Super Mario Kart - Star Cup 150cc, done small (6'24''60)

I play Super Mario Kart's third cup with a handicap. By pressing Y+A on the character select screen I shrink my racer, rendering myself slower and easily squashed by my enemies.

I complete this challenge with Bowser. I also refrain from using Mushrooms or other time-shaving items.

Koopa Beach 1: 0'55''29. The trick is to clear that final jump without skimming the deep water; that's the way to maintain top speed. Five perfect laps could hypothetically go below 52''. This attempt is far from perfect but it's acceptable
Choco Island 2: 1'09''90. Another fourth-lap mistake. I tried two different paths across the mud lake; I think the second one is faster.
Vanilla Lake 1: 0'57''25. I told you I would figure this course out. To be honest I could still improve a lot, but I was quite pleased with the last three laps in which I managed to finally carry some speed from one lap to the next. With some better route planning I could probably save several more seconds.
Bowser Castle 3: 1'39''51. Good gravy, even worse than last time.
Mario Circuit 4: 1'42''65. Koopa scared me out of my seat. Happily I kept my composure and finished this race without major mishaps.

Overall: 6'24''60. Again, I could save gobs of time from Bowser Castle 3 (any time that doesn't involve hitting walls or Thwomps would be at least six seconds better).
