Which Mario Kart has the Hardest Special Cup? 

@@squiddler7731 and I’ve played it, and I can’t even get past Ghost valley 2 on 100cc (the second course of the flower cup)

I’ve recently been playing SMK again on NSO, and it’s complete utter bullshit. The extremely tight turns (looking at you, Mario Circuit 3), slippery after controls, janky physics and collisions making completely stop, and the straight cheating from the CPUs. They ignore the course entirely (rough terrain & hazards like the Thwomps in Bowser’s Castle & the ice blocks in Vanilla Lake), they can legit jump over items like bananas & Yoshi’s Egg, they rubberband two seconds after you pass them, and they sometimes use their special items twice in a row, even three or four times. Luigi has especially always been being a piece of shit to me with the stupidly frequent Starmans. The only reason I can even play it without breaking my controller is the NSO rewind feature, and even still it’s a load of horseshit.

I honestly thought it was going to be Super Circuit as I often hear people trashing that game a lot, but SC is pretty much based off SMK.

Super Mario Kart is really fun because it is simple and challenging. You just need good reactions and drift technique.++

The new hate against Super Mario Kart by zoomers who didn't even play it or get good at it is pathetic.

Greetings my friends from beyond and within the grave. In the short time in which we inhabit this world, It would be my honor to offer you a new life with Christ. Let today be the day you begin

@@jpraise6771don’t you have anything better to do? What do you gain from spamming Christian comments on every single video? Does it actually work for you, or do you guys just get off from it?

@@jpraise6771 Aah you're right, maybe Jesus can help me destroy my friends when playing Mario Kart, thanks for the advice /s if it wasn't obvious

Simply reaching special cup was a challenge in the SNES, isnt it exclusively 150cc?

My first was Mario kart 64 I got lucky avoiding the SNES version, I played it recently and it's by far the hardest because of the controls that's not good difficulty though.

Brake drift is OP

i am thnkful that you guys had to walk through garbage so we could run on clouds

As a competitive SMK Player, it honestly isn’t that bad to control. You just have to learn how to correctly take turns and MT

Even with this in mind, I calculated the mariokart 7 and ds ones and both of those are incorrect (not sure about the others, I couldn’t be bothered). So I have no clue what he’s done here but the maths is very off.

@@crabdud3I think he’s talking about the final placement, not the average over the cup.

I don't think knowing the difference between median and mean makes you a stat nerd, this is just basic knowledge

​@@brucepotter8817he's using median and then saying a number with a decimal. Literally isn't possible for the median to be anything but a whole number in this scenario.

Looking back at it I definitely didn't explain myself too well when it came to how it was calculated. For the overall cup rankings I averaged my placements across the four races say I placed 1st, 3rd, 1st, 2nd = 1.75 and I did that for each attempt (x20). I would then take the median of those means and used it as my final ranking as I deemed it would remove a lot of the random outliers. That being said for the tracks themselves I just took the mean of my placements across the 20 attempts. I was going to use Median as well but I realized a lot of the easier tracks would just end up with a Median of 1 and therefore there would be no way to differentiate them. I probably should have just kept it consistent and stuck with means the whole way through but I guess I've learnt my lesson. To think I wouldn't just get flamed for my driving skills but my math's ability as well 😂. That being said I do appreciate the willingness to help out my dumbass.

Y'all Luigi fans are still traumatized by the abuse in Superstar Saga, huh?

I was expecting him to use baby Mario lol

@@LunarWingCloud If we are trumatized by a Mario RPG abusing Luigi we will use paper jam as throughout the entire game it was nonstop Luigi abuse in dialouge.

​@@LunarWingCloud more like paper jam, that game had (quite literally) NOTHING but luigi abuse

How dare you insult super circuit my beloved

Blud threw shots at the super circuot stans

@@user-sh7kw2qr3yStan*

How dare you insult mariokart 7 I will die on this hill

to be completely honest, I get the reason why super circuit is bad to some, but 64 is worse than both but then again we all have different opinions

Fr i just noticed half way through and how the hell did he manage do get those obviously wrong scores 💀💀

The total scores are stupid because it's reliant on CPUs performance. In some of the games the game will intentionally create a rival ai who also beats all the others, resulting in there actually being a CPU keeping up in total score because when you win they always get a good placement. For games that don't have a rival it's much easier to get first overall in a gp even if you're not winning the individual tracks because there won't be the one CPU really vying for 1st, it'll just be a pool of mediocrity beneath you. The fact that he uses his final overall placement in the end instead of just average across the individual races means the data is worthless, but not necessarily wrong. As for the median thing yeah he just straight up doesn't know what the word means and probably thinks it made him sound smart or something.

Yeah it's bs

I agree, and personally think it's the best desert track since Kalimari desert

It's mid

It's an ok track just like most other desert tracks in Mario Kart

@@CreeperBone5000it has a good theme with unique concepts

The only bias in this video is his own familiarity with the various games and courses influencing his placement on each track. The numbers aren't something he just made up, those are his average placements from 20 races on each course.

​​@@VestedUTuberi licked up mario kart 8 for the third time ever today, played rainbow road on 150cc barely knowing the mechanics even work, and still got second place. 150cc special cup on the wii was something I spent an afternoon and a lot of rage getting down. But I do agree with the placement of MKDS. The AI in that game is a joke, and outside of getting combo'd at the end of lap 3, I can reliably not just get first place on each map, but do so with a 5+ second lead. Sometimes I would stop at the finish line, turn around, wait several seconds for the other racers to appear, then cross backwards

@@naverilllang Here's the thing - what you've got is an anecdote. Anecdotes can't directly challenge data gained from rigorous (relatively speaking) testing. That doesn't mean your perspective is invalid, just that it's one single data point floating in a sea of data. Honestly, I'd really like to see a followup to the video with a larger number of people and a larger number of runs. That way we'd be able to rule out familiarity with the various games' mechanics.

Yeah the zoomies who just played it for 30 minutes on NSO or Virtual Console, or just base their opinion on RU-vidrs, are fucking depressing.

DOUBLE DASH FOREVER!

there aren't many of us, that's for sure

@@abbyelectric the battle to the death between the 7 rainbow road fans and the Wii rainbow road fans is still happening i see

When did he say he loved Wii’s?

@@bimblebobble4438He, uhh, didn't. Which is correct, 7 is King

Is this in reverse order or...?

Yeah, that's the criticism that confused me. Feeling like you're driving on ice is like... the defining feature of dirt racing? Like all turning in dirt racing is drifting because it's so slippery.

That one was nothing compared to, idk, the Wii

@@danielcarrillo1057 ok so I grew up on the ds

¿A cuál te refieres?

@@labibliotecadesiro746 dry dry ruins. my bad for not saying that

@@user-sq1pc4eq4k Ah, vale, ya está más claro. Te doy la razón 😉. Ese circuito es genial.

The requirements to unlock that special cup are way too harsh for what's really the same special cup as on the SNES.

Elite

no it was between mk64 and 8

rainbow road.

rainbow road.

rainbow road.

Whelp: 3/4 isn’t bad

Didn't even stutter.
