My Nitpicks About Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

[@Odyssey_Central]

Ok so I literally just remembered another nitpick, I think it'd be cool if the game told you your time after finishing a race like it did in past games. Definitely would've included this one in the video if I remembered

[@cpt_bobby]

time trials

[@mackeralface]

This is the quintessential nitpick for this game. Hilarious it wasn’t included in the video lol

[@the.damnmemexican]

Eh that's true

[@nileprimewastaken]

yes, multiplayer time trials would be cool (no items setting, no cpus)

[@jmhoog1301]

Oh yeah I completely agree with this, sometimes I feel like I won or lost with a .01 seconde difference but I can't see it

[@yottabyte6146]

Pro tip: Don't make the blue shell the only item...

[@sam4gaming135]

Although I really hope they add an option of "Normal Chances" and "Equal Chances" so If you have say, blue shells and bananas, you can select equal chances to get 50/50 on each item, rather than it basically being Bananas only

I hate how red shells follow you through flying areas in the game, and it’s almost impossible to make a turn around a wall and have it break like in mkwii

Right! Like, you should get a break from a red shell if you go through a cannon or a massive ramp. Red shells in this game are so aggressive about finding their target.

8:30 In the recent Nintendo Direct when they previewed tracks we actually saw that one of the new tracks is getting anti gravity in a similar way to the base game (aka one part of the track is anti-grav in a spot that makes sense and you switch while racing) so anti-gravity is seemingly going to be better utilized with future tracks

[@IcyDiamond]

I wish they gave you the option to remove some items from the rotation, the Blue Shell gets particularly annoying at times

[@Liggliluff]

And if not, add "No spiny shells", "No coins" and "No spiny shells or coins" as options, and while at it, fix "Mushrooms only" and add "Mushrooms and coins only" as an option.

[@DuckJohnn]

My nitpicks: - You can't return back to the characters, settings or tracks on the Versus mode. You have to go all the way back to the menus to select those. - Characters should flash after hitting the items. There are some invincibility frames after hits and it looks so stupid if the item hits soon after and it doesn't do anything.

[@Liggliluff]

(1:20) Since -most- all tracks are identical, I think there should be an option for mirror mode on time trial, but the times count towards the same normal track. -For the few tracks that are actually different in mirror mode, the should have a separate time for that mode.-

[@JustaArne]

[@zozim211]

Surprised no one mentioned versus races max course count not being upped to account for the dlc. This is one i rlly hope gets fixed by the time the dlc is finished bc it'll suck if i cant play a 96 course session with every track once the dlc pass is complete

[@kendallmonge649]

Only thing I can assume is that they don't want to be responsible for someone completing 96 courses in one sitting, which would probably take around 5-6 hours (and the undocked Switch battery wouldn't be able to last that long, even starting at 100%). It would still be a great option, though, especially after the final wave of DLC comes out.

[@doraemon402]

Maybe they do it for your own health. Don't play 96 races in a row, that's insane.

[@Liggliluff]

Mario Kart 8 was originally locked to 32 races, even with the additional DLC. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe increased this to 48 when the DLC was included. But now with all the extra DLC, they still aren't increasing the max number for each releaes (56, 64, 72, 80, 88, 96). Perhaps they can't bother making this number dynamic based on if you had the DLC or not; perhaps they didn't add 48 to Mario Kart 8 originally because they couldn't bother checking if you had all DLC. So if they ever made a Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Plus release, with all 96 tracks included, then you will likely be able to choose 96.

[@Jayquinator-X]

My biggest nitpick is that whenever anything hits you, you lose the same amount of coins. This just doesn’t feel right to me. A banana spinning you Out is three, and so is a giant, nigh-unstoppable shell of destruction.

[@autismandgaming4532]

A personal nitpick of mine is How the Triple banana doesn't form a trail behind you driver, and instead circles them like a triple shell would. When it worked the old way, it made it one of the best defensive items in the series in my opinion, and now it's not nearly as useful.

[@CentralLocation4442]

You can just... throw a banana down before a red shell hits you.

[@callmeobsequious]

10:26 This is so funny to me bc the current SNES Rainbow Road 200cc WR does this too on the first lap but it's WAY more egregious and it's actually kinda funny

[@dynosgarcia7645]

What I really dislike about the item system is that you can get super passive items at times, I usually play with my brother and I can't tell you how many times we have been in situations like getting a banana in 3rd or a single green in 5th

[@AstaryuuGaming]

There is an option to prioritize more frantic items iirc, though it might only be in battle mode.

[@Liggliluff]

@@AstaryuuGaming No there is, but not exactly what people want.

[@ego-lay_atman-bay]

Many of these nitpicks were fixed in wave 3 and 4 of the dlc. You can now choose which items you want, you now keep gliding when getting shocked, birdo was added, with another 5 chracters being added (given you do need to buy the dlc to use them...), and I think more.

[@doraemon402]

I've always thought that character variations such as cat Peach should be variations (like with Yoshi's and Shy Guy's colors), not independent characters. That was the model in Mario Sports Mix and it seems more reasonable than having two Marios racing against each other.

[@thedaver8]

one PET PEEVE: with all the babies in the game (some with no presence in the Mario franchise), why no BABY YOSHI?! It would be great to see baby yoshi from SMW make an appearance.

[@ParmaIndigo]

12:06 Their wish has been granted

[@Mech3001]

The item disabling thing would probably be a problem to implement, as the way the item roulette works requires them to already have separate formulas for every preset.

[@Liggliluff]

Funny thing is that they allow custom items now, so either they just made a general item roulette calculation, or it was always possible to customise and they just didn't made a menu option for it until now.

[@butterknife4621]

The way I see it, a game like mario kart or smash should have unlockable characters but also have a simple code on the main menu and title screen that would temporarily unlock all content until you close the game.

[@dustymcwari4468]

Tbf, Toad Circuit is one of the better beginner courses, they tend to be (understandably) pretty bland, but at least this one has a bit more going on compared to the average And the Booster Pass is a full second set of courses, they don’t care if the vanilla game already has a specific theme or gimmicks (like beanstalk or traffic), they only care about what’s in the Booster Pass itself, so they probably wanted a beginner course of its own, and Toad Circuit has been in Tour since launch, so they probably went with that one because it was a very easy port

[@cofagrigusfan24]

Interesting video! I agree with a lot of the nitpicks you provided. I have three to add, though: 1. Race mode doesn't show the race time. It's useful for comparing your time to other racers', so seeing it gone is withholding information. 2. At the end of a Time Trial, you only see your time, even if it's not better than the local best. You have to see what the best time is before the race starts. Interestingly, this was in the Wii U, but not Switch. 3. The minimap's color was turned to gray between Wii U and Switch, even for Rainbow Road. I really liked the flair the colorful map provided.

13:20 still taking up a slot is the reason they needed to have 2 slots in 8dx since regular mk8 has basically no strategy with only 1 slot like it was. having 2 slots rather than items just not taking up a slot anymore when you hold/use it leads to being too op, especially when combined with distance based items you can get a golden and a bullet in 2nd from a single item set. I think having 1 item slot, holding stuff behind you/circling around you (for triples) removes the item from the slot, combined with your idea of being able to ditch goldens and plants immediately, would be the best system.

The ability to swap items in your slots was one thing I wanted since the BEGINNING!!! This would make the game SO MUCH BETTER! Use something like the D-pad, or the X button to swap your item order. When you have a coin in the first slot and a banana in the second and you need to defend, press a button to use the banana first and THEN the coin.

My nitpicks: Character Roster No Birdo Despite References Coin Item😐 Booster Course Pass Is In Tour Too Random Speed Online 2P Online This Game’s Version of Rainbow Road Mii Helmets Lack of Peach’s Castle In Royal Raceway I Want Unlockable Characters Lightning Shock In Glider Yoshi Circuit’s Shortcut Is Missing What’s The Difference Between Normal and Frantic Items? P.S. my ranking for Battle Modes is: 5: Coin Runners (😐) 4: Shine Theif (Fine, I guess) 3: Renagade Roundup (Pretty Cool) 2: Balloon Battle (Iconic) 1: Bob-Omb Blast (Very Epic!)

About the lack of antigravity a lot of people mention it, but what about the lack of underwater sections? We have no new underwater sections since the first DLC to come out in the Wii U

[@alienpoptart5025]

One of my biggest nitpicks is when me and my brother play online multiplayer we cant vote on separate tracks. Me and my brother have very different tastes on tracks we like and its very annoying that we have to choose the same one. Most of the time we do rock paper scissors to decide the track.

[@Terra_Volted]

To anyone wondering why forgetting to turn off steer assist Most Shortcuts require you to drive off the track, but because steer assist keeps you from driving off the main track the mechanic actually prevents you from using said shortcuts

[@heart_of_chrome]

I wish you had the option to choose the CPU characters you race against. It's constantly three Koopalings, two Peaches, two villagers etc.

[@davosmando]

Yes! I’ve been wanting that for so long, I’m tired of so many koopalings
