NEW Wave 6 Tracks & Shortcuts Online! | Mario Kart 8 Deluxe 

Hi Shortcat, will there be a more advanced guide anytime soon?

24:46 I love how Shortcat says ‘let’s do shortcuts here!’ and this in-game Mii says ‘yayyy!’

DK mountain barrels sometimes contain bananas, so "trapping" the shortcut may have been your own doing by shrooming through the barrel on the prior lap

I dont know why but i find it hilarious that you just abruptly end your videos. There's no outro of any kind and i love it

Shortcat, I have a question, now that bagging is not as good as it was before, would you change your main combo as the higher speed stat is not as important

Yes another ShortCat video! Just found you like a week ago but I've been watching a lot of your videos lately! Thanks for always being so upbeat and happy all the time. Makes my day a little bit better!

Really digging how you explain your thought process while you play. Learning from that too!

17:50 look how happy shortcat is to touch grass in such a long time, so lovely

I would love to see a new dedicated bagging video! I also think it could be cool to revisit the highest speed combo and see how well that does now with nerfed bagging

love your editing and how upbeat you are in your videos! i look forward to them every time i see the notification, cheers :)

0:40 A moment of silence for the gap jump that was NOT added to Snes Bowser Castle 3😔

I cant believe i binged every single one of your videos in like 3 days. Please keep them coming, I need my fix

When I was trying to bag on Mario Circuit 3 earlier today, it actually worked really well for me. The only things you have to do differently is: 1. Never fully stop/slow on boxes. Prepare to slow down ahead of time 2. Grind coins in whatever position you may be in, you’ll fall behind pretty quickly and increases your odds of pulling a stronger item

hi shortcat, just wanted to say that your video production recently has been a delight to watch. love the editing and commentary you've been doing more recently as well. keep up the great content shortcat!

your videos are always the highlight of my day, thank you :)

6:40 I'm very glad the Mach 8 is good on Wii RR, its probably my favorite track in the entire BCP and I've been using Mach 8 Slim wheels ever since day 1 of MK8 on the wii u, I was destined to main this combo!

Shortcat upload WOO!!! I found you in my recommended around a two weeks ago and since then you've helped me find so much more fun to have in this game :)) I'd previously never played online before, scared that I'd get trounced by everyone and shunned to a very low VR. However, your passion and energy that shines in each video helped me overcome that fear, and now I'm having loads of fun practicing shortcuts demonstrated in your shorts (which are formatted *brilliantly* btw) and also those I've observed in your normal uploads! On top of that I've been practicing the techniques in your beginner tricks video (and trying to practice more advanced ones from Bayesic too!). As of writing this comment, I've got a VR of ~3050, and its steadily creeping up and up (having started from the default 1000VR two weeks ago) Thank you for reading my comment until the end! I wish you good luck in all your future races (whoever you are reading this 🍀) P•S, here's my combo that I built and use based on the optimal build video: Iggy, Landship, Leaf Tires, Bowser Kite Have a great rest of your day!!

I've never really watched MK stuff but damn SHortcat's content really made me binge watch the channel what a crazy content

Hey Shortcat please do this video you talked about : "only bagging after wave 6" it would be great (Edit : he already answered in the video at 14:45)

hey shortcat you may not see this but thanks for making these type of videos you got me loving mario kart 8 and i never wouldve loved the game so much if it wasnt for you so thank you

I honestly would love to hear how you would nerf bagging. The way they did it makes sense and is probably the easiest way to nerf it

Not gonna lie love when funky kong does that little surf of a wave while tricking off platforms.

I love it when Shortcat uploads.

Hi shortcat love the content will you do a stat breakdown on the wave six update on all the new adjustments made to the kart parts like last time? Really liked that video with all the info explained it was really helpful thank you for that

Congrats on 200.000 Subs!

Time trails one things, but the placements of the item boxes are the game changer

can't wait for another video showing off all the mii costumes (btw you need an amiibo for the daisy costume)

That move at 27:20 when you drift to swin on the right looks amazing 😎

new shortcat !!!!!! best mario kart youtuber around and one of the best youtubers period ! hope you're having a great day everyone !

I'm french and i love your vidéos you chill is really cool to watch this and you have a good level Wp continue pls and more vidéos :)

Shortcat thanks to your videos and tips I’m almost at 10k vr :D I still struggle and make mistakes but you’ve taught me a bunch of things like superbounces and shroomless tricks

Looking forward to that bagging video

The boom sound effects when you get hit are hilarious 😂

You use a visual cue to help you dodge the blue? Cool! That makes me curious what other people use to help them dodge. I actually rely at least as much on the audio in MK8D. Also, I'm excited for you bagging video! Should be fun and fascinating!

Hey, if you need to dodge a blue shell when a blooper is obstructing you, the blue shell spins three times, and once it stops, wait a bit and use the shroom.

shortcat, you can double hoop jump through the middle on wii rainbow road. It's a shortcut and it's faster. You can do it shroomless if you get a trick off of the dash pad at the end of the wavy section and hold up on the stick.

Hey i really Like your Videos they helped me so much in playing all Tracks and also Fun fact: every new mii suit Has an unique Trick Animation

The tracks are awesome!

Hey Shortcat! There is a accually a small shortcut on Madrid Drive in the crowd next to the wiggler. There is a small gap between the crowd that you can drive through! I havent seen anyone talk about it so i thought i would tell you! Keep up the great vids!

this set of tracks is really nice

Thanks to your Videos, I was able to play better Online and beat all my friends 😁. Thanks Shortcat

I'm so looking forward to post DLC wave 6 content!! Too bad no piranha cove for now

Enjoying your new channel dude, I didn't realise you had started doing gaming content as well. My first channel is Down Under Cuber and i too slowed down with Cubing content in favour of gaming content, I do GTA cotent.

Hey Shortcat, while playing with my friends, I figured that with a yellow mini-turbo, you can do the final shortcut shroomless on Rosalina Iceway. It's kinda though tho and I'm not sure it's actually faster if you go shroomless haha

Cool to see the sweaty players in the 20k vr rooms playing with different combos and trying out the new tracks

The u-turn shortcut on Madrid drive is possible with a high mini turbo combo

11:43 I was playing daisy circuit and some other mk8 DLC tracks that are on the Wii like 30 mins before watching this vid :D It was also my first time playing the Wii in about two years, because i have a switch now, and I was placing pretty well, I even won some races! I also don't have online or booster course, so I can't normally play those tracks :(

A short cat video lets goo and seeing your video is making me want to get a Nintendo switch

Love the Mario Kart community banding together in this. Yes, Yoshi Teddy Buggy is still the meta. But Funky Kong... is Funky Kong.

Thanks shortcat! 💜

real quick, I just want to say that I really appreciate you taking the time to read our comments. No one ever talks about that but I really appreciate it

The bagging nerf is for cheeseland (and tracks like it) because as you know the bullet bill extension is great and players choose to sit at the first set for a bullet

damn what a comeback

I would love to see a full video of nothing but bagging in wave 6. I personally don't think the strat is dead, I just think it has to change.

You're so close to 200k 😊

Ur vids never get old❤

6:46 YES THE BEST TRACK! also good video Shortcat

Hi Shortcat, will you do a video of the new best combos IF they are different

Another banger from shortcar

As far as i can tell, the bagging nerf isn't too bad. You cannot cycle for items at a single item set anymore, you have to move on to the next set. "let me bag real quick because i just git hit" got a lot harder because you have to make do with the items you roll first. (This might also means that a bagging track depends on item set placements.) If you want to bag, you have to commit. So You can still very much hard bag in cheese land.

“There’s green shells, but I’m just gunna close my eyes and pretend they’re not there” Real.

The cat with the question block helmet! 😂😂😂

I was waiting for this!!!!!! YEAH BOIIIIIII

As someone who only really played mariokart with, its funny hearing about these tracks beings new

Da king is back baby he neva miss

I'm so used to trying to judge whether a track is gonna be a bagger or runner when waves used to come out but it doesn't even matter anymore with wave 6 💀 well not as much at least. Also that is a very good combo, super heavies on scooty is usually decent. Lookin forward to the wave 6 content 🔥

The Shortcat Mii with the new mii suits is SO CUTE

Hi Shortcat! I’m trying to a build that maximizes Mini-Turbo and Invincibility. Any ideas? On that note, I’d love to see a video on how useful the invincibility stat is, much like you did for a bunch of the other stats.

Yo, i recently did a bagging only challenge of my own for the memes (and content obviously) and i’d love to rechallenge myself after the wave 6 changes as well! would love to see how you do compared to me ;) I definitely agree with your point on the way bagging makes the game look a lot less enjoyable for your average player, the public perception isn’t always great on the topic of bagging. While i never really had an issue per say with bagging i didn’t really feel disappointed after the new changes because i knew it was meant to happen 😂

Finally! Somebody else had my luck with coins in 2nd.

cant wait for more videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shortcat you are my favorite mk RU-vidr

Love the videos

Would really be nice to see you make a Video on all the 150cc staff ghosts and you beating them. There are not much Videos with good commentary on them on this topic.

Miicat is back! Let's go!

You and TWD are the only mariokart youtubers i ever watch, dont tell TWD, but i like you more

Hi shortcat ! Im a big fan and i want to know what contoller do you use ? (Im searching one) i love you so much, you made me buy mariokart, the DLC and online play ❤😂 (rip my money)

On daisy’s track, I‘m pretty sure you can throw the bomb against the wooden piranha plant in the shortcut to break it. It‘ll break it from the impact and not explode so you can drive through without needing to bonk. I‘ve done that on another track.

Hey shortcat , i bagged earlier today on cheeseland and it was fine just dont wait to long

From my experience to make non meta builds viable, you have to go out of your way to grab coins. It makes the fast characters outstrip everyone else without items and allows slow characters to keep up with the pack

I started bagging cause I kept on seeing the waluigi wiggler stay in the back and I kept on getting mad so I decided to follow them. That's when I learned that bagging helps

Hey shortcat. Do you know if there are any new bullet extensions? Ive learned a bunch of them and now that multiplayer only choses 6th wave tracks I dont know when to use my bullet bill while bagging. Also, you're ALMOST on 200k, good job!

ok so because of bagging being nerfed will you change your combo from king boo to something more miniturbo based like yoshi teddy? also cat cruiser is now more optimal because of more invincibility keep on making great content! also please do the bagging video it sounds cool

That Koopa Clown Car helmet is so trippy omg...

Just wanted to say, after you poped into my youtube recs, I actually went and redownloaded mario kart 8. One thing I was wondering though, have you thought abut doing a random combo video? i.e. rolling a die after each race for chasis/wheels/glider and adjusting each by the number rolled?

Shortcat, i have a video idea; showing how to do every shortcut on every track. That would be so cool!

Cool vid. Sorry I'm late. You kept talking about a red shell update, what was that?

Would you ever do a ranking all tracks video?

Wow, Birdo at the Wii Rainbow Road in first dodged a blue right before starting to hold a coin in hand in first from just after 23:00 all the way to 23:45 then popped the coin and a mushroom back to back to dodge the blue again, twice within a min. What a flex!

for daisy circuit i think they put the pirana plant there solely bc on wii it was just objectively faster to go through the offroad rather than even just going around

Amazing

About the Rosalina's Ice World shortcut: When you have to turn smart steering back off after doing it, if slowing down because you're releasing A when going into the pause menu is a concern, maybe try auto acceleration to mitigate it? Just a suggestion

Can we just appreciate how many Shortcats he took?

could you make a video showing us bagging in wave 6 online? thanks i love your videos

14:23 who remembers in what other video Shortcat got a star and banana?

I’m curious seeing how bullets and mushrooms are based on speed does it change if your under water or on antigravity?

Hey Shortcat, is there a cart combo that’s good to use with funky kong? Cause I’m terrible with bikes so I can’t use the Mr Scott combo lol

To the new ice skate map where you used a mushroom i fpund a way without a mushroom that actually might be viable. 1: makes sure you're in the middle even before you enter the ice part 2: drift right up to the snow (not on the snow with an orange mini turbo) 3: in the air let go of r and get the miniturbo boost. I got pretty optimal lines without going on the snow at the top

In piranha plant cove most of the shortcuts are shoomless and they are very fun hope you find even more

For the shortcut on rainbow road wii at the half pipe, I personally just go to the side like you but stay on the blue section and trick off approximately perpendicular to the road. It gives you a mushroom boost and is very consistent but probably slightly slower than yours when you do it poperly. Also for bagging, if you wait very very long at the start of a track the first item set might give you useless items.
