The idea is very simple: finish a certain amount of tracks without pressing R or ZR, which means: no drifting, no jump boosts and no hops. You can actually still drift by simply turning the L sitck sharply, but it's much difficult. To avoid accidental ZR or R presses, disable the buttons on the Switch configurations menu. It's very stupid I know. (reposted here becuse people told me)

Edit: Just did a run of the Mushroom Cup, 150cc, Items and got an 10:47

Also here are the base rules: Must not press the R or ZR buttons Timer starts when you press OK on the track or cup selection menu If you are playing on the category with items, you can play on a Grand Prix.

VS Mode rules:

No Teams Normal Items if playing on the Items category Hard COM All vehicles In order

fun fact: one long-time community member, Bayesic, has a series on youtube where he tries to beat staff ghosts in time trials without r/zr

I would love if Hairy% became a thing
