I came across this .gif today of a Wario player successfully jumping the gap on Rainbow Road in Mario Kart 64. If any of you are familiar with this game, you know that Nintendo likes to sneak in shortcuts on many of the different tracks. However out of all of them this one is probably the most difficult to actually pull off. On paper it seems fairly simple, you do a quick hop near the beginning of the track over the fence, and try to steer yourself towards the track floating on the other side of the abyss. If you do manage to make it, you have just pretty much guaranteed your victory, as Rainbow Road is one of the longest tracks in the game, and this shortcut lets you skip almost the whole track and puts you near the end of the first lap.
Beware though, as it is much, much harder to pull off than it looks. I usually try it every time my friends and I are playing, though much to my dismay (and their enjoyment) I never make it. The bitter irony of this whole trick is if you miss, it takes forever to be put back onto the stage, so you have pretty much guaranteed yourself last place instead of the comfortable first place lead you were hoping for.
