I like watching these competitive videos more and more! It’s so cool to have a continuous story/contest/challenge tying all the races together, kinda like that time when you tried getting all 12 placements in 12 races!

[@benji37]

yea and the team thing makes it more interesting

I'm happy you enjoy them! They are fun, but I also enjoy worldwides where I can goof around and not worry about performing well. There will definitely be both!

​@@Shortcat321 I know the video didn't do too well in regards to clicks, but I also really enjoyed the Tick-Tock Clock practice video. I think it's really cool to see how impactful and tangible training sessions can be (even for really good players).

What I love about this channel is the love of coins. I always stand by the fact that coins are so useful, the speed bonus of having 10 coins is too good to pass up. I used to be so good at grabbing as many coins as possible back in the early days of Mario Kart 8, before we knew a fraction of what we know now.

[@carovaggioo]

Shortcat, I have a question why is the teddy buggy the meta if the cat cruiser has the same stats but with more invincibility?

[@dianas.4674]

Good question

[@NormalMariokarter]

Cat cruiser is just too big and invincibility isn’t too important

[@BreakofDawn]

It has a bigger hit box than teddy buggy

[@Shortcat321]

One reason is that people like the way Yoshi teddy feels. It is an ATV, and the cat cruiser is a kart. They drift slightly differently, and I'm not sure of the exact details but it has to do with the direction that each vehicle faces while drifting, which affects your alignment as you enter or exit a drift. Also the hitbox is smaller on teddy buggy. Besides competing for world record time trials, the difference is probably negligible (same for hitbox size and invincibility stat). People like the teddy buggy and that's it!

[@RemmyRoblox]

[@RobGaming2]

[@wolffe7770]

I have a video idea: "Can I win with the best combo from every mario kart game" where you'd play as like funky kong flame rider (funky kong flame runner obviously), dry bones landship (as close as we can get to dry bowser dry bomber in 8 deluxe), or yoshi pipe frame for n64, which appears to be yoshi's vehicle in the speedrun, so I don't know for sure if it's the best in the game, but I assume it is based on the speedrun using it. I think it would be a neat video, and hope you see this comment :)
