7:59 Petey actually didn’t have a special item of his own in double dash. Him and King Boo had the unique ability to pull any special item in the game!

Great editing in this one! The footage from the original games was a nice addition. Not sure why you liked the green pipes in double dash more than boo's pipes but otherwise good video 👍
Just discovered your channel yesterday. I only ever played Mario Kart DS and was very good at it, I play it to this day because Mario kart DS is amazing. I bought Mario Kart 8 deluxe last year and put it aside as it felt so much different and strange to me compared to my DS game because I always picked bad combos I guess and even if I play on Swtich Lite it felt lightyears apart of the DS game. Rewatched your videos and your guides just made me bought into the online play. Your tips and combos made my results better with podiums and wins, especially on the old DS tracks in 8 I can deliver good results more constant. Awesome content thanks greetings from germany
It's always a good day when vertically challenged feline uploads before Christmas. Also, merry Christmas shortcat. I hope you have family and friends to spend it with. We all love you ❤️

18:45 clearly Morton on the Blue Falcon is the best combo in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe because of its i-frames!! (I've only played Mario Kart 8, but they're basically the same game anyway so it must be true)
Fire hopping was done to extend the speed boost. At the end of any speed boost you hop left and right on most vehicles (except the inward drift bikes) 2-5 times depending on the boost.
Hey Shortcat, just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate your videos. You are what made me get back into owning a Nintendo console and playing Mario Kart again, haha. Plus I'm going through some pretty challenging times right now, so your videos always brighten my mood. You never bore me, and I eagerly await for new videos. Greetings from a fan of yours, Shortcat. :)
3:20 counterpoint: you might still have been in 1st if you banana sniped yourself and then the red shell would go for 2nd. It was still probably the right play to not risk it.
imagine being someone who just got super circuit all those years ago, and then showing them mario kart 8 deluxe its like showing a victorian child a phone
Man why you bully me with the shock (I’m shortduck btw) and I had no idea you were the real shortcut because I didn’t think my brother was high enough to get in a match with you. Ggs ig P.s awesome video really cool concept.
14:37. Hot Monster tires used to bounce in Mario Kart 7 as well. Actually the "bounciness" in that game was literally a statistics called "stability" (TireFeeling), and even if there were 20 levels like in 8, this stat could actually only assume 3 different values based only on the tires. Small tires had the best stability, medium tires mid stability and big tires minimum stability.
I think the craziest part about this video for me was learning that I used the best combo from mariokart 7 with literally no outside influence at all, all the way down to the character. I never played online and never watched videos on it
This video helped me find out that if you use koopa on the varmint with standard tires and a super glider, every speed boost makes you feel like you’re on 200cc
It is very interesting to look back on prior Mario Karts as the only one I’ve played for a long time is 8DX. Although I wish more info was put out on MK7 besides the broken gliders. Also “Shortcat this is the 4th time you’ve shown mini-turbo comparisons in class”
MK7 gliders were really funky man, I remember on some maps, like Music Park, you could extend your glider and keep the speed boost it gave if you timed tricks off the very edge of ramps! I especially loved the Music Park one, cause you would time it based off when the notes would jump, but you kept the entire section in a glide when timed perfectly
I love your videos shortcat!! For a future one, you could try a completely random combo before the start of a new match and see how that fares? That would be really fun to do!!
So I can comment a bit about MK Double Dash as it's the one I played the most as a kid. "What was Petey Piranha and King Boo's signature item?" That's actually the neat part, King Boo and Petey could roll any other signature item in the game. It was still not all that great because heavy weights had it rough that game (you wanted a lot of handling as the comeback mechanics in that game were relatively weak and attack items are powerful). "What were the best characters?" Lightweight was generally the best class but not all lightweights were created equal. Frontrunning was insanely strong in the game, so you wanted one that had a good chance of rolling their special item in a high place. Diddy was great because giant banana is the single strongest defensive item in the series, making for an extremely difficult to avoid trap that also blocked an infinite number of red shells. Koopa/Paratroopa and Bowser Jr are the next best things as giant shell is an absurd item to just back onto people and triple shells are just good, and both of them are available in middle to high places (though not first IIRC). Babies aren't that great unless you are dead set on trying to make bagging work in Double Dash (don't do this), as chain chomp is only available in bottom spots and is rare even then. Also in terms of aesthetic I'd argue the Prancer had similar vibes to the Barrel Train in Double Dash. It is very weird that we don't have a single Barrel-style car in MK8 though. Lastly Snaking was 100% a thing in MK Double Dash and I'd argue it was the first game in the series to feature snaking. That's all I got. I never played competitively, so feel free to correct me if I got something wrong.
My dad played on the Super Nintendo, in fact he recently showed us his old PBs that are still saved on there. And he still plays mk8 deluxe with us almost every evening!
That Morton race made me miss MK8U so much, I remember almost exclusively playing Roy + Blue Falcon and absolutely slamming lobbies because almost nobody knew how to actually firehop. It's so sad that firehopping just got deleted in Deluxe, I wish it got kept around in a nerfed state
My first into to MK was DS, and i got into such a habit of flicking the sticks to build up miniturbo that it took me several months to train my brain out of it and i still do it once in a while
Hi ShortCat. I was the inkling player. I had loads of fun racing against you. Can't wait to race you next time. Also love your videos they are incredibly fun😊
Your combo always matches the track (SNES combo on SNES track and so on) I thought of this idea before but only did Peach Pipe Frame Roller Cloud for the N64 because that was my first Mario Kart game (other than Tour) Pre DLC Funky Kong / Mr Scooty was part-meta along with Waluigi Wiggler / Flame-rider (flamerider = wild wiggler) 😂 Would have matched MKW so well 😅 (No FlameRider for Gold Mine?) 16:47 That was actually correct but don’t hop too much (I think) You can hop more if you use a mushroom (Not Morton Sport Bike?) Great video! ❤
For some reason whenever I hear Hyrule Circuit and the music comes to that one part I immediately think "It's Zelda's Lullaby!" because I'm a Zelda fan + Funky Kong fell off 😂
As someone who used to be REALLY into Mario kart 64, light weights were the best and it’s really complicated but Yoshi was considered the best, then Toad, and then peach. But the difference were minuscule
maybe unrelated to the video but thank you Shortcat for putting actual captions on ur video, I’m in a very public space right now but I’m bored as hell and would not want Mario kart gameplay to be blasting from my phone

Short answer: yes.
Pretty cool, but what if we were in a parallel universe, where your name is Longcat and you NEVER use shortcuts but still win.
the universe just only have longcuts which everyone uses, and longcat doesnt
Longcat has to take all of the alternate paths that aren't worth it
That’s just frontrunning
This sounds like a fun video idea actually

Not gonna lie, it was REALLY gratifying to see Funky Kong/Flamebike lose like that.
Gratifyingly? In this context, I don't think it would make sense to use the adverb. It would make more sense for that word to be an adjective.

Lmao same (though I *did* use the red wheels)
That was PERFECT fire hopping

Also I saw that wrong track pick shortcat... Hyrule circuit would have been a better pick

Wow, I surely love shortcut taking shortcats!
literally every single time Shortcat plays as Dry Bones its so good because hes my favourite character (and also when he just dominates as him)
This is why i love 10k VR lobbies, look at those variety combos, making the game more lifely that knowing this game doesn't only have Yoshi or Peach.
“NO MY SON! Wait im evil i dont care. I dont care about you son!” That’s wild 💀
Bro this gives me so much nostalgia
Petey Piranha had no special item in Mario Kart Double Dash. If you picked him and Bohoo as a caracter they would give you a random special item
Best part is at 11:39

This is the video that will satisfy every mario kart player
I like the little detail that they added where if you use the old meta in the game where the track is from you get a 1.3x speed boost

Hi Shortcat! Huge fan! Hope you keep up the good work! ❤
5:26 To be fair, the courses were designed for one item on the Wii U version, so bagging probably wasn’t as big of a concern.

Love those characters too and my main in Double Dash.
Love the vids too.
Wow Shortcats luck to get Mario Circuit 😂. “Thanks Nintendo”
Your combo always matches the track (SNES combo on SNES track and so on)
I thought of this idea before but only did Peach Pipe Frame Roller Cloud for the N64 because that was my first Mario Kart game (other than Tour)
Pre DLC Funky Kong / Mr Scooty was part-meta along with Waluigi Wiggler / Flame-rider (flamerider = wild wiggler) 😂 Would have matched MKW so well 😅 (No FlameRider for Gold Mine?)
16:47 That was actually correct but don’t hop too much (I think) You can hop more if you use a mushroom (Not Morton Sport Bike?)

The best combo in Mario Kart Tour is Waluigi, Wild Wiggler and Cloud Glider.
