What's up I'm RedFalcon and right now I'm playing Mario Party Superstars for the Nintendo Switch. I might play minigames against the Master CPUs, I might play boards against characters like Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Rosalina, Birdo, Wario, Waluigi and more?! Is that all of them? We don't know yet! What we do know as that we can play Mario Party Superstars online on boards like Yoshi's Tropical Island, Peach's Birthday Cake, Space Land, Horror Land, and more! Stay tuned, and subscribe for more Mario Party action honestly if you're reading this then I would be shocked if you weren't already subscribed I'm not sure why I'm asking you.. you gotta be one of the FANS. Well thanks for watching, keep enjoyin and don't be afraid to touch my thumb button on the video and leave a comment if you made it this far in the description tags. Tell me who your favorite character is and why is it Yoshi because he's so cute it's literally unfair. Ok bye!!

I feel like they added this in for a lot of tracks when porting them over. I did this a lot on my DS Lite and remember being able to run the majority of the tracks backwards.

[@alexanderackerman3807]

It's probably due to things like the addition of glider features and jumps for tricks

[@kayden2119]

gliders exist

[@SuperPrestogamer]

@@alexanderackerman3807 actually…if you play balloon battle on mario kart 8 for the Wii U, the battle courses were race tracks from the game, so I’m sure that’s a reason for why some of the tracks you can do backwards

6:54 its actually possible to go through that gap with enough persistence and complete a lap, im pretty sure it rlly screws up the checkpoints and the third lap finishes at the lap 2 checkpoint lol

[@patrickbutsmart]

You can do the 3rd and 2nd section but can't do the first one making it impossible to do the full lap.there was actually a poll on the speedrunning server to whether it should count or not (they voted not )

Hey Falc, just to be clear you can actually do super bell subway backwards. All you have to do is get on top of a blue train and you can get onto the other part.

[@cjs_v.j.6350]

This is what mirror mode should have been with obvious changes made to accommodate the reversed tracks

[@PhantomOfficial07]

Mirror mode should've been a toggle for every cc, I always thought it was dumb that it was locked at 150cc when 200cc is so much more fun

[@benthecat4345]

For tracks like Mount Wario, try going to the end of the track and attempt to make the way back to the beginning

[@TeknoThom]

Even then they still aren’t possible. Mount Wario has the ski jump and Big Blue has the jump at the end and even if you could get over it you still have an entire glider section

[@yastenjapfan4854]

Yeah most sprint tracks are pretty much impossible. Except if you do a forwards then backwards tbh. On the other hand most 3 checkpoint circuits like retro Rainbow Road are a lap so...

[@kellydickinson2724]

Fun Fact: Twisted Mansion and Music Park is possible backwards. In Twisted Mansion, if you go to the right corner beside the glider portion, it somehow disables Lakitu and you can go forth with the water fountain jump (This was patched). In Music Park, you need to use mushrooms in precise timing in certain jumps of the track.

[@naomi9657]

We need a Part 2 for this! People are talking a lot about Super Bell Subway, Mount Wario and Big Blue, and other tracks they say are possible. Maybe try 200cc or another character/kart. Also please try the new DLC tracks. Loved this video :D

[@bestplays2739]

I've done Animal Crossing backwards, it just requires alot of precision. For the first jump, you have to go right down the middle and jump. Then the glider section is the most difficult. Go towards the left-most log, and use a mushroom just on the right bit. Then, swerve towards the middle of the track then use another mushroom just before you trick off of the fountain. With enough patience, you should be able to get it.

[@galfinsp7216]

Someone should made a thread in a MK8D discord or subreddit dedicated to solving as many much like speedrunning

[@bestplays2739]

I think that would be cool, and by looking at the comments, there are about 15 tracks that can be completed. I'm also doing a few tests on Paris Promenade on if you can do it backwards before the third lap. So far I've clipped through a wall twice.

[@lochiegriffiths4712]

I remember when I was younger, I was playing mario kart on the ds and want to see what would happen if I did a lap backwards, and I found out that doing this on the last lap would undo the previous laps. I could very well be remembering it incorrectly. It was like ~10 years ago I also see that this video isn't actually about whether or not you can complete a course by going the wrong way and actually completing it like you would normally by crossing the finish line

[@gregericson4868]

Yoshi valley is also possible by doing a glitch called wall crossing that makes you go through the ledge then you fall and lakatu once again helps you get on the ledge.

[@Maya_Kills_It]

The toad impression was on point 👌👌👌👌

[@gregericson4868]

Music park is possible by coming to that ledge and hopping at the perfect time and the music note things can help you get over the first two ledges then you can bounce off the next drum twice and it will make you fall off next to the xylophone and Lakatu will put you on top and for the other two xylophones mushroom off the road next to them and lakatu will do the same thing.

[@spongebobmusicuhg3420]

Actually, you can do Twisted Mansion backwards. Just use a mushroom or two (or maybe even three) and trick off the fountain and if you get enough air speed, you'll land into the water section.

The only one I feel you should try again is Yoshi Valley since that track has multiple secret areas. Other than that, great video! Very informative.

[@Tiggersrtipe]

On the non-deluxe version, in battle it uses 8 of the regular tracks that can be used forwards and backwards. Yoshi Valley is one so I’m pretty sure that can be done

Twisted mansion might be possible with a lighter cart setup

[@rykyrgski6168]

On Luigi's mansion, you can do it with a faster speed combo but don't forget to bump the right corner or lakitu will grab you. Bump the right corner and use a higher speed combo. You can also pass super bell subway by getting on top of the trains

[@lost_in_souls]

I'd love to see Falc do a bully challenge in Mario Party Superstars. All he would need to do is pick a character, and make sure they get 4th place overall. Added Challenge if they are on a harder difficulty than the other CPUs

[@EthanTheGamer77]

So you try to sabotage a specific player

[@Abdullahwillanimate]

Ok here is something,for any of you that didn’t know,twisted mansion is actually possible by running to the wall that the gate is open on the side and that will disable Lakitu and you also need ten coins and a mushroom to do the jump.

[@gregericson4868]

That jump on thwomp ruins is actually possible but there is a barrier after that so it's still impossible.

[@darklightning2730]

For Super Bell Subway, you can go on top of one of the subway trains to make it to the other side.

[@kingsKayden]

that beeping of the wrong way will be in my nightmares

[@JTTunes1204]

N64 Rainbow Road actually is possible backwards, you just gotta ride into that corner gap where the glider ramp and the barrier is, and it causes a glitch to screw up your lap counter too!

[@melre4652]

[@galxykitten]

Redfalcon: I can do this also Redfalcon: I cant do this

[@kaylewolf]

As well as mirror mode, there should be reverse races too, either travelling the track backwards or reversing normal tracks XD

[@aidenemerson670]

Nintendo needs to add a reverse mode to this game

[@Jakey_Boy-lt6uw]

On Animal Crossing, try a 200cc Time Trial, and mushroom into that grassy bump to clear the gap. Mushroom at the fountain later in the backwards lap, hop (don’t trick) to soar all the way back over the glider ramp, then finish the lap. On Super Bell Subway, drive onto a high catwalk, then hop on a train travelling in the opposite direction to how you race normally. Ride the train until you reach the end of the tunnel, then mushroom and hop off onto the platform above the tracks. Then complete the lap.

[@ACatUwU]

on music park, that jump is possible by going a little bit to the right side and just launching and through that you reach a checkpoint
