Mario Kart Wii’s Rainbow Road Ultra-Shortcut

During one of Twitch streamer ArthurMKW’s live broadcasts while playing the Mario Kart Wii, he successfully completed the Rainbow Road ultra-shortcut. Because of this, history appears to have been made as many players have attempted to complete it for years of playing.

Twitch streamer ArthurMKW has become the first player to complete the skip in a real-time game. During the stream, he was trying out some different shortcuts and tactics but after several attempts, he managed to successfully land across the jump and reached the finish line in no time. These ultra shortcuts take patience to learn and serious skill to execute, and some are nearly impossible.

years ago, a player also managed to showcase the shortcut in a tool-assisted run. Since then, the shortcut has been known and players have been attempting to do the same as they have spent hours practicing. Twitch streamer ArthurMKW appears to have finally proven that the skip is possible in a real-time run of the map. This will likely inspire many other players to go out and try their luck at the shortcut once again.
