Indeed, it is true. We've obtained a Toad's Factory glitch run with the benefits of using Flame Runner. Now there's no more trouble having to deal with a wide turning vehicle like the Spear. Previously, the problem with using Flame Runner here was the inability to reach the earliest box cycle on lap 1 (even though it possibly would have regained the time on the cycles later in the run). However, thanks to the discovery of the new stomper strat, we were able to reach this early cycle. This in combination with the better turning of the Flame Runner for the rest of lap 1 allowed us to reach an earlier box cycle on lap 2 (and by extension, lap 3) that we weren't fast enough to reach with Spear previously. The box cycles surprisingly had perfect timing. Everything went our way...well, at least until the tractors at the end of lap 3. The tractor cycle was in the worst position, completely covering the nearest boost pad after the lake cut. To make matters worse, the other boost pad was too far away, so using it was slower than just waiting for the tractor to move out of the way. Desperately aiming for the sub, we made a new discovery. If we landed on the tractor from enough air with the right angle, we could somehow hit the boost pad from beneath it. We made use of the tractor's edge to obtain the airtime we needed. To our surprise, tricking from the bumps over the lake the way we did was the fastest way to reach the tractor's edge with this airtime. All of this made our lap 3 ending turn out the way it did. Hurray for sub 1:36!

TAS Origins, The Sequel - Red Bandanas Finds Work:
After driving around on a paper-thin rainbow for days on end, fearing that the spectacle would suddenly turn to vapor, Red Bandanas decided to stop once and for all and parked his Spear by the finish line. He was tired and his bowel wouldn't stop complaining for food. But to get food, you need money, and Bandanas needed money quick, so he obtained a well paid job at the local factory run by Big Toad. Red did not know what was made at the factory, but the procedure was to put whatever it was in these so-called 'mystery boxes' and sell them to clans in another country. The bandana ape did not want to meddle in the factory's business, so he took his role as a watch guard. The factory covered a large area that Red needed the access to in order to stop intruders from stealing the goods. Bandanas was given a Bowser Bike to quickly maneuver the tight corners of the area. Failures do not receive another chance, after all.
