Firstly, whether dashes that have been used since 2014 in race events in supermario 3 are technically shortcuts or arent isn't important, because there was unfairness in judgement that has changed between hosts (bram and castiel) and a comment about said shortcuts were ignored by the latter.
Secondly, I was dashing towards the end of the map in deathrace in a supermario3 map (a map that is square shaped and therefore has a lot of small 'cuts' you can perform regardless of the cornering of the maps because there is no definable difference between dashing slightly above the void to cut the corner and doing a big dash including a wallrun like i have, they are practically the same things but mine has more dashes over the void. afterall, you cant force players to touch every platform of the map, as not the entire map was meant for reaching in a true race for a first place event and as such you also cannot enforce players to touch said map's corners as a result of the inaccuracy presented by the lack of invisible walls that prevent you from taking said diagonal 'cuts' in the map.
Unlike in the spot specified, there are other spots in the map that if you tried cutting too hard, you would hit an invisible wall, which means the intention was to prevent players from overcutting that area and forces them to stick closer to the ground area of the map.
Due to having no invisible walls and no defined difference between a small dash over the void and a large one including a wallrun, that would not be considered a shortcut (which is why its been allowed for years).
Either way, the main point is the unfairness between 2 different hosts and lack of clarity in explanation of the rules and ignorance after the 'winner' was announced.
