Analyzing & Reacting to 200cc World Records in Mario Kart Wii!

[@NMeade]

This truly delivered and exceeded my expectations for how much 200cc MKW World Records have evolved. I hope you all enjoy this one! Thank you to those who helped clarify everyone's alias, I suspected a few people had used an alternative mii in some of the times. LC: Besart F. (Besart F.) CM: Weexy (Indy) DKSC: Mystogan (BBLDrizzy) RPB: Kasey (Kasey) RDKM: KingAlex (KingAlex) The other 27: Hia (Schmancy, MrWaffle) Congratulations to all who are competing for 200cc MKW WRs, the competition is quite steep with Hia's immense dominance from what I'm seeing in the comments! I am definitely up to doing the glitch/major SC categories for 200cc WRs, I would have also included them in this video but the category breakdowns were confusing going through CTGP's leaderboards (some categories of 'normal' and 'shortcut' or 'no shortcut' (the wording was odd to my memory) were sometimes only separated by less than 2 seconds so I wasn't sure of the differences were that significant or noteworthy between categories). If someone is able to clarify what would be the proper times/CTGP categories to watch for them, I'm up to doing them. Lastly, if you like 200cc WRs for MKW, check out the 200cc CTGP Records YT channel so you can see when new records are broken and older history: www.youtube.com/@200ccCTGPRecords

Here’s a quick clarification of the 200cc categories! They are definitely confusing and we often have to explain them in the server. Most tracks are similar to 150 in the sense that they have one or two categories. Some tracks are glitch and no-glitch (i.e. MG), and some tracks are no-glitch and shortcut instead,(i.e. rDKM, no-sc and sc.) Four tracks (CM, GV, BCwii, rDKJP) have THREE categories; a no-glitch/no-shortcut run, a no-glitch/shortcut run, and an ultra(glitch) run. These are, from slowest to fastest: CM: drive normally with end cut (broken on chadsoft leaderboards), the one covered here, ultra shortcut. GV: No rock hop, rock hop, ultra. BCwii: No half pipe glitch or end cut, half pipe glitch *and/or* ending cut, 200cc-only ultra shortcut. rDKJP: no spiral skip, spiral skip, ultra shortcut.

[@CowMaam]

“Normal” means Shortcut run, and is used when a No-Shortcut run also exists. We do not know why and it is honestly a bit annoying because it ends up confusing everyone. One other note: the No-Shortcut CM time on the leaderboards is incorrect. Bean has yet to fix the leaderboard meaning we have put the real BKT in a spreadsheet of ours. You can find it in the server or in the descriptions of several 200cc records videos!!

[@ElecTrick11037]

So happy to see some 200cc representation! Definitely hoping to get a record eventually but Hia (Schmancy) is just too good (He currently has 27/32 no shortcut WRs, 2 shortcut WRs and a glitch WR, as well as WW tops on every 200cc RT. The only no shortcut WRs he doesn't have are LC, rPB, rDKM, CM and DKSC, the latter two being tracks he has had the WR on. He's just on another level lol)

[@CowMaam]

not only that, on the FIVE (only five) tracks he doesn’t have WR on, he has top 3 WW. he has WR on 27/32 and 2nd or 3rd on the others. Also, his name is Hia. Schmancy is a silly mii he uses LOL

[@Qynxc]

He stole the stadium record from falco like 3 times only weeks before nmeade makes a video on 200cc runs. Dude needs to go outside

[@NMeade]

Absolutely immense domination that's insane 🤯

[@OrangeTheYoshi]

However it is illegal for Hia to get LC WR. That is for Besart only.

[@Swpht]

Been a while since I've had time to sit down and watch a vid of yours but the added mini video and text comments to show what you are talking about or give more detail is super clean and really adds to the video. Love to see the additions

[@CowMaam]

just so ppl know since it’s not in the video: WR holders: LC: Besart F. CM: Weexy DKS: Mystogan rPB: Kasey rDKM: KingAlex The other 27: Hia

[@NMeade]

Thank you for clarifying! I suspected a few people had used an alternative mii in some of the times. I added the names clarification to a pinned comment.

[@AzulMKW]

Brother. You always bring out the best in MKWii with these videos! We as a community are proud of you.

[@Mystogan553]

Awesome to see you reacting to 200cc time trials! I am the bbldrizzy from dk summit 😂 It is indeed a very hard track. Took me quite a bit of grinding to get the record. Hope to maybe see you react to all the 200cc custom track wrs one day 😄 There's definitely a lot more player diversity over there

[@NMeade]

Congrats on such a sick time! Glad that my suspicions for it being a difficult 200cc category to TT is correct. 200cc CT WRs would be an immense one to do, maybe one day. And lastly regarding the name: LOL

[@DayE114]

Many people immediately dismiss this category as a talentless one that anyone can get a record on. Not true!! Thanks for showing 200cc for what it is! so glad you enjoyed

[@Maxopt]

Thank you for your in depth explanations of some of the strategies and terminology! as someone who started playing the game late, your breakdowns of the history of the old strats helps me to get a better picture of it all.

[@kogmawmain8872]

At 21:52 you can see the Speedometer showing 180 km/h because of the trick from the blue zipper and the wheelie but then it goes down to like 143 km/h. But if you take a close look at laps 1 (21:18) and lap 3 (22:25) it's pretty much the same thing, even tho you can see them still being in a boost. This is because it's not a "normal" boost panel like found e.g. on Luigi Circuit but instead a flip trick ramp, which only accelerates you to 100 km/h. For some reason, it still would only make you go 100 km/h on 200cc (except that your top speed is naturally faster and you obviously don't get slowed down from the boost panel), so I'm pretty sure missing that boost panel loses basically no time.

[@betathunder13]

Love the commentary and editing of past strats, always fascinating to hear your insights!!

[@__a_4444]

Man I'm so glad I have a 48 minute NMeade video to decompress on a Friday night. Your videos are so relaxing and informative Nick.

[@General12th]

Hi Nick! I'm so glad 200cc has gotten the love it's deserved over the past few years. Just because it's not official doesn't mean it's not worthy of competition!

[@Serperior10101]

That DK Mountain strat might be the craziest one in a video full of wild shortcuts!

[@kogmawmain8872]

38:51 that shroom strat is hilarious.

[@CowMaam]

We literally do not know what the fastest shroomstrat is on DKJP LOL

[@agentblackbird9435]

Hi KogMaw

[@roymatthewmusic]

I just felt compelled to come here and say NMeade, you rock!!! I bet you can get the WR on all the tracks :D

[@NMeade]

Thank you! I'll gladly say there's no way I could ever do that 😄

[@never1163]

great content Nick i love those wr reactions so much!!! will you react to GV rock hop and JP spiral skip wrs in your yearly reactions?

[@NMeade]

I'm glad you've been enjoying them! I will include them this year.

[@never1163]

@NMeade i got into mkwii because of your monthly wr updates and actually bought a wii to start time trialing in october, so far my best run is a 1:46 on MG no glitch and its so fun to tt so thanks for inspiring me🙏

[@kogmawmain8872]

I imagine the reason they use Mach on Moonview is the turn at 20:24. I mean, they don't use Spear on 150 cc for a reason too, right? (Yes, I know Spear was used at some point on 150cc for Moonview.) Another thing to keep in mind is that Mach goes full speed at the boost panel section when in a wheelie. Edit: Looks like you had the same idea.

[@Maythews]

Spear does the hairpin just fine on 150, it's slower because of the MTs

[@markflakez]

It's really awesome to see a speedrunner react to new speedrun strats. Love it!

[@Louie_Us]

Ah yes the best birthday present. An nmeade upload. Thank you 🙏🙏

[@khirek5335]

[@khirek5335]

@@Louie_Us 22🤝And nice to hear that there are people even younger than me who appreciate mkwii content I always had a feeling it's one of those games that only people who grew up with it when it came out play anymore

[@Louie_Us]

@khirek5335 oh yeah for sure this will always be for favorite game. Cant wait to start time trialing for this game and maybe even mk8dlx more in the future

[@deadmanwalks3991]

Nice to see you branch away from the typical 150cc bike runs👀 but that leaves the question of kart bkts when😏 as a kart tt main karts are really amazing to watch and I’d love to see a bike player reaction to the things kart does. (Though there would need to be some help from kart community as iirc some “sc” runs are classified as no sc on some leaderboards and that one specific “anonymous player” situation…💀)

[@the_banshee6708]

I can’t wait for the end of the year 150cc world records video. There was so many amazing improvements this year.

[@tprofz]

Dude! You have my respect for reacting for a whole hour 👌 love the dedication🫡

[@BreadAccountant]

i scrolled to the comments and saw people talking about the DK mountain strat. Absolute insanity

[@napkinx4341]

these were really cool to see, the last time i saw these were in a twd98 compilation years ago

[@mikemeetstec]

Great reactions Nmeade, love it! 😀

[@shueflyeeditstuff19xx]

I really love your commentary!

[@zachdamenti4387]

200cc World Records will always be endless!

[@kajsdf3iu34y2]

come on man i got an assignment due tomorrow why you gotta upload this now

[@NMeade]

You got this! Finish your work to enjoy watching this in peace 🤝

[@IlcamslI]

wow that dk mountain sc was insane love mkwii physics

[@JSupremee]

Drake's about to sue you for reacting to BBLDrizzy's record 😂😂

[@NMeade]

LMAO 😆Drake got cooked. He'll be suing everyone eventually at this rate not just UMG/Kendrick 🤣

[@SnugglyDashie]

20:40 As someone who has not played MKW in probably 10 years, but watches almost every Troy video... I would ASSUME that daisy mach is used over funky flame because for the entire bavk half of the lap you are on boost panels anyway, and the first half mach looks like it would be better regardless, for MT purposes... also on the turn before the bridge maybe the brake drifting with funky flame would be slower than no brakedrift daisy mach? especially considering the shroom spot is right afterwards going into the boost panels someone correct me if i am wrong but i would assume that is why

[@SergioMKW]

Woah, absolutely insane

[@Kotohira_]

Why is the top mushroom route faster? Less air time? That is wild.

[@BowieProYT]

i'd love to see a vid for the other categories

[@INFINITY_99]

Awesome video 🔥

[@kogmawmain8872]

The shortcut you're talking about at 35:48 is actually possible with one shroom. But I'm not sure if this applies to bikes.

[@CowMaam]

not on bikes

[@19seb85]

You could also do a flap video. They don't get enough love in the Wii version of MK

[@GaelLazerYT]

Nick with this by watchign 200cc records you will win the next FL video with Troy

[@louiswolfe5012]

Where's Arthur's TF shortcut time? Or all the glitch WRs?

Great vid!! Makes me kinda wanna play 200cc

Are you sick? You sound a little sick

[@NMeade]

Nope! Maybe a tad sleep deprived and doing long recordings for other commentary videos in the works. If you want to hear sick, look at the last 2-3 hours of the all CT WR reaction LOL

[@j-yoshi64_justcallmej]

48 and a half minutes is awful long for a video about why I don't do TTs
