Playing the BEST Combo of Every Character in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe! 

I may be Shortcat but here's a long one for you all 😉😉 We had 2 unexpected visitors in this challenge and a crazy 2nd half! I highly recommend watching til the end for this one!

56:40 Shortcat does not realize what shortbird just did for him. Shortbird had a guaranteed 1st and a bomb and perfectly threw it back to hit the people that were going to pass shortcat without hitting shortcat. What a legend you are shortbird.

1.5 hours of Shortcat content? What a win! Worth staying up till 1 am 😂😂

For the medium mii u could use the Mach 8 with Azure Rollers and a Blue Suit so either the Normal Blue Suit, the Mega Man Suit, the Chain Chomp suit or the Dolphin suit (if u really want to use the inkstriker for the smaller hitbox Normal Suit (Purple) , Toadette Suit , Kirby Suit and the Birdo Suit look pretty good on it). For the Large Mii u can use something like Mr scooty with Rollers (same as Funky Kong Scooty) or for a bit more ground speed Streetle Class, Pipe Frame Class or the Teddybuggy Class.

i dont always pick random because of me hating every track, i pick random because i like every track and it couldnt matter less to me and it helps tracks that are never picked get more chances without removing the chances of overpicked tracks

That ending was SO stressful, oh my god. Also, I think you got me into the habit of complimenting my opponents' good plays rather than just getting annoyed every time in online games, so thank you! It stops me from getting too tilted lol

I love how non-toxic shortcat is whenever he plays, and congratulates people on a good snipe. I know I would be saying all sorts of stuff to the person who hit me 😂

This is probably the most unexpected surprise today. Thank you Shortcat for almost 84 minutes of pure Mario Kart 8 Deluxe entertaining content.

One hour and a half of Shortcat content...lovely!

I really really love this channel. More and more I've been unfollowing gaming streamers who clearly aren't having a good time, just forcing themselves through whatever challenge runs makes their audience happy. With Shortcat, it's absolutely lovely the way you always seem to have a blast playing MK even when it's not going your way. The enthusiasm is truly infectious!

i love watching you play mario kart because you never get mad even when it’s frustrating. like you’re just ALWAYS havjng a good time :3 thank you for making videos

I could feel the sweat dripping off shortcat in the last race cause it was almost dead silent outside of "I like that she sings" for most of the race. That was real focused shortcat

honestly, he seems much more passionate doing mario kart videos, happy to see him doing something he wants for a living :-)

the tension of the last few races when you stopped talking and started focusing was incredible. loved every minute of this

"Oh boy, a new Shortcat video! I can't wait for a nice 30 minute watch-" 1 hour 24 minutes

God I love your videos man. Stumbled upon your channel like a month ago and ive watched so many of your vids. Incredibly likable creator. Hope you had a great Christmas and have a happy newyear!

YOU FORGOT THE MII

This was a great video!

A few hours (or maximum a day) before/after your "a combo for every character"-video, i officially made Wiggler² my main. I just really like Wiggler (best Mario character in my opinion) and I am just happy to have this awesome combo. *Thank you, Shortcat.* Since I discovered your channel around half a year ago, I watched *every*. *single*. *one*. of your videos (including shorts), and it really brought me into mario kart. When I first discovered you, I just got a switch with *Mario Maker 2* and *Mario Kart 8 Deluxe*. Although *Mario Maker 2* was the game I originally came here for, I found myself enjoying *Mario Kart 8 Deluxe* a hell of a lot more, and I think one of the main reasons was.... your channel. *THANK YOU.* I love your content. Keep it up *-Tecnico*

There are 7 Koopalings because they were the 7 bosses in the 7 castles you had to beat in Super Mario World for the SNES before reaching Bowser's Castle. Nintendo probably did it that way to avoid having to create 8 unique Bowser fights for the game.

shortcat you can't just END the video that abruptly when you just pulled off the clutchest finish in existence... i wanna hear you celebrate! everything about that finish was perfect, from the track, to the character, to the frontrunning most of the race only to lose almost all hope and pull off the gap jump anyways, only to immediately gain and lose hope again with the mushroom and bomb at the end?? and you STILL somehow got eighth. fucking legend.

59:00 this has to be my favourite moment of Shortcat's videos 😂

Thanks for a great year of Mario Kart content, Shortcat! Looking forward to more in 2024.

Finally seeing someone play with my favourite character gave me a big smile! Thanks Longcat!

Now do another ~50 races as Yoshi Teddy Buggy and compare the average results!

1 and a half hour video from Shortcat!? WE ARE BLESSED 💖

That Piranha race has to be one of the most entertaining Mario kart races I've watched

Shortcat: I feel robbed! The boo who took his last mushroom just as he is part way through the last shortcut: Yeah, I am pretty good at that.

I love how Shortcat created a video of himself specifically playing the "best" combo for every character and still couldn't resist prioritizing aesthetics over min-maxing stats.

9:43 That's ironically my favourite way to play MK8 DX at least at the VR I'm at(7k range). I use a website to get myself a random character/kart/wheels/glider and change out every single race. It has led to some rather fun moments. Edit: 39:34 I also actually pick random every time, not because I don't like the choices, but because I like the majority of the tracks and don't really mind any of them. Though a lot of the Wii courses I am kind of sick of. It's been nearly 16 years of people going crazy for those courses. I'm a bit sick of it, but I still don't overly mind playing those courses.

So glad you accomplished your goal. Was nervous you were gonna get screwed out of it towards the end bc of those crazy finishes outside of your control, but you pulled through!

I love how you could tell how much he was stressing with the Pauline race like whew mans said like 10 words total that race, maximum concertation

59:04 Love the „yo mairoa mo shinde iru“ or how you wright that

1.5 hours of Shortcat is very much unexpected but very much welcome! It's already past 3 am in the morning but I can't help at least watch bits of it!

This was perfect for today. Stuck sick in bed today, and it took me all morning (several interruptions) to watch, but just finished! I really enjoyed this and appreciated seeing I’m not the only one with crap luck sometimes😂 It would be great to race you sometime!

58:11-58:23 I’m really late to this video but how is no one talking about how funny and random Shortcat became when he started playing as Ludwig lol. That laugh got me 😂 This was so fun! It didn’t feel like a long video at all! 😄

You’ve helped me get SO much better at Mario cart and am very grateful! Love your content and coming across a new video has made my day😊

"This is not my track though... It's Wet Bowser City" - Shortcat 2023

Luigi wins by doing absolutely frontrunning.

I can't speak for anyone else but I usually pick random because I like the surprise, not because I don't enjoy any of the selected tracks. Great video by the way, love that you got a good result with my main Toadette

Love how petey, the goofiest character, raced on the goofiest race of the whole session

Why do I watch your videos, I’ve played Mario Kart like twice and that was years ago, but I don’t think I’ve ever missed a video you made.

1:21:12 bro locked in and didnt say anything for 90 seconds except stating "I love that she sings"

Nothing better than waking up to a day that would be long and boring, but your favorite Mario Kart player uploaded an hour and a half long video.

Holy close ending 😂 Btw as a suggestion, maybe a Monkey-Monday video would be good where you only play as Kongs. Thanks for all the high quality stuff you always put out :D

unironically one of the best channels right now, you dont see that many friendly rivalries on youtube anymore- especially not with random people you barely know

1:19:52 Diddy kong is not actually Funky kong's nephew, Funky is just Donkey kongs best friend, no real family ties.

Shortcat on shortcat violence

ONE HOUR AND 24 MINUTES OF SHORTCAT?? Best late Christmas present EVER :3

Video idea: use combos in the loading screen

What a nail biting set of races. I thought you'd be achieving your goal easily, but I guess constantly switching characters really messes with your consistency. That, and rotten luck at times made this an exciting Mario Kart feature film

Is it better to hold down during the entire glider section ? And does tricking on glider pannel/canons matter in term of speed gained ? And it would be nice to see a video with the best mushroom spots for every track, and every shortcut worth taking. And bullet extensions too

3:59 This was the best laugh of all time! Hahah 😆

I'm travelling on a 1½ - 2 hours track in real life. I hope people like this comment because I have 15% battery left and wanna watch this later

Having come back to MK8DX from watching your videos, and watched your Guides. I tried the Daisy combo and then Daisy teddy and I see WHY the combo is so good. I used to mainly play Pipe Frame, Slicks, Plane Glider (What I like to call. MK64 combo) and while the combo was serviceable, playing all three and finding that Teddy Roller Paper felt NATURAL to me and playing in worldwide was eye opening. Thanks, Shortcat!

J PERM!!!!!! IS THAT U???!!!!!

At 23:45, I was just like, "that's not the Teddybuggy"

J perm ?

16:45 I swear playing koopa is like hardmode, idk why but every other race becomes so chaotic. Good job getting 5th!

I dont even play mario kart but i still continue to watch every single new vids. Love the vids

27:52 I never knew the piranha plant could eat the blooper!! That’s so cool

lmao last race completely silent: "i love that she sings" XD i felt that pressure, amazing video!

the ending killed me lmfao just the "HUH...! WHAT....!?!"

1 hour and 24 minutes of Mario Kart from Shortcat. Good thing I got some pizza and soda while I watch.

I literally was starving after watching all your videos, and now an hour and a half of Shortcat? What a treat!

this is the superior shortcat video. this is not an opinion.

Looooooooove this format bro!! So fun to see all the different characters & you kill it regardless!!

Can't believe we got an hour and a half of shortcat content. Best late christmas gift ever!

Pretty confident I played with you Online the other day and I didn’t even know. I just stumbled across your channel, that’s freaking wicked

Finally I have a shortcat video I can play in the background 👍

YOOOO AN HORU SHORTCAT VIDEO9? WE ARE EATING GOOD TODAY! just wanna say your videos are amazing and i watch multiple a day multiple times a day

The ending is insane . My heart actually stopped for a minute. 🙀

A Christmas holiday gift, we have been blessed with 1 hour and 24 minutes with Shortcat fun! Santa claus is truly real after all.

“It’s not my track, it’s bowser but it’s wet bowser city.” -Shortcat 2023

i love to just put shortcat videos on and work on my massive minecraft project - this is the perfect thing to just sit back for an hour or to and just relax thank you shortcat :D

I like how every baby character is the child of the adult form to him. I just thought that was funny 😂

FINALLY LONGER VIDEOS. Bro i honestly think, most videos over 40 Minutes are nearly always good. I still watch most of your and Jpgiviner's video coz u both so enterteining and got me back into mariokart.

I plugged all these builds into a picker wheel for whenever my friends and I play Mario Kart! We don't just pick characters anymore, we get randomized characters with these builds. It's actually crazy fun.

I have to appreciate that the track that best showcases the most controversial strategy in Mario Kart 8 is called *Cheese Land.*

Love Jperms new content😂

the last race where it's just silence for two laps interrupted by: "I love that she sings" had me dead

I can't remember the last time I watch a 1+ hour video non stop and I just did it right now.

Started watching this guy and the non toxic positive type videos are really a nice change of pace from most gaming vids

i absolutely love shy guy sponge streetle, the traction makes it really smooth to play and its so cute :3 i’m happy its featured here

thanks for telling me the best combo in the game

The koopalings are Bowser's elite henchmen and showed up a lot in modern super mario platformers games as well as in rpg's. I don't know when they first appeared though.

I love his perspective on the characters being cute or adorable it makes you appreciate the wonder of racing in a fantasy world even more👌

you are fueling my mario kart 8 hyper fixation🔥🔥🔥

No way we just got a 1 and half hour long shortcat video?? I feel so blessed!!

The tension in the ending was palpable. What a nice video shortcat

35:04 I’m doing chores and not watching the screen so when I randomly hear “I beat my mom! Oh that feels great” I’m just 💀

Settled. Shy Guy streetle sponge paper. When I first started MK8 deluxe I was determined to master 200cc with shy Guy streetle rollers and it’s insane. I love it.

36:54 You threw your shells so fast that they all broke up on each other

1:17:47 You stole someone's boomerang with your boo. Only 20 seconds later it got stolen by someone else 😂 Boomerangs make their way around sometimes

This is a gift. I wish he made like 5 videos a day 😂

A Shortcat movie! Let's gooo

alternative title: an hour and a half being destroyed by lag

What dedication to play EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER HOLY COW 🐄 props to you for doing that

id been watching the shorts for a while and i clicked on the every character vid coz i thought it would be interesting, then watched this after expecting it to be a chill vid explaining how to play each combo. it turning into a terrifying gauntlet halfway through was not expected lol very entertaining
