Exploit to help with Shmoe vs. the Volcano Gate Relay (HD Versions Only)

So in the HD versions of Cel Damage they allowed the advanced movement of cars flipping and stuff (Of course its a given) but if anyone been checking it covers the gap of lava connecting the finish line and the only other gate on the map which is on the other side of the Lava i have tried the "Casual" route the shortcut under the Shmoe (Since its the only thing the map is missing) and the lava it seriously shreds the time by almost 10 seconds (if you perfectly flip each time without getting hit by the lava, not get affected by the other racers and be T.Wrecks since hes the easiest racer to do the strat when going for a run).If you do know this good on you but if you don't i very much suggest practicing this leap as its the fastest way to complete this stage.

P.S I got the whole 10 second thing from the difference from the "Casual" route and compared it to the Lava Exploit and got the best time from both its what i had not yours so keep it in mind

The first time I saw this exploit was in a YT video posted in 2015 by JamesA804, and Ayasme used this in the current IL WR of HD. Maybe you can beat his time. c:

You HD players get it easy. For my All Stages runs on Gamecube I need to do a Rocket Booster setup to do the course fast. -

Yeah im getting into speedrunning and saw his run its just nicer to see a post on it for people to get into it as fast as they can and before i attempt the run i need to find a way to record and save it :/.I really like the old version of the game looks more chaotic like the way the game is supposed to be played.

For causal play I think the OG game wins in spades, but when it comes to speedrunning it, the random deaths get old, fast. I actively take slower routes that get me out of the way of the AI to avoid losing ~5 seconds per death.
