The BEST Shortcuts You Must Know for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Online 

Thank you so much for this!

It has been exactly one year since you posted your first Mario Kart video. Congrats Man!🎉🎉 Here’s to another year of great Mario Kart Videos.

Yes it's finally happening, I am actively working on the pro guide!! (That's why there have not been as many videos lately) I figured that a shortcut guide is probably just as important as the pro guide for anyone who wants to win more online. Leave a comment if you have questions!

My dad wonders how I keep beating him at Mario kart, so Ima just start to tell him that I've been studying a very small domesticated tiger

Shortcat is living proof that size doesn't matter 😎

Remeber guys, If you suck at MK8DX a childrens party game also rated for LITERAL 3 YEARS OLDS. Shortcats and his handy Shortcats are here for us

I like how we have some context and thoughts behind how doing the shortcuts. This video helped a lot

I already know these shortcuts, but you explain it like a teacher and I love it.

no one could have predicted the consequences of your shorts coming up on my feed a couple weeks back… single-handedly rekindled my love for mario kart and you’re the reason i’m genuinely considering buying myself a switch (i use my sister’s rn) like???

Dude, if I could give this video multiple likes, I would. There have been only 2 tracks that I have struggled getting shroomless cuts down on: Yoshi's circut and mute city. After this video specifically calls out releasing the mini turbo early on mute city (much earlier than I ever was), I can now do both mute city and yoshi's circut! Thank you so much for this and all your other very helpful videos. It means a lot!

The effort that went into this is evident and honestly it’s the perfect format for this type of video. The extra details on each shortcut are super appreciated, and I love how you show it first/talk about it generally before getting into specifics. The amount of detail was just perfect, I have no questions after watching this.

Video idea: you’re not allowed to do shortcuts in online races

I love this channel so much… You are definitely one of my favorite RU-vidrs now!

The number of times that I thought “oh I’m doing that wrong too” while watching this video 😂 Thank you 👍

Hey shortcat, I know you’re probably not reading the comments anymore but I would like to say thank you since your funny videos helped me get past depression. Here’s to another year of shroomless shortcats!

I’ve been subscribed to you for a few weeks now and just watching a little over a dozen of your vids has helped me improved in Mario Kart! Thank you so much for being so helpful ❤

i love seeing your videos shortcat. i’ve grown so much as a player since i’ve started watching you and im so thankful to you!! never stop uploading

Thanks Shortcat, I've already been applying what I've seen from your videos but this in depth tutorial will be very helpful for me!

J perm solves the rubik's cube, Now Shortcat teaches us how to be better in mk8dx!

Awesome video! Thank you so much for uploading! It has always been a joy to watch your amazing videos!

Discovering the DK Summit Gap Jump back on the Wii instantly made it my favourite track, even though I ended up only being able to do the first half of it. Thanks for sharing all of these huge shortcuts!

Thanks so much Shortcat. Lately I’ve been trying to nail these shortcats, and I’ve been able to do them thanks to you.

I was just thinking I need to get better at the most important short cuts like the gap jump and stuff and you just so happen to post this today. Thank you though, this video is really helpful and explained everything perfectly 👍

Hey short cat I love your channel! You inspired me to try Mario Kart online with your amateur guide and I’m loving it!

For the mushroom gorge gap jump, you can also take the glider and swoop down as fast as you can and you can still get a good alignment

I'm sure Shortcat's favorite scene from the Mario movie was when Mario took a shroomless shortcut on rainbow road lol

You have no idea how many times I've failed the Mount Wario gap jump because everyone wanted to do it at the same time, we bump into each other and no one makes it 😂😂😂

I love this format! It would be cool to do a complete track breakdown. All strats for a track: shortcats details, item strats, running vs bagging strats and metas!

i think these are some of the cleanest shortcuts ive ever seen, amazing job shortcat

Love your vids Shortcat! Discovered your channel recently and have been racing better ever since. We were in the same lobby a few days ago and I even managed to beat you a couple of times lol. GGs, friend!

These videos helped me get back into this game. Great work, you've earned a new subscriber.

I'm getting so much better at this game thanks to seeing your videos. If I hadn't found this channel I wouldn't even be playing this game, I didn't even know mario kart was this complex. Thanks shortcat ❤❤❤.

6:05 I’ve seen you do that one before, but I didn’t know if you needed DiddyBuggy levels of mini-turbo to get that mini-turbo trick. As a Luigi Inkstriker main, I’m now glad to know I can do it too

Thank you Shortcat for your content

Shortcat, you need to make a video about ranking all 96 tracks in mariokart from worst to best, I would really enjoy seeing that!

these have helped me get first in so many races, the mushroom gorge gap cut is the most fun to do as well! thanks for making this video!

Our Lord and Saviour King Boo Teddy returned to us

I was just about to search for the ones I need individually. Life saver.

It’s been so long since you posted 😢 I’m so happy you are back man ❤

This really helped me get my race rank up thank you shortcat!

Happy one year Anniversary @Shortcat321 ! Cheese Land was so fun with all the bagging strats in mind. Thanks for the free 1st place! 😁

At the end of a near-17 min video, I wasn't expecting to get hype at the very end! "..1 mushroom blah blah... OR! YOU GO TO THE RIGHT..." Shortcat is bestcat

Awesome- You've definitely been perfecting these shortcuts and strats for years.

Almost 2 years I haven’t played Mario kart, now I feel like I have many things to learn after watching this video.

I love your channel so much. You are a huge inspiration and have great content

You got me back into mario kart, thank you so much :)

Thank you, Shortcat! I actually searched "Best Shortcuts Mario Kart 8" just yesterday and this pops up today, how glorious!

From teaching us how to slove rubix cubes, to cool shortcuts! Nice video!

Great informative video shortcat!

I would love more Mario cart tutorials these are awesome!

Thanks to you I know how to do almost all the shortcuts. In this video, we see all the shortcuts in just one video.

I'm a casual gamer, who has only played mario kart on wii (with automatic settings bc the less buttons I need to use the better (finger joint issues complicate things) lmao) and probably won't get a switch / get to play mario kart 8 deluxe (bc I don't have ppl in my life who have a switch), I'm still subscribed to you because a) your voice is nice and calm & b) you are so positive while gaming and I love that! I enjoy watching the game footage and have your vids on the background while I'm working on my school projects etc. You are such a great player and I hope your channel will grow even more! 💖 keep up with the good work! ^u^

Man i could watch shortcat do shortcuts for ages

Happy one year of Short Cat, I loved every second of it

This video is great thanks so much Shortcat! Any idea when the pro guide will come out?

This is secretly a shortcut tier list and I am loving it xD

Been a great year bud! ❤

Thank you this might just be what I need to get better

Great video! Would you consider making a video listing the bullet extension zones?

Great vid! It helped me a lot🙂Thanks Jperm-uhhh I mean Shortcat

I needed this!

Didn't even realize we needed this video until now

Instead of using the GameCube controller, I use another controller that also doesn’t have a motion sensor and it does the same job. I bought Mario kart on my switch and then forgot about it but after I started watching your vids I picked up the game again. Keep it going you are my fav content creator rn.🎉🎉

Hey shortcat, , great video like always ❤, also i didn't see you talking about it, but if you didn't know, the motion glider trick on the gamecube controller is also possible on a wire pro controller, anyways, looking forward to the pro guide !

was gonna ask for tips for going into a tournament but this helps

You and hendrix are my senseis im getting better at mario kart thanks to u guys great results im getting

Thanks shortcat for teaching me these shortcut

You are the reason why i play mario kart. Thank you so much

solve a rubiks cube while playing mario kart

Finally I gave the Hyrule Curcuit one a practice and yeah, the fast one is hard, but there is still room, like you can skip the big part of the gras without needing the mini turbo trick out of the castle😅

pro guide soon! content worth waiting for

I was literally looking for a video like this yesterday cause I wanted to know all the best shortcuts 💀💀

Congrats on exactly one year making videos!

Hi shortcat! I love your vids and content and this looks super helpful. I personally don’t have mk8 or the console for it and I’m trying to grind on mkw. Do you think you could make an in depth vid like this teaching all of those shortcuts as well for mkw? It seems essential at the level I’m reaching but I don’t know the best way to practice or all of the details. A few of these tracks are almost identical on mkw

Yoooo! A new shortcat-video!!!

I started watching Mario Kart 8 Deluxe videos to dominate my friends and family. Now, I'm training for events... I have to thank you Shortcat.

Thanks for this video

I would love to see what you do in double dash! My coworkers and I do Lan parties for DD all the time and I'd kill for some tricks lol.

great video! can you show us the best tips for solving a rubik’s cube next?

Besides the gap jump, there is another short in Mushroom Gorge where you use a mushroom to boost to the left a bit after the starting line and there is a low mushroom that will bounce you up and onto the next mushroom

How is this guy the goat of both the speedcubing and Mario kart RU-vid community?

I like you. One part educational, one part entertainment.

I really wish some shortcut videos would have an input overlay, so I can see timing and stick angles in real time. would make practicing these so much more comprehensive.

Yay! Just in time for another J Perm upload!

I have learnt a lot after watching only a few minutes, OMG I thought I was good at this game before 😂

The final Mario kart stadium cut can be done shroomless every time. I hold my drift longer so that I’m boosting off the ramp and just hug the line of the wall as you go around and you can land in a drift if you do it right. I also play with tilt controls always on though

Wish I had this before I recorded my last video, some of these would have come in handy 😂😂

very helpful!

One thing I've been noticing for while is you seem to hop over the boost panels before (at least some) cannons or glider sections, is it faster and/or help w alignment after the cannon, or is there no particular reason? Love your videos btw, always hyped to see new stuff from you and I rewatch your vids a lot :D

The closer you are to the snowman, the more likely you'll have success at the Snow Land cut. The bad thing about the DK Summit (a.k.a. Jank Jank Summit) cut is that it skips the only fun part of the track. It literally comes right as the fun's about to begin, and if done successfully, you're landing at the exact point where the fun by going around comes to an end. 💔 It's faster, so I understand why it's needed for competitive play, but since I have more fun by taking the "slow" route, it's a good thing I *don't* play competitive. The big cut at Rock Rock Mountain is highly risky without a ⭐ (or Father Boo). Lightning can strand unprotected players in the middle of the grass, killing all momentum and turning a race from glorious grand theft into extreme frustration. Technically, Hyrule Circuit is still a DLC course. It's just DLC on the Wii U, which became one of the base 48 courses on the Switch. At Mount Wario, is it faster to take the cut as sharp as possible, or is it faster to aim for the trickable surface and mini turbo trick to clear the cut? I love the air hops at Waluigi Stadium, but I definitely need to practice to get better at actually doing them myself. *WAH!* It's ridiculous and hilarious how two Gold Mushrooms turn the entirety of Cheese Land into one giant shortcut. 🤣 That ending, tho. 👀😆👍

With the motion glider on Mario kart stadium im pretty sure you can do a slower shroomless variation with a ultra mini turbo

thank you so much

Hi shortcat! Love your videos! Do you think you could do a video where you try playing online mario kart wii?

Nice one ❤

i don't expect you to love this combo, just thought i would suggest it to you, my personal favorite combo in this game is Funky Kong on the Ink Striker with rollers and cloud glider. im pretty sure its got a bit higher speed then your King Boo combo so its pretty good for bagging then also while i don't know exactly what its mini turbo stat is, after using the combo i can be sure its pretty good enough to use.

I don’t even play this game, but I love your videos!

You’re coming in clutch for my Mario kart tournament coming up!!!!!!!

happy 300K subs!

Thank you

Will there be a dedicated Bullet Extension video or will they all be included in the Pro Guide video?
