The last eight months have been a wild ride in Mario Kart 64. A revolution sparked by Forest64 has led to new or improved shortcuts on nearly every course in the game. It’s been an amazing experience to be involved in and I’ve enjoyed collaborating with Forest64. Lately I’ve been on a break from shortcut hunting and focused more on micro optimizations for non-shortcut strategies, where savings of even a frame due to new strategies can be significant. Check out a new major strategy that I found in this video. Thanks to Forest64 for suggesting that this corner may be interesting to look at for non-sc (because the WR strategy already jumps over an out of bounds section, how far could it be pushed?).
Here is the micro500 Twitch video I referenced that inspired Forest64 and the shortcut revolution that started in August of 2020.
I guess this game wasn't broken enough, i can't wait to see what people will do with this!
Damn Weatherton, how did u get that many degrees in Mario Kart??

Great video, Drew. I'm expecting a Drew merchandise store soon with all this high-production content being uploaded!
This whole quarantine has really given us more time to explore new strats, huh? Nice finds as always!
Can’t wait to see how this’ll be applied for new world records! This is seriously amazing stuff
Appreciate hearing this kind of detail on what's possible. Keep them coming!
I find the technical side of mk64 to be very interesting, I’ll probably watch anything related to that!
Great video dude
Can't wait to see Matthias and Dan duke it out again 😛
It is so weird how this wasn't found earlier haha
Mario Kart Science is so hot right now…
Great production — happy to see you evolving the weatherton brand
Speedrunning is better because you've dedicated so much time to this game, thanks Drew.
really fantastic video honestly. shocking how much progress is being made in all areas of this game so many years after it's release. excited to see what other crazy stuff you and forest come up with
great video! thank you
Drew, I wanna thank you and Forest for all the amazing work last year, pushing the level of play and understanding of the game far beyond it was. I am a huge fan of your work thru out the years and the community love you both as much as our favorite karters.
Hyped to see all the possible improvements you can squeeze from the tracks and I would 100% watch a video of your history on mk64 since the good old days till now. Stay safe bruh.
I'm so excited to see this vid
I thought dk was gonna be the new meta lol
I cant wait to see what the community will do with this! Very generous of you and demonstrates the competitive yet collaborative nature of speedrunning.
