Baby Daisy-Quacker does have some niche ultra shortcut options due to the shaping of the bike granting unusual collision behaviour for clipping and wallrides. However, the difficulty of pulling off ultras in a live race setting outside of time trials, not to mention that ultras are typically banned in PvP online racing mean that Funky Kong-Bowser Bike or Daisy-Mach Bike are the two meta combinations.
That said, if you still want optimization, but want to avoid the top tier pick, Daisy on Mach Bike is often chosen due to being only slightly slower, while making up for it with a tighter drifting circle/radius, allowing her to take sharper turns. That said, like this clip suggested, there are pros and cons to just about every combo in tbis game. Play what you want
I always used Rosalina+ Shooting Star Bike. But it's mainly because Rosalina is awesome and luma is cute af, and It's a nightmare to unlock her if you don't have a save-file of Mario Galaxy which I didn't.
im the wii wheel (motion control) guy. i never used stick controls. i always use motion and people are sometimes surprised at how well i can control my movement specially on custom tracks that arent made with motion controls in mind
@@ciclon5682 you still play MKWII ? I know how to hack my Wii but I don’t know how to hack it to play custom tracks and stuff. A long time ago I was in a regular lobby and “Mr. Bean” took it over and somehow I was playing custom tracks. I will never forget that.

I only use Funky because he is cool as hell. I mean, as of the date this comment was written, not a lot of games have him as a playable character, so take every chance you get to play as him.
Shyguy is my guy, man. I love it when his little nubs for arms flail around when he wins. And I do a pretty good impression of his voice to taunt other players when I pass them.
@@ecciq oh yeah to unlock shy guy you have to eat your Wii for dinner then use funky Kong flame rider in Mario kart 8 deluxe to unlock shy guy in Mario kart wii
one thing you didn't mention(probably because it's pretty advanced and you probably know it but I'll tell you anyways) is that since funky Kong has a +4 in speed, he is the only character who doesn't lose his drift on light off-road with the flame runner, making it an amazing combo, especially for shortcuts
@Lexin That’s just false. I still play this game today and I can tell you for a fact that this isn’t true. True Off Road is what slows your vehicle down, like grass, deep sand etc. Unless your vehicle has an off road stat of of 50 (maximum for the bar on the stat screen is 80) or more, it cannot drift off road No heavyweight in the Bowser Bike can reach any level of off road that will allow it to drift off road - the best you can get is Dry Bowser on the Bowser Bike, who has +6 off road, and even then this puts the Bowser Bike at a measly 27 out of 80. If you want an example of where a character can make a difference in this area, let’s look at Birdo, who amongst her other bonuses, grants a +3 to off road. The Royal Racer (Daytripper in US) has a off road stat of 48. If we put Diddy Kong in this vehicle and try and drift off road, it won’t do it, because he doesn’t grant any off road bonuses. Meanwhile, attempt it with Birdo - she’ll drift off road with it because it goes up to 51 with her bonuses.
Funky Kong is a popular character from the Donkey Kong video game series. He is known for his upbeat attitude, cool style, and wide array of useful gadgets. Many players enjoy using him because of his distinct personality and helpful abilities.
Funky Kong also has a very slight off-road bonus, which helps in tracks like N64 Sherbet Land, thus making him a little more consistent online than some other heavies.
dude that outro is so refreshing, i’m so used to hearing “THIS CHARACTER IS ABSOLUTELY BROKEN” or “if you’re not suing this character, or this strategy, you’re doing everything erring”
Ghost can punch hard. I heard of a big man going to a haunted house to record ghosts. The ghost pushed him so hard on the ground and it broke his camera and everything he was carrying. He even threw up too. Ghosts got the strength of the unknown.
Same goes for daisy, I believe she has the same speed stat while also having access to middleweight vehicles such as the mach bike, which has much better control while drifting.
I always enjoyed toad the most for online play. High acceleration and off road stats because it's completely random. I've been in those 9900+ vr lobbies and was winning often with toad. Back in my day, we didn't care about stats that much
I really wish that they would show the stats. What’s the point of having different character traits if the only people who know about them are the ones who go out of their way to look them up?
I always used to use Waluigi with the offroader when I still played the game. The extra acceleration helps with recovery after being hit by an item, and the drift stat is always good for mini-turbo sections of maps.
I remember being Baby Luigi/quaker and being surrounded by Funky Kongs and Daisy's online back then. Honestly, it makes it much more satisfying on the off chance i won first place against them. XD
Fun fact: bowser on the spear is actually faster than funky kong on spear. It’s just that the spear isn’t that good at turning and as such isn’t commonly used
Funky Kong Is the waluigi-wiggler of Mario kart Wii
Definitely! But he might honestly be even more broken
*Funky Kong Flame Runner but I get you fulky
And the Metal Mario, B-Dasher, Monster and Paraglider.
No. Waluigi is the Funky Kong of Mario Kart 8. Funky Kong Combo was way before Waluigi Wiggler. So don’t disrespect the Goat.
@@B_MASTER645See that's one I never see getting talked about
Baby daisy actually has a +6 speed stat, but funky kongs heavyweight status allows him to use faster vehicles
Why?
@C Penner beats me. Baby daisy is just built different i guess

I agree.
Daisy is the goat of Mario Kart.
Daisy Is the second alternative if you Need less Wright to do higher jumps or shortcuts, while having High Speed stats
The pain that I went through online as Luigi, it was unbearable.
Most important reason: he says *"OLOELOELOELEOELEOEY"*
LOL
Lmao I can literally hear this comment 😂
The temptation to say it when you past someone while gokarting
Not to mention that his throw is good. Goes straight ahead, instead of throwing from the side.

He's Funky Kong.
The end.
Funky Kong also has +4 off road so he can drift in certain types of offroad which is super important
he doesn't know
He also doesn't know that Bowser has +3 in drift too.
Weight is also one of the most important stats in the game. (#1 being speed)
Getting bumped is EXTREMELY unforgiving. Especially if you're on a bike.
I only use Funky because he is cool as hell. I mean, as of the date this comment was written, not a lot of games have him as a playable character, so take every chance you get to play as him.

@@kenrickkahn that's why I added "as of the date this comment was written"
Not anymore
Daisy + Mach the goated combo besides funky flamerunner
Always picked it over Funky Flamerunner. Was a little bit slower, but had much higher drift. It was harder to use, but it felt funnier in my hands
Daisy + Sprinter 🤡
Bowser/Rosalina flame runner > Daisy Mach bike

The Big Mii character is actually pretty good (+3 to speed and drift), makes them a good alternative on windy tracks and higher CCs
The best thing about this meta is that funky Kong is the most epic character to ever exist so it doesn’t feel unhealthy to use him.
Why I use funky Kong: he looks cool
Funky Kong: I am speed
Blue shell: cool story bro
He's the Wii equivalent to Mario Kart DS's "The person who picks Wario will automatically win".
The thing is i loved playing funky kobg playing as a kid before people spammed him. His voicelines were so fun.
You forgot to add in why he always runs Flame Runner
People who don’t have Funky Kong : You can also use Daisy with Mach Bike as Medium Weight.
He's like the easiest character to unlock lmao
You can also use Bowser and Rosalina on the flame runner.

Yes! He has a +3 in Off Road as well!
@@SmasherLex exactly. With speed+off-road combined he can drift in off-road 👌
Yo didnt even know that

I hope Funky gets added to 8 Deluxe as the last character (and is still broken) so we can relive the glory days of the Wii.

I'd like to see more shorts like this
They aren’t actually secret. They are just kinda small and apply to characters so not many casual players notice it.
Funky Kong also has a very slight off-road bonus, which helps in tracks like N64 Sherbet Land, thus making him a little more consistent online than some other heavies.
Dry Bowser isn’t a terrible option either, having strong off-roading and looking cool as hell on a flame runner.
Exactly, I love playing as Dry Bowser in Wii
Truly the most badass Kong I've ever known
It’s the straight shell throws that make him a go to for me
As a Funky King main, I can confirm this is true
Funky Kong? More like, *"Gangsta Kong"* !
Daisy with the mach bike !!!
legit my go to lol or rosalina
@@GG-yr1gq same I love Rosalina as a funky kong alternative but it feels like she does a million backflips if she hits a single banana lol

You don’t win mario kart Wii with speed, you win with luck and hope that 3 blue shells don’t ram your ass on the last lap.

I have never ever used funky kong in Mario kart wii
I always play with Rosalina and bullet bike.
Sir that combo does not exist
funky kong is the melee fox of mkwii.
I remember thrashing Funky Kongs with just Luigi's classic kart. It's all about the skills, and luck from the boxes as well
Like basically it brings you nothing to have the best stats If you dont know how to perform
Funky Kong isn't the only fastest character, Daisy also has 4 speed, but she's not a heavy character
I just use him because he reminds me of the cool uncle that'll let you do stuff your parents won't let you do.
dude that outro is so refreshing, i’m so used to hearing “THIS CHARACTER IS ABSOLUTELY BROKEN” or “if you’re not suing this character, or this strategy, you’re doing everything erring”
And the fact that he’s Funky Kong - The Best!
"it's actually pretty simple."
Me: "memes."
Him: (explains without memes)
Me: D:
Because he’s the best dk character and he doesn’t get any love.
I like waluigi because I love the guy as a funny character, and I have a very drift heavy play style so I beat out even the funkiest of Kongs
OK but can we talk about how King Boo is a heavyweight?
King Boo. A ghost that has no matter and weighs nothing... Is a heavyweight?
Ghost can punch hard. I heard of a big man going to a haunted house to record ghosts. The ghost pushed him so hard on the ground and it broke his camera and everything he was carrying. He even threw up too. Ghosts got the strength of the unknown.
INCORRECT STATEMENT
it’s because funky Kong is funky Kong which in turn means funky Kong is funky Kong
Nice HD graphics, did you use dolphin emulator?
Yes! For offline videos I use dolphin, but for online play I use console.
Same goes for daisy, I believe she has the same speed stat while also having access to middleweight vehicles such as the mach bike, which has much better control while drifting.
Yes, those monkeys are pretty fast. -👴🏻

the fact the selecting funky Kong noise was different really caught me off guard lol
“Why does everyone use Funky Kong?”
Cause he’s hot af bro
I’m just now learning the different characters actually determine how you play
Hes also in the top 5 best kongs, plus his design is so fire.
It’s all funky Kong
It’s always has been
I never even knew he was good as a kid, I just saw how cool he looked
I always used to use Waluigi with the offroader when I still played the game. The extra acceleration helps with recovery after being hit by an item, and the drift stat is always good for mini-turbo sections of maps.
Waluigi’s drift is a lie. The in game stat lines are actually incorrect. I have a comment explaining this somewhere
I mean as soon as you see the word "Funky", you know they're cool
You use funky kong for his speed stats
I use funky kong cause he is funky as fuck
We are not the same
Funky Kong also helped me through my divorce
I thought it was because this was the only game he was in besides tour
"Its not speed that wins races it's skill"

So no one talking about how rosalina is a heavy weight?
Tbh I used Funky Kong so much for the simple fact that he was the most fun character for me to use
I really miss the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection day when players varied.
I remember being Baby Luigi/quaker and being surrounded by Funky Kongs and Daisy's online back then. Honestly, it makes it much more satisfying on the off chance i won first place against them. XD
Wait, what would Rosalina's secret stat be?
I just thought that everybody picks him because he is cool as fuck
Same
Funky Kong and Flame Runner is basically the only way to play this game.
"why does everyone use funky kong? its very simple, hes funky kong"
I haven’t found 2 sources that have the same information regarding the secret stats, the numbers are always different.
Lawyer kong from smg4: well shit. Time to sell guns.
**Turns into funky kong**
I always played him cause he was my favorite, same with the flame motorcycle. Turns out that's the best combo...
Legit when I was younger I only used him because he was the coolest character.
because he chill af
I had Mario kart Wii for years and never knew this character existed
Funky kong is for the people with that funky groove
So you're telling me, that the whole time I was playing Mario Cart Wii as a child, some characters had boosts and I never knew it until now?!

Fun fact: bowser on the spear is actually faster than funky kong on spear. It’s just that the spear isn’t that good at turning and as such isn’t commonly used
Of all the characters that could of been chosen im glad it was funky kong
In Mario Kart, regardless of the version, my go to character is always Bowser Jr.
It's surprising how many people don't actually know this until they play the Wii and ds versions
They really made the gangsta monkey the fastest character in the game
