The funniest part is that this was the game the developers actually said was the most balanced out of every Mario Kart game so far. So there's some food for thought.
I could be wrong about this but I think in this game they give you items based on how far away you are from the person ahead of you. It doesn't seem to matter what place you are in.
its impossible not to watch Stephen. I find myself constantly wanting to see what he's talking about even when I'm watching Mal, and have already watched Stephen once already. but then again I'm on team Stephen. I just watch the videos twice so I can see things from Mal's prospective as well.
That last race was intense! Stephen fought like hell to make up for his derping around earlier, and it paid off! Just barely paid off! Great work, Stephen! You really earned that victory! You tied the game! Now, next episode, be in front of Mal for the second time this LP!
Music Park is an awesome track. But Yoshi's Valley...Yoshi's Valley man. I didn't think anybody could dislike that course :D haha, oh well. It's a classic to me and one of my all-time favs.
1:55 "You got bombed underwater; that's the worst kind." You actually have no idea how right you are, Stephen! The Mythbusters have demonstrated that, when you're underwater, explosions are much more devastating than when you're in the air. The water carries the ripple effect much better than air does, so even if it's a teeny-tiny blast that, under normal conditions, would only inflict flesh woulds, if you were underwater, would actually rupture your lungs, and in about 24 hours, you would drown in your own blood! I taught you something new, today, didn't I?
I vote that if Stephen and Mal end up tied yet again after Mario Kart 8, they should just bite the bullet and do Super Mario Kart. True it's hard as balls, but they've done every other console MK, so they might as well do it lol
Sorbet /sɔrˈbeɪ/ is a frozen dessert made from sweetened water with flavouring (typically fruit juice or fruit purée, wine, and/or liqueur). Sherbert is another name for sorbet.
Stephen/Mal, just a tip. Whenever you get a coin item and you have 10 coins, save the coin in case you get hit by something. That way you can easily get back 2 coins that you lost. You should only use coins when you are already maxed out to get another item box.
Spoiler warning 12:43-14:24 Stephen drives into the grass Stephen gets hit by a bommerang Stephen gets hit again and falls off the cliff Stephen gets MAD Stephen gets a golden mushroom Stephen somehow gets a star in 3rd Stephen somehow gets a crazy eight in 2nd Stephen is happy Definitely should be a memorable moment
Aww, this version of Yoshi Valley spoils your placings. That's too bad, that was something I really loved about the N64 course - one course where you had no idea what place you were in.
Stephen got Mario Kart 64 items in terms of stupid ratio: Got a star on third, got a crazy 8 on second. Then gets triple mushrooms on second. I wonder if Stephen learned Emile's secret arts of stupid luck...
Spoler warning: If you have not watched the video before reading this comment, then do so. If you don't then you fail, as this comment will include the result that was reached in today's video, and you will know what happens before you've seen it, and it will be ruined for you. Also, if you do read this comment there is a very rare likelyhood that King Boo will haunt you for the remainder of your life. In fact, you shouldn't have even read this whole spoiler warning, because, by this point, any possible ads should be to the point where you can just skip to the video, unless it's one of those stupid ads where you have to watch the entire thing, which should be only 15 seconds, and by the time you finish reading this warning, it should be done, unless you read pretty quickly, in which case I applaud you for your literary abilities. You have been warned. Stephen has tied the score. With the battle mode now confirmed, there are 2 chances remaining. All possibilities have a 1/3 chance of happening.
Peyton Pearce Yes to the first, but the second was true back when there were hundreds of possibilities, but now that there are only 9 remaining, and there are only 3 possible outcomes, it's not actually that difficult. For example, a Stephen win overall would need either 2 wins from him, or 1 win and 1 tie. There is only 1 possibility where Stephen wins 2 times, and there are two in which he wins 1 and ties 1.
bensupermario That's the purpose of how long the spoiler warning is. I don't want that much being just empty space. The warning itself is 16 lines, compared to the rest of the comment, which is 3.
Stephen... every time you play this game, I BEG YOU TO SHUT YOUR FREAKING MOUTH!!! (Spoilers follow) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ You won, but only when you had stopped being cocky and lost all hope.
Before I watch the video, if Mal takes this then she basically wins overall unless Stephen wins the last cup and the battle mode, which would once again tie the scores.
(spoilers) Wowwww, Mal got no luck on this lol. Blue shell + red shell one after another in one of the courses and then Stephen gets a golden mushroom, crazy 8, star and triple mushrooms in the final race. MK 8, what logic do you use?!
Well, it can be a long term investment. There are many great games on the 3DS, and the device is still early in its lifespan, so there will be many many more great games to come for it, which means in the long run, they would make profit on the investment.
Yes but I f they wait until the equipment is more common and cheaper, it would make more sense, plus I doubt as a teacher, and TH-camr that they make all that much money.
You can tell Stephen was an only child, getting caught screen peaking ends badly and hes lucky it didn't end badly for him
The funniest part is that this was the game the developers actually said was the most balanced out of every Mario Kart game so far. So there's some food for thought.
4:16 Little did past Stephen know, that in 2018 he'd be obsessed with sherbet
I feel like the entire last half of this episode could be a memorable moment. "I FLEW INTO A TRUMPET, MAL!!"
I could be wrong about this but I think in this game they give you items based on how far away you are from the person ahead of you. It doesn't seem to matter what place you are in.
***** I really hope that never happens especially the bullet bill in first place.
***** you never get blue shells in first place either... What's your point?
Team Waluigi gets a solid 2nd place!!!:)
instablaster
"I flew into a trumpet Mal" Oh my god I lost it when he said that lol
look how well Stephen can do in Yoshi Valley when he pays attention and doesn't go literally the slowest path possible :L
has anybody else been watching Stephen's screen but been voting for Mal?
its impossible not to watch Stephen. I find myself constantly wanting to see what he's talking about even when I'm watching Mal, and have already watched Stephen once already. but then again I'm on team Stephen. I just watch the videos twice so I can see things from Mal's prospective as well.
11:01 I flew into a trumpet. How often do you get to say that?
Stephen, items in mk8 are based on how far you are from the next person in front of you, not your overall standing, thats why you got the crazy 8
That last race was intense! Stephen fought like hell to make up for his derping around earlier, and it paid off! Just barely paid off!
Great work, Stephen! You really earned that victory! You tied the game! Now, next episode, be in front of Mal for the second time this LP!
Music Park is an awesome track. But Yoshi's Valley...Yoshi's Valley man. I didn't think anybody could dislike that course :D haha, oh well. It's a classic to me and one of my all-time favs.
Not only does Stephen hate Proton Jon, he apparently hates NintendoCaprisun......
Those giant music notes with smirky faces that hop on the road in Music Park XD
hey stephen if you keep on taping the item button with piranha plant it will keep chomping
Just imagine the face cam for that entire Yoshi Valley run. XD
I swear at the end of yoshi valley, Stephen went super saiyan! That was hilarious!
10:11-11:10 Memorable Moment plz. Oh my goodness Stephen, right after your buddy saved you.
Mal's downfall is always the fact that she runs into banana peels that are right in front of her in plain sight. :P
1:55
"You got bombed underwater; that's the worst kind."
You actually have no idea how right you are, Stephen! The Mythbusters have demonstrated that, when you're underwater, explosions are much more devastating than when you're in the air.

I taught you something new, today, didn't I?
Today's nightmare fuel brought to you by Mythbusters. Exploding things in the name of science since 2003.
Stephen......
You're not you when you're hungry.
NOOO MAL IT CAN'T ALL FALL APART HERE
The funny thing is (Spoilers)
If Stephen hadn't pulled it together at the end there they wouldn't have unlocked the last cup.
The Gold Mushroom of Hope!
we have a memorable momment here
THANK YOU! I'm not the only one who thought Yoshi Valley's design was terrible!
This situation is the EXACT SAME as when it was near the end of the retro cups of Mario Kart Wii!!!!!
Yoshi Valley is one of my favorite courses!
Stephen tends to be his own worst enemy.
LIMIT BREAK! Stephen's Rage attack begins!
12:35 - 13:24
Memorable Moments.
I vote that if Stephen and Mal end up tied yet again after Mario Kart 8, they should just bite the bullet and do Super Mario Kart. True it's hard as balls, but they've done every other console MK, so they might as well do it lol
At 8 50 when stephan had the fireflower and said kill everyone that should be a memorable moment
fun fact those pirahnas in that one course's hit radius is where the light is as long as you're far enough away from it they can't get you
You guys should do a similar thing to this for smash bros, building up to the 3ds/WiiU versions. Every single stage.
Yes! Go Stephen! I've been rooting for you since the first episode!
Stephen thank you for still letting us know what is going on on screen with the gamepad in the background.
8:43-8:55 Memorable Moment!
I don't think I've ever heard Stephen say he's pissed off.
8:45-8:53 - Memorable Moments: "FIRE FLOWER OF DEATH".
SPOILERS:
ProtonJon won
Now need a "Food = Good Mario Kart" Shirt! x)
@7:56 what is that map called
In 64 hitting the big egg with a star makes it pop.
Stephen: one of the extremely few people who can truthfully say "I flew into a trumpet"
8:12 'Go Toady Go!' Toady isn't a racer in this game... Toady is the propeller-Kamek thingy from the Yoshi series.
"I ran into a Trumpet Mal! I RAN INTO BALLS MAL!!" XD
Geez, Stephen! Don't ever scare me like that again.
Sorbet /sɔrˈbeɪ/ is a frozen dessert made from sweetened water with flavouring (typically fruit juice or fruit purée, wine, and/or liqueur).
Sherbert is another name for sorbet.

Spoiler warning
12:43-14:24
Stephen drives into the grass
Stephen gets hit by a bommerang
Stephen gets hit again and falls off the cliff
Stephen gets MAD
Stephen gets a golden mushroom
Stephen somehow gets a star in 3rd
Stephen somehow gets a crazy eight in 2nd
Stephen is happy
Definitely should be a memorable moment
stephen went super saiyan at the last track there
Wario Stadium was Also in Double Dash!!
SO much Mario Kart happened to Stephen on this video. Holy crap.
Thats insane a star in 3rd, a crazy 8 and triple mushroom in 2nd place, talk about luck. Come on Mal beat him in this last course!
Lol you guys... It's called the Crazy 8 for a reason. It's crazy, you can get it no matter what place you're in.
Music Park is called Melody Motorway in the European version of the game. I like that name better. :P
Wow Stephen that came reaaaaaally close near the end, good victory Stephen, you can win this!
Aww, this version of Yoshi Valley spoils your placings. That's too bad, that was something I really loved about the N64 course - one course where you had no idea what place you were in.

This video's winner was EXTREMELY lucky.

***** laziness annoys more people
Stephen, you can evade the blue shell by using a mushroom right before it strikes. Hope this helps you to beat Mal!
12:24 That's a noise.
memorable moment 8:49 stephen the homicide
Stephen... every time you play this game, I BEG YOU TO SHUT YOUR FREAKING MOUTH!!! (Spoilers follow)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ You won, but only when you had stopped being cocky and lost all hope.
Elmir2279 I enjoy difficult courses. obviously there is going to be a difference in opinion but I don't want my hand to be held.
Your co-commentary works even better now that we can see your faces! :D
10:10 - 10:57 Memorable Moments.
Go team Mal! Beat Stephen on the next cup so you are guaranteed to at least tie with him!
The Sherbert Land music is SOOO CUTE. ^_^
I'm pretty sure what item you get is mostly random so it's actually not that strange that you get good items.
The thing in Double Dash was a solid wall rather than an enemy.
steven, you should do what you did with SSBB, where you have guest do races with you
Yes, Stephen still has a chance! Team Stephen is still alive!
Yoshi Valley is my favorite course in Mario Kart 8
I gave this video a "like" even though Stephen lambasted one of my favorite courses.
Luigi Death Stare at 15:30
Hey, now Yoshi Valley knows what place you're in!
What will happen if they both tie at the end? Will this continue of Mario Kart 9? ;)
Super Mario Kart. It's the only way. The first game as the final challenge.
I hope this will be a reacquiring LP every time a new Mario Kart comes out. the competition is awesome.
8:44 - 8:52 memorable moment
Before I watch the video, if Mal takes this then she basically wins overall unless Stephen wins the last cup and the battle mode, which would once again tie the scores.
I'm pretty sure the difference between ice cream and sherbet is that sherbet is fruit flavored. (ex. strawberry)
StephenPlays To answer your question about sherbet, it's kind of like frozen yogurt.
Will it be another tie?
(spoilers)
Wowwww, Mal got no luck on this lol. Blue shell + red shell one after another in one of the courses and then Stephen gets a golden mushroom, crazy 8, star and triple mushrooms in the final race. MK 8, what logic do you use?!
Mario Kart 8, the game that challenges friendships...
i'm calling it right now they might tie it and that whould be the funniest thing ever
Mal knows her instruments. +1
this could either end in a win by two points at this point or a tie
You guys should hold a tournament whenever you have time :3
I think Steven doesn't like Yoshi valley because he takes one of the more slower paths, i honestly love the map
As long as Mal wins sometime in the next races, just once, she could lose the remainder and tie Stephen.
Stephen you need some sherbet.
If you two tie again in Mario Kart 8, you guys need to try and do the hand helds.
That would require equipment that they don't have. And that equipment is EXPENSIVE.
well, they if they want to do multiple DS let's plays, then, they can think of it as an investment.
It may be an investment but to play together and show both screens is almost 600 dollars
Well, it can be a long term investment. There are many great games on the 3DS, and the device is still early in its lifespan, so there will be many many more great games to come for it, which means in the long run, they would make profit on the investment.
Yes but I f they wait until the equipment is more common and cheaper, it would make more sense, plus I doubt as a teacher, and TH-camr that they make all that much money.
The piranha plant does the lords work
Stephen always gets the crazy 8. Come on Mal you can beat him!
Like Mal, I'm a band geek and I LOVE Music Park!
I always Golden Corral before Mario Karting.
Ya, the item thing was super broken in this one. Mal should have totally taken that. Oh well, that's part of Mario Kart!
video favivoreted for yoshis valley
