    My apologies to people who are sick of seeing Mario Kart videos from my channel, but I really enjoy making them. They're pretty easy to work with since I already have a decent amount of knowledge on the series. I probably won't do another one for a while, but I just wanted to let you all know why you've seen so many in the last year or so.
    This video was quite the project! I started it nearly 4 months ago, and it's really crazy how many people were able to help. I really appreciate all of you who did- you can see who they are in the intro of the video. The Mario Kart community is extremely helpful, and there's no way I'd have been able to make this without them. It was funny looking back at the start of this video in this last week I was finishing it up. The stuff from Super Mario Kart was finished all the way back in March/April, while Mario Kart 8 was just finished earlier today.
    Thanks so much for watching and supporting me! I can't wait to make more videos, and can't believe how far this channel has come.

    I just realized something. I technically "discovered" R Tech on my own way back when I played Double Dash. It wasn't cause I was any good though, just the opposite. I didn't know how to get mini turbos, but I noticed that I could drift tighter if I spammed the shoulder button. I'd use it on the corkscrew in Wario Stadium.
    If I was better at the game, I'd probably have never used it or even found it, cause I'd be able to actually use mini turbos.

      There a feeling of nostalgia for sure. I'm not a speedrunner at all but a crazy amount of my family and friends are gamers and these vidoes remind me of how we used to share glitches before the internet. Me and my cousins knew a ton of glitches and shortcuts on N64 games. Mainly Zelda, Mario kart and Mario64. We weren't experts but i still see a lot of the tricks we used in some of these vids.

      For me, not a speed runner nor played Mario Kart often (didn't have a Nintendo console as a kid, just one of my friends had a Wii), I really enjoy these videos because Summoning Salt tells it in a way that makes it feel so magical.
      It's so nice hearing the stories of how the runners figured out ways to do the seemingly impossible, only due to hard work and dedication.
      With his style, the music and the calm and yet excited voice, every part truly feels like a magical journey of heroes.
      I'm really happy about these videos :)

    Summoning Salt: “he has used speedhacks in MKWii before.”
    Me: “Thank you.”

      I've seen Summoning Salt comment on Jon Bois videos.
      Without a doubt this was a Jon Bois reference.

    The freakiest part about all this is that the narration was so good, the images were so good, and the soundtrack was so good that when I got to the end, and he started talking about effort and perseverance, my eyes watered up. I never thought I'd get emotional over Rainbow Road...

    I love these kinds of documentaries. Great video of my favorite track in the Mario Kart franchise!

    The voice and the video’s starting and ending music add a whole dimension to the video - goosebumps. 🙌
