Putting Boss Fights in Mario Kart 

This technically counts as a speedrun video of the mission mode. Congratulations on the world record

i love this channel because every so often they release episodes like this where they just talk about life and shit in a really nice way

Damn. Wasn't expecting this to have such a strong 'real talk' atmosphere on a vid like this. Good job!

Important to keep in mind, re: ROB, G&W, Marth -- While they were ancient by 2001, the Game & Watch series and the R.O.B. accessory _had_ released outside of Japan. Fire Emblem, up to that point, _hadn't._ You don't have to give specifics for us to understand that the situation was bad; the combo of "please don't use my work" & "pay me more than you were gonna" paints a clear picture of the kind of person you're talking about.

Happy 1000th episode of Alpharad Gold/Deluxe/Plus!!!

"People [online] don't want to be proven wrong, but especially, people do not want to be convinced that _anything_ they're feeling is anything less than valid" Actually _very_ insightful when it comes to trying to discuss things online, thanks lol

LITERALLY MY CHILDHOOD GAME OMG THIS IS ACTUALLY A GAME I'M EXCITED TO SEE Y'ALL PLAY

this is like one of those story tiktoks with subway surfers in the background but like an actual story length long

this was a really good video for the thousandth video on the channel im so happy to be a fan of this channel

I would love to watch alpharad gold play the rest of the pikmin games, the rest of the fnaf games, shantae, ape escape, and the luigis mansion series

the amount of nights i would stay up playing this game while at sleepovers should not be said. im amazing at mario kart because of this game.

I still have my DS and 3 copies of MarioKart DS that were my brothers and mine when we played together. Fun times

Sa1&2 have less glitches in the original, theres also a mod that restores the pc version closer to the dream cast version

Mission Mode needs to come back for Mario Kart 9

Asking for stuff especially money is the worse. I feel bad when I even get a random gifts because I feel like I need to repay them somehow so I don't owe them later even if I know they won't ask for anything its just a gut feeling I can't get rid of

Right out of college i was in a contracting situation that made me self employed and i was not ready for that at all

12:38 i feel that, but with my siblings

Peak mario kart…

0:28 How TF did i guessed that he was going to draw an among us?!

As someone who rode the bus, it’s not that fun especially with a shitty driver who ran red lights and almost caused wrecks. I woke up at 5 every morning to get on at 5:30 and get to school at either 6 if he did two loads and sit for a hour to be let inside the school (freezing cold even) at 7:00, even if a teacher arrived before then they couldn’t let us in OR if it was one load we’d get there at 7:40 and you had 20mins to get AND eat breakfast.

Gotta love the occasional podcast episodes

hearing about the stuff in 2016-17, it kinda puts in perspective a little more why u were so chummy with nintendo when the switch came out, gotta make bank

I love this game! Thank you so much for playing it, I love mkds

the audacity to call something bad without consuming it lmao

naughty bear is a hilarious game and I think you guys should play it

The best Mario Kart

The original Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing also had a mission mode, you guys should play it

This reminds me of episode one of Mario kart ds

Alpha and jo I'm wasted and I'm waiting until it's late until its late to get more liquor later from Fram lmao

greatest game of all time

Man I miss my ds

Why is yop yop giving noop noop vibes from rick and morty

Day 204 of asking Gold to play Garfield Lasagna Party

I want it on the record that I had a conversation with a guy about what might be in the upcoming Nintendo Direct. I said Mario RPG is a safe bet, but he insists that the game won't be in the Direct because it releases "before winter." Will someone let me know who ends up being right?

This is probably my favorite type of video on this channel where they just talk about stuff and hang out and get deep

The life stuff really hits home tbh. It’s hard for me to talk about that sort of stuff with other people so hearing you guys chat about it is very soothing. Can’t wait for the chat about the universe and everything over subway surfers gameplay next.

Huge vibes with Alpharad here. That edge between wanting to help others, but not wanting to enable others is a tough line to walk.

I'm still baffled by Nintendo not bringing the mission mode back to other mario kart games. Then again, being baffled by Nintendo is way more common nowadays...

So cool hearing all this Alpharad Lore after being a long time viewer.

Best part about this episode is that we can see the inputs. We can see jo mashing and i feel it in my soul when he mashes through the loading screens

i always love these kinds of videos, where they just sit down for an hour and talk about life, while vaguely having a game for my adhd eyes to dissolve into. it's always really relaxing, and feels like a great way to just see another side to all of this i had a pretty shitty day, so it was nice to get this at the very end of it

The fact people would use the emblem maker to put QR codes and personal info like their SSN or their IP address, even if you didn’t see it…

49:17 This one mission was immediately recognizable for the hours I spent trying to 3-star it as a kid because I thought world 7 needed 3 stars on every other world

Yopyop's adventure to become the ultimate kart racer is such as inspirational story. Naughty bear for the xbox360 and ps3 is very captivated by this.

Maybe the real YopYop was the friends we made along the way

What I do for the helping friends is set aside a very designated amount from each check specifically for helping other people, and break it out when there is threat of a snowball effect or an emergency (like if someone is evicted). Making sure it's utilitarian and giving them the utilitarian thing directly is helpful in sniffing out if people are using you (renting the moving truck and getting food as opposed to just handing them cash), but at the end of the day you just have to know them well and trust them as people not to abuse that. It will always be weird asking for money, it's very humbling. I consider being willing to be poor to benefit others is quite virtuous.

I’m not saying I’m a RU-vidr or anything but “Rivals of Yopyop” would’ve gotten insane clicks purely from the title

I’ve seen Jacob as ‘just a jokester’ for a bit, but this video is really impactful. Thank you for sharing Jacob.

Jo made 1 stroke with a red pen and I immediately knew what he was drawing... Fuck...

I like that discord heard Jacob about to start spoiling stuff and immediately took him out.

21:48 pretty sure I remember getting stuck on this mission and never touching the game after that

Yopyop seems about right

I fell into the exact same loop with my drivers license

Life experiences and Mariokart go hand and hand

Colin please, next time for a DS game do a large main screen with a small sub screen in a 16:9 frame. Also, black borders. Thank you for your work!

I actually started watching One Piece because of this channel and honestly I’m really loving it. I’m not caught up yet, not even halfway done, but It’s genuinely everything that I like in my media.

"all my friends would be in good moods after riding the bus" I went to school in bumfuck nowhere county georgia and had to ride a shitty loud ass bus for two hours every day with some of the worst pieces of shit imaginable, no one I knew liked to ride the bus, the bus was encouragement for people to get a car and drive themselves or punishment for when their parents take away their car I still chose to rode the bus however all the way up to the last day, mostly because I hated wasting gas and also because I liked being able to take naps (I could sleep through the screams, I used to live in oklahoma and was used to loud ass earth quakes) regardless fuck the school bus, regular busses are badass though, wish we had them down here so I could take one to work like a reasonable human being instead of having to drive myself like a goddamn fucking troglodyte

This game rules!!! Like top 3 Mario kart games. Also day 256 of suggesting Danganronpa :)

I hope that Mario Kart X has a story or mission mode. It would add a lot to the game.

Y’all should do a reaction to Nintendo direct tomorrow reacting is a game

I love watching Jo play games without feedback, just all the moments you can pinpoint him mentally saying fuck this and going the quickest, cheesiest route

I love the bascially podcast episodes so much, it helps me focus on my art and also listen to cool stories with nice little life advice sparkled throughout.

I know a great game! It's called devolver tumble time, and its the best game I have not ever played but I do know that alpharad gold would love it and you would get 702 thousand subscribers from a video about it! she took the kids

I've actually started casually watching One Piece because the live action came out so I started watching before and then watched the live action and I like it it's fun and silly. Not entirely sure how far I'll get just because it can be slow at times and I don't know if I want to sit there and watch that many episodes. I'm only on episode like 24 or 25 and I just watch it in my free time but I do like what I've seen so far tbh

Did Jo just predict TTYD Remake

But honestly… i live a middle class life, we make enough money to survive while still having enough for fun times… but we weren’t rich or anything… but when i moved from the city to the country and learned that other people here don’t even have internet, i honestly felt legit rich kid syndrome from living even a remotely sustainable life

the license process is like that in every state. the key difference now is that if you do the drivers ed and permit shit when you're a minor, you get cheaper insurance once you get a car vs if you just wait until you're 18.

Day 256 of asking for I Expect You To Die, the VR spy puzzle game.

Just realized this is channel upload 1,000

Day 256 of asking Alpharad Gold to play My Singing Monsters

I like videos like this. just venting and vibing, being real human beings

56:56 is the best bit of advice I've heard in a long ass time

I gotta see jo and Jacob play ctr nitro fuelled on gold Also - I know what you guys said last episode and I imagine you’re probably getting pretty sick of seeing me, however, even if this is in vain and you guys never play ctr then at the very least I’d like to know that I never gave up to the very end

This episode really resonated with me. good shit, good shit.

I didn't expect Mario Kart DS to be the emotional episode. Love you both, and I hope things go great for both of you.

Day 256 of asking alpha to play marvel ultimate alliance 3

You guys should play dead by daylight. Also great video :)

Love these rare serious vibes on this channel

Mario kart DS🔥🔥🔥🔥

Day 256 of asking for No Straight Roads

One of my favorite gold vids of the year, love the real talk :)

Really needed this type of video today. May be watching it a couple days later than the upload, but I’m having some personal problems atm that this video helped me put into perspective to the grander scale and that was really calming and helpful. Thank you to Jacob and Jo just being the people they are and somehow posting just the right thing when it’s needed. Here’s to keep the series alive in the coming months

This game brings back so many memories, I’m glad they’ve brought it some well deserved attention

Wow! Yop Yop's logo looks so familiar, but I just cant quite put my finger on it...

Damn this video blew my mind learning the struggles Jacob went through when I got into his stuff. I’m glad to see things going better now.

Neon White feels like an addiction rather than a favourite I typically sink more time into various games, rapidly or over longer time - There's been a few I've wanted to burst through - Still good games of course but I wouldn't say my favourites at all (Speedrun games are just a good hook regardless because you know you only have so long to do it - If you leave it, times will progress without you) Also, have to mention it - Games pre '08 *ARE JUST BETTER*, Jo said it with Paper Mario, Jacob said it with Sonic Adventure 2, it's just true 2016 was an oddly good year for quality, but the only one since '08, apart from that it's been degrading *every* year, I'd even go as far to say as that applies to Neon White - Standards have been lowered, it's not that product has improved - Less bad, not good - Particularly apparent when listening to developer commentary (Of Neon White), most good things at all are player imposed, seeing what they want to see, not just *there* to be seen

3:49 stop hitting close to home about this bus convo PLEASEEE its to relatable PLEASWE

MARIO KART DS. LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO. 256 DAYS AND I REGRET NOTHING. Nothing except y’all not playing fight party and me doing nothing about it. I’m gonna put a stop to that. Until tomorrow…

Day 0 (256 but it's an overflow) of Alpharad Gold bossing us around when we tell them to play Yandere Simulator. They really did it to us with the emblem... YanSim Fun Fact: In the internal game files, Akademi is referred to as SchoolScene.

Day 92 of asking you guys to play A Dance Of Fire and Ice (ADOFAI). It’s a rhythm game has an enjoyable soundtrack with a pretty enjoyable and simple controls. After watching the Friday night funkin vid, I realized I need more rhythm game content. Also for more advanced levels type QUREE at the main menu

Please, play Touhou. (The danmaku game or the fighting game.) It could be cool, I think. 😆 Never ever have seen Amongus in DS. Thank you for this opportunity.

I LOVE YOPYOP

There's all kinds of ways to make memories. You're definitely romanticizing the struggle, and accidentally doing what you're saying you're trying to avoid doing. Just don't split rooms even though you could afford it if you want to make those specific kinds of memories and experiences again. Make the decision. Don't waffle over it. And don't pretend prefacing it with "This is a privileged take" removes the ickiness from it. You're feeling icky about it because a part of you knows you could mitigate it by just making decisions about some things here and there.

todays episode of the podcast was very deep and insightful

Day 256 of asking for Chibi-Robo! Plug into adventure, and the title immediately reminded me of the DS and for a second I was like, nah, Mario kart didn't do that, that was a dream, but this video is nothing but nostalgia for me from simpler times, the map where your just on a DS was awesome for vs

jo sniffy release a video without fucked audio challenge (impossible)

psst use the melonds Nintendo DS Lite Case Sticker™️ instead of the desmume Nintendo DS Lite Case Sticker because it fixes that weird GameStop-exclusive glitch where inputs show

Is Jo still submitting videos as blind speedruns? Also day 246 of requesting Gurumin, Devil Survivor, Yokai Watch Blasters, and Idol Showdown.

If Alpharad could barely afford driver's ed, was there actually a car to drive? That was a big one for my family. Why bother learning how to drive when there's not even a car for you to drive. It's why I didn't get my license until I was 18.

I get Alpharad's situation about family wealth (even though i live in a different country so some stuff is different). Crazy how you can start life with your parents being stable then watch everything get struggling in the span of a few years. Glad you're out of it now Jacob
