Even then, the player must be in the proper checkpoint region of the track or else it will not count. In a history lesson on Mario Kart Wii's ultra shortcuts, Summoning Salt explained that this particular shortcut is near impossible to complete because it requires a very precise "spin drift" move and the use of mushrooms at the right time to make it to the other side.

Rainbow Road had always been one ultra shortcut that many deemed impossible to perform – until now. There are more than 15 ultra shortcuts in Mario Kart Wii, most of which gamers have found and achieved over the years. These mechanics, which still exist today, became known as "ultra shortcuts" and often require special Mario Kart items like mushroom packs to complete. When Mario Kart Wii was released back in 2008, it came with some unusual mechanics that allowed players to make precise jumps around certain tracks and cut to the finish line early without the game flagging it as cheating or going the wrong way. This was one of Mario Kart Wii's many ultra shortcuts with a very low chance of success.
In an insane play that took five years to finally pull off, a streamer jumped the track and completed a lap within seconds. A French gamer achieved the near-impossible this week: he successfully used a shortcut in Mario Kart's infamous Rainbow Road track.
