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.

I'm just proud that I as a child, 20 years ago, discovered the shortcut on rainbow road on my own. I was playing with the jump button and thought it was funny how you could hover the entire downhill section right after the start. And then I just tried to jump over it, to the left. I didn't make it the first time, but I came close to a piece of road and then I kept trying until I made it and beat all my friends on that track :D

I discovered your channel just a couple of months ago but I've found so much comfort and inspiration in these videos. Hearing those recurring music tracks, connecting the dots between returning speedrunners across multiple videos, it's obvious you've made something all your own on a topic you possess great knowledge of. Keep doing what you're doing.

@billfred9411 5 жыл бұрын
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 :)
