Mario Kart but only the SPOOKY levels

[@GregMcNeish]

The way you know these are real friends rather than friends for the camera is how thoroughly and joyfully they roast Dael from the first nanosecond of the video until the end.

[@KBTibbs]

As was prophesied, "This is not a forwards game. This is a treachery game."

[@barcodedm]

my actual experience/train of thought during the gold mine course - me: a mining level? is capitalism the spooky part? dael: the reason is now! BATS! me: oh dael: also capitalism me: AHH

[@MonarchsFactory]

< Me being scared of capitalism

[@mriepi]

"is capitalism the spooky part?" 😁 Yeah, I'm so glad, communist countries never had mines. 🤔 oh (no offense, 😆 it just made me think for a moment)

[@The_McRib]

Luigi won the haunted mansion in a competition that he never entered. He used the gold he got from that mansion to build another mansion that also turned out to be haunted. Yes this is the actual lore of Luigi's Mansion. This has been your regular Luigi-lore public service broadcast.

[@MonarchsFactory]

That's freaking hilarious, now I wanna play

15:43 Chiara's joy at coming fifth is too pure

[@shangc2781]

The editor did an amazing job keeping up with the chaos convo 👏

[@maxontrax3375]

Dael trying to justify these track choices really highlights how much time she spent narrowing down which tracks are ooky. Is there a spreadsheet? Was there an hours long voice call determining the order in which they'd be played? (I love you all deeply)

[@MonarchsFactory]

💕💕

[@MonarchsFactory]

(The answer is several pages of a notebook listing out every option and then narrowing down ✌️)

[@maxontrax3375]

@@MonarchsFactory I know your secret that the scariest track is Peach Gardens and I gotta know where it landed over all 🤣

14:46 My Bloody Valentine is decent horror movie set in a mine

[@eliazar_meru]

It's always scary when there's that much Red Bull in the room.

[@drperky17]

Lots of fun. Plus, Kit's Scooby Doo shirt is excellent.

[@Melithian]

Such a great video, I love the energy with everyone playing!

[@CountsDigGraves]

Famously a game of skill.

[@MonarchsFactory]

It should be in the Olympics, frankly

[@matthiashavrez]

DANIEL ! It's been so long ! I para-socially really missed Daniel, I'm so happy he's in this video. It makes fond memories of Wolfgang come back to me :)

[@richardguyton7555]

Yea!! Wolfgang is one of my favorite series of all time, great to see Daniel and Dael together. Got so excited when they howled at the start of Moonview Highway

[@sincewhen]

Even after all these years, the second I saw Daniel my brain went “wolf boi :3”

[@Dansalright]

Helllooo

[@deviousdelibird]

I was afraid. . . . . .of Dael's driving skills! 🤣

[@MonarchsFactory]

AYOOOO!!

[@shangc2781]

6:59 this is the saddest, most despondent response ever to be associated with mariocart😂

[@TheNerdySimulation]

Not sure when exactly Dael's reasoning for these track selections were more for her than the friends and audience, but it definitely started before recording.

[@TheADHDM]

Boo Lake would be scary even without ghosts. Something about that track just doesn't compute with my brain, I fumble the bag every lap

[@MonarchsFactory]

The sad thing is, it's one of my better tracks and I still couldn't beat Dan 😭

[@lj53004]

Hol' up. At 3:04 are 3 fucking Red Bulls? I don't think I've ever seen an entire group of people _just_ drinking Red Bull before, haha

[@ClutchSituation]

If you were wondering if Dael is competitive in any way...

[@MonarchsFactory]

Competitive? Moi? 😆

[@ryleywheelock602]

This made me realize that Ghost Valley 2, the quintessential spooky track for me, isn't in Mario Kart 8.

[@MonarchsFactory]

YES! I also wish Wario's Shipyard was there :(((

[@ryleywheelock602]

@@MonarchsFactory Oh my gosh! Yes!

[@cultsofkelsafar7647]

I know its not what this video is about, but can I just say Kit's tattoos are fantastic and I am very jealous

[@Ellanion]

Very good spoopy content

[@hive_indicator318]

Nice to see you getting to have wild parties now that you moved out. Stay you, Dael. You rock

[@MonarchsFactory]

Gotta break in a new place with a little house-warming mario kart 🥰

[@Inuruk]

It took me an embarrassing amount of time to realize that this video was about the racetracks and not music tracks.

[@MonarchsFactory]

😂 I should probably change the title to "courses" or something

[@Inuruk]

@@MonarchsFactory the thing is, I don't know if I could tell the difference between any of the music tracks anyway, I just fully wasn't using my brain 😂

This is what happens when you let a couple of werewolves play video games.

Ok, I recognize the dude from prior appearances plus the wolf show; but I don't recall either of the 2 ladies showing up here before?

[@MonarchsFactory]

Chiara's been in a couple of videos from the ancient "before dnd" times, but I believe this was Kit's first proper appearance (they might have been in an old uni vlog? Who can say)

[@Myzelfa]

It's cute how hard Dael is trying to explain the track choices. "Now this is podracing!" Does anyone remember the podracing game that came out for Episode 1? I think it was a PS1 or PS2 game. I wonder how it holds up.

[@MonarchsFactory]

I *loved* that game, but I no idea what it was actually called - my brother and I rented so many random star wars games from the local video store in those days

[@Myzelfa]

@@MonarchsFactory Same, I played it nonstop for about two weeks and then returned it to Blockbuster

[@barcodedm]

@@Myzelfa Star Wars Episode I: Racer? I had it on the Dreamcast. there was a sequel called Star Wars Racer Revenge on PS2 that I never played

I had it on the N64!

My dentist's office had that game set up in their waiting room. I have never intentionally been earlier to an appointment in my life as I was back then.

are pirates halloweeny in australia? like, they're kinda macabre, if tangentially. idk
