DLC WAVE 5 UPDATE Gameplay, New Characters & Courses! | Mario Kart 8 Deluxe 

What's your opinion on wave 5? And what's your favorite character/course in this wave?

As a person from Los Angeles, I can confirm that the people are actually blurry and 2-dimensional, this game got the city spot-on.

Wiggler has a better posture than I have

I love how Shortcat casually checks out the new tracks, takes in the sights and still wins! Absolutely fabulous!

Wish wiggler had more drifting animation with his upper arms while drifting similar to MK7 where he sticks them out to balance or has them flowing back after a speed boost or a fist bump in the air after a turbo boost

Finally I can combine wiggler with a purple cart to get the Wiggler Waluigi.

Wiggler on wiggler with sponge tires is one of the cutest cart combos.

There's one more little alternate on Squeaky Clean Sprint! On the glider section at the lap change, you can bounce off the soap bottle instead of the sink and there's little section with a boost panel

So cool how Wiggler has a smaller kart for a heavy. Might just be the key to toppling the Yoshi Dino-sty once and for all

I love how shortcat is just like giving us a leisurely tour stopping to look at scenery but still getting 1st everytime

Wild Wiggler Wiggler Wigglin'

Vancouver Velocity's first lap seems to be based on Whistler/Squamish and the Capilano suspension bridge. The wooden bridges could be homage to the mountain biking community. But Raincouver doesn't get much snow ironically.

It really is true that a lot of Tour tracks have poor signposting. Like even when I first played MK I don't think I missed turns as often as I do on the city tracks. I know they want to have the multiple route thing, but it's night-and-day with the other tracks in the pack how easy it is to get turned around. And yeah, some of it is pretty ugly, which is disappointing given that a lot of the ported tracks look fine!

squeaky clean sprint actually has 3 alternative paths at the end, if you go off the glider and then to the right you can A: trick off a receipt with 2 coins on it B: go a little more right and trick off a boost panel & a plant afterwards C: go even more right and very high to trick off a boost panel & boost mushroom

Bro stayed behind and studied the tracks and he STILL won. 😂

i'm so glad they brought back Moonview Highway, that was one of my favorite tracks on the Wii :)

kamek is cackling wiggler is wiggling and petey is peeing

I think wiggler should have a transition between angry and normal. It feels weird that it doesn't.

8:33 shortcat the type of guy to say "keeping my eyes peeled ☝️🤓". Big fan, I've seen all of your videos.

I honestly loved the detail of having the 2d audience in the baseball stadium lol. It brought me back to the times when I played Mario sluggers on the wii and even Mario strikers on the GameCube.

Bro I love Kamek he is an extremely awesome character and I’m glad he’s finally in a Mario Kart game as Wave 5 is extremely great as it is a good time

Shortcat casually gets a dub in the first game on a new track whilst taking in the scenery 😂

i just love the Vancouver track cause i live there so its awesome to have a track where i recognize stuff and my favourite character is probably kamek

This wave is great, really pleased with the tracks, especially Daisy Cruiser, Also the characters are great! I

feels pretty poetic to see the King Boo CPU finish right behind petey piranha, it happened to me too! also i’m literally so addicted to the wiggler combo pls help ^my favorite part of wave 5

Shortcat sounds like a kind of guy to solve rubiks cubes on a separate channel 🤔

A lot of changes to some of these courses, like Daisy Crusier and Koopa Cape, originated in their MK7 incarnations.

Yoshi on Yoshi Bike: Finally! A Worthy opponent! Our Battle will be Legendary!

Two minor gripes with Wiggler conpared to 7: no more train whistle sound when he gets mad, and no more arm animation when drifting or boosting (although this change was probably because characters physically hold their items now). Either way I'm super glad my boy is back! New tracks are looking cool too and I'm also happy to see Petey return and Kamek finally get in

The fact that he can literally stop to admire the tracks and still get first is absolutely crazy

As a person from Los Angeles. I can confirm it is all oil around here

The oil pumps is totally a SoCal thing. You will be 200ft from the beach and there will be like 5 tucked in a lot behind a 7-11.

It'd probably be very difficult to keep the game's frame-rate steady on the Switch if they added significant detail to distant parts of the city tracks, so I'd say some of the art choices are about prioritising smooth racing! Personally I think the levels look gorgeous and that there's something nice and impressionistic about the faraway buildings being more like silhouettes, but I understand why other people prefer more detail.

As an Iggy main who uses Yoshi Bike, I see the Kamek as an absolute win. (I use paper glider just bc I like how it looks didn’t even know it was meta until I played more. I do use Leaf Tires because I prefer how they look to Rollers)

I want to see all the memes about Petey Piranha getting bit by his own kind, salute the guy for knowing he'd be going in there facing off against his own family.

Petey on the scooter is the combo i have been waiting for FINALLY I CAN USE IT

I can’t wait for the new vids with the new update. I love your content!

On Squeaky Clean Sprint, you can trick on the drain plug in the sink at the very beginning. You can tilt forwards to sink faster.

0:15 WIGGLER ON DA WIGGLER 🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥

2:37 Oh now i know how you still won after all that xD

love the cruiser track, especially right now in the middle of summer, feels so appropriate

Wiggler is a great addition to the game.

Absolutely solid tracks and solid characters, love it!

“Oil?? Is that a Los Angeles thing??” Lol it actually is, there are a lot of oil rigs in LA. Many of them are hidden behind or inside buildings, so they don’t detract from the aesthetic too much.

i used to love playing koopa cape on wii and i would just go on time trials and let the water path move me around lol

Crazy how someone who can solve a rubiks cube in 10 seconds is also good at playing mario cart.

This dlc was soooo good! My personal favorite is vancour velocity

In the squeaky clean sprint a shortcut is when you glide go next to the tooth paste and there is a short cut so just go right when you start gliding on top of towels so when you get on the wood on top of the towels glide right to the pirrhana plant toothpaste I think I'm first to find it like if you found it helpful so when you are on the wood instead of towels glide to the right

In Squeaky Clean Sprint laps 2 and 3, if you want to take the upper path near the end, ride the toilet geyser all the way up while holding back on the analog stick and then guide the kart to the right slightly. You might miss it the first time, but it's really easy once you have the hang of it.

As someone who absolutely loves Kamek, I'm so glad he's part of the meta now.

Another banger from my favourite youtuber J-perm

the koopa cape shortcut has been shroomless since mk7 also i believe the zappers were taken out since mk7 as well since the pipe you drive through in the underwater section was cut in half

In S. Clean sprint there are some alternative path all the way to the right after taking the up path, like one whit 2 item boxes and the other whit a boost panel Lucky for you the city tracks this wave arent that confusing, just wait till rome arrive and see what a mess up of a layout it has

We always took the downward path in double dash daisy cruiser. Way too fun not to

I think that one of the new best combos is Kamek + Tanooki Kart + Azure Roller + cloud glider. You will not be disappointed

You know he's cracked at the game when he messes around on Grand Prixes and *STILL* gets all 60 points

Fun fact: Once you get to the top shelf after the toilet, there are three different intended ways to get back down!

If this man was playing online he would’ve been flexing but not flexing from simply admiring the tracks

Vancouver honestly is all about the Capilano suspension bridge, the Olympic torches, BC Place and Roger's Arena lol

As a person from Canada it is not always snowy. It's actually in our 30 degrees Celsius here. But Vancouver is rainy every single season except winter.

I think Excitebike Arena has the 2D crowd too, it's just less blurry, therefore less noticeable probably done because if they were all 3D the framerate would go to hell and the Switch would become a weapon of war

Im sure you know by now, but wiggler is a super slippery character for whatever reason. Most of those courses arent to slippy but wiggler is. The only spot that is really slippery is the soapy path coming out of pipe, although the fan also pushes you

I don't like the mountain textures on Koopa Cape it reminds me of Rock Rock Mountain but other than that the rest of the track looks aesthetically beautiful. Rock Rock Mountain was brought from the ground up from Mario Kart Tour, and it looked so much better on Mario Kart 7. GGs man love the first hand experience you did there :D

Take a shot everytime he says 'shroomless' ❤

I was playing with the new characters and I think I might have discovered a good combo. I’m not an expert so I might be wrong, but it felt like I was going super fast when I was using Kamek with the Bowser glider, Azure rollers and B-dasher. Perhaps it has a high mini-turbo stat?

Shortcat: "What they got snow? So you're getting all the stereotypes" Also shortcat: "You should be able to go into the rink and play hockey" There is nothing more canadian than complaining about the stereotypes then immediately proving them.

I might have to get the dlc pack just to use wiggler, I get hit so many times in first and seeing his angry animation is amazing

I’m a big fan of Koopa Cape, but I’m also a bit torn on how it was changed aesthetically. Not the biggest fan about how the dirt paths were changed to that more pavement-esque texture. Still plays nicely regardless, though.

19:13 Actually, Vancouver is the place that receives the least snow in the entire country cause even during winter, it generally stays above the freezing point over there. Vancouver was the absolute worst place they could come up with for a snow track. It literally could have been any other city in Canada, Québec city for example. Vancouver and B.C. in general is famous for its sequoias (the redwood forest), not for the snow 😂 Nintendo really dropped the ball on that one

Jperm thought we wouldn’t recognize him

I like how the Athens track is spent mostly in the Acropolis rather than the city itself. Isn't it messed up that they put a wedding ring in the drain section of Squeaky Clean Sprint?

Love your vids, the " I JUST GOT ASSAULTED BY MY OWN SON" got me

him messing around not even paying attention to the race and still getting a good spot while i cant even get a good spot while focusing

Squeaky clean sprint fan is NOT you biggest fan shortcat, smh, I am

I really like everything in it ! Vancouver velocity is simply gorgeous and the characters are funny and cool af. I should really try heavies again, I don't know how to drive anymore without my lightweight in a biddy buggy 😅

Lmao when the update came out I did the exact same thing with Wiggler on Wiggler

Would be cool if kooppa cape's clear pipe filled up with water on each lap 1. Small ceiling drip leak 2. Squid blooper busting through or a ceiling waterfall and the floor is wet. 3. Totally flooded with cheap cheaps

At, 24:05, on squeaky clean sprint, you can glide left and take a shortcut behind the sink. And it gives you a double item box

Daisy Cruiser looks really pretty, same with Moonview. I like that there are cars you can ramp off of altho I don't like that the cars don't seem to squish players now. I bet it feels better to play but I liked the gimmick. Squeaky Clean looks pretty damn cool. I kinda miss the Koopa Cape tunnel being enclosed and not underwater but it looks like they added the water stream that speeds you up back from Wii after they removed it in 7, so that's a huge plus! The three new city maps, especially Athens Dash, look like they're straight outta Roblox though.

an actual banger as always, keep it up bro!

He sounds like J Perm Edit: He does rubik's cube videos

Man I remember subbing too you when you had 600, now you have 66k. Nice job man. Keep up the good work.

DLC WAVE 5 UPDATE Gameplay, New Characters & Courses! | Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Love how shortcat gets so excited over shortcuts. Love your vids man!!

I don't know how I got to the Mario Kart side of RU-vid, but I'm here for it. I don't even have a switch

Imagine wiggler before wave 4 and the meta would actually be wiggler wiggler

i love it when the game gives you a speed boost for colour coordinating 🙏🏼

Your voice is SO similar to J perm's voice... Are you J perm?

For some reason I feel like they made the handling worse in general. Things just feel more slippery, and my inside drift bike (yoshi bike) is starting to feel a little closer to outside drift lol. I also feel like they might've increased rubber banding a little bit??

2D Audience was a reference to all their baseball games. Makes me miss super sluggers

I like using Petey Piranha with biddy buggy and those green animal crossing tires and the cloud glider

Petey Piranha with the leaf tires goes very well together aesthetically

sunset wilds, and yet the sun doesn't set. ONE JOB

I did the exact same thing with the wiggler, I thought nintendo would of ban that car from him

Wiggler seating on the Wiggler hits the Wiggler at Maple tree way while Wiggleing around.

Daisy’s cruiser was on Mario Kart 7, oh and Cat, personally from experience in MK7, on the cruiser, comin outta the dining hall, take that water path

The fact that Wiggler Wiggler isn't meta is a crime

On squeaky clean thing if you go in the soap bottle after you take the secret path from the toilet you get a super secret shortcut.

20:14 there is a big shroom shortcut in the park

9:45 you can take the up path if you trick off the gayser
