- First of all, sign all comments you make on talks pages with ~~~~. Second of all, it's a glitch shortcut, not an ultra shortcut. If you bothered reading this article or knowing it saves only about 2 seconds, you'd know this by now. SNES GV2 does not belong in this article.

- Sorry.And it has two parts of the shortcut,and skips more than half of the track.Perhaps you should see this: http://cleanvideosearch.com/media/action/yt/watch?videoId=_nhi6YPODpw Thanks.

- Please do not repeat your signature mistake again... Use Show Preview Button to see if you did it correctly. Also, these are 2 glitch shortcuts. Still not an ultra, because neither of them skip half of the track on their own.

Jellopuff uploaded a video of a TAS with Baby Daisy and Quacker, supergrinding, bumping at the side of the ramp and clipping into a wall in the right to get out of bounds to make a new ultra shortcut possible. Unfortunately, it was uploaded on April 1st, which created confusion whether it's April Fools or not. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaW3H6sssvE BetaBleeds (talk) 07:07, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
- Seems too much of an April Fools' Day joke. I would not add it to the page. --KantoEpic (talk) 13:32, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
Just to be accurate, how is "skipping half the track" defined? BetaBleeds (talk) 16:57, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
- I think that defined an Ultra Shortcut in 2013. Enjoy Funky Kong dancing and peace! (Talk) 21:40, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
- I went back to the article page and realised what you meant. I think it should be removed. Enjoy Funky Kong dancing and peace! (Talk) 21:43, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
- Do all ultras have some form of bypassing the first key checkpoint in them? BetaBleeds (talk) 08:21, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
- Yes. That's the point of an Ultra Shortcut. Enjoy Funky Kong dancing and peace! 05:48, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
Rainbow Road Multi-Player Ultra Shortcut
There’s also a multi-player version. Should I add that? Enjoy Funky Kong dancing and peace! (Talk) 21:40, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
This article is severely outdated
I have consulted the community about this article and the definition of Ultra Shortcut. These were the responses:
Ejay: "well first of all, it says it's "some sort of glitch",
which implies nobody really knows the technicalities behind why an ultra shortcut works (we know why it occurs)"
Ejay: "then it says "more than half the track,
we have never based ultra shortcuts off of a percentage of track skipped, this also implies that an ultra which skips 49% of the track isn't an ultra shortcut"
Ejay: "the only way to get an ultra shortcut is by skipping the first key checkpoint region whilst staying in checkpoint region 0
it's not the "most common method""
Yoshi: "smaller glitch shortcuts arent ultras
they go through all key checkpoints so that automatically rules them out"
Yoshi: "no dk summit and yoshi falls dont contain faults that follow the same patterns"
Aiden: "2012 probably referenced malleo’s “ultra” DKS tas"
Ejay: "rDS respawn has nothing to do with ultras"
I think these count as justification to update this article and "remove information". --Unsigned comment by BetaBleeds (talk).
