  • I ask you the question if unlocking gold in Mario kart is worth it.
    In short, no.
    Otherwise it is an alright challenge, but should not be done to unlock anything special. The only other unlock you can get when completing something like 200cc is the alternate title screens which ti me is worth it, but to you maybe not. The gold kart, gold tires, gold glider, and gold Mario are all just fun collectables for Mario kart enthusiasts.

    UPDATE (05/06/23): Hi everyone. I should say here that the comments have brought to my attention some false information I said in this video.
    1. I was completely unaware you did not have to complete speeds lower than 150cc. Either mirror or 150cc is important to this.
    2. Yes, I know it isn't 10,000 coins, it is 5,000. I corrected myself in the video. Should I have put in a sound effect to let you know there was text on-screen fixing my mistake?
    2:59 I did not say you had to get 3 stars for 200cc. I said "To me this was pretty difficult, but only because I wanted to get triple stars for every cup I played in." you only need 1 star. (or maybe just 1st)
    4. I was informed that 3 stars for all is how you get the alternate title screens.
    5. There is also a "Gold steering wheel" you can get on your online profile for using motion controls. Because this is a temporary badge, It was not included in this video.
    I think That covers everything for now. I had comments of my own on this video, but I must have deleted them at some point.

    You actually just have to get 1 star in all cups in just Mirror Mode to get the Gold Standard Kart body.
    Same can apply to Gold Mario, needing to get 1 star in all cups in just 200cc.

    I have completed all of the gold challenges for MK8D and honestly I think most of it is worth doing, not only are you being rewarded with new items but going against the staff and getting 1st in all of the 200cc races definitely made me better at Mario Kart, I think if your newish to the game and want to improve and want a challenge the gold set is perfect to you

    Coming from someone who pre-ordered the original Mario Kart 8 and 100% completed it, I was really burnt out when it came to Mario Kart and after picking up my pre-order of Deluxe needless to say I only played it for a few weeks and didn't really touch enough it after that. But since the pandemic started in 2020 my older brother and I started to reconnect so I started playing Nintendo switch and catching up with them throughout the weeks. And eventually it inspired me to just 100% the game. (again)
    First, was the glider, then Kart, the Gold Mario, I recently finished all of the time trials and won the gold tires. I will say cutting the golden glider unlock from 10,000 all the way down to 5000 made it feel less rewarding compared to the original Wii U version but oh well.
    (It felt satisfying to watch the credits with my brother after we finally completed the lightning cup on 200cc with Triple Stars after finally grinding it out together for weeks.)
    Whenever I'm not playing Bowser or my Mii, Gold Mario is very fun to race with! I recently finished up with the four DLC booster pass cups and I can't wait for Wave 3 on December 7th! All four gold items are totally worth it. Especially if you're willing to grind for the perfect triple star rating.🥇🎊🏆

  • @lizzz1678

    Gold cart: 150cc is a breeze besides the red shell spam but mirror was hell since I memorized every track layout
    Gold mario: honestly when you learn 200cc it becomes easier than 150cc
    Gold tires: these were so annoying to unlock because I play with auto accelerate so I don’t get arthritis. Really took a toll on my thumb

    Golden Glider is HELL, I did everything else and I only had like 3000-4000 coins, had to grind like all hell for it.
