That is *actually* the worst. Because that means you have this item that, if you use it, will harm you, and you can't easily get rid of it to be able to pick up a new item.
The blue shell is not the worst item to get in first place if you don't use it. It's indestructible and serves as a great defensive item. It's also great when someone overtakes you.
Annihilationzh But you can't even pick up any other items unless you use the Blue Shell, which would cause you to hit yourself. What item _is_ the worst to get in first if not the Blue Shell?
The funniest thing is, I remember being better at MK64 when I was younger too. I got my N64 back not too long ago and tried to play MK64 -- completely failed hardcore. It is a mystery of the universe.
Stephen, when the AI is behind they go faster and when they are ahead the go slower, it was an tactic to make the AI more challenging to all player levels without taking up too much space on the cartridge.
I always thought that Toad's Turnpike on Extra (Mirror in other Mario Kart Games) was the hardest Track in the game, and easily goes into the top 3 Hardest MK tracks ever. I don't know if it is just me but every time I hit a car I get comboed by another one before I can even drive. As far as 15 minutes past the game has started no the game doesn't immediately end the game
Your choice if you want to keep track of points for all of the cups, but one thing to keep in mind: the point system is not standard across the Mario Kart games. For example, in this game, you earn 9 points for a first place finish. But in Wii, you earn 15 points for a first place finish, and you also earn points for every place except last. So, it would be a little wonky to have points carry across, but then again, we're only determining a winner by wins.
10:43 funny you mention that stephen i was just rewatching the series and did keep track of the points. I ignored the battles for this as i had no set point system for it and believe it or not, if you went by total points you actually won by 35 points Stephen: 954 Mal: 919 (Assuming of course i made no mistakes in calculations, and again not counting the battle points, will come up with a score point system and respond)
My dad was watching too and he knows nothing about stephen and mal and he's like, "Peach is good." I answered, "Yeah, that's his Wife, mal." "Wife?!" "Uhhuh." "He sucks. His wife is doing much better." *laugh*
just searched it up and peach is the top tier character on mario kart 64 because she is in the middle weight class but she has an acceleration rate almost the same as yoshi and toad. Yoshi and toads only flaw is that they are really light and get knocked around, but peach doesnt because she is a middleweight.
I agree that in game points should count, and it should not be 1 point per cup. This greatly reduces the likely hood of a draw, not to mention, the numbers will be much bigger.
I can't ever remember getting a lightning bolt in 1st, ever... and I was in 1st quite often in versus modes. O.o. Fun video, I'd enjoy doing a few versus matches with someone and have them uploaded to the wonderful cyber world of youtube. I still believe I'm quite the N64 kart master. Haha.
Also, I really think the computers in Mario Kart 64 aren't playing fair. Stephen had a golden mushroom and still couldn't catch Yoshi, AND Toad managed to keep up with him easily and eventually pass him up...
Btw, I don't know if you guys know this, but if you hit a banana peel, you can avoid spinning out by pressing "B," then "A" really fast. I haven't finished the episode, though, so this info may be useless.
Man, I forgot how brutal the AI was in this game. Also, I feel slightly guilty for rooting for Mal. Probably because I am also a man who is happily married to a woman who lovingly torments me all the time. It's fun watching someone else get tormented, haha.
Exactly 100th comment. And I decided that I will root for Stephen because the point of him being Luigi for this sort of game must mean that he is racing for the cause to find a cure to Luigi's Parkinsons desease.
Y'know, I was rooting for Mal at first, but after this complete domination...I just..God, I'm stumped on who to root for! Guess I'll just wait and see how this develops! =3
I'm so glad that Nintendo fixed Blue Shells so that you won't get them in first anymore. I once got one when I was against one of my friends so I instantly used it and it hit me. That was absolute bullshit.
Stephen, someone should tell you by now that the game cheats... the computers go faster when you are in first to make sure you have trouble winning, and they go slower when you are behind so that you can catch up... in this case, Mal was in first and you were in last, so they were going crazy fast to catch up with her, leaving you in the dust...
If you're going to correct butt, better correct everything else. It should be, Mal is kicking your butt. I have ten dollars on Mal to win the whole game.
Can you not do the thing where you get surrounded in the shiny thing if you go fast enough in the older Mario Kart games? You know what I'm talking about, right? I call it the "Carmeyhahmeyhah", if that's how you spell it.
Stephen, Please please please invite Chugga and one of the other TRGs over to play some of these games. I would love seeing you guys having y fun and considering how funny you and ur wife are, you two would be perfect to be in TRG to shake things up.
In the earlier games it was the general speed of the game, 50 being slow-paced and 150 being hectic as all hell. In the new games, it only controls the CPUs, so it basically controls difficulty.
i can’t believe this series is TEN years old 😭 i come back and watch it every time i’m recovering from a sickness (currently a head cold)
Lightning in first doesn't make sense? I've gotten a Blue Shell in first place before. And yes, if you get that, it will attack you.
That is *actually* the worst. Because that means you have this item that, if you use it, will harm you, and you can't easily get rid of it to be able to pick up a new item.
Its a use for rubber banding cpus.
The blue shell is not the worst item to get in first place if you don't use it. It's indestructible and serves as a great defensive item. It's also great when someone overtakes you.
Annihilationzh But you can't even pick up any other items unless you use the Blue Shell, which would cause you to hit yourself. What item _is_ the worst to get in first if not the Blue Shell?
Why do you need other items when you have the ultimate defensive item?
If anything, I'd say the worst item is probably the banana.
Gotta enjoy that rubber-band AI.
Mario Kart 64 had insane rubber-band AI.
The funniest thing is, I remember being better at MK64 when I was younger too. I got my N64 back not too long ago and tried to play MK64 -- completely failed hardcore. It is a mystery of the universe.
I guess the machanics are changeing so youd need to reajust to them
Stephen, when the AI is behind they go faster and when they are ahead the go slower, it was an tactic to make the AI more challenging to all player levels without taking up too much space on the cartridge.
5:36 I love that little scream or whatever you did Stephen
I laughed out loud when I saw Luigi all alone during the awards ceremony. (13:21)
Kinda fitting that it was Luigi out there...forever alone...
I always thought that Toad's Turnpike on Extra (Mirror in other Mario Kart Games) was the hardest Track in the game, and easily goes into the top 3 Hardest MK tracks ever. I don't know if it is just me but every time I hit a car I get comboed by another one before I can even drive.
As far as 15 minutes past the game has started no the game doesn't immediately end the game
I think it is really cool that the characters in this game are actually 2D sprites.
Watching this in 2017 and it’s still hilarious u guys should start another “vs” lp

I've played this game for years and never knew that. Learn something new every day.
Mal is clearly the better at controlling on this map! perfect movement between cars

(Assuming of course i made no mistakes in calculations, and again not counting the battle points, will come up with a score point system and respond)
You know, I was thinking that Stephen would make a comeback off of last episode...I'm changing my bets. Go Mal!
8:37 its called ruberband ai stephen
Roland Kramer and speed up when your in front of them
"I'm coming up the rear" Stephen, 2013
On a rubber band mechanic that increases the computers speed based on how far away you are! I think its used in major as mask as well
Congrats on 50K subscribers Stephen!!!
Well, you know what they say about assumptions :P also. I'm revisiting this series, still Team Mal. You're awesome.
There was so much hope in this episode.
Growing up, my brother and I called the blue shell "spike." Never heard it called blue shell until a couple years ago...
0:38 memorable momments
Mal was making some nice turns between the cars, like at 3:23
After the last race was the best part
Mal sounded like a strange pokemon at 1:25
"I'm coming up the rear." - Stephen Georg 2013
My dad was watching too and he knows nothing about stephen and mal and he's like, "Peach is good." I answered, "Yeah, that's his Wife, mal." "Wife?!" "Uhhuh." "He sucks. His wife is doing much better." *laugh*
“Thank you, Donkey Kong, for being such a jackass” STephen!

Toad's Turnpike is one of the Retro courses that I hope gets to be in Mario Kart 8.
Eight years on, but yay you!
I agree that in game points should count, and it should not be 1 point per cup.
This greatly reduces the likely hood of a draw, not to mention, the numbers will be much bigger.
And off-screen, Stephen gets blown up by a Bob-Omb for not placing...
I can't ever remember getting a lightning bolt in 1st, ever... and I was in 1st quite often in versus modes. O.o. Fun video, I'd enjoy doing a few versus matches with someone and have them uploaded to the wonderful cyber world of youtube. I still believe I'm quite the N64 kart master. Haha.
the AI in all the Mario karts have rubber band AI which means they can go as fast as you are no matter what (unless they crash in to something)
Also, I really think the computers in Mario Kart 64 aren't playing fair. Stephen had a golden mushroom and still couldn't catch Yoshi, AND Toad managed to keep up with him easily and eventually pass him up...
Btw, I don't know if you guys know this, but if you hit a banana peel, you can avoid spinning out by pressing "B," then "A" really fast. I haven't finished the episode, though, so this info may be useless.
Stephen did you know if your in forth your in the background of the winning cutsecene
When you hit a banana peel don't turn and tap the brakes, you will cancel out the banana peel.
Mario Kart Wii and 7 have their great physics, and Mario Kart 64 has its extremely generous item distribution... it evens out in the end, right?
He doesn't have a DS capture board. So he will only focus on the console versions. Minus SNES
I called them Radar Shells. Because they homed in on the person coming first
the wii u doesnt have virtual consel game cube games. i thought it would when too i bought mine.
This game is so nostalgic
It kinda feels weird that the end of the video didn't have that Sonic ring outro :3
I remember the short cuts in this game.
What do you mean it doesn't make any sense? It's random; That means you can get any item at any time.
Instead of the period, it could also be a comma, right?
i wanted to see more races!
Well that's Mario Kart for you (with friends)
Mal is so great at this
First time watching this so I'm going to add the cup in the mix so it's Stephen vs Mal vs all the cpu
Does that still work in the later games?
Stephen are you using the Wii U virtual console version so you can give Nintendo money
Man, I forgot how brutal the AI was in this game.
Also, I feel slightly guilty for rooting for Mal. Probably because I am also a man who is happily married to a woman who lovingly torments me all the time. It's fun watching someone else get tormented, haha.
09:49 - 09:54
Memorable Moment please! XD
Good job Mal. Stephen, you gotta step up yourgame if you wanna win!
Poor Stephen. Just keep on trucking and use the power of WeeGEE, to help you and Luigi!
2017, oh yeah!
Exactly 100th comment. And I decided that I will root for Stephen because the point of him being Luigi for this sort of game must mean that he is racing for the cause to find a cure to Luigi's Parkinsons desease.
Amen to that.
So what is so special about the CCs? Does it change the difficulty? I remember nothing all that different about the game regardless of how I played..
Y'know, I was rooting for Mal at first, but after this complete domination...I just..God, I'm stumped on who to root for! Guess I'll just wait and see how this develops! =3
I'm so glad that Nintendo fixed Blue Shells so that you won't get them in first anymore. I once got one when I was against one of my friends so I instantly used it and it hit me. That was absolute bullshit.
Go Stephen we believe in you!
Stephen, someone should tell you by now that the game cheats... the computers go faster when you are in first to make sure you have trouble winning, and they go slower when you are behind so that you can catch up... in this case, Mal was in first and you were in last, so they were going crazy fast to catch up with her, leaving you in the dust...
The thing that happens when you are in last is that you get hit by a bomb at the end oh and I really like your video's
Bets on Mal. First two races no doubt
Best game out of all of the Mario Kart series.
Yoshi so happy
If you're going to correct butt, better correct everything else. It should be, Mal is kicking your butt. I have ten dollars on Mal to win the whole game.
Starting to seriously consider switching over to Team Mal for the future. XD
I want you guys to do Toad Turnpike...ON MIRROR! >:D
anyone else besides me trying doing toads turnpike on mirror mode the cars become way harder to dodge
That must be exploiting a bug... Still, I'm not sure, but I read your comment I thought that. Seems logical to me.
I have a question stephan. im sorry i didt'nt message you but whatever. did you ever think about doing league of legends on the chanel?
You can't really help that it was the way it was programmed
Rubber band AI. Mario Kart is infamous for it. >.
I hope mal wins
and I wanted to hear Luigi say He's "Number 1" :(
Can you not do the thing where you get surrounded in the shiny thing if you go fast enough in the older Mario Kart games? You know what I'm talking about, right? I call it the "Carmeyhahmeyhah", if that's how you spell it.
Team Mal all the way! It was sad that the game gave Stephen the win last time, just because he was player 1.
Now I'm willing to bet money that mal is gonna win.
Stephen FTW!
Stephen, Please please please invite Chugga and one of the other TRGs over to play some of these games. I would love seeing you guys having y fun and considering how funny you and ur wife are, you two would be perfect to be in TRG to shake things up.
The draw distance is a foot in this game
In the earlier games it was the general speed of the game, 50 being slow-paced and 150 being hectic as all hell. In the new games, it only controls the CPUs, so it basically controls difficulty.
you are both good and awesome
Error: In the 3rd track Mario got 8 and Bo 7 but the game got that wrong
Go Mal!
They don't. The farther ahead you are, the faster they go, it really sucks and makes it hard to win against ai characters, even on lower difficulties.
its really rare *gets 6,7th place for the final race
Yoshi is awesome
lmao that was so sad XD also I wanna vote Mal.... but doing that after seeing this race looks pretty bad =w=
Hey Stephen how do I upload a video game video like u do?
Darn you Rubberband AAAAAAIIIIII!!!
i am sill voteing for steven
Yeah! Peach has got it.
Stephen, join the competitive MKW community with TWD98 and Wrath19001! *kappakappa*
In my opinion they need to put the cup on 150cc
Well they wanna finish top 4
TH-cam Sucks true true I guess you're right
