It's so frustrating when I get hit by one single green shell, and all of a sudden I go from 2nd place to 9th
Me playing 200cc be like
Fr
200cc in a nutshell
this isnt really the game of game to take seriously at all honestly
If you didn’t know if you hold your the l bottom then you will have a item behind you and the item will save you like say you got a green shell to throw at someone you can put that behind your cart and when a player throws a item at you the item behind your cart will block it
I COULD NOT tell you how many times I've been hit 2 seconds before the finish line, causing me to go from 1st to 7th in seconds.
I would’ve cried
I THOUGHT I WAS THR ONLY ONE THAT SHIT HURTS
RIGHT?? I kept holding 1st in online till the third race then got hit repeatedly and fell to 6-10th 😢
@@frogpaint7974 facts lol its happened too many times
you can dodge blue shell by using a mushroom on the right time.
Phantom Arcanist or a boo, you can also bail by falling off a track like rainbow road, it will save you a coin and a snippit of time:)
Awesome Sauce05 you don't get a boo in first place, and a mushroom is easier to save considering it's a second place item.
I did that mkwii
You can deflect a red shell with a perfectly timed bob omb
you can also dodge a shock if you fall out of the world, while lakitu is bringing you up if a shock comes out of know where your invinsibility frames will save you, however it requires alot of R.N.G.
Tip #9 When you get zapped by the Lightning item, you Will become small, making you also become slow. Depending on which place you are in the race (1st, 2nd, 3rd) you will regain your full size more quickly or more slowly than other racers (1st place regaining full size last). If you regain full size before a racer around you, you can drive over them, which makes their vehicle stop!
No you just squish them they can still move while squished
@@Annihilasian They can move, but before they can first they stop.
My tips:
-Go without smart steering! Once you get the hang of it, you'll be able to go way faster and get those sweet pink boosts.
-If you're getting the coin item from every item box, quit using the coin! If you hold onto it, your next item won't be a coin as you can't have two coin items at the same time.
-When you're in first place, don't hold your items behind you until you know you need to because someone is trailing you or a shell is on its way. The blue shell won't take your item if you are just holding it.
-If you're falling behind, trail the racer in front of you. You will get a large boost and race ahead of them!
Fricking Taylor Thanks for the information :D
Hmmmmmmm, I've actually gotten 2 coins in a row before, multiple times.
@@Annihilasian But you shouldn't be able to be holding two coins. Like, if you're holding a coin and you hit an item box, you will still be holding a coin but the other item will be something else.
You shouldn't, but I have.
@@Annihilasian That's a glitch caused by lag
I dont have the game. I dont even own a switch. Why am i here.
.… *scoots chair closer to screen*
yup, that's me
ur mummy
ooh that's gotta hurt
Darull nooooooooo
KINDA LATE BUT GOT A SWITCH ON INDEPENDENCE DAY
**GOD BLESS AMERICA**
I just bought this game and I don’t know why there is no tutorial section. Just a tiny list of what items do and some driving techniques.
cause there is no tutorial on how to be a good player. learn the basic techniques like drifting, defending and tricking and study the best ways to move in courses. after that you need high consistency and the ability to read situations well in order to use your items effectively.
I mean, do racing games even have tutorials?
I'm a simple man. I make good looking kart combo, I play with good looking kart combo.
Pssh, Standard Kart default combo is for real men. I don't need no fancy gimmicks!
@@Buzzkilljoy1248 AMEN
@@Buzzkilljoy1248 Weird flex but ok...
The duke plus cysber slicks and glider plus walugie
@@Buzzkilljoy1248 Uhm the fancy gimmicks is what makes it fun and interesting. Using the default combo shows, that maybe you should study more about stats. It's fine if you just want to mess around, but I don't think it'll be as fun for you, and you shouldn't expect to win races that way.
Little tip about the coins; if you get a coin box it actually gives you 2 coins. When you collect 3 coins in a row in a race, you get a pretty nice boost. So when you have a coin block, drive into 1 (or more) coins and activate it right after hitting the coin. First I thought coin boxes where shit, but they provide some easy boosts.
Coin box?
There is actually 5 weight classes. Featherweight, Light, Medium, Heavy, and Cruiser. Featherweight has the best handling stats. Light has 3-4 in each category but has better stats in handling. Medium as averaged out stats. Heavy has more grip than any other weight classes. Cruiser is the heaviest class and has very very slow acceleration but it's top speed is 10/10
DCabral04 That's Not True Three is also the Tanooki-class and some others.
(According to the mario kart 8 deluxe wikipedia)There are actually 16 different weight classes and i'm not posting all of them here (I would just find the wiki to see them)
Ok but I have the Mariokart 8 deluxe guide that says there is 5 different classes
DCabral04 Normally guides don't take into account subtle changes to stats
Piplup1704 Ok I guess there is 3 classes. My guide might be wrong anyway
Tip #8, in 200cc BREAKING IS ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL! When they say breaking is highly recommend, they’re not kidding. It help when encountering tight turns that would normally be tolerable in 150cc.
Bonus tip: Some turns in 200cc would require an even tighter turn; breaking while drifting doesn’t always work. The best way to get that sweet drift master turn is to not use the mini boast to speed up by letting go of A just when that tight turn comes. This is especially useful in rainbow road
Insertfunnynamehere 56 *braking 🤦♂️
Here's my 10 cents: in addition to being able to pull up or down when using gliders, you can also do the same thing without gliders when you're on a regular jump. Usually you want to come down as fast as you can because you're typically faster on the ground, however, especially with a lightweight character, you can sometimes take shortcuts and skip large sections of track if you pull up.
I never realized that. Thnx for that.
I'm not 100% sure on this, but I think after you get struck by lightning your speed stays relatively the same while gliding, meaning you want to stay in the air as long as you can when that happens.
Which track can you save so much time on by holding up?
Another small tip is if you get inked you can use a mushroom, speed pad or flight pad gets rid of it
Flight pad doesn't get rid of it (such a late reply xD)
You forgot purple boost
@@TFWPLSSUB what is that?
@@ateez_stan777 Drifting will give you blue sparkles and when you release it you'll get a boost, hold for longer and you'll get red and purple
@@TFWPLSSUB I have Mario Kart 8 for Wii U... There's only a blue, and then a orange spark when I'm drifting!
arekks forgot to mention that's the pink drift boost doesn't happen if you have smart steering on.
Jus got this today?...wat is smart steering?...pls reply asap!?!?!😁🤣😎
dont turn of smart steering if youre a noob, its like hell playing without it as a new beginner
Ousman It’s incredibly easy, I probably played 300+ hours of Mario kart ds like 7 years ago and the switch has no where near the same controls and I didn’t need smart steering at all
@@Wysdiff Same, I just bought Mario Kart 8 Deluxe two days ago and turned Auto Steering off as soon as I played it
Smart Steering is absolutely shit. If you need it, you're WORSE than a noob.
tip 9, in first place, if you want a protection item, keep hold of a coin in the other slot. it will ensure you get an actual item next time.
What do you mean?
@@maldo_raebrittany if you're holding a coin, you can't get another from a box so if you're in first, hold a coin so you can get a protection item from the next box
the jump boosts can actually make you fly off the track if you do it wrong in 200cc
take the jump boosts in wario stadium & excite bike arena stages for example
Its called tricking
Only if you are a person with no sense of kart control. I take all the boosts just fine
Gautam Yajaman I agree with you.
@@yajaman No in 200cc it's not optimal to take every trick, sometimes it's better to drift or just drive normally to set you up for a better drift after
It's still a good thing to do, but just way more specific. Your angle when going off the ramp could be off by like 10º and you'll go flying off the map.
I just got a switch yesterday and the first game i got was mario kart 8 deluxe and i love it
pandy the zelda
Pandypop same
Play Wii's. Much Better
Pandy we both got MK8DX as our first Nintendo switch game

Hahaha! Also pray to the RNG gods
Arekkz Gaming what is RNG?
Joshua Bellino random number generator. Ppl use this term to address things the player can't control, in this case, items. Sometimes toxic players criticize it because they see only value in "skill", specially when facing the frustration of a defeat produced by strategic use of things related to RNG, but nothing to wory about.

Is it me, or do you get a speed boost hitting another cart or one of those pinball pins when you spin around?
lyianx Yes you do. Its a part of the game.
Juuuusst making sure :)
Jorge Andres no
Jorge Andres They removed Flame hopping
Jorge Andres because it was an unintentional mechanic that gave some players an advantage over other who have less experience with the game and therefore was removed to try and make a fair playing ground for all players
A few things to add
1. You failed to mention that not all start boosts are the same. Getting closer to the perfect time will give you a longer boost, up to the equivalent of a mushroom.
2. You should have mentioned that some course drastically rely on the traction/grip stat. Such as Dolphin Shoals, Cheep Cheep Beach, and MooMoo Meadows.
3. A new feature in MK8 deluxe is that you can brake while drifting. Very important for 200 CC unless you are using Smart steering.
4. You can't use the Ultra Mini Turbo unless you have smart steering turned off. Actually, you didn't cover Smart Steering at all. It's a good feature for new players.
Karl Rayne brake drifting was introduced in mk8. Still, kind of you to mention this! 💖
If you use smart steering, fuck you
The brake drift was in mk8 and I think 7 as well as mk8deluxe
@@ivory5437 Nah not in mk7
what is smart steering and how to turn it off/on ? I don't like this game. I don't see why I should drift when I can just drive full speed 90% of the time ? Also its not obvious when you can go full speed and when not. if you release gass, your care will instantly stop driving etc. Bad game design.
I brought my switch over to my boyfriends house, we've played over 20 matches and he's won each and every one of them. He's played Mario Kart before but I haven't. This is my attempt to figuring out how to beat him, don't fail me now TH-cam!
@Jayden Ramirez We live together now, so we play more frequently. I've probably only beat him a handful of times lol 😅
At 2:33 the snake he's heading for you can use the spine for speed boosts it's really effective I'm disappointed he didn't show that in the video
This is my tip:
You can hold back on your drift by trying to turn in the opposite direction your drift is going to, if your drift is making you go to the left, try to go to the right, if your drift is making you go to the right, try to go to the left. This will make you turn slower on your drift so you can get drift on smaller turns, BUT it does make you get drift slower.
I sometimes move the joystick back and forth in a quick motion during the drift to create a faster drift
nice tips but i had to say something about your drifting 😂. your supposed to drift as close as you can to the smallest part of the track, not near the large side. drifting on the smallest turn of the track makes the turn much quicker, while drifting on the largest part of the turn does the opposite.
It's harder on a higher cc😂
(Laughs in 200cc)
If you angle your drift right, in most cases you can cut the corner without fear of flying off the map, even on 200cc.
the extra length in some cases could result in a purple drift boost though. other than that, I agree
For #1, if you start immediately after the 2, you'll get a boost that lasts to the starting line
Watching world record time trials and beating all the staff ghosts really helped me, it took forever but I learned many new methods and shortcuts from it.
One thing You forgot to Mention is when you tap the ZL or L button up to five times when items are loading you can get them extra fast. This is perfect for, One driving your friends and family crazy with the honk sound and the hopping, Two you can Hit people with red shells before they get their items. That's a win win move right there.
Always jump boost
200cc: yea right that doesn’t work
Scruffy , do u know what button defends u with an item
Canyon Martin The same button to use an item, you just keep holding it down
Florp Le Borp hey I figured it out but thank u 😁
Canyon Martin No problem dude
Florp Le Borp can you also tell me how to throw an item backwards?
Tip: When doing a "grass-cut" w/ a shroom, always jump before using it so your speed is not lowered, and your boost is not shrunk
How to jump?
Same button as the drift
Alternative Title: 7 Things That You Already Know And You Wasted 10 Minutes Watching This
I was playing this game for the very first time, and had little to no experience in Mario Kart. Because of your tips and tricks, and the shortcuts video you also made, I was able to beat my family and cpu's in the game, even in one round of 150cc mirror. Keep up the amazing tips and tricks.
This helped me because when me my brothers and my dad play with eachother I Finished after them because I never knew when to hold A down in the beginning
I never knew about putting the item you have behind you. That is going to help me out sooooo much.
Oh yea it's really useful
@@dailybread7687 omg I totally forget!!! Hahaha haven't played the game in years. I'm sorry!!!
@@dailybread7687 How are you playing mario kart 8 on your phone?
My son, 10, showed me a great character/cart/wheels/kite combo. I tested other combos and always came out best with his combo. He is not always the best with book smarts, but he is talented in other ways. I am so impressed by him!
Whats the combo?
The type of boost you earn from drifting isn’t simply determined by the length of time you drift for. It’s also based on the sharpness of your turn. If you’re drifting left and steering left then you’ll obviously have a sharper turn heading left which decreases the time it takes to receive a better boost. If you’re drifting right but steering left then your turn won’t be as sharp and it will take longer for you to receive a better boost. The time required for the different boosts stated in the video only refer to if you’re drifting but not steering.
It also depends on your vehicle.
@@pieterd3408 yup
4:54 split screen at death
Make sure you don’t always trick or jump if bumps in 200CC. And while you’re drifting lightly tap b to make a sharper turn, if you hold it for to long you’ll stop completely. Also read everything in the info menu at the bottom. I know I know, it could be boring but it could help you a lot.
Tip 10:You corner faster if you go closed to the inside edges
I play a lot of mario kart, and I did know all the thing that were said in this video. I still think this is a very helpful guide for people who are new to the game. I do want to say that not all bikes drift differently than karts, as Arekkz said when talking about karts and bikes. Some bikes have inside drift, these drive very differently, and make much sharper turns. But some bikes have outside drift, which may not be exactly the same as karts, but is very similar.
Thank you sooo much!! Deluxe is my 1st Mario Cart I've ever played. I see all the videos of tricks price pull off and didn't know how to do them.
You can get different levels of boost off the line depending on how close you are to the sweet spot, about a millisecond after you see 2 will get you the longest boost
There are actually 5 classes
1.Feather (Toad)
2.Light (Yoshi)
3.Medium (Mario)
4.Heavy (Rosalina)
5.Really Heavy (Bowser)
*These are just some examples*
3 years later and this vid is still helping people. No other video mentioned how to stunt off ramps or hold items behind you.
Thanks for the video! We just bought a Nintendo Switch yesterday and my MARIO Kart play stopped after the N64, so this was a great refresher of old and new info.
I’m not good enough to have to worry about blue shells😂
Thank you for telling me things I already know
AS FOR THE BEGINNERS, TAKE NOTES
Been playing sincr Double Dash, almost nothing I don't know
Haven't played Mario Kart since SNES. This video (after figuring out how to turn off auto steering) was huge.
Sma3
Coming from a pretty decent Mario Kart DS/Wii player, most of this is already known, but there was also much that I learned from this video. Good on you for giving us a helping hand.
2:17 to 2:19 Tip #8 After going off the ramp you can preform a trick when going through the hoop. This can also be done on maps such as the Ski slope one.
Hi, great video, I just wanted to say that this shortcut in the Mount Wario at 7:58 doesn't need a mushroom, you can always take it.
Your choice of kart and wheels has a significant impact on how long your boosts after drifting last
Thanks 👍 didn't know
Thank you. The drift boost helped me soooooooo much! This video was super useful!
Most appreciated! The game didn't show me any of this, had no idea about the boosts
1 thing I've always wondered since gliders were added: Does weight have any influence on the effectiveness of gliders? I've been assuming lighter characters can stay in the air longer, while heavier characters might benefit more from diving and then pulling up.
Geoffrey Perrin That isn't really important, because most of the time you want to get to the ground as soon as you can. But there are 2 types of gliders: acceleration and speed gliders. There is something called "Hidden Stats" for example Air Speed, Water Speed and so on. The acceleration glider has a bit more acceleration, which you can actually see, if you select one, but the speed gliders have more hidden stats in speed, so you are overall a little bit faster.
MartiSparky As of MK8DX speed gliders now have a visual difference on the stat screen (It was changed from -1 acceleration but +1 weight to -1 acceleration but +1 weight and +1 speed)
Weight does not affect gliders, to stay up longer simply press down, vice verses trying to go down. Also, some glider areas have more of a benefit of staying up and some have a benefit of diving.
Geoffrey Perrin some gliders can give you more weight.
MK Wii veteran here, I haven’t played in so long I felt like this was my first Mario kart game
Good stuff Alex! I've only played a little and was getting destroyed for most part. This should help. Didn't know half of these little tricks. BIG THANKS!!!
Can’t forget about drift brake. Quick tap on b while you’re drifting to drop your speed and hit corners even tighter
Do the time trials to optimize your lines. I've learned the courses really well and that helped me tons online. Take the inside turn ALWAYS! The outside may have booster plates, but it's still faster to take the inside. Grab the double item box whenever you can, ESPECIALLY when you're in first. It's a rarity that you'll get double coins. However, there's a huge chance one of those is a coin and the other is something you can defend yourself.
Thank you, as a new racer on the track i didnt know carts had stats
There are hidden stats
Haven't played MK in too long, and in watching this I've realized I've forgotten more than I remember. More vids please ;)
One tip in regard to the items, if you are holding a bomb and a red shell is on its way, let drop the bomb shortly before you anticipate the shell to hit you so you can get out of the blast radius before the bomb goes off. Also, holding the steering Joystick/button backwards will drop/throw items behind you and doing the same but forwards will throw the items in front of you.
2:57
Wrong, they have 4 uses.
4. Boo Shield
SuperStamps Music do u know what button defends u with ur own item
@@canyon7898 I mean you can hold on to a coin so a boo can steal that instead of your good item
I don't even own Mario kart 8 deluxe yet I watch the whole video, I need a life
same
Tip: start liking it
My brother was kind enough to let me borrow his system while he was home for the holidays. I was mostly stuck in my room sick, so he wanted me to have distraction. He also wanted me to play on his account so he’d get first place trophies for all the 50cc tournaments and half the 100cc tournaments, lol. I’m thinking I’ll see if I can get the system for my birthday (in May) , so I’m watching videos in the interim to improve more while I wait. Mwahahaha.
@@SunflowerSpotlight Nice! I'd really recommend it. People say the switch is better than the Wii U, but you can get the Wii U for less money, and (most of) the games are kind of the same.
same XD
This was super helpful because you not only explained what to do but also how to do it! Thanks for that!
In 200cc things are very different. Pick lightweight characters for high acc. Use the brake while drifting to keep in control, and drift on tight corner jumps. Aside from that, great vid!
i watched this video in hopes of improving my skills but i already knew all of these tips 😂
7 tips for people who have never played Mario Kart!
@Griffin Stewart yep
corrr that rainbow road one is well sneaky, I forgot about the first jump, but didn't know about the 2nd one, thanks dude 😀👍
7:58 that brings so many memories from mario kart 7, there was a similar shortcut
When you want to know how everyone is thrashing you, then you watch a video that describes everything you’ve been doing anyway: 👁👄👁 I must be so bad at Mario kart
u forgot the "use brakes in 200cc" tip
I didn’t know about number 5 until a few weeks ago, it’s helped so much
I've only just started, so thanks. What I'm finding hard is transitioning from 100cc to 150cc and that cloud rainbow map. I keep falling off the edge and hitting walls. Do you need to break? Or is it just earlier drifting?
You should also mention that MK8D is the first to have a tutorial section with lots of these tips. Tailgating and Drift brake included. I also think it's worth noting tricks for dodging the evil red shell
1. hugging the walls of the track and making super tight turns around obstacles will sometimes get it to crash
2. be a total jerk and simply move directly in front of another kart when the warning of impending doom appears.
tips for dodging blue shell
1. "Music" box lol
2. A well timed mushroom
number 2 is NOT true. For some trick ramps, if you trick instead of just keep drifting, you might hit the wall for going too fast. And by drifting more, you’ll get a larger boost.
*in 200cc.
Hey man this is super great the switch recently has taken over my gaming and I needed some sweet tips! Great job love the video!
About the start boost,its better on higher difficulty to not do the boost since you will fall behind and get a good item to use when you drift into 1st since everyone is close together
ik it might be a translation difference, but we call jump boosts in australia tricks?
starry moonlit galaxy orbit
I live in the US and I call them tricks.
Are you serious? A translation difference? LOL. You do a jump (and a trick by hitting the button) and get a boost. Call it whatever you want, we all speak English.
I call it tricks too, I dunno I think everyone calls it that, except for him.
I think they were called tricks in MKW, dunno on MK7 as I never played it, but in MK8 they seem to call them jump boosts in this game. I still say tricks tho.
Funny, because 'trick boost' seems like the most accurate way to describe it.
“ 7 tips to help you win “ beginning of the video: wastes green shell and banana then gets hit by red shell. Me: *facepalm*
if you want the starting boost (the one at the very start of a race), click the button (the arrows, X, or A (depends on which joycon u use)) when you see "2" and then you get the boost
hope you find ths helpful.
The top of the fin around 2:40 is also a good close distance multiple jump boost spot
We should race dude, lemme know ;)
Bruh never knew u played Mario kart
Lol
And tap l quikly if you hit a item box gives you the item earlier
wow I didn't know that
Shiny Decidueye o Hi again
@@galoomba5559 Yes it does, you are somehow doing the unimaginable and managing to do something wrong if it isn't working for you.
Cheers man! I'm participating in an esports tournament and this game is up next so it's a big help
I’m definitely in the camp that takes this stuff for granted but nice video for newcomers to the series :)
watching this so i can destroy my boyfriend next time we play
I do everyone of these
Thanks for the tips!
Great tips! Thanks for posting.
My Tip would be: If you're in first place and get a coin, don't use it right away. When a Buu Huu takes your item, it will be the first in your inventory so you can protect your shell or whatever from Buu Huu's stealing it. Very good against upcoming redshells.
Downside is you can get hit by a greenshell because there is no warning if one comes towards you.
DARK SONIC2112 buu huu? It’s called boo mate wtf
Thank you so fricking much for this! Its helped alot. My 24 year old brother gets beaten all the time by me hahaha he doesnt understand how 😂😂😂
A good thing to note on #4 is that the cart specs are incremental. You only get the next level of stat per every full segment of the gauge that is filled. So that tiny bit into the next bar for top speed could be allocated elsewhere when choosing your glider and bump up your acceleration into the next tier for example.
If there is a turn coming up after a jump, you can hold the drift button and the direction you want to drift into and you will start drifting in that direction when you land.
Lastly when you are in those anti grave parts of the track where you go hover mode, you can get boosts by bumping into other carts. Keep in mind that its better to bump into lighter karts than yourself because you may get thrown around bumping into bowser as baby mario. Where as if you were the heavy bumping into a medium/light or medium into the light, they will get pushed around and you don't loose momentum and get more out of the boost.
Other than those thats a pretty good top 7 tips. My add-ons are more in depth mechanics lol
this was proven false. This is true in 8, but not 8 delux. i'll try to find the video i saw that proved this
Adding on to not using the items, if you save your coin powerups in the upper levels, since you cant get another coin, you will always get a good item from the item boxes
why not just title this "how to play mario kart 8"
I don't agree much with #6. I think this game is all about picking the character and kart that you love, no matter if the stats are bad cuz you still have a chance at winning. #fashionkart
squalltheonly i always choose the best looking cars and not stats and always win
Winning against CPUs or 1000 Online Elo Scrubs, right? Try to win if you get to 10K like me (in the U version)
squalltheonly WELL WHAT IF THEIR IS A DRUNK AND CRAZY DRIVER THAT JUST SPAMS HIS POWER UPS!!!!
HOW WILL YOU SURVIVE THAT HUH?!?!
thats what i thought.
Cougar Killer yeah but you won't win online
Yoshi Plays wow chill out its his opinion
I haven't seen anyone mention this but in Mario Kart 8 deluxe speed is less important because drift boost got a huge buff and it's not listed on the stat menu but different parts have different drift or turbo as it's technically called the kart with the highest being biddybuggy and the kart with the lowest being p-wing (I know it's sad it's a nice kart) but that why so many time trials use biddybuggy which btw that's a good tip I saw someone mention that you should watch time trials and see what routes and techniques they use
My two cents: although coins are important, it is actually way less important than your trajectories. Knowing how to corner all your turns is the number one tip. You will always be better at 0 coins and good corners than someone with 10 coins and bad trajectories.
I can see in the video that you often go out of your way for coins or don't corner properly: that ends up with a lot of time lost at the end of the day.
Only once you master how to corner and all the good trajectories of all maps that you can start thinking about how to get more coins fast.

For the jump boost one you can also shake you controller to do that and it's best for tilt controls.
