Solving the Mario Kart World Knockout Rally Puzzle

We are back with predictions! Might've bit off a little more than I can chew with this one, but hey, we got to the finish line and I got to stake my claim before 1.8 released, so I'll take it! I will say, I'm much more excited to see how these thoughts all hold up in another month or two, and that I have a much higher emotional attachment to some of these connector tracks than I did before this project, and I imagine that even if there is a lot of variance with my predictions, that there will still be a lot of overlap when the actual thing drops. If the takeaways are interesting enough, I'll make sure to follow up! Predictions start a half hour in, if you just want to skip to them. You will be missing the context we're working with though, just a warning! Anyways, I apologize to Nintendo for ever suggesting that they should make 48 of these things. I get it now. 😅 Full Uninterrupted Rallies (Spoilers, obviously):    • Knockout Tour Predictions Full Rallies   0:00 Prediction Predicaments 1:06 Rally Statistics 11:48 Map Reading 15:59 High Probability Starting Points 22:04 Low Probability Eliminations 25:51 Closeout Tracks / Fun Factor 29:07 Rally Disclaimers 32:46 Rally #1 39:26 Rally #2 44:23 The Cut Idea 48:24 Rally #3 51:12 Rally #4 57:21 The Final Push 1:06:12 Rally Names 1:11:08 Finishing Off The Rookcord:   / discord   ♪ Mount Volbono ♪ Rogueport Sewers
