The great debate: glitch or shortcut?


My saying when playing Mario Kart 64 has always been "go big or go home". Usually after I go huge i go home, thus living up to my self proclaimed name. While indeed i dangle on all 16 courses I will say that I have yet to master all the shortcuts. SHORTCUTS - not the glitches because that shit sucks. Shortcuts are high risk, high reward. Glitches are high bitch, big asshole.

You see the difference between a shortcut and glitch is this: if you can cut out half the map because you R-button over the side of the wall, or you jump into the water and the cloud dude drops you off in 1st  than that shits a glitch (i.e wario stadium, toads turnpike, lugi's raceway).

If any sort of skill level is required to cut out a portion of the map well than thats a shortcut (i.e. rainbow road, the beach). Listed below are all 16 courses (and no i didn't need to google the order cuz i see these tracks in my sleep) next to the course I have listed if its a glitch or a shortcut. There is no arguing this, only acceptance, but i am always down for a good debate.

Maybe my new saying should be: 
IF YOU GLITCH, YOUZ A BITCH. 

Ya, I like that. Use it.

In this video, the dude clearly glitches - but had he not gone all the way to the right over that jump and landed on the track on the other side than that'd be a respectable shortcut.

Wario Stadium - HUGE GLITCH

The ice one - N/A
- -
Royal Raceway - GLITCH

Bowser's Castle - N/A

cut the turn really sharp going over the jump to the left and if you land on the course your the man.
