Explaining ALL The Different Road Types In | Mario Kart Wii

[@RabbidTheNabbit]

"funky kong doesnt give any offroad bonuses" he actually gives +3, but great video apart from that!

[@ziwei3070]

secret no character has a +1 bonus

[@Arcintel]

LOL You are absolutely correct.

[@brennensnyder9236]

Is that test track on CTGP?

[@officerwizz]

SaltyPretzel no, if it was on ctgp then it would be in worldwides which would make no sense, it’s probably an add on custom track you can download separately.

[@brennensnyder9236]

Icylapras thanks

[@luicailou5528]

Funky gives a +3 in Offroad. Also, other example of heavy offroad is the flowers on Peach Gardens. Great video though. :)

[@fatgoldfish6320]

He also gives like +4 speed right?

[@nonononononono2022]

Datone Dude yeah obviously but his point is that Arc was wrong when he said funky doesn’t have an off road bonus

[@Ozwmandeas]

Dry bowser gives 4+ on offroad but i forgot how much ( the point is that is a good ofroad stat)

[@savagejack5714]

@@Ozwmandeas does dry bowser also give like +8 mini turbo? So would that make him the best character to use if your a karter

[@benfried7100]

Savage Jack depends on the track, but often yes. Normally, dry bowser is better than funky for flame flyer, especially for tracks with a lot of snaking like rDS. However, for tracks with a lot of boost panels and not a lot of snaking, funky is faster, like Rainbow Road.

[@Mullkaw]

3:56 EDIT: by reading comments, I remembered that Delfino Square mud cut has heavy offroad, Peach Gardens flowers are heavy off road, and DKJP has heavy off road inside the last corner. Also, I think it's worth talking about the tide off road that Peach Beach has. It appears to change based on how deep in the water you are, but idk also, the Toad's Factory mud and the Waluigi Stadium mud (not to be confused with the Waluigi Stadium off road) are in fact normal off road!

[@ziwei3070]

from what it seems like, mud is generally considered heavy offroad

[@officerwizz]

Ziwei the waluigi stadium mud is normal off-road I’m pretty sure and the grumble volcano off road might be considered mud by some people and it is light off road

[@ziwei3070]

Icylapras key word is generally. And I wouldn't really consider GV mud to be mud

[@ramennoodle9918]

Ziwei does GV even have mud?

[@ziwei3070]

Weird’s Alt account I wouldn't call it mud

[@Mullkaw]

3:19 Funky has an offroad bonus of +3 so funky flame has 24 off road. This is why in 200cc, Funky and Dry Bowser can drift off road in the Flame Runner, but no other large characters can!

[@luciowins9946]

Is there somewhere online where all these values are displayed?

[@Mullkaw]

@@luciowins9946 Yes, mariowiki has them

[@cyanopsittaspixii7391]

Most heavyweights actually do give an offroad bonus, the only ones that don't are DK, Bowser, Rosalina and the heavy Mii. Wario, Waluigi and King Boo can drift in the offroad at 200cc too

[@jessew1359]

5:53 There's a hole there? My whole life has been a lie!😯

[@DSX1]

The hole is cake

[@Finnelhumano2006]

It always have been...

[@iaxacs3801]

Learned that years ago after getting knocked aside by a bullet bill onto the very end of that bit

[@Ly..]

Yeah cuz then you'd have a bunch of item boxes there

[@aaronmallamad5797]

Using an XYZ speedometer you can find your speed in the TF conveyors and KC/rYF waterslides.

[@soup3467]

Epico vid but let’s be honest you have to FEEL the road

[@mariocamspam72]

Damnn

[@isaacbrink2571]

This guy is underrated. I think he deserves more subscribers.

[@Kierio04]

He has nearly 9K. That means he hasn’t been underrated but yeah he deserves lots

[@TomMKW]

0:07 water, snow, mud, gravel. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Gravel Nation attacked.

[@curiouslamp2841]

Now I get what people mean when they say that Sherbet Land is an off-road track. I never knew there were different types of road, I just assumed some courses were slipperier than others. Great vid as always, keep it up

[@yangmingmeng5414]

Last turn DK Jungle Parkway also has Heavy Offroad

[@krystal3750]

7:25 this looks so cool

[@sneakyturtle5425]

4:16 sad coconut noises

[@mkw9999vr]

That custom track with all of the different road types is AMAZING

[@SpeedDemonPowerage98]

mkw9999vr that would be test track.

[@Tock46]

KC gives a range of 20 - 45 units/frame in the pipe and between 15 - 40 units/frame outside the cave. The Speedometer does not show you the speed in KM/h but in ingame units per frame btw.

[@LaserTrapProductions]

This is a really neat video, I didn't know I wanted this one! About the heavy offroad (which gets abused in CTs, ugh) the only place I was aware was heavy on RTs was the middle of the cave turn on rDKJP. I never actually know about DKS or BC having offroad that heavy.

[@ynghst]

Bro the dedication you put into these videos is unreal, you have to be one of the best MKW KZbinrs out there. Maybe even up there like troy.

[@evanshanley8110]

He puts in WAY more dedication than Troy.

[@Mullkaw]

Comparing him and Troy is like apples to oranges. They play the same game, but they do not make similar content. I'm really glad we have both though

[@Redvania]

It's a great time when Arcintel uploads when i am eating lunch

[@EpicBub]

YEP

[@lfc_szn4274]

AGREED

[@aaronmallamad5797]

The hedge offroad on rPG is heavy offroad btw

[@Wiiyamoto]

5:52 wow I never knew there was a hole there

[@sportedits464]

This channel has made me so good at the game there is not a shortcut or skill I. Can’t do thanks to arc. 😀😁🙂😊🤗

[@jds2]

@ArcIntel the speed of the river in KC actually isn't constant, it is defined by series of points in the kmp, each with an associated speed. Looking at the kmp, Nintendo used values from 1 up to 100

[@ziwei3070]

Are the delfino square's shortcut, peach gardens offroad, and mud heavy offroad too? Anyways, neat video, and keep up the good work

[@Mullkaw]

Yes, but do note that the Toad's Factory mud is just normal off road

[@theblooper9631]

Doesn't Waluigi Stadium use both levels of offroad, normal for dirt and heavy for mud?

[@suola-sirotin]

@@theblooper9631 yes as far as I'm aware

[@ziwei3070]

Arvo K yup, they're all sorts of mud. Didn't know about the SGB one though

[@Mullkaw]

@@theblooper9631 no, Waluigi Stadium has both dirt and mud, but they are both normal off road

[@SMM0_0]

Your so helpful you deserve more subs

[@Alex-fx5ro]

There is one more heavy offroad in the ds double cut. :) Good vid

[@RoGamer97]

There is a bug in MKW that if you use a star before the cannon, leaving the cannon will make the offroad normal, even if you have a star, so, if you go to DKJP, use a star before the cannon and then go to offroad while having a star, you'll still slow down

[@crippledjoe982]

Hitler?

[@La-Machina]

3:48 there is the mud cut in Delfino Square, but idk if that counts since it’s a retro

[@miakiikazu]

this was in my recommended and i never knew there were different types but i love this content (i knew normal and off road was slower thats it)

[@drewsterling113]

so glad I started getting interested in this game recently rather than a year ago.

[@bamba641]

Can you do a video where you explain certain scenarios that happen frequently and what the best option is

[@willosteen8913]

Preach brotha/sistah

[@StepBaum]

This video is so well made. Great visuals to enhance what you say, a well explained video and a very nice voice to listen to. You earned a sub!

[@SirGoldalot]

6:24 @ArcIntel you know enough about real racing to know that changing that setting does not change your *transmission* to automatic...

[@floyd0118]

Awesome Video Arc, Please make a video explaining Wall Clips. 🙃

[@ruenw]

this is the first time i know there's a hole in TF at 5:52

[@birdieboy02]

very informative video. thank you, ArcIntel

[@dunyacaliskan7495]

Funky Kong has a +3 offroad bonus.

[@dunyacaliskan7495]

lol the other comments pointing this same exact thing out each have far more likes even though I said it first (unless the comments just didn't appear immediately, but still, they all say 9 hours ago just like mine).

[@dannyboots]

Prove it

[@StayClear4321]

A slippery surface you missed out is the slightly muddy party near the end of peach gardens

[@ev.an_]

I’m not a genius at this kind of stuff but aren’t the garden beds in peach gardens heavy off-road? I’m not sure, but they seem like it because they cause a major speed loss when driving through them.

[@SlanderMonkey]

Thanks for the vid! Amazing creation of the track, and clear explanations. V cool comparisons on TF! #1

[@birdieboy02]

maybe ctgp will get a custom track that incorporates all the terrain types somehow

[@savagejack5714]

It would probably be weird because you would need some sort of ice or sand for slippery off road, along with all 3 off roads. I think it would be possible but it would be hard to make thg he course play and look good

[@kjp-sy8uf]

@@savagejack5714 it would probably end up being a Dreamworld cloudway type thing where you transition between different environments, then it would make sense

[@Silent-fire1308]

I love the pencil scribble at the intro

[@sonicboy451]

Funky Kong has +3 Off road, but it's negligible since most of the heavy vehicles don't have an off road stat to speak of.

[@tirodeesquina6458]

I already new this but I still watched the video lol

[@JadeiteMcSwag]

Very cool

[@flandersOH]

Isn’t there also sticky road on the drawbridge at the beginning of BCWii? Great video though

[@scr5bz]

Your channel is underrated

[@soaringstars314]

6:12 maybe im not understanding it fully but I don't think mushrooms have instant acceleration either unless you mean star having a slower acceleration

[@Nidhryl]

I don't quite understand though: how exactly does the "slippery road" effect you? It seems like it maintains momentum in the direction you were going (basically being slippery), but in the video it was said that there's less traction, implying that turns can't be taken as tightly in general. I also noticed that if you release an SSMT on rSL while turning, you get shot off in the direction you were turning too, supporting my hypothesis of it being calculated through momentum. I wonder if the game views it as a "physical" change in the road, or if contact with it influences the stats of your combo in some way, or if it's something else entirely.

[@roy_mezz-awake2470]

The damn downward section on WGM... It haunts me to this day...

[@Juliantjennn]

I believe Toad’s Factory also has heavy offroad!

[@PaulSmith-nw3ho]

Jungle parkway also has a heavy off-road section at the very last turn

[@grimer1746]

So what type of these is the grass on DK Mountain? It feels like just normal road to me at least

[@savagejack5714]

I think it's normal but it could also be slippery idk

[@J0shibo]

nice vid arc

[@ewoly5]

nice! melting magma melee ftw

[@Magnus_Inno]

Hi arc, fajamkw here watching your stream at the moment

[@chyimvanmeter1917]

Heavy offroad is on peach gardens, the DSDS shortcut, and the other two he said. Great video though!

[@PresidentNathan]

hyped for tomorrow's video

[@theodavelaar]

More info about all the different collisions that exist in the game can be found here: wiki.tockdom.com/wiki/KCL_Flag In fact, there's actually a way to have sticky heavy off road or sticky 'anything' by simply putting the same geometry as sticky road, but 2 units below your 'anything' collision. It's more like a CT Creators Tips but that one trick that nintendo never used but is still really interesting to know

[@alexstrigle5599]

there’s actually a 4th type of off-road you never mentioned, it’s called DK Mountain

[@SilverMK]

kc's water stream actually gets stronger the further you are along the river

[@literallyafrog367]

I knew I wasn't insane when I thought DKJP was a little slippery.

[@zykerMC]

The standard speedometer does not display conveyor and water speeds accurately. To accurately see that, you would need an xyz speedometer to calculate your speed based on coordinates.

[@Kisreal2401]

The reason that the mushroom doesn't add to conveyor speed is probably because mushrooms don't really add to your speed, but instead they put your speed at a set value for a certain amount of time. I may be wrong about this though, as this is just a hunch and I'm not too familiar with MKWii

[@iamhenryspencer]

rPG also has heavy offroad in the flower patches arc

[@kogmawmain8872]

Weak offroad doesn't let you drift for free. You actually need an Offroad Stat of atleast 18 (or maybe 17, but no character vehicle Combination has that value so I could not test it) to drift on it, meaning if you pick Jetsetter with a character that doesn't add offroad, you cannot drift on it.

[@triple7marc]

4:14 What about the escalators in Coconut Mall?

[@winksopro6916]

Yesssss arc

Thank u soo much for all ur tutorials u have helped me become a better player Oh and u helped me beat my brother😂

[@fxde4710]

Flower patches in rPG are also heavy off-road

[@ciarandowling]

Can you do a side-by-side comparison of things like speed and off-road. (Like Funky Kong on one side of the screen and another heavy on the other side?)

[@TheOscarGamer_]

Where can I download the test map? I started using My Stuff so I would like to try the folder with maps instead of songs...

[@TheG_SMO]

Isn't there a very small section of dirt in the delfino Square shortcut that counts as heavy offroad?

[@Electy]

Epic

[@adriantrans-amgta5981]

I never even noticed the sliperryness.

[@richardsonrichly8456]

The beginning sounded like an F1 channel video

[@Procrastinge]

I would love a video on best courses for flame runner vs mach bike. The funky kongs are wrecking me but I prefer playing daisy mach. (Or I just suck)

[@eduardoxenofonte4004]

I know funky kong has a big disadvantage in DK jungle parkway

[@Austin101123]

Is the middle mud on the ds delfino square not heavy offroad? Or flower cut on ds peach gardens?

[@DaynNight1234]

Wait so we can make Mario Kart 8 courses using sticky road? I never thought about that, has any custom track used that in a mk8 track recreation?

[@adamcooper5021]

Delfino Square shortcut heavy off-road??

[@Kierio04]

Adding to campbellmop’s comment: Shy guy beach doesn’t have weak offroad - acceleration/deceleration do NOT stack - speed stacks but only to the limit of 120. It is important to note that speed is not additive but multiplicative. i.e. all driveable collision in the game has a speed multiplier (normal road being 1x). Please see this document for more information: docs.google.com/document/d/169oKDSzZqMHRARHWnIgJxwA9Tnuu1xggSpQJGEXyuUg/pub

[@Mullkaw]

Well that doc didn't help, what the hell kind of off road does rSGB have anyway?
