Would like to see cus there are some very good times there, but it's in japanese so don't know if I'll find it

Maybe the mod could make a time trial section on this site too?
Here are some leaderboards for track times if anyone is interested
For Cyberscore you need to submit using a Gameboy, Gameboy Player or DS since emulators isn't allowed. Picture proof is enough: https://www.cyberscore.me.uk/game/1813
Retroachievements uses its own emulator where it keeps track of records and achievements in the game: http://retroachievements.org/Game/5127
That's good. Just remember that they might be harder to pull off against CPUs because they might use items or bump into you, but you can also practice them on arcade mode :) Hope it will help :)
Here is a playlist of the track routes I use on the different tracks to get the fastest times. If you have a better track route, just post them.

There are probably more, but it doesn't matter which one you use.
I believe that the others runners have figured out the quickest route. I haven't checked it, but I assume that they have done it. You can check "best total lap times" on records on the races that are in the grand prix and find which ones are the quickest. Then you can skip the races that take the most time.
I see that not many people are active on this forum and I have not got any times on this game either, but It's very cool to see that you are so dedicated about this game. You should definetly keep posting the things you find even though there aren't many active people on the forum.
Now with the question you asked. I think the skips in the other runs are done, because those races take less time and you probably have to get better on them to get the best time saves. I'm not sure, but I think that is why.
