Can I get ALL 12 Placements in 12 Races? | Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Challenge

You can get 3rd and just wait

Yeah any specific middle spot is really tough. Depending on the level of the room you're in, 1st and 2nd could be even harder than that! You have to strategize accordingly

Another challenge: Make a wheel of challenges! every race you have to spin the wheel. Some ideas for the wheel: play without collecting coins, upside down controller, no items, no shortcuts, play with mittens, worst combo for etc.

[@bobosaurus331]

Upside down controller sounds horrible

[@marcossideaccount]

THATD BE SO FUN!!!

[@CourtneyMillikin]

YES!!

[@YujiPlowman-tm6id]

Idea for the wheel: Play Lemmy

[@unnamedplayer7]

no drifting (is it even viable today lets be honest), play with joycons and gyro controls (since shortcat plays with gc controller), no looking back, no minimap, use all items immediately, use only [certain type of item], longest routes, widest/worst lines, only glider/never glider when there's an option, play until x consecutive 1st places, 50cc, play 5ft from monitor, invert colors, flip display (vertical or horizontal), always have joystick fully engaged in a direction, only looking back, no audio, block out middle portion of screen (permanent blooper), backwards controller (buttons face away from player), random combo imagine how entertaining/infuriating this would be also if there was an irl cam of some sort, whether controller or monitor or face etc shortcat if you read this, sorry in advance for your upcoming nightmares

​@@cashbagthe WHAT

[@Mkmcco]

​@@cashbagWhere's the cave?

[@SunshineRey]

(For the above replies, the Athen’s Dash cave shows up at 10:46, when he was going up the stairs.) Yes to the first one. Always taking the coin path, going for shortcut (whether shroomless or not cause certain shortcuts just aren’t fast enough), avoiding shortcuts like MK8’s rainbow road’s cross cut, and just generally taking paths you’d never think to take like the cannon on Yoshi’s valley would make an absolute amazing video to watch as it not only tests his track knowledge and forces him to use items in weird spots you’d never think to use them, but makes an excuse for him to show off his shroomless cut knowledge. Just one caveat needs to be in place or else it’s absolutely impossible outside of probably just the rainbow roads and the F-zero tracks; “if you need a mushroom to take the shortcut and you don’t have anything for it, then you don’t need to take it.” Pretty sure he’s already done the second one, though I might be misremembering a different challenge.

Great video!!! also, idea for a challenge: pick like 3-8 characters and every time you lose a race (You don't get first or second), you can't play as that character anymore. The challenge ends when you run out of characters from your selected group, and the goal of the challenge is to see how many races you can win before running out of "lives" [that being the 3-8 characters u chose]. hope that sounds interesting and also I hope u have a great rest of ur day/evening!

The fact that this is such a unique game where each race can be as different as it can be; that getting in the middle of the whole pack is nothing but a detriment. You’re either front running or Bagging. That’s it.

[@FerrybigGaming]

The reason the game hides the placements near the finish line, is that the final placements are based on the times is based on times, while the placements on the right are based on position of the riders. This system prevents people from saying that when they were going over the finish line the counter was different, just because there was a slight lag spike

[@ianjjenkins]

I just thought of an offline challenge you could do. It's called the MarioKart Nuzlocke. Basically, win every match on every course. You will start with a character and every time you beat the main game's New courses AND retro courses, then every wave of every DLC you get a new character chosen from the lobby you were in. You cannot use smart steering nor auto accelerate, The CPU must be hard, Regular Items are turned on, and every course must be played in order starting always with Mario Kart Stadium. Once you lose, you lose the character you were playing as. You will have to restart if you lose all the characters you got. There will be "checkpoint" you will reach right after you get your new character, such checkpoints being the shell or turnip cup for example. I think this will be very hard, but still quite doable, so I hope to see you do it someday. Sorry for rambling on, there's just a lot of details for this.
