Mario Kart 64 as You've Never Seen It Before - Low Poly - Episode 6

[@AStartShow]

Hey guys, Andy here For a year and half, I’ve been inundated with requests for new Low Poly, and this is the first of many planned. If you’re one of the hundreds of people who wanted this series to return, please support this episode by sharing it and liking it, show that algorithm we mean business. Thanks for the support guys.

YEEEESSS I AM SO GLAD ITS BACCKCK

[@dark0ssx]

They didn't use sprites instead of models for space reasons. A model wouldn't have taken up more than all the sprites needed for one racer. A sprite is less taxing on the cpu and can have more detail

[@xl2k2008]

Exactly what I was about to write. Sprites take way more memory than a 3d model, the "they used sprites because of memory limitations" doesn't make sense at all. It's all about performances and this game has a really really low polygon count

[@ShinoSarna]

Yeah, models are actually very small because at their basic, they're just a collection of numbers. Like, a single vertex is basically just 3 numbers (its coordinates). Much smaller than a bitmap, where every single pixel is a number. Of course that doesn't include textures and animations, but generally sprites are more intensive in memory, but much less for CPU.

[@yellowblanka6058]

This - it had everything to do with fillrate limits and little to do with cartridge space - in fact, 3D models and some lower res textures that could be reused across carts would have arguably taken less space than elaborate sprites needing individual frames of animation, but of course the pre-rendered sprites looked smoother and more detailed and it's far less taxing to draw 8 sprites onscreen than 8 3D models.

[@mzxrules]

@@ShinoSarna on the N64 it was a little more than just three numbers since vertex data also stored texture coordinates, alpha and either a normal vector or a color

[@ChadDidNothingWrong]

@@xl2k2008 Although way less than a model and it's textures, these sprites probably didn't take up that much space (assuming some compression?)....but it was a huge weight off the processor to save the 200+ (x8) polygons required to show even the most rudimentary kart models with sprites for wheels, any frame bars, etc... then for characters, add to that the ~300 (x8 again) polys needed just for equivalents to that ugly low detail version of the Mario 64 model on top of it. so 4,000 extra polys...and that's only IF you redesigned them with fairings......otherwise for 8 similarly-normal-looking karts, with all the intricacies, probably about a total of 10,000 extra polys needed (1,000+ each kart) absolute minimum....and they'd be ugly.

[@dan_loup]

The 2D sprites actually take more cartridge space than if the carts were 3D models. But the game wouldn't run as nearly as smooth (see Diddy kong racing)

[@NotPython]

that seems a little off, surely a low-def sprite slapped onto an 8 tri model would take up less than a higher-def texture uv mapped onto a model with a high poly count

[@dan_loup]

The thing is that it's not one low-def sprite, it's 64 of em, per character.

[@IrishmanAC]

@@BlueAizu_ That is simply because a polygon model and uv mapping are stored as just simple text files. You get rid of having a fully prepared sprite to render in exchange for asking the system to draw the model and texture every frame or so using that information. Out of all of the files for a model the texture itself would still probably be the largest space wise in that, far less than 64 separate drawings.

[@Imgema]

@@NotPython Each character needs a lot of sprites for the animations. So they take up more space.

[@ZelosSama]

Well they went with the tactics at the time. They nusnt have thought it through completely , and when diddy kong racing came up , they fixed it. Well thats my theory

I remember realizing they were sprites back when I was playing this as a kid... still amazing how good it looked. It stood out b/c of the pixelated edges of the characters. I may have had it easier than most at the time in noticing it though since I had watched a Donkey Kong Country making of / Behind-the-scenes VHS tape which explained the technique. Pre-rendered sprites were usually much better looking than the extremely low-poly primitive 3D graphics available on consoles of the time (N64, PSX, Saturn).

[@Westile]

I refuse to believe that people didn't know they were sprites back in the day.

[@lemons2300]

I havent played this game back then, but Ive played enough games to know that there are always and will always be limitations in the technology to make/force/encourge ppl to create games in certain ways, but that was never something I was particular interested in as a child. So I don't think I would've cared even if I did notice, and it'd most likely end up being an afterthought that would last about a second or two. Im more fascinated as to how ppl are getting all anal about this.

[@MrMarinus18]

Yeah, that would be neat since he changes designs so much. I really like is DOD design, I think it's where he looks the most like a dragon. All the cutscene's are in engine and so I would think it would be quite high poly. I do wish there were more video game characters like Spyro. Ones who are quadruped and absolutely not human. I really like Amatarasasu from Okami for the same reason.

[@awwtizem4173]

I don't know if anyone else is like me, but playing MarioKart 64 for the first time, I could instantly tell that it was using 2D sprites.

[@leeguest9133]

[@tmack729]

Yeah, it's one of the first things I noticed about it.

[@ChadMojito]

[@ShinoSarna]

Probably because they were blurry, and all sprites on N64 are blurry because of texture filtering. Polygon models, on the other hand, are nice and sharp.

[@piratesephiroth]

Who didn't see that it was all 2D sprites? I could tell that back in the day, they were a blurry mess even in old CRTs.

I kinda noticed the “Low Poly” Thing you speak of, as a child on Peach’s Castle Road , everytime I’m off the half bridge.. in the air the camera would have a *overhead look* but I actually can’t see no more detail over the characters head, theyjust remained flat But amazing breakdown tho 💯

[@MegaLazygamer]

1:05 30 fps is only possible on cartage? Lots of CD based games ran at 30 or even 60 fps. 3:31 Eight, not sixteen. 3:45 Sprites are used because of CPU limitations, not memory. These spires used in this game are actually fairly memory intensive. 3:48 Technical mastery? That is a very, very, very common effect. Nearly every game of the generation did this. No exaggeration: nearly every one. 4:49 I count seventeen.

I knew since day 1 (in 1997) that they used 2D sprites. It's quite obvious.

[@WaxxyOne]

How is this news? If you played Mario Kart 64 and didn't notice that all the characters were pre-rendered sprites, you clearly weren't paying attention. Also, you act like billboarding (rendering a flat model so it's always perpendicular to the screen) was somehow new or advanced tech, when games had been doing it for years by that point. Everything from Super Mario 64's trees to all of Doom's in game sprites were programmed to do something similar. It's not like they invented the technique.

[@SFX_200]

It's news to people that only played the limited number of Nintendo stuff that used those techniques and never ventured out to any other system or computer.

The way they move too looks like animations you would give like a sprite especially when the camera turns around on a character

[@sebastiankulche]

Like a good old youtuber said, they are not even convincing sprites, they are not well cropped out and the animation makes the gameplay harder for not being perfectly in sync with your movement contrary to DKR or CTR.

Wrong, sprites take more cartridge space than static textures and 3d models + animation data, they used sprites due to technical limitations, like having high enough polly models to look good could drop the frame rate bellow 30 and could be a real strain in split screen

The sprites were for performance issues, not memory issues. The 64 frames are because 64 is the smallest power of two that looks smooth. It's why the N64 is called N64 as well. The N64 is 64-bit, and 64 is the smallest power of 2 that's efficient in a processor. Edited, because these butthurt stereotypes keep misinterpreting everything I say.

Thank you KZbin for waiting 4 days to recommend me this even though I rewatched all the old episodes 3 times

So many sarcastic comments about how you haven't released one of these for a while... He's not obliged to make these videos! Just enjoy them when they're released!

You sound salty.

@@yamakingz2 about what? Hahaha no Salt there, it takes creators time to make videos so they're released when they're done. Just a fact, man!
