Trying to get every placement/position once consecutively, with no repeats. All of 1st to 12th in just 12 races. A fun and hard Mario Kart challenge! How to get Better at Mario Kart: • FULL Beginner Guide | ...
Yeah any specific middle spot is really tough. Depending on the level of the room you're in, 1st and 2nd could be even harder than that! You have to strategize accordingly
Shortcat: “I think 1st is going to be the hardest place to get” Also Shortcat “I think 2nd place is going to be the hardest place to get” Also Shortcat “I think the middle spots are going to be the hardest to get
Another challenge: Make a wheel of challenges! every race you have to spin the wheel. Some ideas for the wheel: play without collecting coins, upside down controller, no items, no shortcuts, play with mittens, worst combo for etc.
no drifting (is it even viable today lets be honest), play with joycons and gyro controls (since shortcat plays with gc controller), no looking back, no minimap, use all items immediately, use only [certain type of item], longest routes, widest/worst lines, only glider/never glider when there's an option, play until x consecutive 1st places, 50cc, play 5ft from monitor, invert colors, flip display (vertical or horizontal), always have joystick fully engaged in a direction, only looking back, no audio, block out middle portion of screen (permanent blooper), backwards controller (buttons face away from player), random combo imagine how entertaining/infuriating this would be also if there was an irl cam of some sort, whether controller or monitor or face etc shortcat if you read this, sorry in advance for your upcoming nightmares
Everybody's got a plan until they get punched in the face. I'm pretty sure Iron Mike was talking about professional boxing, but it also applies to Mario Kart with the items doing the punching.
I loved everything about this video! The same shortcat commentary we all love, the amount of skill (and luck) that you have, and the fact that you listened to your viewer’s suggestion for a video. All of that makes you such a good RU-vidr! Also I felt every single emotion that you had during and after the last race haha
shortcat! there was a mario kart tournament at my residency building and i made it to the final 4 showdown- until they made us switch controllers as a twist and i got an inside drift bike. now i am traumatized forever. thank you for teaching me all my mario kart skills!!!!
Video idea: a list of all bullet extensions. I know you have your Every Shortcut series, but I find it hard to find info about bullet extensions, it would be great to have a resource for that :)
imo the way to do this is to show them in order of most to least time saved. there are some of these out there but it's hard to find the most important ones to focus on learning when they're all mixed with the 1 or 2 second ones
Two challenges that may or may not be fun; 1 - take the slowest route in every race and see if you can win 2 - spam every item as soon as you get it and see if you can win
(For the above replies, the Athen’s Dash cave shows up at 10:46, when he was going up the stairs.) Yes to the first one. Always taking the coin path, going for shortcut (whether shroomless or not cause certain shortcuts just aren’t fast enough), avoiding shortcuts like MK8’s rainbow road’s cross cut, and just generally taking paths you’d never think to take like the cannon on Yoshi’s valley would make an absolute amazing video to watch as it not only tests his track knowledge and forces him to use items in weird spots you’d never think to use them, but makes an excuse for him to show off his shroomless cut knowledge. Just one caveat needs to be in place or else it’s absolutely impossible outside of probably just the rainbow roads and the F-zero tracks; “if you need a mushroom to take the shortcut and you don’t have anything for it, then you don’t need to take it.” Pretty sure he’s already done the second one, though I might be misremembering a different challenge.
Only removing the positions before the last duplicate really opens up some interesting strategy for if you have to pick a least-worst option (say on the last one getting 12th would be very bad since you'd reset back to nothing)
Hey purblaze! I saw you saying hi a few times, but I was so busy behind the scenes with the recording and figuring out which placements I had done. They were fun races! Nice green snipe on electrodrome
I'm an old-school Mario Kart guy. SNES, N64, GC, Wii. Your videos have helped me surpass my nephews in MK8 who no longer talk smack but sit quietly or rage as they take a consistent whooping from Baby Peach 😆 Thanks buddy. Love your commentary!
My ps5 stopped working and for the past 2 weeks I've been playing so much mario kart, discovered your videos and i'm addicted, i love your personality,your videos are so chill and relaxing!!
man, you sure have a knack for making these exciting at the end, lol the amount of space between 4th and 6th there at the end was miniscule, i know there was a lot of luck / guessing involved but that was still incredibly good by you props for never backing out of the room to get better track selection, don't think anyone would have judged you for doing that
Shortcat I want you to do a challenge. It’s a little bit similar to the can’t use item challenge but instead you just spam the items. I think it might be a cool challenge.
Shortcat i have watched you ever since your first inside drift challenge and always thought you where a great content creator and always gave great advice, so fun to se how much you ahve grown! keep the good work up
this was one of the most entertaining mario kart videos i’ve watched in A WHILE. i’ve never watched this channel before but i hope to see more like this!
This challenge was super interesting, creative and definitely felt nerve-racking indeed haha! 😅😅 OMG, that YES at the end must’ve felt so satisfying 😆😆😆
Excellent strategy on your 5th place finish! You taught me how to solve the Rubiks cube but I don’t think I can follow you in Mario kart, way too fast for me. You’re an awesome guy Dylan, God bless you! Blue
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1163">19:23</a> is so goofy! I've never seen anyone glitch through ice before! You are officially Glitchcat now! Also, the game was being VERY serious. 😂
Love the video shortcat! Since I just got the game and am at 2000 vr, I almost always win or get second, since my skill thanks to you is closer to 15000
Great video!!! also, idea for a challenge: pick like 3-8 characters and every time you lose a race (You don't get first or second), you can't play as that character anymore. The challenge ends when you run out of characters from your selected group, and the goal of the challenge is to see how many races you can win before running out of "lives" [that being the 3-8 characters u chose]. hope that sounds interesting and also I hope u have a great rest of ur day/evening!
That was a sick ending, gj! also ig if you couldnt get 5th, you could try to aim for the least recent spot you got so you stay at 11 out of 12 progress
I've been trying to find any confirmation of this since I realized a few weeks back. Their voices are sooo similar, and honestly the way in which he explains things and whatnot feels the same too. Either way, I'm glad to see a good content creator enjoying making content
Yessss you did the don shnack challenge!! I was waiting!! (I call it that because donshnack created it, did it, and then raysfire did it, and now you!)
@@bonkdonk297 yeah but that's counterintuitive in this case because racing always counts lower numbers as higher placements, and OP was talking about the placements
@@J75Pootle I've seen it be used pretty interchangeably in mariokart groups ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I never really considered either to be more right than the other, except in the case of real racing
Anyone else want to see Shortcat try out Battle mode? I honestly spent more time battling on Funky Stadium as a kid than doing any sort of Grand Prix or Versus. Love the videos; keep up the good work!
Challenge idea: Spin a wheel with every item in the game and whichever item it lands on is the only one you can use. Once you win using that item you spin again
You should do video where you do a mario kart bingo. You could have various challenges or just random events (stuff ranging from making the DK summit gap jump to even getting mariokarted). Personally i think it would be a fun video, maybe you could also do the challenge against somebody else.
Great video, that 5th at the end was so clutch. Maybe you could make a video on the best bullet/shock spots in the game, as those are quite hard to find on RU-vid.
I love seeing the diff characters/combos, never even knew the first motorcycle existed and I don’t think I’ve ever heard a Mario woohoo voice line since mk wii when I only played Mario wild wing growing up (coolest character and car for a 9 year old) it’s a great change from seeing the same combos over and over
Great video! I can’t remember who but someone else made the same video but had made it so if he got a place he already got he hade to restart the WHOLE challenge and he even live streamed it but made it into a normal length video but because he went live his chat kept joining the room he was in and practically everyone was going after him.
The way you moved the window down for your 2nd time getting second is what we call Sliding Window technique. A very useful algorithm. Never seen it used outside of CS
