I just thought this would be a good idea

Nice

Just so 10000 people don't ask, here is Bowser Castle 2 shortcuts guide.

Nice. This will help a lot

Wait, but if you knew how to do DDE properly wouldnt it be faster to not hop off and respawn. Because it takes 4 secs to respawn and fall off and stuff, soo..
But if you dont do DDE that is faster.

I can snake and it takes me 4 seconds exactly to reach the start line, but in that time I sometimes fail, so I feel safer doing the shortcut.

Also, on lap 3, that cut is ALWAYS faster as it ends the race early and you don't even have to wait for respawn time.
(If you hop out you respawn at the start line, which counts the lap)

Ok, so its only good on Lap 3, because you need mushrooms

In Time Trials yes. In Online, it's good on all laps.

Ok

No, actually. If you check my run on sBC2 I do it laps 2 and 3 without mushrooms.

By the way I'm willing for people to @ me if they need any advice

That ending respawn saves about 0.2 seconds in L1 and L2 but in L3, it saves a lot of time as circuit111 explained. Also there is a faster way to do the ending respawn cut which is to turn left after you reach it and then hop. It is a little faster. I don't use that strategy as of right now since I'm used to the straight line strategy but I will use it in the future for my future runs.

Oh ok. I will look at it.

Oh this strategy works in the engine update? Cool

Broken Pier

Tip:
On Time Trials if you use a mushroom at a certain ramp you can land on a platform and do a big shortcut, saving a lot of time.
If someone has a map showing the shortcut, please add it, I don't know how. On Online you can go on the ramp next door to the TT one and do a mini turbo to get some speed and land on the platform.

Hope this will help

To add on to this, you can do an additional shortcut after the big one. Don't trick on the platform in the middle, and turn right soon after you land, then drift. Hit the first ramp, then when you've turned at least 90 degrees, release the mini turbo and trick. You should land on the other side of the gap, skipping the large 180 turn.

Yup, that as well, that is what I currently do, but once and if you have enough practice you can go onto a very faint brown bridge and skip even more of the 180 degree turn

Yeah that's right and that saves some time as well. Personally I don't use the brown bridge online because it's very risky and most of time you will just fall off instead of saving some time compared to the trick ramp strat. I only use the bridge strat for TT times in Broken Pier but other than that, nope.

No you don't, you just use the ramp on the left of the one you use for the mushroom.

All you need for it is a good angle and a mini turbo then you can do it.

Thanks to InfiNate for this.
