Hey everyone, I appreciate you checking this video out! If you're interested in hearing my brief thoughts on Mario Kart World, you can find that video here! - https://youtu.be/jxIZsxU-vSM

for super mario kart, it was actually revealed that the identical tracks aren't because of hardware limitations. it was because of the strict time schedule the devs were placed under.

25:51 "It's just odd that this game didn't introduce anything new, whatsoever."

Bobomb was introduced in Double Dash, not 64. Just had to clarify.
You may have confused it with the bomb kart, where players that are defeated in battle mode become driving bombs which I totally forgot existed until this very moment.

Neat thing about MK8 Mario Circuit is that it isn't just a figure 8, it's actually a mobius strip.

8 Deluxe is the ultimate mario kart, and pretty close to being the complete mario kart. can't wait to see more.

Kudos for getting this massive project done, man! And thanks for inviting me to be a part of this :)

The recommended page has blessed me with this masterpiece

My favorite thing about the series is how you can play casually against racers, or you can join the discords and play against racists.

I remember thinking that mkds was so good looking and when i switched to mk7 i was blown away on how detailed it was. It’s so weird looking back after playing mk8 for years

Time for a long clarification of how drifting works in Mario Kart DS, and what "Snaking" is supposed to mean.

So in Mario Kart DS, the drifting isn't based on how long you hold down the drift but rather it builds up whenever you change you drift direction. In this game, you could hold down a drift in one direction for a literal whole decade and you still wouldn't be given a speed boost. Rather, you need to alternate your steering in order to build up a boost. To pull it off successfully, simply hold down right trigger and a directional input to start the drift (in this example, we are drifting right). Your drift will be dust clouds, and no speed boost is rewarded for releasing R. While you are drifting and holding right, switch your directional input to left for a little bit, enough that the character animation changes to them leaning the other way, and then return back to holding right. You should immediately receive a blue spark on your kart. Releasing the miniturbo at this point will NOT reward you with a speed boost unlike in later entries. To build up to the next level of miniturbo, simply repeat the process of holding right, pressing left for a bit, and then return to holding right once the left leaning animation completes. This will turn your blue miniturbo into a red/orange miniturbo. At this point in the drift, releasing R at any point will reward you with a minor boost of speed, the length of which is determined by your kart and character's stats with heavy characters generally receiving a tremendously pitiful millisecond long boost and lighter character receiving a boost that can last up to a second or so. It is possible to pull off a full miniturbo within less than a second if you can time your inputs right, but pressing the D pad too quickly will result in your character just flailing around in the kart.

The term "Snaking" as is described in this video, does not refer to the process of pulling off a successful drift, but rather "Snaking" is the term used to describe a series of rapid fire drifts along a straightaway in order to maintain a near-infinite mini turbo boost while still driving in a relatively straight line.

This series means so much to me. The memories of playing MKDS and WII with friends for hours and hours. Then MK7 and 8 came out and we relived some of those memories, and to this day I still play those games. But when playing there's an unignorable feeling that those days will never come back, and the memories will forever be stored inside the games, but you can't just relive them. It's kinda of a bittersweet feeling

Mario Kart 64's battle mode also has the bob-omb thing when a player is eliminated just like the GBA game.

Man the most memorable track on DS for me was waluigis pinball. The soundtrack, the visuals, the giant pinballs. It truly is a masterpiece

Ooh yeah and my favourite battle mode map was definitely the big Cake map. It was the most chaotic and fun one imo. And you could even boost and jump through the middle

Fantastic job with this enormous retrospective man! This video is terrific, and was such a fun watch that brought back tons of great memories for me. It's so cool to see the entire series covered like this. Seeing how it evolved over time and hearing your thoughts on each game was super enjoyable. I can imagine how much time and effort you put into this just from the runtime alone, and it totally paid off. Mario Kart is special, and you totally captured that! Glad to have been a small part of it!

This was an amazing retrospective video. Thank you!

"We yet have kamik to be a playable character" (however you spell it)

MK8 Deluxe rn: Wave 5🔥

Notes for MK8D: Diddy Kong, Funky Kong, and Wiggler (a wacky addition to MK7) was added (albeit paid DLC). Therefore, the only “negative” about the game has now been removed!

Okay, when playing the original Super Mario Kart, you have to learn to hop in and out of turns. That is how you can avoid drifting through turns. Hop into the turn, then hop back out on the straightaways.

People need to realize that Double Dash's co-op mode is FANTASTIC if you're playing with a kid or someone really unskilled. I used to play it as a kid with an older cousin so I speak from experience
