but also, it’s tied into the fact that players had become really good at the map. If you’re not so fast that your speed would otherwise force you to release, it’s not actually faster. So you first have to push the absolute limit before it becomes viable.
Rollin: air go fast brrrrrrer
Yeah, I DID this cut ACCIDENTALLY on my first good run on d-06, then realized "oh shit that's probably way slower" and started braking the next attempt (i crashed the lap after doing the cut)
What I think is so great about it is that this shortcut doesn't even go off the track like all the other shortcuts usually do. Most shortcuts skip from one point in the track to another in a way that wasn't really intended in the track's original design. This one doesn't do that, it's exactly how the track is designed to be played, just more hardcore.
@@brentlidstone1982 It does go off the track in the vertical axis though... I don't understand why you would consider any shortcut it the other 2 horizontal axes to be unintended paths, yet skipping in vertical axis is more ore less within expectations.
The graphics showing the racing lines are so sick! Hope to see more of that
Same
Nooo the 69 was ruined
Why tm2 tho
The only thing I didn't like about that part was the bad camera angles
@@anikinmartinez4726 what? The camera angles were good too my guy.
Track designer: Heh. 'ey finally found it. *smiles and leans back*
Imagine him getting more and more frustrated over 13 years waiting for someone to finally find it
@@DusigrosH I would be frustrated if I named my track "Obstacle" and everyone would just drive circles around the obstacle in the middle instead of using it as intended. Kappa
@@54321eclipse12345 i believe in the older trackmanias, the obstacle in the center didnt exist
@@holeechit_ I believe in older Trackmanias, this track did not exist
Then still having no one see the left bank into a full spiral of lefts
"Trackmania players don't get surprised too often", has an entire CZcams channel dedicated to every time Trackmania players got surprised.
Go away lol
I read this as the video started
Well thats the point, if they would get surprised all the time, noone would watch such a channel.
@@ondrejnovotny7628 but if they didn't get surprised all the time this channel would have no purpose.
I mean it’s not like he has daily uploads xD
Those race line visualizations are super satisfying
agree, love em x)
Like Tron
Add in the slow mo, they combine like a mom and the milkman
@@wombat4191 damn 😔, that hit way too close to home.
Yeah, he did it in TM2.
You know someone is a good creator when you dont even play the game they are talking about and still fully watch it
And cus the game is interesting too lol
@@sen5965 you miss the point......
I dont even play Trackmania, but I've enjoyed the storytelling. You convey really well how these findings came to be, and the excitement over these achievements. Keep it up!
I especially love how when actually showing the record breaking runs, he just goes quiet and lets the video speak for itself,
They had it in front of their eyes but sometimes you see things from a different point with your eyes closed.... and that's how wirtual beat trackmania blindfolded
I actually think i did that when i played tm years ago. But the rest of my driving was bad, so i couldnt know it was faster or slower.
That line through the air is just so gorgeous, almost as though it was intended all along.
I know right!
Almost like that left bank exists for a reason, too.
@@j.ballsdeep420 Agreed. I don't even play video games, but from all the other speed running videos I've watched this track looks ripe for cuts. The damn thing has one checkpoint, three laps, and an infield filled with ramps! There's got to be a way to cut that time in half.
@@KirtFitzpatrick the one limiting factor I think is that you do just lose so much speed to jump into and out of the track, I think it probably will stay such that driving as intended (except the jump) up until that last checkpoint will probably stay faster than trying to zip from checkpoint to finish and back repeatedly
2:01 You put a flag of Slovakia here, but Vilivano's flag at the top left (2:08) is the flag of Slovenia. I know everyone mixes them up, but those are two different countries :)
that was the first thing ive noticed XD
Im from svk so i was like "oh no, not again" :D
@@deadfame Asi tak. 😂
True
@@deadfame more like "zase dopice"🤦♂️😔
“He dreamed even further then 59 seconds, he wanted to get 58”
And THIS, is to go even lower beneath!
Okay, but the dang Tron Cinematic at 6:39 is top notch.
Hi,
Do you know how to create this effect ? I wonder if it is a TM feature or an edit. Thanks
It is featured in trackmania replay editor I think :)
Thanks !
@@ragmandu63 I did it using the trackmania 2 editor, which offers more possibility like the trails behind the cars ;)
@@ryxsartm6504 mate i need the song track of that part of the vid :p
They weren't kidding in the comments of Rollin's video "wait for Wirtual to make a documentary".
I'm still amazed by your storytelling abilities to talk for a shortcut for so long without me losing attention.
Wirtual: "Hey Rollin can I copy your homework?"
Rollin: "Yeah just don't make it obvious."
Wirtual:
I have severely underestimated how difficult it is to drive on Trackmania tracks with such precision and speed since I decided that I wanted to try it out myself. I have profound respect and admiration for you and all the Trackmania pros who meticulously work on the tracks to gain milliseconds of time.
Détermination, fun, patience, and time on your hands is all you need to get great, have fun in our little community and let's have fun shall we? :p
Détermination, fun, patience, and time on your hands is all you need to get great, have fun in our little community and let's have fun shall we? :p
Start by hunting new tracks on TMX (the trackmania sharing site) then, try maps by well known mappers, then try some Classic maps on tmx too, and when you feel like you should be good to go with Nadeo hunt :p as long as you have fun along your journey! Join some trackmania discord servers, it'll be much help, like Edge's discord (if you don't know him, check "Edge trackmania" on yt :p on his server he hosts little mapping competitions for every person to have fun on :)
important comment .. these videos make it look so easy but it's such a hard game to master
I started my trackmania journey grinding A07 and the lines they drive are absolutely insane
can we have a minute for the edit though? Those Tron lines sooo clean
He pulled a wirtual with those lines. Amazing
Being the first to use a shortcut in a Speedrun is such a great feeling. I rediscovered an old CZcams video that Showed a shortcut which I used for an any% run of Mirror's Edge and got WR and sub 30 for the first time. The most interesting part of that level is that another runner only beat my standing WR just days earlier using a different shortcut I haven't seen elsewhere. But only a few days later the competition did the shortcut better and they still keep the WR today. There are no other runners, so there is a lot of time to be saved as shortcuts to be found.
Mirrors edge is such a beautiful game but how tf do speedrunners do their magic? Like damn wall run air kick log out no clip speedruns
I remember using a shortcut on this track when I was a kid where I would cut the corner ignoring the wallride just jumping to the left, but it probably wasn't even faster, I just liked not using the intended way.
Fun fact about this shortcut: it was actually known for a really long time among casual stunters. The problem was that it was thought to not only be way slower than the WR pace but also not really worth trying considering how easy it is to slam into a wall or just slide on landing. I remember a few friends of mine having fun doing 180s off of it and barely landing on the other side, usually turtled or flipping from the impact, and then doing replays where the camera swoops under it Speed Racer style.
Now that makes more sense, I was thinking, is just so stupidly simple that I could see it being that in the first 2 seconds, and I could see myself doing it even in accident if I didn't see just by how obvious it was, but this makes 20 times more sense, after hearing how the game works it makes sense that pro played would discard the shortcut for going against common sense.
@@SpecterNeverSpectator Yup, it reminds me of all the technological or scientific discoveries found in a similar way.
Wow, "Rocket League" really changed since last time it saw it
?
@@fisku Look at the description and the game this video is listed on.
It's better tbh. Install it
@@RapidReelTV I know, I'm GC2
@@metasamsara weird flex, but ok
Since this video's not on the music list. Song starting at 0:35 is Chrono Trigger: Wind Scene Orchestral remix. You're welcome
Thank you! I knew the song from somewhere but couldn't remember where :)
What about the first song?
do you know the song that starts at 4:30?
Songs, which i found in comments :
00:35 Wind Scene - Malcom Robinson
04:30 Wave Saver - 2099

Have a nice day;)
Thanks a lot bro
Hey, what's the first one? Ty
man when he made the jump i just sat in awe for a solid minute.
This is actually hysterical.
I love how competitive this game is! People constantly pushing each other to new great heights!!!
I have never played track mania and just started watching videos like a week ago and I love the videos they’re awesome
Spent my blood, sweat and tears trying to get author medal on D06 obstacle 1 week ago and this shows up now...
Now you can take the shortcut
Doesn’t really change anything, does it? Or would this help you to get the author medal? :D not trying to hate, just reasoning :D
@Marty Kaspik i looked it up an author medal on this is 1:10xx so you definetely don’t need any cut
@@jannavarik9447 maybe help you get the author medal easily
@@dominikdobrotic8298 you would need to drive really perfectly to pull it off, but maybe
Hefest is gonna destroy that record two days after the new shortcut is done
gotta respect Hefest in his dedication to grind for optimization of strats
@Noah Estreich who
Or riolu!
@Noah Estreich speedy XDDDDDDDDDDDD
The “tron” like lines are epic.
Can't wait for a title "this skip has been finally done after a CENTURY"
(or what felt like a century anyways)
I guess you literally can't wait for it
The car trails are such a beautiful addition, I absolutely love it!
You showed Slovakian flag next to Vilivano's name but he is Slovenian. Still perfect video!
I know
Nobody cares tbh
@@GamerCheatsForAll maybe someone should, tbh.
That happens so much that the two countries even exchange missorted post.
Where I worked we had a double check on everything going to slovakia or slovenia to prevent the mess up.
One of them should change names.
I was about to comment that
Fun fuct: in Poland "Bambik" currently is used mostly by fortnite players, and it means noob
Content is absolutely phenomenal. Haven’t played TM for almost 10 years, and completely forgot about the game, then this video pop’s up on my YT feed 2 day’s ago and since that I’ve watched all of ur videos on record pioneers. This is no doubt a sub worth.
Keep up the good work buddy:)
seeing a slovakia flag next to vilivano and then seeing the slovenian one right after in the top left hurt
Exactly!
same
That Chrono Trigger soundtrack, as soon as the first note came in my mind started playing it in my head. I'm almost paying more attention to the music than the video itself lol
Thank you for being the commenter eho recognized the song because i was losing my mind trying to figure out why i recognized this
i immediately searched for a comment like this lol i just focused on the music lmao
What is the song at 6:32?
god what's the name of that song?? the one at the beginning, I've been searching for so long
@@sherlockbones6702

Why I love your channel so much even tho I'm not a Racing gamer at all, is because you document these amazing niche chunks of history, yet actively ARE a player taking part in this history. It's like learning Math straight from Einstein
This video was the first one i saw from your channel. Now been watching you for almost a year. You got me into trackamania, and that really has saved some sad days
6:36 Moment of appreciation for these shots
Your cinematic skills are amazing Wirt!
Does anyone know the name of the music that’s been used?
@@Itachiultra wave saver 2099
It looks... inspiring
When I look at this car I feel like I can do anything
I thought that this was going to be about plasto's D03 cut discovery, and Hefest's wr
Me for the D02 cut
Edit : why is every new shortcut are in D0X ?
That's insane. I saw someone play trackmania on an *old* computer a little bit it came out and haven't heard of that game until recently when I started watching this channel. This is mesmerizing to watch. Please continue uploading these!!!
shout-out to the editing on this one. the side-by-side comparisons are beautifully done and very helpful.
Trackmania and shortcuts, like bread and butter
I really like the acknowledgement that this was obvious. I can totally see why it would be missed. This track is so monotonous, yet requires so much focus, that it's practically designed to give you tunnel vision, but you'd think it would be done accidentally at some point as well. Either way, I really like the humility in being able to admit that. It happens sometimes.
The execution of your videos are perfect man, your narrative skill is amazing, I don't play trackmania anymore but hearing it's story and evolution is heartwarming
I've never played TM but I've recently become ever increasingly interested in your videos about records and shortcuts.
man when you say "Trackmania Nations Forever" it tickles my brain🥵
Woah calm down buddy!
@Andrei Matei Lets take about 20% off there bud.
The oldest anarchy server in Minecraft..
@mandoe OMG YESYESYES ITS EXACTLY THE SAME FEELING
yeah it's literally named "forever" and yet nadeo released like 2 remakes of it already
the “record music“ always gives me goosebumps.
like even though i am not a tm fanatic at all i think everyone can appreciate the gravity of what has been achieved.
greatness touches us all, and can’t be put into disciplines. universally amazing.
Wirtual your editing gets better with every video. Loving your content, keep it up!
These visual and animations you do are amazing! Kepp up the great work!
2:03 you put the slovakian flag there but theres a slovenian flag a few frames after that lol
Here was me thinking they were going to somehow land on the inside bit and skip the track or something, not even more simple just jumping the gap in the track.
sort of magical to see how beautiful all this is.. Great vids man ! : )
I don't even play the game, but this video got me hyped. Your editing, and voice over is top notch. Keep up the great work!
Am i the only one here that never even heard of this game before and still i binge watch Wirtuals videos?
Me Too!
This game is only about driving skill...
Super fun...
@@cmbaz1140 what?
I do that as well ur not alone
Gotta love the music Wirtual/his editor uses in his videos. Chrono Trigger and FEZ have such great soundtracks. :)
this reminds me of that one guys red ball speedrunning history videos, the story telling is beyond god level, keep it up dude your trackmania videos are just great!
Yo ur actually insane like this in insane how entertaining these vids are keep the mysterious coming plsssssss
I was there. I was there. I just waited for Wirtual's video about it.
Where?
@@TheWatchernator there
New Drinking Game: watch all of Wirtual’s videos and take a shot everytime he says ‘World’s most competitive racing game’
same energy as “Oldest anarchy server on Minecraft”
I dont play or know anything abt trackmania but speedrunning stuff/ tricks are really cool to me and ive been binging your channel. Amazing content
dude i love your videos! i dont even play this game but now ive watched all your videoes! much love!!! keep it up!
I saw the new record and thought: „when will wirtual make the documentary?“
Am i the only one who thought that he was going to talk about 13 years old shortcut that was finally pulled out
not sure if you're setting up for a joke but he actually made a video on that already!
@@litapd311 i think he is talking about b03
dude, i've never even heard of this game, but your vids are so good i'm thinking about getting started because i love speedruns and seeing this community active has activated a fire
Also very cool and Calm choice of music! It’s very enjoyable. Not too much, very subtle and fits into your storytelling!!
Not only did Rollin find the shortcut, he was the fastest at running it even with the gold rush and record hunters. Impressive
Glad he could keep the record
I dont play Trackmania, i play Forza but to see what you guys do over there in the trackmania community is amazing!
the new edits are so cool, keep up the good work!
That was a fucking awesome story telling with an amazing plot twist.
I mean the build up, the music, the "no talking just enjoying" while we witness the record is... perfection
Watched your videos very often, still no Abo so far, now you got me!
Majestic!
Hey curious people! In case you don't wanna go and check, the record did at some point make a 0.03s improvement and that has been it since this video. The bigger shortcut has not been done
“The closer you get to the limit, the farther you push it away.”
I swear this guy gets drunk when he writes videos
This is great! I've always loved using launches and skips to finish tracks faster, and this is that turned up to 11
Dude those neon Tron lights behind the cars is a really cool effect. 6:36
You know it’s a good day when you see this video in your feed :)
What's funny is I thought the first shortcut idea was for sure going to be a boost off the statue.
I have watched several of your videos and I think you are one hell of a story teller! You can make the most nerdy computer game into something interesting to watch - for hours! Heck, I even downloaded the game the other week to test. I got tired of it after three days, but nevertheless, here I am again watching your videos. :-) Keep it up!
I love how you explain everything even for people (like me) that don't know much about trackmania. Great content!
"If you want to hide something, place it in most obvious place"
"the oldest anarchy server in minecraft"
"the worlds most competitive racing game"
he's turning into fittmnf
Views are staggering, amazing how many people enjoy these kind of trackmania content (amazingly put together)
hey wirtual new sub here...watching you and seeing people still play TrackMania Nations forever from 2008 is just awesome to see, im kinda glade i found your channel
Most Beautiful Shortcut i have ever seen.
Looks so legendary.
2:00 imagine putting a slovak flag for a slovenian player
Common mistake :D even some of the largest international competitions do it, or even worse, mix up the national anthems
Its a common misconception, relax
@@silverreaps6803 it's a common sarcastic joke, relax
It is clear the Norwegians are not in the Union
@@MatteoKysely right
These videos are very well done. Just started playing trackmania and its one of my favorite games atm. Also good choice choosing chrono trigger music too
One of my favorite parts of this story is how well-chosen and well-timed the music was in Rollin's reveal video.
BAMBIK - pronounced bahmbeek, in Polish it is used as the same as others would use the word noob (bad or new player)
I'm guessing it's based off bambi? Maybe?
I’m going to guess they will successfully finish it within 10 hours of releasing this
Wirtual, I've watch many of your videos on TM, but never played it. I'm not even pretending I'll ever play it, but you are such a great storyteller that it makes your videos fascinating to watch. TM must be such a great game if such a great person is interested in it and can talk about it so passionately.
I've never even played this game before but your videos are fascinating and super accessible for the lay people like me, love this stuff, keep it up my guy!
A lot of people probably would’ve tried that just for fun, just to see how high or far they could jump
the FWO team seems like the coolest one to cheer for
The visualisation of the drive lines is superb!
Please keep them
Need more of these videos and also the history on maps as a new viewer those are so fun to watch
