Busting 20 Mario Kart Myths

I am going to be busting 20 myths, urban legends and rumors in the Super Mario Kart Series. Questions you've always wondered like how to hide from the Blue shell if you're in 1st place in Mario Kart Double Dash or does the Bullet Bill item go further if your in 1st place compared to if you are in 2nd in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe?
In this video, I'll take a look at a complete history of Mario Kart rumors. Our journey covering major rumors starts with Super Mario Kart. on the Super Nintendo, and goes all the way to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on the Nintendo Switch. Can you unlock Waluigi in Super Mario 64 DS? Or Luigi in Super Mario Sunshine? You'll know soon enough.

Myth: If you spam the jump button after touching the pole in Super Mario 3d World, the character will do a short jump.

Those missions from Mario Kart Wii weren’t totally unused. They used to have bi-monthly tournaments you could participate in and that’s what they were things like what you showed in the video. My theory is they planned for mission mode to come back in Mario Kart Wii but they ran out of time due to Nintendo wanting the game out by a certain date so they scrapped it. But because they’d done the work on some missions already they just turned them into the tournaments instead. When it came time to make Mario Kart 7 they probably had a discussion on what features to bring back from Mario Kart Wii, and because Mario Kart Wii didn’t have a mission mode it wasn’t considered for Mario Kart 7. And then with Mario Kart 8 since it wasn’t in Mario Kart 7 it once again was left unconsidered and so never returned.

The other day I was playing 8 deluxe online. I had a blue shell in my second slot. I had mushrooms or something in the first slot and found a space to use them and I was like “oh let me get rid of this blue shell” not realizing I was in first at that point and blued myself online 😂😂. It was so embarrassing.

[@Liggliluff]

(2:55) Just because a thing is scrapped doesn't mean it isn't in the game. It could still exist in the game, just not accessible through normal means. A bug or code injection could give you access to it, if it still remains in the game.

[@SuperNickid]

@Liggliluff: I know about code injection but not fully, it is just code injection you can makes something impossible happen to the game, for example: Super mario world with TAS(Tool assisted Speed run) they have special tool on a PC that can make frame by frame input while using a glitch in Super mario world that allows Abritrary code execution that lead to code injection and they where able to change Super mario world into the 8 bit version of Super mario bros. but with the All-stars version of the music

[@SumnerTube21]

It is there and it is blatantly used in the award ceremony

[@Unchainedful]

For code injection, the code MUST already exist in the data for you to inject and use the data. For example, Donkey Kong Jr. exists in the early demo game’s data, however that does not mean you can inject the code into the retail game, it will simply cause a crash. All the other things you mention with using All Stars music in normal Super Mario Bros. is simply a mod, not an injection.

Fun fact about how far the bullet bill goes. It is based on how many opponents the bill passes. The bullet starts to slow down after you pass a certain amount of opponents. I think it’s five or six. So you can theoretically go further in second place than last place depending on how many players you pass

[@ricardopratt5190]

Someone else already said it, but those missions in Mario Kart Wii actually did make it into the game. In the online mode, they periodically made these small competitions where you had to fight bosses or do special races while competing for the best times with players around the world. If I remember right, there even was a German Nintendo magazine that gave out small rewards for people with the best times.

[@Jcool114]

Another banger video bro, keep it up!

[@mastermewtwo5503]

A few thoughts from me... Hiding from Blue Shell: The Blue Shell travels around the track to find and hit 1st Place, as it should; that's where you're supposed to be. Being all the way up there though, you're not on the main track anymore and thus not in the Blue Shell's pathing... But then again, staying up there in a real race means you're not going to keep first place so what's the point? Blue Yourself: Yeah, this is an actual category speedrunners do. See Skilloz's video for all those details. Particularly, the category was in Mario Kart 8 whereas Bits is playing Double Dash. Blow on Dandelions: You could pass through them while blowing potentially and pretend like your blowing destroyed the dandelions as opposed to your vehicle. Would be an odd way to implement microphone controls in a racing game... Wait, the Wii U had a microphone?

[@strawberrylemonadelioness]

I haven't heard of these myths before, but seeing Double Dash gameplay brings back memories, it's one of my favorite GameCube games up there with Super Mario Sunshine (Which is my favorite Mario Game of all time) and Animal Crossing.

When I was a young girl, one day I went to load up Super Mario Kart. Unknown to me, my controller was not fully plugged into the SNES, so it wasn't sending controller input signals correctly. I tried to select my racer, and my racer shrank. I was certainly surprised. I can only assume that due to my controller connection being lose, it sent the signals for that command even though I wasn't actually pushing that button sequence. I reset my SNES and the same thing still happened. I fixed the "glitch" when I checked my controller connection and found it loose. Curious about this, I started experimenting with button press combinations and I finally found one that shrank me. I beleive it was "L Y and A". The L button was unnecessary, but I was holding it as I was experminting. When my controller was loose, I couldn't actually start the race because pressing the confirm button shrank and enlarged my racer. But this "button combo" I had found let me start the race. I couldn't believe it let me race as a shrunk racer. I don't know if I was the "first" to discover the trick. This was before the Internet was wide-spread. I didn't even have a computer, and it didn't cross my mind to write into Nintendo Power with my discovery. A few months later I believe I saw the trick show up in Nintendo Power and I was like "Hey! That's the shrink trick I found!". But it is a trick I discovered for myself thanks to a loose controller.

[@maxthompson7107]

The multiple characters in Mario Kart Wii glitch kind of reminds me of another glitch I found a few years ago in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. From what I've seen, you'd have to select a character and pick a skin. Say, green Kirby. After selecting green Kirby, remove that player from the game and select green Kirby again in a different player slot. Once you have the desired amount of green Kirby's, you'd have to activate team mode, activate all player slots with green Kirby in them and then deactivate team mode.

Luigi’s eyes on the main screen of virtual cup… 7:13

[@brandonant6675]

I have one that adds on to the "wii select the same character." 2 Players select Luigi. Win as first and second. In the winning ceremony screen, one of the Luigi's will be replaced by a Mii version. I've only ever had this work as Luigi (I've only also tried Mario, Walugi, and Yoshi so maybe others do.)

[@SuperNickid]

@Infinite Bits: You miss this for Super mario kart If you bought a used cartridge of Super Mario kart and their is still someone else save file, and you want to do all the cup by yourself on the title screen before the demo start, and also before the screen of choseing 1 player 2 player game. Hold the button on the controler so it spell out LARY and then you will receive the option to deleted data. This is usefull in nintendo switch online if you accidently enter the special edition version where 150cc is already unlock for you and you can give it an attempt on trying to unlock it yourself by using this code however leaving the game, and resetting the game will return the 150cc unlock again in the special edition so to continued trying to unlock yourself in the special edition save state.

the mario kart wii mission mode was very obviously scrapped in favor of the online tournaments, which basically did the exact same thing as mission mode but a new tournament would appear on the mario kart channel every once in a while and you could see everyone else who also did it and compare scores/times. the stage seen in the footage is galaxy colosseum, a tournament only arena where you battled against that topman

The blue shell first place one is more common in mario kart 64 in koopa troopa beach. Right next where the shortcut ends if you pick up the box that is on top of the block you're guaranteed to get a blue shell no matter your placement. So yes, you can get a blue shell at first place and if you use it then you would hit yourself

[@NicoDoesStufff]

2:56 the feather was most likely scrapped due to hardware limitations, just like Luigi in sm64, after all the N 64 only has 64mb to deal with.

Mario Kart XXL reminds me of that early version of Banjo-Pilot (it may have been called Banjo-Kazoomie at the time, but I'm not 100% sure) which also had 3D graphics on the GBA

[@idontwantahandlethough]

I think it might be the final product of that techo demo, oddly enough! I'm fairly certain it ended up being turned into another (full) GBA racing game, idk if that was that one though edit: nvm it was turned into another game. I did learn that Banjo-pilot was originally going to be a diddy kong racing game though! Thought you might like to know that :)

I got one for ya. On SNES w/ the shrinking characters on the screen, on a REAL SNES (mine anyways) if you slowly plug the controller in and out, it'll shrink the characters.

and all the commentary feels so forced

[@SuperNickid]

@Infinite Bits: You want to play Super mario kart in 1 player game but you where such in a rush you plug your controler into player 2 port by mistake and already have the game on, and even thought their is not player 1 controler the game does not give you an error message, so you notice that you can still control with player 2 controler but if you try to enter a one player game with player 2 controler it does not work, but to make it work hold L and R and while holding L and R on player 2 controler when 1 player game is selected press start or B on player 2 controler while still holding L and R. You will be player a 1 player grand prix using player 2 screen and the Map screen and review screen will be on the top, also you will start the first race on position 7th the same spot that player 2 start. You can even play time trial this way, after doing this if you return with player 1 controler playing a 1 player game when you attempt to select a character the default selection would be what Cpu was using starting on position 8th on the first race.

So that's the Double Dash blue shell in this video and the Wii blue shell in a much older one I've seen before. I'm guessing the one in 64 also hits yourself (yes, 64 has the blue shell, and it even marks the first time a shell in any of the games has ever made a "traveling" sound, but the CPU player item code is incomplete in 64 so shells of any type cannot be used by CPUs), but I wonder if the later dev teams ever saw this as a "problem" to be fixed?
