The amazing story behind The Weathertenko
Choco Mountain is at first glance an innocuous track in Mario Kart 64. But it is infamous within the speedrunning community - and was the setting for perhaps the most impressive video game speedrun of all time.
In the video, below, YouTuber Summoning Salt recounts the history of Choco Mountain speedrunning, explaining how its initial shortcuts were discovered in the months after the game came out in 1997, and then how the track was torn apart years later when new hard-as-nails shortcuts were discovered.
The video gets really juicy when it explains The Weathertenko, "probably the craziest trick in Mario Kart 64's history".
