This video shows the Dry Dry Ruins competition / tournament from the perspective of a CPU. On this competition, the CPUs are able to reach the fastest (base) top speeds they can ever achieve in the game, being able to reach soft speed limits up to around 106.5 (see 0:51).

While CPUs are technically able to reach a few larger soft speed limits, such as 108.5, (see    • Mario Kart Wii - Fastest CPU speeds -...  ), that's on Mirror mode (which uses 150cc speeds)...
This competition takes place in *100cc*, which means that a soft speed limit of 106.5 is the equivalent of around 117.15 in 150cc (very close the 120 hard speed limit, and all of this without the needs additional boosts like wheelies, mushrooms, etc).

For this video, I am about to end the race, just behind the finish line on lap 3, while CPUs start from lap 1, in order to see how fast they are with the most human advantage possible.

This video was possible by using some cheat codes that allowed me to attach the camera to a CPU without removing the human player from the match. See the description of this video for more info:    • Mario Kart Wii - Spying on a CPU  

AIParam transcription per competition (rubberbanding and action parameters found on each competition that has those): https: //docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14MrTFf-WrXytfXwU6pr5j8C-u2Zanml33xVhUFLt1UI/edit?pli=1&gid=737924637#gid=737924637

Note that I also used the following code to avoid CPUs from hopping and taking drifts. The reason why I did that is because CPUs will briefly return to their vehicle's max speeds if they're on the air (so in this case, Bowser would go from like 100 back to 78.71 when hopping, and then from 78.71 back to 100 upon reaching the ground). Basically, I just did it so that it's easier for you to see the rubberbanding speeds without interruption:
