Busting 20 Mario Kart Myths 

Myth: If you spam the jump button after touching the pole in Super Mario 3d World, the character will do a short jump.

It's actually pretty nuts how many of these were new to me. I watch vids like this all the time and almost everything was something I hadn't heard about. Fantastic job!

Those missions from Mario Kart Wii weren’t totally unused. They used to have bi-monthly tournaments you could participate in and that’s what they were things like what you showed in the video. My theory is they planned for mission mode to come back in Mario Kart Wii but they ran out of time due to Nintendo wanting the game out by a certain date so they scrapped it. But because they’d done the work on some missions already they just turned them into the tournaments instead. When it came time to make Mario Kart 7 they probably had a discussion on what features to bring back from Mario Kart Wii, and because Mario Kart Wii didn’t have a mission mode it wasn’t considered for Mario Kart 7. And then with Mario Kart 8 since it wasn’t in Mario Kart 7 it once again was left unconsidered and so never returned.

The other day I was playing 8 deluxe online. I had a blue shell in my second slot. I had mushrooms or something in the first slot and found a space to use them and I was like “oh let me get rid of this blue shell” not realizing I was in first at that point and blued myself online 😂😂. It was so embarrassing.

This channel has expanded so much in just a few years! There are challenge videos, myth busting, shorts, and so much more! I remember when it only have 5k subs and gained barely 20 for each video. This channel is proof that if you keep trying and work hard, you’ll make it.

Pety piahna also appeared in mario kart tour. Also, you cannot blue shell yourself in 1st in mario kart tour.

There is an entire speedrunning category called blue yourself

Miyamoto: Sonic might be one of the drivers! Also Miyamoto: *rejects Sonic for Mario Kart Wii*

(2:55) Just because a thing is scrapped doesn't mean it isn't in the game. It could still exist in the game, just not accessible through normal means. A bug or code injection could give you access to it, if it still remains in the game.

6:32 At least DK got his son a ticket so he could go spectate in Waluigi Stadium whilst his father went Go-Karting with his best friend... (Darn, DK is a terrible dad.) 11:51 One could call them "The Mario Bros." ;) And a Final Myth: The owner of the Channel Infinite Bits is called "Bread".

"[DK Jr] never returned. Except for Tour, but _that doesn't count."_ "However, [Petey Piranha] has only appeared _one time_ before-- in Double Dash." You can't get away with saying this.

The Feather never showed up in the battle mode of Mario Kart 8, only showed up in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

I remember a long time ago me and my sister accidentally discovered the same character glitch on Wii and we didn't know how to replicate it so we were scared to change characters

Myth: Birdo is a secret character in mario kart ds Myth: Mario kart 8 is the only mario kart without repeat music

Myth: In Mario Kart Wii, Lakitu can get squished by a thwomp.

_Nokonoko_ is what Koopa Troopas are called in Japanese.

Yup the hidden boxes under the donut battle arinna might have the cape feather in them

Yo that’s crazy I’ve wanted to all play as the same character before 11:22! Keep doing these videos there great!

11:24 I came upon this glitch a few times. Me and my bros would always fight over yoshi, but only one person could play. Howev, one time, this actually happened! Also, I remember the yoshis being different colors.

Fun fact about how far the bullet bill goes. It is based on how many opponents the bill passes. The bullet starts to slow down after you pass a certain amount of opponents. I think it’s five or six. So you can theoretically go further in second place than last place depending on how many players you pass

I remember as a kid using that one trick in Mario kart Wii to have four funky kongs at ones

The first one from Double Dash is awesome

the "2 players selecting the same character myth" is actually an glitch if you do an complex series of actions

The bullet bill duration is determined by how far you are from the players ahead of you. If you’re really far behind, you get some insane distance out of it

I don’t usually comment but I’ve been watching this channel since you had 10k subs. I’m so glad that you are finally getting the attention you deserve. Congrats on 100k🎉

I find it funny that the lakitu fish one is a "myth", I played double dash every weekend with friends around release and the fish thing happened so often

8:40 Yeah I knew about that since the time when Super Mario Kart was the only Mario Kart back in the '90s. It definitely adds to the challenge but what is also funny about it is that peach and toad will still try to throw the poison mushrooms at you and if you run into one will make you back into your normal size again.

Someone else already said it, but those missions in Mario Kart Wii actually did make it into the game. In the online mode, they periodically made these small competitions where you had to fight bosses or do special races while competing for the best times with players around the world. If I remember right, there even was a German Nintendo magazine that gave out small rewards for people with the best times.

Amazing video. I'll try to help give vid ideas

I'm very late but Congrats on 100k subs I started watching your videos when you had 72k subs

A few thoughts from me... Hiding from Blue Shell: The Blue Shell travels around the track to find and hit 1st Place, as it should; that's where you're supposed to be. Being all the way up there though, you're not on the main track anymore and thus not in the Blue Shell's pathing... But then again, staying up there in a real race means you're not going to keep first place so what's the point? Blue Yourself: Yeah, this is an actual category speedrunners do. See Skilloz's video for all those details. Particularly, the category was in Mario Kart 8 whereas Bits is playing Double Dash. Blow on Dandelions: You could pass through them while blowing potentially and pretend like your blowing destroyed the dandelions as opposed to your vehicle. Would be an odd way to implement microphone controls in a racing game... Wait, the Wii U had a microphone?

Hey Infininte Bits! Can you bring back the hardest challenge series with Super Mario 3D Land or any other game?

If only the Sonic myth was confirmed, he would be *dashing* on the *double*. Either way, good video as always Infinite Bits! 👍

When I was a young girl, one day I went to load up Super Mario Kart. Unknown to me, my controller was not fully plugged into the SNES, so it wasn't sending controller input signals correctly. I tried to select my racer, and my racer shrank. I was certainly surprised. I can only assume that due to my controller connection being lose, it sent the signals for that command even though I wasn't actually pushing that button sequence. I reset my SNES and the same thing still happened. I fixed the "glitch" when I checked my controller connection and found it loose. Curious about this, I started experimenting with button press combinations and I finally found one that shrank me. I beleive it was "L Y and A". The L button was unnecessary, but I was holding it as I was experminting. When my controller was loose, I couldn't actually start the race because pressing the confirm button shrank and enlarged my racer. But this "button combo" I had found let me start the race. I couldn't believe it let me race as a shrunk racer. I don't know if I was the "first" to discover the trick. This was before the Internet was wide-spread. I didn't even have a computer, and it didn't cross my mind to write into Nintendo Power with my discovery. A few months later I believe I saw the trick show up in Nintendo Power and I was like "Hey! That's the shrink trick I found!". But it is a trick I discovered for myself thanks to a loose controller.

Mario party,RPG or Tennis myths?

Theory: Donkey Kong Jr. could’ve shrunk down and changed his name to Diddy Kong as Donkey Kong's new son.

Bluing Yourself is a speedrun category that actually has a surprising history.

Let’s go man 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥you helped me throught tough times I’m so glad you uploaded today thanks man

You should bust kirby myths (if there Are any)

Myth: this video is awesome - CONFIRMED

Actually, sonic is a mii suit in mario kart 8, so technically sonic is in mario kart.

I've heard that if this channel gets to 200k subs we'll have good luck for the rest of the year! Let's bust this myth too!!

I think these are my favorite videos that you do I love them thank you

I swear I am the ONLY one to notice that if you keep pressing the item button after you pickup an item and it's shuffling through them, it will land on an item faster. I've noticed this since as far back as Mario Kart Wii... Just me?

half of these are just obscure lost media trivia rather than gameplay myths

I haven't heard of these myths before, but seeing Double Dash gameplay brings back memories, it's one of my favorite GameCube games up there with Super Mario Sunshine (Which is my favorite Mario Game of all time) and Animal Crossing.

11:16 Me and my bros always does that when we wanna play one character.

Luigi’s eyes on the main screen of virtual cup… 7:13

Got a Trick ive been doing for for years on mario kart 64. When you do the speed boost in the beginning of the race, use the kart in front of you as a ramp and use the jump button and you will jump in the front of the pack.

Double dash was my favorite game. Used to love being the person on the back so I could punch people on other cars when they passed close

8:30 I think Nintendo should look into this. This could definitely be a part of Mario Kart 9.

Blue Shells aren't that smart in Double Dash

the myth video format is so good!

The multiple characters in Mario Kart Wii glitch kind of reminds me of another glitch I found a few years ago in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. From what I've seen, you'd have to select a character and pick a skin. Say, green Kirby. After selecting green Kirby, remove that player from the game and select green Kirby again in a different player slot. Once you have the desired amount of green Kirby's, you'd have to activate team mode, activate all player slots with green Kirby in them and then deactivate team mode.

2:56 the feather was most likely scrapped due to hardware limitations, just like Luigi in sm64, after all the N 64 only has 64mb to deal with.

I got one for ya. On SNES w/ the shrinking characters on the screen, on a REAL SNES (mine anyways) if you slowly plug the controller in and out, it'll shrink the characters.

The "Feather" is included in Mario Kart 64. Like a couple others that you considered "Confirmed" it is there but buried, it is used in the Award Ceremony though to get the characters to jump onto the podium

It's been some time since I've last seen your videos, I'm glad to see you finally got picked up by the algorythm. Keep up with the great content !

So that's the Double Dash blue shell in this video and the Wii blue shell in a much older one I've seen before. I'm guessing the one in 64 also hits yourself (yes, 64 has the blue shell, and it even marks the first time a shell in any of the games has ever made a "traveling" sound, but the CPU player item code is incomplete in 64 so shells of any type cannot be used by CPUs), but I wonder if the later dev teams ever saw this as a "problem" to be fixed?

so, I found your channel by complete accident yesterday and I've been binge watching your videos since. I gotta say, I love your content mate, I wish I found you sooner though. Kepp up the great work!

I have one that adds on to the "wii select the same character." 2 Players select Luigi. Win as first and second. In the winning ceremony screen, one of the Luigi's will be replaced by a Mii version. I've only ever had this work as Luigi (I've only also tried Mario, Walugi, and Yoshi so maybe others do.)

What if sonic appears in the mk8 deluxe? That would be awesome.

The blue shell thing is actually an entire speedrun category - blue yourself

Do one in the Mario kart double dash that in Yoshi's Island there's a tunnel there in if you stay there and any other player shoots the blue shell it's hidden just like a mushroom bridge

@Infinite Bits: You miss this for Super mario kart If you bought a used cartridge of Super Mario kart and their is still someone else save file, and you want to do all the cup by yourself on the title screen before the demo start, and also before the screen of choseing 1 player 2 player game. Hold the button on the controler so it spell out LARY and then you will receive the option to deleted data. This is usefull in nintendo switch online if you accidently enter the special edition version where 150cc is already unlock for you and you can give it an attempt on trying to unlock it yourself by using this code however leaving the game, and resetting the game will return the 150cc unlock again in the special edition so to continued trying to unlock yourself in the special edition save state.

Myth: You can find Item Boxes underneath the road in the saturn section on Rainbow Road in Mario Kart 7.

there is a whole speedrun category called "blue yourself" in mario cart 8

You can jump the wall at the very beginning of Warios Stadium on the 64. This is how me and my mom cheat and win every time 😆

That alternate N64 Bowser’s Castle custom track from Mario Kart Wii would make a great track in the next Mario Kart title.

Not only does the bullet bill last longer in last place but it also goes so much faster that in first it’s barely a buff at all but in last it’s op

The Kalamara Desert one is actually in the shortcut guide for Mario Kart 64 and speed runners use it, so it's not much if a myth

Thats happend to me too without holding X and Y, it coming randomly ‏‪8:06‬‏

I love this video

"When your first place" please no 😂 I do love the content but maybe some additional proof reading would be good? Either way, you got yourself a sub.

TBH, some of the things listed here are features like the mini mode in SMk or the blue shell one hiring yourself if you are 1st place

It's funny that "blue yourself" is a speedrun category

The same person who made the bowser's castle secret route made the same thing but with toad factory

For the petey piranha many people belive that mario kart 8 deluxe booster path will have him but were still not sure

I Was So Exited When I Heard All These Stories From Double Dash Then Came 6:15 And Broke My Heart (I Did The Fish Tho)

Myth: you can unlock Kirby in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe!

Mario Kart XXL reminds me of that early version of Banjo-Pilot (it may have been called Banjo-Kazoomie at the time, but I'm not 100% sure) which also had 3D graphics on the GBA

Fun fact: if you play Mario Kart 64 in Japanese as Wario and you go on a banana peel, he will say "So ein Mist"

@Infinite Bits: You want to play Super mario kart in 1 player game but you where such in a rush you plug your controler into player 2 port by mistake and already have the game on, and even thought their is not player 1 controler the game does not give you an error message, so you notice that you can still control with player 2 controler but if you try to enter a one player game with player 2 controler it does not work, but to make it work hold L and R and while holding L and R on player 2 controler when 1 player game is selected press start or B on player 2 controler while still holding L and R. You will be player a 1 player grand prix using player 2 screen and the Map screen and review screen will be on the top, also you will start the first race on position 7th the same spot that player 2 start. You can even play time trial this way, after doing this if you return with player 1 controler playing a 1 player game when you attempt to select a character the default selection would be what Cpu was using starting on position 8th on the first race.

One of my biggest question about Mario Kart. In the 64 version, does DK have a way to cheat his way to the front on Peaches Castle by going through the castle? I have been doing well, then he inexplicably jumps way ahead of me, so much so that I have never been able to catch him when he does it.

Myth: with it you go into the tunnel in kalimari desert with a star activated you'll complete an entire lap so then can you finish the entire track using that glitch

I remember seeing DKJR as a background character cheering in Double Dash.

Myth: Luigi sounds like Mario in Super Smash Bros 64 and Super Smash Bros Melee.

the mario kart wii mission mode was very obviously scrapped in favor of the online tournaments, which basically did the exact same thing as mission mode but a new tournament would appear on the mario kart channel every once in a while and you could see everyone else who also did it and compare scores/times. the stage seen in the footage is galaxy colosseum, a tournament only arena where you battled against that topman

The blue shell first place one is more common in mario kart 64 in koopa troopa beach. Right next where the shortcut ends if you pick up the box that is on top of the block you're guaranteed to get a blue shell no matter your placement. So yes, you can get a blue shell at first place and if you use it then you would hit yourself

These are some mind bending findings 👌 I never knew about any of these tbh

its funny because when i cross the finish line on lap 3/3 the cpu hit me with a red shell or blue shell most of the time when my character is in the final results animation.

Myth: At the end of the level Trick Trok tower you can jump behind the red platform with a cat suit and stand in it.

Petey Piranha got brought back in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

6:52 Might be because they went so close while blowing that they went on it

Hope that one day in Mario kart they add character exclusive karts. That way we could have a running sonic or a Kirby with his warp star.

I would love to see Sonic within a Mario Kart game

I used a blue shell accidentally in 1st place... Whoopsie

Watching this video I actually know most of these but it is cool

make this a series, and call it "Infinite Myths"

Me and my brother accidentally did this glitch as kids in Mario kart wii and we both played waluigi at the same time
