This feels like a video made 12 years ago and despite how that sounds I actually mean it in a fondly. Your content feels transposed from its era. Lovely stuff, I hope you continue at it.
This is why I believe Double Dash is the best Mario Kart game. Sure, Wii added a ton to modern Mario Kart and has great tracks but taking the time Double Dash came out, we only had 2 2D Mario Karts and a decent and acceptable 3D one. Double Dash was a gem for its time and had great tracks, new characters, cool gimmick, and the best item roster. The only real downside is the driving physics in some situations. This game came out in the early 2000s and still holds up to this very day.
For me, I prefer Wii for its high skill ceiling and how well designed the Wii tracks are. DD is a great game but I prefer how Wii handled the competitive scene. Also, the item balance is a good improvement from DD. Even then, I think DD is really great. Im very glad to know your opinion!
@@elusivefrog Dude exactly, MK8 is fun and I can probably play it for hours, but MKWii just feels different I can't explain it. It's like something just doesn't make MK8 as fun. Lol
This late 00's style of dark room/using the camera's mic footage instead of the overproduced stylish blasé videos of now is... sooo refreshing ❤️ Disagree with some of your takes here, but fantastic video and nostalgia trip of one of my most childhood games of all time.
The driver specific items are so cool. Love the chain chomp and the giant bowser shell. I’m surprised my copy didn’t fall to dust because I played it so much.
Another cool thing that started in this MK are the items dropped on the racetrack, since it added more things to dodge (like a bob-omb from the Waluigi in front) or to look for (like mushrooms and stars). I loved to play with Yoshi or Birdo since when you threw the egg forward it exploded after some time, and you could hope to get a star on first place, which was awesome!
I recently played Double Dash for the first time. It’s honestly really fun and it’s one of my favorite Mario Kart games ever. The music, presentation, control, and arcade-like feel is just great.
I think in the case for the special items, it was good to restrict triples to just Paratroopa/Koopa. Now that you have two item slots readily available, it’s much easier to get _double_ shells as any character. If everyone had an equal chance of getting triple shells, then the game would’ve just turned into the chaos we see from MKWii and MK8DX. But I do agree that the Golden Mushroom should _not_ have been unique to Toad/Toadette. It makes sense as to why they’d get it, since I can’t think of any other mushroom item they’d benefit from, but still.
Double Dash is still the bounciest, most kinetic feeling game in the series. The simple detail of the second driver leaning into curves and bouncing when you land adds SO much to the game feel. We need a Double Dash 2!
Idk why you're making the kart selection seem so difficult. There's an obvious choice: red koopa and Diddy Kong light kart with great acceleration. Use the triple red shell when you're not in 1st place and use the big banana when in 1st place. Toad and Diddy Kong are also a good combination. I mean, you can beat the game with literally any character combination just fine, but I think the limitations kind of make sense and that's why some sets of characters have different weights like DK (heavy) and Diddy Kong (light)
Some people don't just choose the overall best karts, some like to have their own choices of their personal karts, and when that also conflicts with the limiting characters since each of them have their own special items, then it's a bit of a problem. Plus as we see in later Mario Kart games, a complete freedom of kart choices is generally better for the game overall. I understand that their are obvious meta choices that make the game easier, but it's also well know that a vast amount of the playerbase don't follow the exact best kart and character selection since everyone has their own taste and preferences for those, and limiting options between weight and somewhat character specific choices isn't exactly what I consider great game design.
@@LuigiLitoLLI get what you’re saying but it makes absolutely zero sense to think that Wario or Daisy should fit into Baby Mario’s stroller kart or Diddy’s train kart. Baby Luigi and Toad would not be able to handle driving Bowser’s kart or they would get thrown off the kart. It adds a level of realism to the game that I appreciate. It probably would’ve been better to have a kart system from DS onwards but for what DD is, I don’t see it as bad game design
12:56 My brother and I did, actually. And in their baby kart too, I think. We did Mirror All Cup Tour as them and unlocked the Parade Kart. What a moment. Just goes to show that you can prosper as any character.
I don't usually leave comments, but this time, I truly thank the algorithm for leading me to your channel. Great content, man! This was the first Mario Kart game I owned, and your video really made me want to check if the disc still works 😂
ok, i like the humorous edits, but imo they are sometimes way too loud compared to the rest of the audio. thats the one criticism id give, im very much enjoying the video otherwise 😊
I actually prefer the double dash and wii kart "limit". It makes heavy karts actually feel heavy, just look at any heavy kart in mario kart wii and double dash, then look at mario kart 8 or ds. In 8 they had to amputate bowser's tail to make him fit in the kart poor guy.
I was thinking of the rainbow road song 3 days ago and the fact you literally mention on it on the video is mind blowing. Love it and a classic throw back to my mario kart double dash and mario kart Wii and the first time I made a TH-cam account era. The golden part of TH-cam 2009/10 as they say, the new era of mario kart players need to play this and the classic og gamers need to revisit this game! Same as I with my game cube! Btw if you have those shark action replay memory cards you can actually get the option to use all Karts with any character! So you can actually see bowser on the baby stroller kart
honestly a lot of the restrictions for customization never bothered me mostly because i play both small characters (Paratroopa bowser jr top tier BABEEEY) but the only thing thst id want is allowing ditto character choices. my family fought ALL THE TIME over who got to play with a koopa also toad totally would be an unlockable because of his goldshroom and how broken it can be
I played this game for years and years as a kid. I had no idea Petey piranha and king boo were playable characters lol. You learn something new every day
I used to host video game parties a while back, and whenever we wanted to play Mario Kart, my guests almost ALWAYS picked this one (it was either this or the one on SNES). It's astonishing how well Double Dash!! not only appeals to the more casual players, but has such a deep learning curve that makes it great for people that like to dive DEEP into this game's advanced tech! Double Dash is a game for kings and it still holds up beautifully! I'm glad folks are still enjoying it, even now! Thank you for this!
I will never forgive Nintendo for not bringing back the giant koopa shell The lack of it was really felt when they brought back baby park in 8, imagine how wild 200cc would be with that thing wiping out the field every 15 seconds
There's something about your format that really encapsulates the golden era of 2010s video game review TH-cam. There's a ton of older TH-camrs I've watched that have moved onto higher production formats, but seeing plain minimally edited footage interspersed with you in front of your TV and not a pre-built setup really takes me back to their earlier days and is refreshing to see.
Don't know what to say about this. On one hand do I take it as a compliment or what since I always try to aim to have a better quality experience for my videos.
@@LuigiLitoLL what they mean to say is to maintain your videos like you currently do, since the way you present your videos have that charm from content creator's heyday from last decade.
I think the characters hold the triple shells instead of them circling your kart because otherwise you could use them, then swap characters and where would those shells go? Same with holding items behind your kart. I think that's the reason items can't be dragged.
not holding items behind also makes the game much more aggressive, and makes the game a little more frantic. i don’t feel safe when i’m holding a shell/banana like i do in other entries and i love how frantic it feels
@@elusivefrog Also if you are skilled you can destroy those items chasing you anyway or even dodge them with simple drifting. DD is fun an skill combined, compared to Wii where the clunky bikes ruined the fun.
My favorite character combo is Waluigi driving and king boo in the back with the gray pipes cart. I know it’s not the fastest character combo, but I really like Waluigi and king boo has all the items, so he stays in the back so I am more likely to get the special items
I disagree with what you said about the karts and special abilities. Boo and Petee have all specials and that is balanced out by making it rare to get the one you want and cuz they are locked to heavy karts which makes it harder to play. And the babies and toads having the best catchup items is good because new players may use the light characters first. But I wish that Mid weights can use light karts. But yeah I agree I dont like triple reds being special only, I think they should have just got a new kind of shell instead.
Greatest Mario Kart ever. My combo was Yoshi, DK and the Bowser heavy kart. Yoshi’s special egg leaves mushrooms and stars when it hits so make sure you hit the star lol DK’s special banana is a big banana that splits into regular bananas when hit & Bowser heavy cart has high speed and is virtually indestructible unless you actually get hit. Drifting thru other karts makes driving way easier and counts has a hit by just being a good driver. This combo w/ being a good Mario Kart player is unbeatable. At least for me 💯✊🏽
I remember playing coop with my little sister and fighting each other to see who drives and who slams… Btw another extra thing you had on the coop was a super cool starting boost if both players timed it correctly
Oh and locking the characters with all the specials to only be avaliable on the worst karts, balances it out a bit. and the beginner characters with the catchup special items locked to the easier handing karts makes sense imo
Double Dash is my absolute favorite, I feel it takes the most skill... I've played every single Mario Kart and it's still my favorite. Deluxe is my second favorite... my least favorite is Wii that shit was ass!
i enjoy your videos, but PLEASE work on your sound mixing. Watching your vids back to back with headphones you almost blew my eardrums about 10 times now. I get that its a joke, but I feel like youre exaggerating it. Other youtubers do the exact same without it physically hurting my ears (literally). Ill leave a sub and hope youll do it better in future videos! edit: In case you dont know what I mean, 7:17 and 9:30 would be examples
My apologies, I've been trying harder to work on my audio mixes since the complaints back on the smash retrospective, I would like to mention however that during editing I usually keep my audio level around the 60-70 level since I assume most people don't listen to full or near full volume, so It may have to do with some bias on my part. Also yeah the DK Cannon that was kinda the point, but I'll try to figure out ways on fixing it so it gives the same impact without bursting someone's ears lol.
@@LuigiLitoLL I appreciate that. I wasnt watching in full volume at all, in fact Ive been watching on 50 (youtube) and 50 (pc). Anyways keep making your vids! Im sure youre gonna figure it out
5:32 i once made a 3d model of a kart idea i had that's basicly a suitcase but its a kart its siting vertically and the character sits on it like a atv its got 4 wheels at the bottom with fenders 2 mario kart wii looking exhaust pipes at the back and a spoiler that's actually a suitcase extendable handle
@@LuigiLitoLL fair enough. Just a question I was thinking about: what do you think is the 'standard' Mario kart (the one which fits the description of the series most)? Thanks for replying btw, I really enjoyed the video.
@@finnmacleod3774 Most likely DS or Wii since those were the games that set the standard of the series in multiple ways. Every early attempt was kind of it's own thing even if they all shared a similar formula of "mario characters in go-karts using items." That's just the surface level view.
The karts limiting character selection makes sense, otherwise you'd just have all the heavier characters in the barrel train or bullet blaster. It wouldn't be balanced. Also the AI going for you specifically is a skill issue. If you're any good at the game, you're usually in 1st place regardless, and you'd be doing the same tactics in versus
It's my most played game out of the mario karts. I kicked my friends butts many times... They couldn't snake. And they thought avoiding the blue shell was cheating "no it's not! do you realise how few frames of a window i have to make that dodge?! it's RAW skill yo." i'd tell them that. Now i've been playing mario kart wii recently and i have to say it's really good. Music and tracks are excellent. I'm not a fan of the bikes' implementation, their wheelie is overpowered. And can you believe the online mode is still going strong? I got my ass whooped by an army of funky kongs on flame runners just this morning.
The fact that you can't do anything you want with your kart/character choice is literally why the system is good. Removing limitations like kart weight is a horrible idea cuz now you just enforce an unavoidable meta where you choose the 2 best special items and the 1 best kart with no room for creativity.
Hello! The algorithm led me to your channel an thanks for that! Your video is well thought out and İ love DD! Though, I prefer Wii for its competitiveness and how tense it can be, DD is still really good! Cannot wait for yout future video! Now, I will go and play more of Wii online as MKWii is my favourite game of all time.
I’ve always thought DD was by far the best game of the series and most games have felt kinda soulless by comparison. It has way more character than the others

Good high quality retrospective my friend! keep it up
Not gonna lie. That Mario intro is gonna haunt my dreams now. LOL
I remember completing all the grand prix cups in co-op mode with my sister. It was a blast.
Baby Luigi is the best Mario Kart character and Petey needs to make a return.
Loved this vid! Glad it popped up on my home page
Only 2 things prevented this from being a perfect game:
1. Not enough small characters
2. Only 16 courses
Otherwise best Kart racer ever made.
I grew up with this and Wii. And I still struggle deciding which is better.
Oh and locking the characters with all the specials to only be avaliable on the worst karts, balances it out a bit.
and the beginner characters with the catchup special items locked to the easier handing karts makes sense imo
Double Dash is an instant success to me because it introduces my boi Toadette

Now i've been playing mario kart wii recently and i have to say it's really good. Music and tracks are excellent. I'm not a fan of the bikes' implementation, their wheelie is overpowered. And can you believe the online mode is still going strong? I got my ass whooped by an army of funky kongs on flame runners just this morning.
You have more subscribers then me now. Congratulations.
The fact that you can't do anything you want with your kart/character choice is literally why the system is good. Removing limitations like kart weight is a horrible idea cuz now you just enforce an unavoidable meta where you choose the 2 best special items and the 1 best kart with no room for creativity.
Hello! The algorithm led me to your channel an thanks for that! Your video is well thought out and İ love DD!
Though, I prefer Wii for its competitiveness and how tense it can be, DD is still really good! Cannot wait for yout future video!
Now, I will go and play more of Wii online as MKWii is my favourite game of all time.
Great video
Lmao I love the Mario babies, I even have 5 of them tattooed on me
I’ve always thought DD was by far the best game of the series and most games have felt kinda soulless by comparison. It has way more character than the others
