Rainbow Road (200cc) -

July 8th, 2020. That was the day I began playing Rainbow Road. My first ever PB on the track was a 1:38.781. Fast forward 1 year, 6 months, and 10 days (559 days), and my journey is finally complete.

I started this track just with the intention of beating a friend’s time, which was 1:35 at the time. Later during my playtime, I increased my goal to American Top 10, 1:33, Worldwide Top 10, American Record, and finally World Record, which I ended up getting with a 1:33.067 on July 31st, 2020. I then set my goal to the inevitable 1:32, which I did end up getting a few weeks later, but I was beaten to being the first to achieve it by Panda.

Over the next two months, I traded hands with Panda, with him bringing the record down to a 1:32.6. Ultimately, I ended up taking it a third time and have kept it since (October 26th, 2020). From then on, I embarked on a journey to take the record down as far as I possibly could.

Even with new strats being found along the way, I never once expected another 1 second sub to be possible, but I kept at it, and eventually I proved it to be humanly possible in July 2021 after getting a 1:32.290 with 0/3 fast gliders (every successful fast glider saves .1). From there, I grinded the track on and off to see if I really had what it took to get a 1:31, and lone behold, I did.

I don’t have the will to analyze this run. All I can really say is that I am beyond overjoyed about it. I had only started playing 10 minutes prior to setting this run.

I want to thank every single person that supported me in the year and a half that I’ve been playing this track. I really did want to quit so many times, but it helped me push through and finally achieve what nobody fathomed was possible.

I can finally say I’m done with Rainbow Road for a very long time, if not forever.

For pñts ❤️
