Mario Kart 8 Deluxe video challenge similar to How Many Courses Can You Drift Infinitely On In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe or How Many Courses Can You Do Backwards.

3:20 i get it i think !! isnt that the totk patent for staying still relative to a moving platform or something? ^^' lmao

[@Jopes]

You're right! I'm actually astounded that you got that within an hour of the release

[@avasam06]

I may have seen it in a Monster Maze video

[@LandonEmma]

???

[@haroeneissa790]

How is Nintendo able to patent something that has been done hundreds of times? This was really common in those low budget licensed ps2 games.

[@gentleman_muk]

@@haroeneissa790they probably only patented one way to do it.

Auto Acceleration + Smart Steering: "Imma end this mans whole career"

Deadass I didn't think of this either

[@PixelShiftss]

Oh yeahhhhh, but that would defeat the purpose of the video lol

[@icantthinkofanything798]

That’d be a fun one, I wonder if every single track can be completed with no controller input that way or there are some impossible ones

[@Stuff69._.]

Yooo Cam what’s up

[@RHVGamer]

If there's one type of niche I love on KZbin, it's oddly specific challenge videos on games

[@Stuff69._.]

Real

[@Dark_Side_Productions]

Yesss

[@sologamer-jv4if]

Challenge videos on games which just completely play around the challenge itself resulting in no remarkable findings

[@pjshurm]

this has gotta be one of the most underrated channels on yt currently

[@Stuff69._.]

[@michael4numbers]

Really good stuff! I realized your videos haven't appeared on my timeline for quite a while, and then low and behold, one finally appears again and wow! Your voice sure changed since last time I watched your channel haha.

[@marioman118]

Dude I just rewatched one of your old videos and damn, puberty finally caught up!

[@danielcao606]

Exactly the same impression haha

[@IMainLuigiInSmashBros]

Your production quality increases tenfold with every video, it's incredible! You're such a joy to tune into, keep being you and keep telling me weird stuff about these games I like

[@PixelShiftss]

Always answering the questions I never knew I needed the answer too, I love it.

[@twhylerm]

3:39 thats not toads turnpike lmao

[@ClutterCyborg81]

😅

[@mariaandreinaaranareggeti9239]

That’s what I’m saying

[@thegreatautismo224]

You should try a similar challenge but with only the left control stick allowed. There seem to be a few spots where just steering while moving will help you keep hitting boost panels or similar objects, although I don't know if any of that will actually beat out Kalimari Desert

[@manfredi19]

def one of the jopes moments of all times

[@feltcute_mightdelete]

Great video! I've been watching for a while and it's so crazy to hear how you've matured in you voice

[@kyleturner3350]

I have loved watching your challenge grow over time. Always stellar stuff

[@poketopa1234]

What an insane video, huge respect for actually pulling some of these off. 加油！

[@odinfeidje-baug7467]

I could never have thought of this idea. It's so cool to see challenges that I've never seen before.

This vid is literally soo good! Well done!

[@evanrosman9226]

Your voice sure has changed since your early videos.

[@thehotdogking7734]

Great job with these vids, they’re all really good and entertaining ideas.

[@HollowLeif]

I know you've heard this a lot at this point but your content quality is absurdly good, and I was really surprised to see how young you were when you started considering the quality of your vids. I love this type of content too btw, underrated channel

[@itscornstarch]

MAAAAAAAAAAD respect for having a combo you play that isnt just whatever the meta is

[@TrulyMarcy]

i love your channel dude, keep going

[@idontneedachannelthanksyou7292]

Great video! I love Mario Kart. I’m subbed

[@JukeCubed]

You never cease to impressed me with these ideas

[@uiinpui]

Jopes makes the most random videos possible Amazing

[@skitsadoodle5194]

Underrated channel, give this guy a sub

[@NatetheNerdy]

I love how analytical these videos are, its just math and logic to answer questions like this or what cart combo is best for certain situations. It actually reminds me of early Game Theory. So I'm looking forward to when this channel claims that Elephant Daisy was the first supermutant in Fallout.

[@thespeedyyoshi]

WHEN THE HECK DID THIS GUY’S VOICE GET SO LOW WHOAAA

[@ludwigdudeiscool]

Great vid once again Jopes!

[@JSoldierPro]

Very creative idea and nice video!😁

[@JRS06]

If only the Kalimari Desert train would let you go around the entire loop of track.

[@Beartastic_]

For the shyguy falls one, if you hit a booster panel towards the end, it could push you far enough to hit the glider ramp

[@Omii_3000]

please tell me what the units are bro lol

[@elisharich8008]

Jopes video drops and you know it's gunna be a banger

[@pitioti]

In two years, your content got such a glow up !

[@CookingKoopa]

Cool idea!

[@WorldLoveGaming]

3:40 ah yes, Toad's Turnpike, one of the best courses in Wave 1

[@CrimpyPlate]

I will never use this information for myself, yet I still watched the entire thing

[@ianlangdale4212]

Sick video! I feel like it could have been cooler with more narrativisation, like if you made landing the trick on calamari desert more of a climax and gave the viewer the knowledge that it was in fact the longest at a similar time, that would have been more exciting

[@theopoldthegamer4284]

If you sit on the turntable at the water park you can spin forever

[@0ptx]

pov you are jopes and are be jopes

[@Bran-68]

smart steering + auto accelerate: ima end this mans whole career

[@RedpilI]

my first thought for this challenge is falling straight down in lap 2 of 3ds rainbow road, but im not sure if youre counting vertical distance

[@AbruptAvalanche]

MK8 came out before TotK, so the technology for staying on top of cars simply didn’t exist yet.

[@The1Immortal]

Useful

[@Hypersoni00]

Underrated!

[@Jelly_shy_guy_man]

Yes it’s amazing day because jopes uploaded 😃

[@vincere2060]

Man cooked a banger

[@ivanpalomo1586]

I really like this scientific videos

[@TheManOfManyNames.]

Ain’t no way he called Shroom Ridge by the wrong name 💀 3:39 It’s still understandable. Shroom Ridge is basically just the annoying little brother of Toad’s Turnpike.

[@icicle_ai]

Something I would like you to try is how far you can go without using any acceleration (you can turn left or right but no acceleration of your occord, no snaking either

[@veryblocky]

I like the video, but I think you should’ve gone into detail about measuring the distance to make it longer

[@Harlan-cc1gi]

I am subed with notification and hope you can hit 100k I believe that you can make it

[@xraenon1664]

Wouldn’t the glider at the end of Mount Wario give you more distance? The boost panels just before it might be close enough together to string them together. Also, half pipe ramps might be something else to consider.

[@thesunkenlocker]

Bro I love this guy but if only he streamed more.

[@cosinehd1608]

i dont play mario kart, but these videos are always entertaining.

[@boaldM]

fun fact: 9/10 gamblers quit before they win big (dont give up)

[@simsus]

drink coins bring them

[@trissevier6729]

I think this video would be even better if you presented more of a story - maybe work up from shorter paths to longer ones, give the distance of each path as you go, and then discuss the laborious testing of the train path last, so we get to come with you on your journey to find the best track. just a suggestion, your content is already great!

[@Jopes]

Thanks for the feedback! I'm trying out different methods of storytelling/explaining so this is really helpful.

[@rainbowkirby7726]

Well technically, you could count the distance made with lakitu on Mount Wario since your kart is still moving and you didn't touch the controller (i don't think it changes the results tho)

[@RanUlfran]

Could we see the whole clip of the kalamari desert run? I'm curious about the lap change partway through

[@knownas2017]

3:20 Actually having wheels on this would make you 'slide' backwards a bit, if you're not using breaks. Try putting a ball on an object and then moving said object. The ball will appear to move backwards relative to the surface of the object it's on.

[@knownas2017]

I know we're all thinking about the obvious, "What if you had another player try to push you to the end?"

[@Swiftjar]

This cured my sadness

[@Tharronis]

During your explanation you said you would use a 3d model to find equivalent length places in the track. If you have a 3d model of the track you can just make measurements using whatever modeling program you use, no?

[@sorak185]

One minute in and you've completely undermined the title of the video. That might be a record!

[@shaunduggan8605]

Feel like cutting the quantifying is missing a huge section of what makes this content good

[@Jopes]

could you elaborate a bit on this? I'm not totally sure what you mean

Question for you, how do you get the track models?

[@guacamolen]

Just imagine if you had Joycon drift throughout. That'll handle those corners.

[@6yr3mc]

0:30 absolute distance does exist in this game

[@JustJulyo]

Thanks for reminding me to turn off my auto acceleration

[@Supergamer_J]

You can drive a lap backwards and the red path Will apeer

[@JustsomeKid93]

I doubt it would change the results by much but I’m curious if a heavier combo would be able to get pushed for longer by a car since it would take longer to get slid off the side or if it could maybe get enough speed to make the jump on mount wario

[@kiramini22]

7:18 cool graphic! what are the units?

[@germanjetlag]

Imagine if Jopes hadn't been recording

[@mariaandreinaaranareggeti9239]

3:40 ERM Actually this is Shroom Ridge

[@daneamann6225]

Do the cars in Berlin Byway carry you any noteworthy distance? Genuine question.

[@andreworders7305]

0:21 the cars don’t spin you out in the DLC

[@gaker19sc]

1. Turn on auto acceleration 2. Turn on smart steering 3. Profit

[@user-gu6rf3fg4b]

Wouldn't chaining a bullet bill into a cannon glider, either at the cut on sweet sweet canyon or at the line on dk mountain be further than this?

[@xenasBS]

Tip: if Im geeky enough to watch a video like this, I want to see each succesful attempt without cuts from start to finish. Sped up is acceptable but rn it feels like you glossed over the best part 😅

[@Irsu85]

Just so you know, I am not subscribed to your channel and this is like the fourth one I see from you

[@CathodeRayKobold]

What about the longest distance you can go, allowing accelerating but not steering?

[@neuplop]

Like another comment said, how many maps can be done without touching a button if you have auto acceleration and smart steering?

[@Vondrool]

I honestly love watching this channel grow. It's great listening to his voice over because there's a clear difference, not just the pitch of his voice but he has genuinely just got better at voice overs!! His content never fails to impress
