How good is MAX WEIGHT in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe?

Found a moment where having high weight helped you: At 14:45, your weight saved you from being bumped off the boost ramp.

[@Shortcat321]

Oh that's amazing! I didn't even realize. If i fell off the ramp, I would have to accelerate without the boost panel too!

[@Shortcat321]

I just found another one: 10:58 I bumped the white birdo so badly if you watch the mini map

[@chubby3726]

@@Shortcat321idea for next video. Mario kart but I wait 5 seconds at the start of each lap. This is different than the normal wait at the start because now, you have to be 5 seconds ahead each lap instead of catching up 30 seconds. Can get progressively longer too.

[@mamoon304]

11:40 I'm not really that familiar with mario kart, but I think the weight also helped here I think

[@memenazi7078]

@@mamoon304completely walled a speeding yoshi and knocks him behind himself

[@DaShikuXI]

I wish that the weight stat made you more or less resistant to projectiles. For example with a min weight stat a red shell would knock you out for 2 seconds, but with maxed weight it would only be 1 second. Something like that. It would give weight much more importance, and it could essentially function as the opposite of acceleration. acceleration gives you faster recovery, whereas weight would lower the downtime.

[@Brisingr26]

That would be cool and interesting. It would also add a lot more variety to the meta.

[@dudono1744]

Boo pipes from MKDD would be like "idc about getting hit"

[@Shortcat321]

Others have suggested a similar idea for the invincibility stat. I think it makes more sense there! I think weight could have other uses like differences in gliding, fall speed, and vehicle size (right now there are 3 vehicle "weight classes" that determine size, but it has nothing to do with the weight stat)

[@hiHiHiHiHiHiiiiiiiiiii]

@@Shortcat321 although the weight stat is shown not the invincibility stat tho?

[@Above_Avg]

Facts

[@SunshineRey]

7:54 this whole sequence is just brutal. He gets hit, mushrooms to recover and uses his star to perfectly time a shock dodge, which he chained to get a boo. The blue shell shows up behind him and he uses his boo in fourth so he had a 1/3 chance to steal first place’s super horn, which he managed to get. After that, he made a push for first place and won without getting hit by the line of bananas and the person in a star. Truly a Baby Park worthy moment.

[@selfloathinggameing]

You make a good point about stats being "clustered" like acceleration and weight always being opposite. Some of the old MK games had more interesting stat lines, I remember in DS Luigi had both high speed AND acceleration but low handling and weight, making it super unique to control.

[@JacobPDeIiNoNi]

Yeah I really wish they would do that sort of thing with the stuff in this game, with the part combining system it would make for so much build variety. There are only really two examples I can think of, those being the slims which are speed tires but also have high handling, and the splat buggy being relatively high speed but also low weight, but by and large it’s MT accel and handling grouped together, or speed and weight grouped together, which is a shame

[@walugusgrudenburg3068]

It's such a missed opportunity because it would be so well suited to the mix and match parts system!

[@arthilas_]

Also, weight had a lot more impact in MKDS - getting bumped by a heavy like Bowser or ROB could easily send you waaaay off the map.

I remember hearing that Dry Bones has good handling. Is that true?

[@Eden-kw1kw]

8:39 WHY DID THEY PUT A 1300 PLAYER IN *THAT* LOBBY 😭😭

[@conqueror181]

The thing with this combo is that you effectively have a classic muscle car. Fast in a straight line, weak around corners. To counter act this you need to drift earlier and not do anything fancy. These setups work in the low level because you can just use the speed to run away. The higher the lobby they fall off as players can use advanced techniques to compensate for lack of speed.

[@Waltezer]

-I don't want that track Wins -Oh ! I want this track Loses twice in a row

[@elementsofphysicalreality]

That blue shell on the last race was pretty good ngl. To stop on the end like that perfect timing.

[@YoshiAteTooManyYoshiCookies]

Actually, if you look at the minimap, you can see Luigi spinning out before getting by the blue shell and later you can see him driving through the blue's explosion because he had I-frames. I don't think this is entirely luck on the Luigi player's part though, because he never got chased by anything besides the blue shell in the cannon, meaning they probably saw like a banana or something lying around and ran into it for the I-frames.

[@reshawshid]

For those trying low handling builds, you will need to employ typical racing lines in order to make it around tighter corners. That is to say, when approaching a sharp right turn, make sure you are as far to the left as possible before the turn. Then, guide your kart to the right into almost hitting the inside corner of the turn, and after that, exit the turn on the far left. By doing this, you can soften the curve of a turn, therefore making it easier to maintain speed around otherwise tough corners. You can see Shortcat employing this on Baby Park. He starts on the left of each turn, goes near the right-side barrier halfway through, and pulls out to the left. This is typically not often useful in Mario Kart, but is critical in more intense racing games.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's thinking "Wider lines! Wider lines!" through this whole video 😂

[@reshawshid]

@@bubba7598 Honestly, Shortcat was the only thing that convinced me to go for something other than top speed, so I agree. My typical racing philosophy is, "If I fail, I want it to be because I screwed up, not because the car couldn't outrun other cars."
