I think I got 1 mini turbo in this haha. I actually did try some higher handling but my results were not any better, as I predicted. I'm mainly using items to catch up and smart steering is great while using a speed item, so handling wasn't that important. If I had beaten the challenge with smart steering right away, I might have done no smart steering. In that case I'd go for high handling
@@Shortcat321 I commented before I saw that you switched to a high handling combo! You should try doing it with more mini turbo as well, will will get one on most turns. Still, probably no front-running lmao
I think high Handling Combos actually make it harder to build a Mini Turbo because the car takes longer to Autodrift where as something with terrible Handling will enter Drift quicker. Not to mention higher Handling means your Car will turn more Sharply when Drifting and we all know Sharp turns are kinda rare. I'm considering running TTs for several Combos on one track.
i remember when i played mario kart wii i didnt know how to drift and only learnt after i stopped playing the game, so as a kid i spent hours and hours trying to get gold in all grand prixs without drifting, took forever but i did end up pulling it off
Tbf it’s because it’s just on by default and the game doesn’t even tell you. Super annoying I have to teach my parents how to turn it off every single time
Awesome video as always + new video idea: playing with the smallest combo in the game! (When’s the next loung video coming out…it was so entertaining…SUNSHINE AIRPORT!)
It's good for really new players since it mostly keeps you on the track and moving but you basically can't do shortcuts and it will get real finicky with where it'll let you go
If you can’t drift, smart steering seems objectively better than having it off because the main downside of smart steering is losing out on ultra mini turbos
In this challenge, smart steering is almost always good. It's bad sometimes as I showed. I was going to ban smart steering if I won with it quickly, to up the challenge more.
I don't play online at all, but lately I've been doing a thing in 150 cc races where I try to ONLY use orange or purple mini-turbos, no blue ones allowed to try and get my mini-turbo stats such that the blues are less than %50 of the total. I've had to change my lines on a lot of tracks to make that happen. If you're looking for a challenge, how about that??? (Btw I enjoy your content, I don't watch any other MK players on YT but somehow you got me hooked enough to watch nearly all of yours, damn cat.)
Wondering if being able to get a mini turbo by steering normally for a long time is neat or just useless. Maybe both. Also the smart steering save at 9:18 was sick!
It's useless but very satisfying especially when using Motion Controls. Maybe Nintendo will give it a more competitive edge in the next installment because quite frankly it reminds me of MKDD where you go straight into a drift instead of hopping.
This is one of the "challenges" i ipose on myself when I play with the family. They get a choice of 3 No Items No Drifting (which includes no hopping) 1 Lap head start No items is the easiest to deal with, 1 lap head start just means I get a bullet and instantly catch up, no drifting is 100% the hardest thing, I go from easily winning to sometimes coming 5th
Yeah I did No Drifting with my friends and still Won. I intentionally slowed down as well and trust me, I'm not even that great at MK8D. I'm not trying to put down my Friends, but just felt like sharing that.
Hello Shortcat, it's been 2 months, I started watching you when you had 1k subs. And now you have 113k subs. You have gained alot of subscribes within the 2 months
This reminds me of playing Mario Kart DS with my DS’s broken L/R buttons! Despite that, I defeated my friends so consistently they started copying my driftless turns :3
The second race was so lucky! Also why torment your self with no drifting shortcat- no I mean hopcat- no I mean CAT Also the end is the biggest bruh moment ever
When I saw ‘NO DRIFTING’, I thought of just steering, like driving normally. When I saw you hopping to make the turns easier, I felt that you weren’t doing this challenge at 100%. I’m glad you changed that almost halfway through the video! (I don’t drift in races when I play Mario Kart with beginners 😆)
I imagined it would be done by racing 200cc + braking + turning, but then again you'd lose lots of speed that way huh. You'd complete this challenge some day 😌
when i got mario kart 7, i didnt know anything about the game and i straight up did not know about drifting until i got mk8, and i somehow got all the 100cc cups with 3 stars
this is the reason my family and relatives are unable to beat me cus they don't know how to drift like this unless ofc with smart steering with a bit of funny rng
Ok shortcat I mean like the shorts made me cry tears of joy a little but I got so happy from this long video that now my whole house is filled up with my tears. I guess thank you for making me happy.
When I play with my family I do the No Drift Challenge with the worst cart stats to see if I can get first. I still get first. I don't know how else I can handicap myself while still looking like I'm trying.
love how you always try and do different and unique combos, even on top of ridiculous challenges like this, lol. keeps the content fresh : ) good work short hop
I'm sorry but smart steering is cheating because if you didn't have it and mushroomed you would just be boosting into a wall not taking the corner at stupid speeds and he knows it .... the rest of your videos though I really enjoy
Technically if you turn your vehicle with the right amount of speed, acceleration and force and how tightly you turn you can get a mini turbo boost like when you go to drift
i remember when I didn’t really watch mario kart youtubers and actually just didn’t know drifting existed. me and my friends just turned and flew of the track every 5 seconds. nostalgia
honestly smart steering was kind of clutch in a couple places, i wonder if it's possible to use it to benefit in a real match if you see you wont make a turn at your speed
new video :) when you said your recording corrupted but you still got first i believed it for a moment until you revealed that you TRICKED me and now i feel so deceived that i must unsubscribe :(
I cannot believe he would LIE to us at the end. My heart is now torn apart upon watching this vid. 10/10 would stay tuned for more.
I almost did leave too😂
I thought it would be bad to end without beating the challenge, so I simply rewrote.history 🤫
History is writen by the victors, but in this case….
That ending was hilarious
FUCK
babe wake up shortcat just uploaded
Lets go 😄
Unironically so hype when he uploads
I’m awake 💕
I'm so happy 😊
Thanks for notifying me babe ❤
I love that there's always lore behind these challenges
the expanded shortcat universe
@@depalodorI'm so invested in the shortcat world lore at this point
@@soup3ppee World building is insanely potent that's for sure
Wario's tires survived a shortcat video!
Lore?
I've done this a bit before, but I do it in high handling combos, and you can even get some mini turbos if you turn really hard for a while
I think I got 1 mini turbo in this haha.

@@LavaCreeperPeoplewho taught you that insult? You didn’t come up with it yourself, did you? …there’s a word for that…
Its also a good day when this overused sentence isn't used

*laughs in mkwii automatic drift*
@@Shortcat321 true lol
I did the same smh
That one friend who comes over to play some Mario kart always does this
Are they good tho 👀
Tbf it’s because it’s just on by default and the game doesn’t even tell you. Super annoying I have to teach my parents how to turn it off every single time
Yup thats me, i came over just once and never come back
I love how you did a story set-up. "Wario doesn't want to ruin his new tires." 😂
Awesome video as always + new video idea: playing with the smallest combo in the game! (When’s the next loung video coming out…it was so entertaining…SUNSHINE AIRPORT!)
Thanks for the idea! Next lounge video is soon!
☀️ ✈️
Smart Steering could honestly be it's own challenge.
Seriously, I drive so bad with smart steering lol
disgusting pfp
9:20 smart steering oo oo oo
It's good for really new players since it mostly keeps you on the track and moving but you basically can't do shortcuts and it will get real finicky with where it'll let you go
i would 100% watch that hahaha
Not gona lie, the end got me
Also that win with Wario It was all luck in your favor
Good video as always shortcat!
This video hurts to watch
Try and win a game while only looking at the mini map.
sick idea, although idk how that would work lol
@@StalinkTz exactly, that's why it would be a hard, worthy challenge.
I feel like the only game where this would be relatively easy would be MKDS lmao
@@djroscurro9859and 7
And super Mario kart
If you can’t drift, smart steering seems objectively better than having it off because the main downside of smart steering is losing out on ultra mini turbos
not being able to take shortcuts its a downside if you're bagging
In this challenge, smart steering is almost always good. It's bad sometimes as I showed. I was going to ban smart steering if I won with it quickly, to up the challenge more.
4:03 The one time the boo saved your life!! 😱😱😱
the absolute roller coaster of emotions during ribbon road!!!
You know it's a good video when the muscle memory kicks in not even 10 seconds in.
so many of these challenges seem to be "how good is bagging" xD
Shortcat using my baby sister's meta build of smart steering + no drift. You just need to also do auto-accelerate now.
It’s so weird seeing yourself in a Shortcat video. I can remember the Waluigi driving weird. Can’t believe I lost though…
the lore for these challenges are so funny🤣
Yo I don’t even have a switch or play mario kart, but these vids are so enjoyable for some reason. Thanks, Shortcat.

Wario: *doesn’t drift so he doesn’t ruin his brand new car*

Wow, crazy challenge. I might try it!
When I first played mario kart, I didn't know about drifting, so it looks a lot like what you did.
people who know you can get a mini turbo without drifting here
? How???
@@leonides4377he does it in the electrodome race
this is how my mum plays because it’s too hard for her to remember to drift

This made me realize how important drifting is. Great job shortcat
15:37 Next time, you should throw your switch in the trash can when you lose at Mario Kart when you should have righteously won
This reminds me of playing Mario Kart DS with my DS’s broken L/R buttons! Despite that, I defeated my friends so consistently they started copying my driftless turns :3
Yo what hahahahah
I feel like any challenge is possible with bagging, the real challenge is winning without bagging!
Love the videos! You should make a video where you only use smart steering as it's a really funny mechanic
Best intro ive ever seen
The second race was so lucky! Also why torment your self with no drifting shortcat- no I mean hopcat- no I mean CAT
Also the end is the biggest bruh moment ever
“I didn’t get mushrooms in so long that my dopamine just crashed” -shortcat
I didn’t realise I did this challenge the whole time without knowing when I first played :D
I only started to drift when I watched you
The return of the King lets go ! 😄
No drifting, smart-steering off, no items, and wait 30 seconds when?
What about winning without items
Yo shortcat remember me? Thanks dor your advise i’m doing so mutch better now!
I love how you do this to challenge yourself meanwhile there are so many casual players just Living Like This
"drifting is the most important mechanic in the game"
Accelerating: am I a joke to you?
Can you stream you grinding rating?
This challenge is crazy!!! I can’t believe you won (even with hop haha)! Great video as always Shortcat

This was me in Mario Kart Wii but I got gold in every single Grand Prix except Mirrored.

I was doing that exact same challenge, 200cc and no drift is insane XD
Technically if you turn your vehicle with the right amount of speed, acceleration and force and how tightly you turn you can get a mini turbo boost like when you go to drift
Me; a Mario Kart noob who somehow went 10 years of playing Mario Kart without ever gaining the capability to properly drift:
i remember when I didn’t really watch mario kart youtubers and actually just didn’t know drifting existed. me and my friends just turned and flew of the track every 5 seconds. nostalgia
This reminds me of me playing mario kart on DS and my drift/jump button didn't work so i had to play without that
The only track I’ve not drifted on and done well is kalamari desert, the turns are wide enough that it doesn’t really matter if you drift or not
Oh yeah, literally not a single sharp turn on that track. If I got it then it would have been over for everyone 😤😤
honestly smart steering was kind of clutch in a couple places, i wonder if it's possible to use it to benefit in a real match if you see you wont make a turn at your speed
new video :)

I ain't gonna stop commenting that ur jperm I know u are him Dylan 👀
this is how my parents play mario kart
they also refuse to turn off smart steering
he was drifting so much like bruuuuuuuuuuh bad content
I feel like you don't know what a drift is. When did I drift?
Imagine losing to someone who isn’t drifting
I can't imagine how EMBARRASSING that would be
