Makes sense why they went with the zero gravity instead of the drill, it must've been easier to make the antigravity look visually appealing when implemented into a track's design. Although, I can't help but think how cool it would've been. Imagine for a second, you jump off a ramp, activate air glide mode, and then burrow into a wall that leads to an alternate path.
Feel like it would be better as an item. You get the spin drill from Mario Galaxy and can use it to find shortcuts and alternate routes. Otherwise you can just use it to burrow underground and become invincible for a while.
It amuses me how Double Dash had models originally from Melee. The final product ended up being one of the first games to use the current Mario aesthetic.
He didn't say when the game came out, he said when the game "resurfaced", which is a weird way of putting it but he means when the game's name was changed as the second trailer went out.
The drill item would be cool as a temporary underground to dodge attacks, tho they would have to make it more interesting by making it do something else otherwise it’s a worse boo
I remember some of those beta Mario Kart DS tracks as a kid on TH-cam, like the circle and the one with the grate looking track. I thought they were secret tracks were you had to do something special to unlock them or at least play on them.
I’d say the initial footage of “double dash” was either a tech demo or a *very* early look at the game where double dash didn’t even have proper models yet
I don't know, I kinda like that we ended up with antigrav. The drill idea sounds cool initially but as an entire gimmick with probably most of the nitros centered around it in some way doesn't really appeal to me. I might change my mind if we ever see a proof of concept in a future Mario Kart.
"When the game resurfaced as double dash, it looked like the game that came out" So when the game was released, it looked like the game that was released??😂
The drill would be cool if it brought you too and from a cave that's badically an wntire course on its own, and different parts are faster/slower and easier/harder on the surface and cave so you have to learn when its best to switch
I actually didnt know the original idea for 8 was a drill mechanic, kinda crazy since i was hoping that they'd add the drill mushroom in the next mario kart game with similar functionality
They were originally going to just attach a spin drill from Super Mario Galaxy 2 and call it a mechanic? Glad they went with something more interesting
Bet. Action Replay Circle Stage (i beat it btw): 023cdcd8 00000015 020484a0 d0002a00 020484a4 e0052321 (I think this is it, start up a race and you can play it)
Hold up. Since the beta Double Dash trailer used Melee models, that technically means that Smash Kart was real for a brief time! (Read on if you’d like the joke explained to you) I was joking. I didn’t actually think that they were making Smash Kart before switching to Mario Kart.
*Useless Mario Kart Fact* In Mario Kart 8 (and Deluxe) there is supposed to be a "Drift" stat like the one in Mario Kart 7: in Mario Kart 8 it's called "On-Road Traction". But it doesn't work because the SlipRt values for every level in the translation table are set to 0.75. On the Wiki you can actually see that every character and vehicle part gives a different value of On-Road Traction, but it's all for nothing since in the translation table all levels are the same (so all combos slip the same when drifting). The idea of On-Road Traction was probably scrapped at the last moment, that's why it still exists as junk code (they were too lazy to just delete the code lmao). Now we only have Off-Road Traction that is just known as Traction, Off-Road or Grip... and it doesn't work on actual off-road terrains. Thanks Nintendo!
What! are you absolutely serious? that's ridiculous I always wanted the drilling mechanic To dive in and out of the ground I would have preferred that very much so 😢
yea, i beat it lol. The tip is the use anyone but I used Yoshi with the Egg Cart, then i spam slight drifts to the right and as long as I don't mess up I win.
I hope Mario Kart 9 would add a Movie Mode, where all of the characters would be voiced by their movies actors, everything would get a movie-styled look, and the karts from the film would be unlockable.

this is exactly what the next Mario Kart should be like

@@the3dluxe53i was gonna say that
Bro the drill mechanic would’ve been sooo cool because we couldn’t seen a whole other map underneath
Yeah anti gravity is boring
@@Krispykey499 most of the time you hardly ever notice the anti grav unless you see a flipped part of the track or something
@@thememelord4157 Besides we all know that Crash Nitro Kart is the superior anti-gravity centered racing game
the kart he showed was from the arcade but pc mario kart mkagpdx or MK_AGP3_FINAL.exe
Nitro kart isnt that good@Hugo-yz1vb
Serious question:
How would an underground race even work?
It amuses me how Double Dash had models originally from Melee.
The final product ended up being one of the first games to use the current Mario aesthetic.
Still halfway through tho.
The Power-Ups and some enemies still had a different aesthetic.
The drill mechanic should come back at some point, maybe the next Mario kart
Gurren Lagan
that what he showed there was from MK_AGP3_FINAL.exe or mario kart arcade grandprix deluxe its for the arcade but u can play on pc threw techno parrot
I think it could work for the Drill Mushroom item from Mario Wonder
“When the game came out, it looked like the game when it came out.”

@@RealZerenaFannot just useless facts but useless sentences as well
Came to the comments because of that very sentence, and when I came to the comments I saw there were comments.

When I posted videos on TH-cam. They were videos, on TH-cam?! (😮😮😮no way you fr rn?!)
The early version of Waluigi Pinball might had been a standard pinball not themed after any character until Waluigi was choose
It was a mixture of stadium and pinball and all of that changed. As it was going the MKDD route we mostly track detail and music and sound effects
Nintendo believed that GCN Mario Circuit looked too similar to DS Mario Circuit, which is why it was scrapped in DS and brought back to Wii.
Mario kart tour was banned in the EU for gambling since it was promoting loot boxes and the EU wasn’t happy
Huh
Idk, that drill mechanic sounds really cool, they should totally bring it back for a future game.
unless mario kart fact: Double Dash needed a partner for Toad is how Toadette debut like how waluigi was for Wario In Mario Tennis 64
The drill item would be cool as a temporary underground to dodge attacks, tho they would have to make it more interesting by making it do something else otherwise it’s a worse boo
I think the drill should come back, not as a gimmick, but as an item. ESPECIALLY with the newly added drill shroom
Mario kart for GameCube was just to show that there was a new Mario kart game being made
The Anti Gravity was a good idea and they should keep it forever
This has probably been requested before, but I’d love to see a ranking video of every course in this game from an expert competitive’s perspective.
the drill should definitely be an item. that sounds fun as hell.
I wonder what the new mechanic will be in the next Mario Kart game.
These aren’t useless bro
aren't useless for me. I just got a video idea out of this. Might not be for others though
Remember, Mario Kart was Not the First kart racing Game to use anti Gravity gimmicks
i think gcn mario circuit got cut for time and they wanted it for the next game being wii
Yep, probably did Luigi circuit instead since it’s a lot simpler
I remember some of those beta Mario Kart DS tracks as a kid on TH-cam, like the circle and the one with the grate looking track. I thought they were secret tracks were you had to do something special to unlock them or at least play on them.

It was a tech demo. Pretty much everything shown for the GameCube back in Spaceworld 2000 were all tech demos.

The tiny track would be hilarious if it came baxk

When?
@@anthony.morales6917 are you serious
@@GotSwissd my face tells you everything
My face: 😐
@@anthony.morales6917 bro.
Just make the drill an item box item and not a games entire gimmick and it fits imo
“Also, there’s a one lap track that’s a tiny circle, that’s impossible to get first place on.”
*Me: “wanna bet?”*
I will bet I bet u won’t make it to first place because ur not him bro 😭🙏. plus yo ur not like the best mk player
If Mario Kart had a drill gimmick, it would remind me a *Lot* of Gurren Lagann, and I think Nintendo should do a Mario Kart game with Studio Trigger.
"When the game resurfaced as double dash, it looked like the game that came out"
So when the game was released, it looked like the game that was released??😂
the drill idea reminds me of lego racers shortcuts
W Facts. Although I debunked that last one though lol.
I feel like a Gamecube Mario Kart game that looked like Melee would've looked good.
The drill mechanic couldve been more interesting than anti grav, it just wouldve required so much more work
The drill would be cool if it brought you too and from a cave that's badically an wntire course on its own, and different parts are faster/slower and easier/harder on the surface and cave so you have to learn when its best to switch
Correction: the drill would've been too difficult to implement compared to the zero gravity.
Interesting ≠ useless
Now I wonder possibly where they got the idea for the anti gravity gimmick from...
I actually didnt know the original idea for 8 was a drill mechanic, kinda crazy since i was hoping that they'd add the drill mushroom in the next mario kart game with similar functionality
The drill could be like a rarer version of the bullet bill and you go under ground instead
How is anti gravity far more interesting than burrowing underground
They were originally going to just attach a spin drill from Super Mario Galaxy 2 and call it a mechanic? Glad they went with something more interesting
Wow, the released version looked like the released version!? Who'd've thunked
Mario kart 8's anti gravity was basically stolen from crash nitro kart
You forgot the part where Crash did anti gravity first
Nintendo Thought they did something amazing for MK8.
Turns out CNK(Crash Nitro Kart) Did Anti-Gravity first
Sonic Riders Zero Gravity
What if first place had a drill and carve the track for everybody else
Could have been a drill powerup
Bro forgot the cheese waluigi pinball ;(
"Useless Mario Kart facts"
*doesn't mention the three item boxes that sit very low beneath DK Summit*
double dash is so good.
Did the drill idea influence Mario Wonder perhaps?
