Deep Dive of The Mario Kart Iceberg!

This video has been a huge passion project for me. I have spent around a month or so making this video and it has been a blast. I am gonna make more icebergs in the future. I may even make an updated version of this one if anyone has any suggestions on what to put in it. I hope you enjoy the video whether it is something you watch or listen to in the background while doing stuff you have been procrastinating :)

[@atomicaqua]

Thank you for watching the video! The sources are in the description. If you think I have missed entries let me know as I might make a follow up video with them in.

[@MarioKartSuperCircuit]

I'd say that you got majority everything, the only I would say is maybe if there were to be a follow up video you could talk more about the Development of some of these games more, as there is some really interesting stuff in some of the development for example Super Mario Kart and Super Circuit alone along with plenty of other interesting scrapped features in other Mario Kart games. One of the more interesting ones is during Super Mario Kart R's development, a hard drive crashed and they ended up losing 20% of the assets for the game, hence why the characters look so different in the final game.

[@atomicaqua]

@@MarioKartSuperCircuit that is an awesome suggestion! I never knew that 20% of the assets were lost, that would be very interesting to talk about

[@MarioKartSuperCircuit]

@@atomicaqua I tried sending a response back with the source of the info, but it appears that KZbin checked it as a inappropriate comment because it was a link lol I also greatly appreciate the fact that one of my videos made it into this one, I never thought I would ever see that in my life

[@atomicaqua]

@@MarioKartSuperCircuit man KZbin has no chill I really appreciate you trying to send me the source tho! Your video was extremely useful! Thank you for posting your video! It was awesome seeing a longer video of the Mario kart GameCube tech demo especially since I am so used to seeing videos of it for around 7 seconds

[@atomicaqua]

Thank you for letting me know :)

[@Static_Screen]

That was a pretty interesting, I didn't expect James Charles of all people make an appearance!

[@atomicaqua]

Thank you! I thought he would be an interesting sort of wild card in there since you would not expect him to be a big fan of Mario Kart.

[@cosmicsunset2806]

james is everywhere…

[@CabinetsAndCupboards]

you thought a terrorist picture was more likely than james charles?

[@cosmicsunset2806]

@@CabinetsAndCupboards i dont think thats what they meant lol both can be unexpected

[@Gemtacbotgameing3]

The fact that I just started watching the video and this is the first thing I see 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

[@Cartoonicus]

I have the feeling that Marianas trench fact is about to launch itself all the way to the top, because of this video.

[@madisonfoster8470]

26:22 the reason why Princess Peach looks like this is because the characters are also a mix of street fighter characters, She’s dressed like Chun Li.

[@atomicaqua]

That makes so much sense as kart fighter did use a street fighter engine! That honestly went over my head, good spot!

[@CabinetsAndCupboards]

damn bro this is really well made for someone who sounds young, im impressed! im gonna pray this blows up.

[@CabinetsAndCupboards]

btw, mariana’s trench gave me pure chills.

[@markymark443]

"You can't think of a more traumatizing bad 4th place ending than Mario Kart 64" Mario Kart Super Circuit: "hold my mushroom"

[@atomicaqua]

That was definitely thought process

[@originalbestdadofgaming]

The ending of this video hits way too hard 😬

[@wickedlyoddella7391]

I can’t believe this hasn’t got more views!! Great job on the video. I’ve been watching a lot of Mario content lately and this was among my reccommended alongside Liam triforce and Silokhawk- could barely tell the difference!

[@atomicaqua]

Thank you so much, I am honoured to be on the same level as Liam Triforce and Silokhawk!

[@tylerocks]

Very impressed with the quality and effort put into this video, I enjoyed every minute of it and It was genuinely very engaging. I hope it gets the recognition it deserves, good job man, keep it up

[@atomicaqua]

I am extremely happy to hear that! I put so much time and effort in the video and I am really glad it shows! Thank you man, I have more ice bergs I want to make and I will make sure they are even better than this one.

[@skymixel]

truly underrated youtuber. You made such a cool deep dive. The only thing missing is the conclusion.

[@atomicaqua]

Thank you so much! That’s a good point I will look into adding a conclusion for my new iceberg I am working on :)

[@Sb129Gaming]

Awesome Vid! Good Info and Editing. Well done 👍

[@atomicaqua]

Thank you so much!

[@a1dax680]

I absolutely love this video! Keep it up :)

[@atomicaqua]

Thank you so much and I will do for my next iceberg :)

[@markymark443]

You can also see Mushroom City underneath Rainbow Road on MKDD

[@atomicaqua]

That’s so cool, I didn’t know that!

[@cosmicsunset2806]

I want to know who spent 50 mins on that screen to find the change in music… amazing video!!! please keep it up :)

[@atomicaqua]

I know it’s insane to find out! Thank you so much, I will do more of these in the future

[@HarryFilmsA]

Amazing video! Well done :)

[@atomicaqua]

Thank you so much :)

[@PhilipGamez]

This was very interesting thanks for the amazing insight! 😁😁😁

[@atomicaqua]

Thats great to hear! I am so glad it was interesting!

[@darknociousHCR]

bro you deserve so many more subscribers honestly the amount of work you put in this video is incredible! lots of people cant do what you have done you should be proud ❤ keep it up you will get places

[@atomicaqua]

Thank you so much your comment means so much to me! I will definitely keep it up and I strive to improve! I am definitely going to keep doing iceberg vídeos as well( I recently did a Mario and sonic at the Olympic Games one and I am currently working on a gaming anti piracy one) thank you again for the nice comment!

[@darknociousHCR]

you deserve it 💪💪💪

[@atomicaqua]

Thank you!

[@JonathonV]

14:45 FYI, feathers show up as an item in battle mode in Mario Kart Tour. 🙂

[@atomicaqua]

Thank you for pointing that out :)

[@JonathonV]

This is a great video, by the way! Lots of things I didn’t know! Well done.

[@atomicaqua]

Thank you so much! That’s my goal with this video(and future icebergs), to share obscure facts because it is fun to know I am spreading information and it’s fun to do!

[@cowycartoons]

The end kinda scared me. An outro would of been nice otherwise it’s a 10/10 video!

[@johnsmith-qw1ki]

Good video don’t stop!

[@atomicaqua]

Thank you i won’t! I am working on a new iceberg video

[@LavaCreeperPeople]

yes

[@cosmicsunset2806]

no

[@GmNdWtchr96]

Technically, the DK Jr. icon wasn't in the final game's files, but rather, a demo.

[@atomicaqua]

That’s a good point it was on the multi game demo disc, I should have clarified that

[@wingedbunny6211]

3:36 The shy guys weren't just in the DS files, they were actually the characters for multiplayer when players didn't have Mario Kart DS themselves!!

[@atomicaqua]

They were! I meant the colours were in the files I should have clarified better that red shy guy was used in download play just not other colours of shy guy

[@MDE128]

Imagine if Mario Kart Double Dash is a single rider game.

[@BASEDSAKRI]

I would say the most rare fact most ppl haven't heard - 2 official browser games advertising double dash. double dash!! racing challenge - game 2, and mario kart: double dash!! racing challenge - scene of the crime

[@MalosKalos]

I haven't finished the video yet but I did notice somethings. The feather also appears in Mario Kart Tour, but its only limited to its battle mode. The Bowser Shell DOES return after Double Dash!! as a special item in Mario Kart Tour(limited to Bowser, Bowser Jr., etc). Also the Petey Piranha image you used from Tour is fake, he is in the game but he doesn't have the Piranha Plant item(that item is currently not in the game), he has the Lucky 7. Mission Mode kinda returns in Mario Kart Tour aswell but they call them Bonus Challenges, I just kinda wanted to mention this, its not really important. This also isn't really important but Mario Kart Tour has Reverse versions of tracks that are probably similar to the Reverse Cup. If there are any other mistakes I will probably make some edits but besides that this video is very great!

[@atomicaqua]

Thank you so much for the corrections I honestly really appreciate it! I have had a couple give me corrections so when I make an Mario kart iceberg update video with more entries I will make sure these corrections are in it! Again thank you for pointing them out

[@MalosKalos]

@@atomicaqua I just finished the video and it was a fun watch! I didn't really see any other corrections to be made!

[@atomicaqua]

I am really glad you enjoyed and I appreciate the corrections!

[@BeardedBear22]

Loved the video! Quick tip, raise your mic volume a hair

[@atomicaqua]

Thank you for the tip! I will make sure I turn it up a bit :)

[@horsecowgaming7316]

10 out of 10 video!

[@atomicaqua]

Thank you so much!

[@Louigeevee]

Great video! On the wario speaking german part non german speakers tend to mistake *So ein Mist* for such crap due to googles translations issues, it actually directly translates to blast it :). Really good video nonetheless, keep it up!

[@Louigeevee]

I forgot to mention Mist on its own means Damn, i guess its because there isnt really a direct translation from english to german for crap so it takes whats closest from Americanised English

[@atomicaqua]

That’s awesome to know thank you! I found so many translations saying different things but I went with such crap as it occurred the most on the websites I used. Blast it sounds cool tho!

[@Louigeevee]

@@atomicaqua Anytime! Your video was full of information I never knew about mario kart in general, really informative :D Loved every second, keep it up and youll have thousands of subscribers in no time

[@atomicaqua]

@@Louigeevee I am so glad you were able to learn more things about Mario kart! It’s one of those game series I just want to find everything about! I am really happy that you enjoyed as is my main priority when making these videos! I will definitely keep it up :), I am planning more iceberg videos(I am in the research stage as I like to make my own, it’s more fun that way imo ) and I am gonna do my shorts content in between. My goal is to hit 1000 subs by the end of the year so I am going to work hard to achieve that goal :)

[@Louigeevee]

@@atomicaqua Im sure youll hit that goal! If you need any help researching for an iceberg im always down to help. The quality is very good!

[@fawxu]

only 19k views is crazy, this was a great video

[@atomicaqua]

Thank you so much :)

[@awildcommenter7240]

It’s a huge shame Professor Egadd didn’t make the cut

[@atomicaqua]

I agree he would have been so fun to play as

[@Mariogamer369]

And of course kamek and petey is finally become playable in mario kart 8 deluxe as the part of booster course pass

[@Gemtacbotgameing3]

They need dat MONEY!!!

[@KoopaTroopa1]

Koopa Troopa player? Based

[@PlaysRoblox36]

10:58 well.. we now know that Kamek is in MK8D now

[@aaadhira1006]

At 13:52 when you mentioned Luigi's A rank mansion being Canon, it is simply debunked. If you played through Luigi's Mansion 2 (or Dark Moon in NA) the open scene of Luigi asleep on the sofa watching TV shows him in the D-Rank mansion from the first game. That has been confirmed that it was the Canon rank, not to mention the A rank mansion on the track is just a nod to the franchise as a whole, not to be Canon to the Luigi's Mansion franchise.

[@atomicaqua]

Thank you for the correction, Luigi got a pretty good mansion in dark moon then! I think he deserves the A rank mansion tho

[@dannytheocto2556]

15:20 The Bowser Shell is in Tour, and is the special item for the Bowsers and Jrs.

[@atomicaqua]

Thank you for the correction! Sometimes I forget tour exists lol

[@alexthemtaandr211weatherfa2]

Do you mean all Koopa kids including browser jr

[@atomicaqua]

@@alexthemtaandr211weatherfa2 according to the Mario kart tour wiki only Bowser, Bowser jr and dry Bowser use it, none of the koopalings. I hope that helps :)

[@phyllojoe5346]

This iceberg video is great! The song that plays at the start of each layer is wayyyy too loud for your voice

[@indulgent_pooch]

Based fellow Koopa troopa enjoyer

[@atomicaqua]

Thank you! I am glad there are more koopa troopa supporters as well! He is so fun to play as in Mario kart

listen this has been up for 11 months, and you didnt fix that audio issue yet at just under 5:00 i dont know what else to say.

[@larrygriffin4343]

this is very good. good job. this video is pretty well edited. but i do have one critisizm. PLEASE NORMALIZE YOUR AUDIO. your voice is kinda quiet so i have to turn my volume up all the way to hear you coherently. so than, when we move down the iceberg, the music that plays just about blows out my speakers. (that is exaggeration, but you can get my point.) other than that, this is a pretty good video. keep it up!

[@larrygriffin4343]

i don't think this anymore. either you updated the audio or i was just sensitive in hearing at the time. if the former, thanks, and if the latter, sorry, and your vid was great.

[@fireembliam9090]

2:20 You forgot about Donkey Kong Country Returns.

[@atomicaqua]

Thank you for pointing that out :)

[@celloj3703]

I lowkey miss MK8’s fire hopping. I thought it was pretty cool, and everyone was capable of doing it, since I don’t think it was kart exclusive

[@EpixClodz]

Are you a girl or are you just really young? Or both?
