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.

[@hydrogen-8]

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.

[@camgames]

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

[@oh_wall]

Deadass I didn't think of this either

[@PixelShiftss]

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

[@Jax_brix]

burger 🍔

[@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

[@marioman118]

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

[@danielcao606]

Exactly the same impression haha

[@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.

[@pjshurm]

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

[@Stuff69._.]

3:39 thats not toads turnpike lmao

[@ClutterCyborg81]

😅

[@mariaandreinaaranareggeti9239]

That’s what I’m saying

[@PixelShiftss]

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

[@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

[@manfredi19]

def one of the jopes moments of all times

[@kyleturner3350]

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

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@MagicHedgehog789-jc2wt]

This vid is literally soo good! Well done!

[@thehotdogking7734]

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

[@Super_ATI]

3:40 The second toads turnpike?

[@sobrienaasc6274]

Puberty has done crazy things to this man

[@idontneedachannelthanksyou7292]

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

[@TrulyMarcy]

i love your channel dude, keep going

[@Omii_3000]

please tell me what the units are bro lol

[@itscornstarch]

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

[@ludwigdudeiscool]

Great vid once again Jopes!

[@JSoldierPro]

Very creative idea and nice video!😁

[@JukeCubed]

You never cease to impressed me with these ideas

[@skitsadoodle5194]

Underrated channel, give this guy a sub

[@uiinpui]

Jopes makes the most random videos possible Amazing

[@evanrosman9226]

Your voice sure has changed since your early videos.

[@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

[@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

[@keilancarroll2459]

3:34 toads turnpike redesign be looking sick

[@WeirdBlox_]

another day, another wild jopes video 🔥

[@JRS06]

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

[@elisharich8008]

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

[@abbilocke736]

Great job!

[@aquawrld]

underrated MK channel 👊🏽

[@CrimpyPlate]

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

[@CookingKoopa]

Cool idea!

[@pitioti]

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

[@WorldLoveGaming]

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

[@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

[@Hypersoni00]

Underrated!

[@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

[@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

[@vincere2060]

Man cooked a banger

[@The1Immortal]

Useful

[@ivanpalomo1586]

I really like this scientific videos

[@Jelly_shy_guy_man]

Yes it’s amazing day because jopes uploaded 😃

[@Harlan-cc1gi]

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

[@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

[@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

[@RanUlfran]

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

[@theopoldthegamer4284]

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

[@AbruptAvalanche]

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

[@Nightshade-Aurora]

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

[@Swiftjar]

This cured my sadness

[@Bran-68]

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

[@Kakkemans]

Ive aleays been thinkin about this

[@daneamann6225]

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

[@zakkarcher]

We got pubescent Jopes before we got Mario Kart 9! Congrats bro!

[@cosinehd1608]

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

[@natel42069]

Wow this is a good video

[@veryblocky]

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

[@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.

[@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?

[@theme_greatest383]

3:40 ah yes, toads turnpike.

[@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)

[@TheUniqueImpact]

0:32 you say you can't just measure the distance but why not? if you have the 3d models then you can measure them using the coordinates right?

[@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.

[@0ptx]

pov you are jopes and are be jopes

[@Silly_Bingus]

good video

[@aidansmid2210]

You can beat toad turnpike without ever touching A. You do have to use mushrooms tho

[@sorak185]

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

[@thekinginyellow7029]

I will never play this game but I will always listen to people talk about it.

[@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?

[@SawBSketch]

why is the video footage so smooth 😭 it's clearly a crisp 60 fps, is everyone else just recording on lower?

[@neuplop]

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

[@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

[@shaunduggan8605]

@@Jopes you skipped the evaluation section and jumped straight to results

[@CathodeRayKobold]

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

[@guacamolen]

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

[@germanjetlag]

Imagine if Jopes hadn't been recording

[@Supergamer_J]

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

[@mrnoodlesthemaster]

Hehehe I got the joke, I love videos that explore random concepts. Experimenting with a game is just as fun as getting to play it

[@JustJulyo]

Thanks for reminding me to turn off my auto acceleration

[@4ndrito]

really underrated channel you feel like you have 1-10m subs but less than 100k? PEOPLE subsribe to this man.

[@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.

[@6yr3mc]

0:30 absolute distance does exist in this game

[@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?"

[@microsoftpowerpoint4731]

maybe different carts would help in some cases

[@andreworders7305]

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

[@mariaandreinaaranareggeti9239]

3:40 ERM Actually this is Shroom Ridge

[@calmelbourne]

The challenge is moving without touching the controller and no mention of auto accelerate or smart steering?

[@Irsu85]

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

[@gaker19sc]

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