Top 10 Shortcuts & Strategies in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe 

When you think this is a casual top 10 list but then he talks about milliseconds and stick positions

Big blue ultra shortcut shroomless. “Am I a joke to you?”

Love how informative your vids are! Would you consider doing a video about the mechanics of left/right/neutral hopping and sliding? Those terms can be a bit confusing, and they seem like pretty essential building blocks for these shortcuts/strats. Thanks!

for the yoshi circuit, i always cut more in the beginning using a mushroom and use the boost from that to do the shortcut

This is great! I’m super excited to step into the harder sides of the shortcuts, and It’s actually a really cool idea of yours to rate it through enjoyment too :)

For yoshi circuit, its easier to use a mushroom

Thanks for the tips bro. Had a lot of trouble with the shy guy falls cut

I also enjoy the Hyrule Circuit NISC alot. It is not very hard once you master it, and it feels quite rewarding when done right. Also, I'd put the Mute City NISC on this list aswell. Other then that, this is a great video!

Thanks man i'm trying to get on a better division

I’m surprised Hyrule Circuit’s NISC didn’t make it on this list. It’s satisfying to do, and it saves like 2 seconds.

The best way to do the Yoshi circuit cut shroomless that I have found is thus: 1: Get the startup boost and cut the first turn tight, and release the mini turbo very early (you should DEFINITELY only get a blue. 2: Cut the 2nd turn as tight as possible (graze the grass a little if you have to) and release a blue mini turbo so you are heading down the middle of the road. 3: IMMEDIATELY charge another mini turbo, and charge it quickly (you should have a blue mini turbo available to you right before you hit the grass before the waterfall. 4: This Part gets complicated, you want to aim for an imaginary line between the middle and leftmost thirds of the ramp (you may or may not need to cut hard to do this) HOLD YOUR MINI TURBO UNTIL YOU ARE ABOUT 1/2 BETWEEN THE RAMP AND THE ROAD ON THE GRASS!!! This step is hard and also the most critical you want to release you mini turbo right before your momentum decreases enough to remove the mini turbo, take some time to get a feel for it, but once you get it, simply trick and pray you aimed correctly. I generally get this shortcut about 2/3 of the time now, and it is a lot of fun.

#10: ICE ICE OUTPOST DOUBLE CUT TOTAL: 7/15 DIFFICULTY: 1/5 ENJOYMENT: 4/5 REWARDING: 2/5 #9: TOAD HARBOR BEGINNING CUT TOTAL: 7/15 DIFFICULTY: 3/5 ENJOYMENT: 2/5 REWARDING: 2/5 #8:

For the TH cut, I feel that putting the stick to the left when hopping gives a bad line I've found a pretty good consistency on it by releasing the mt a little bit earlier than I used to and doing a plain neutral stick hop, kinda in the style of SGF or dHC niscs

Your commentary is awesome! I appreciate all of these insights!

dope video, learned a lot

Ευχαριστώ για τα φιλοδωρήματα! 🙏

Definitely helpful 👍🏻👍🏻 Ty

I like that one shortcut on Donut plains with those bridges cuz that one shortcut in the water is actually so OP

U can do the dolphin shoals shortcut shroomless too

I wish Mute City's final shroomless cut was number one. I pull it off pretty consistently online.

That’s the most Canadian intro ever lmao

I know that this video is 2 years old, and I don't think the booster pass existed back then but I have 4 words for you: DK summit gap jump, or that snow land whatever you call it mushroom shortcut

Do a 200cc shortcut tier list too

Yoshi Circuit is very easy on 200cc if you know the technique.

Thanks man

The ice ice outpost is pretty much impossible to do in 200cc

700th subscriber congrats

Hey im kind of new to this game, could you explain why its necessary to hop before executing the dragon driftway shortcut?

"Givin'er Bud" Canadian Detected(?)

These shortcuts that require hops in between always kill me.

7:14 regularily?

surprised big blue 200cc didnt make this list

The yoshi falls cut isn't that bad, you just have to use a shroom to cut the turn right before it. It's shown in twd98's newest mario kart 8 deluxe video.

Honestly yeah dYC Shroomless cut with 0 coins is litterally just a pain in the ass Lol I've only done it twice ever just goofing around, it's much more fun and easier doing it with 10 coins, or even some coins

new sub

The yoshi circuit shortcut took me 4 tries. Lol

You should remake this video now that we have dlcs!

I think enjoyment and rewarding are the same thing

dyc nisc gets more consistent if you left hop to right hop at least for me

Do I have to do these in 200cc??

what about big blue ultra short cut

Do all these work at 100cc? Cuz online ppl always pick 100cc for some reason... 😓

I think the yoshi shortcut he had trouble on was supposed to use a mushroom

Bro the Yoshi circuit shortcut is meant to be done with a mushroom.

Anyone else gonna comment on his pronunciation of regularly lol

Ive collected About 1500 coins and I have Noy gotten the wild wigler im pretty triggerd lol

Πάντα με παίρνουν με τα αντικείμενα τους πριν τα καταφέρω! 😢

rWS ramp strat lul ?

Rip Wild Woods Nisc :(

For yoshi Island just use a mushroom for it.

Great video but I’m not gonna lie the shortcuts in this game feel so underwhelming compared to Mario Kart Wii

I do 7 all the time

my g not putting big blue nisc on this:

Can't quite lmao

regularaly?

“Regularaly”

Is this 150 cc

Too easy!

Dude why are u shouting? my poor ears
