I can't wait to speedrun this video

[@StargamerStarBro]

They should set up a 8 Player VS match consisting of all 32 tracks and 8 MK DS Speedrunners for AGDQ 2019

[@cadenrcr]

Star The Foxi doubt they’d be able to put that together that quick

[@byrne1807]

This is AGDQ 2019

[@gdlegionofbaum3161]

Star The Foxi And they should do that for wii if possible

[@Greenalink]

I did submit that idea for AGDQ 2015 but that got rejected. You would need at least 8 DS capture devices for 8-player and players would have to deal with possible wireless play lag too.

[@jruler93]

Star the Foxi Bit late for that. Maybe at SGDQ 2019 or AGDQ 2020. [RS] LegionOfBaum31 Mario Kart Wii (and the Wii in general) only has four way local multiplayer, and all of the Wii's online multiplayer servers have been down for some time now.

[@JDizzle_98]

Since ROB is a playable character, this game would be perfect for a TAS Bot game

[@mari-du7wl]

Yee

[@Matthew.PixelFusion9527]

😂lol you got a point tho

[@SkyVlu]

There it goes. My childhood. My broken R key.

[@mkdasher]

thanks for showing this game to the world Keverage! :D

[@WackoMcGoose]

I like how he called out the change in the Red Shell AI. In DS onward, Red Shells will attempt to hit you from the side, _specifically_ if you have a Held Item behind you. Additionally, in Double Dash, a Red Shell would retarget the next player in line if it missed (not that it matters when you're in 1st), but DS Red Shells are out for one specific racer's blood, and they will get it.

[@akionlizard]

Actually, funny story. I was playing MKDS one time and I think I was on wario stadium...I don't remember I just remember the the place I accidentally slowed down at. So what happened was that a red shell was after me and I'm just like "fuck I'm gonna be last" and so I dropped off the ramp and the red shell went over me and I was just like "wut" and then I got first. DS red shells are smart from time to time, but mostly dumb.

[@jacobruiz97]

Sometimes it helps to quickly turn towards the side that the red shell is aiming for just before it hits you, so then it can hit the item you’re holding, or you can turn really sharply against the red shell’s trajectory (but I personally find that move to be very risky and doesn’t always work).

[@adcgdsin9320]

Not sure about Mario Kart Wii red shells (can break easily) though they can hit you on the side. But for MK7 and MK8 red shells, yeah. They are our for blood.

[@Kleavers]

Damn I can't believe they never remade Waluigi Pinball for Mario Kart Wii or 8.

[@Deimos0VI]

Kleavers It’s in 7 I’m pretty sure

[@Deimos0VI]

Conveniently in the other handheld Mario Kart game

[@mightykingwario]

prob because they remade it in mario kart 7

[@MrBe3anLovesMKW]

They did in MK7

[@Poempedoempoex]

They did it for 7

[@Aceriex]

the last Mario Kart game to have mini turbos performed by just turning left and right while drifting.

[@tenrei4678]

And to have lives in balloon battle rather than just respawning.

[@claytons4690]

How do the new games do it

[@getsomebud]

RIP old style mini turbos, you will be missed.

[@Romir01x]

@@claytons4690 hold the stick in the direction of the turn and w a i t

[@tannerbrodt8419]

The CPU racers during this run are probably thinking “We’re never inviting ROB again”

[@chuckjones7218]

This poor dude, how do you even practice this without developing carpal tunnel

[@ghoul5286]

Now I'm scared you said that because I don't want carpal tunnel and ive been speedrunning this with my friends for a year now.....

[@lorentzdriver4048]

Arthiritis therapy

[@pilkmaster]

For me my thumb just started to grow stronger and more use to the movement over time.

[@Romir01x]

Have you played Mario & Luigi Partners in time and tried to master the fireflower?

[@pheenic]

god this brings me back to middle/high school where there was only one person on the bus who had the game so me and like... 3-5 other kids raced each other through download play. good times.

[@funkybassman6012]

Pheenic Who was your favorite Shy Guy to play? Mine was the black one

[@MegAmi24]

He just casually dropped his opinion of Mario Sunshine in there lmao

[@nickinfamous3343]

my favorite Mario kart of all time You can drift all the way to the finish line that’s what makes it so special Hope this guy’s left thumb is still good after the showcase

[@goldflowergamer3139]

I was like “HECK YEAH MAN” when he said “This is what Delfino Plaza looks like in a good video game.”

[@ITALIANN1NJA1]

Thank you guys so much for uploading these so timely. I love watching them during my down time in the day ❤️.

[@Zaecute]

I remember grinding a long time to get 3 stars on every course just to look good online. Everyone played online versus like this, was such a fun game to play against others back in the day.

[@Dublin.655]

Played this game so much when I was a kid. I remember accidentally discovering blue shell dodge. It felt amazing. Crazy to see the runner pull it off so easily.

[@NikaHarper]

Robbie's little victory dance is the best part.

[@piplup10203854]

I do remember playing this and dodging blue shells and I got to say that is one of the best feelings ever! You felt like a complete badass when you did it successfully.

[@TheLetsPlayBaseballCurse]

11:55 Is the best line I’ve heard from a GDQ. Amazing

[@IIxIxIv]

Great run of one of my childhood games.

[@Veralos]

Aw, I though it was going to be the mission mode. It would be cool to see a speedrun of that.

[@vitormelomedeiros]

What a superb run, Keverage is such a charismatic runner! I'm looking forward to seeing more runs by him in the future.

[@warj.3577]

Interesting run! The runner's commentary is pretty informative.

[@queendasher4482]

S N A K I N G

[@thomasunitt2934]

Casual speed running fan here but this is a damn good run. Informative and funny. Well done all

[@TheUKNutter]

Took him 15 minutes to answer the question about the karts 😂

[@StryderEz]

Imagine going vs him, holy crap

[@user_i9]

The memories of snaking. Love it. Got a gold star next to my tag for online.

[@alocervancouver]

The banter is super awesome.

[@TheVirginMeri]

When did calling Sunshine bad become a meme?

[@five_6_seven_8]

Termi I thought it was a weird dig at mkwii

[@Deimos0VI]

Hit or miss, I guess the blue shells never hit, huh?

[@Succer]

You got a mini turbo I bet it always saves ya!

[@ΣυνέσιοςΠαρτσάφας]

I am in a comfortable position to say that if i start playing mario kart again in a ds console for 20 days 6 hours per day, i will be able to stand at a similar level to this. 5 of the first days will have to be spent perfecting power boost and evading blue shell at a decent rate (ive done this, but never reached a good consistency) And yes, yoshi egg1 is the best overall for a speedrun like this I agree to all tactics and thing said. However i got a question: which kart parameter affects off road inside the proper course limits (road, sea, dirtroad)? I know as a fact that handling allows you to keep drifting while in dirt-grass. Toads kart and robs kart have the minimum handling required. As well as that an high acceleration lowers speed and drifting speed loss from dirt and grass found next to the course line. This speedrun reminds me my childhood, when i quickly found out snaking as my last resort countermeasure to defeat nintendo ghost time trials.

[@gallant292]

Really nice commentary on this amazing run, good job to the runner & couch!! Love AGDQ

[@stamatis4699]

Ah Mario Kart DS I have never felt so much nostalgia

[@captainmexico4585]

I miss this game with a passion. Great one from the good old days

[@notspoileratall5471]

Run: starts R.O.B.: *furiously dabbing*

[@CrasherX2000]

MKDS is my first Mario Kart game I’m glad to see this game finally be in agdq

[@husky217]

Great run Kmacc! I didn't recognize the new name, but guessed that was you. I remember that Kmacc hill clear supreme haha, it was really smooth.

[@Keverage]

Thanks Husky! You'll be proud to know that my first time trials PRs since coming back were on Rainbow Road.

[@MKDS_bakerskate]

Husky217!!!!!

[@worldsboss]

Let's go, YKB! Always nice to hear her as host, a fine job as usual.

[@CrossfacePanda]

Yes! MKDS! My begging over the last couple GDQs payed off! :P

[@NotNite]

0:00 bottom left of cam is MEE

[@sensator]

I used to play time trials ages ago, I got top 10 on figure 8 at one stage. By the end of one stage my thumb was on fire, I can't fathom snaking every map back to back.

[@randomchickrobin]

Excited to finally see MKDS at GDQ!

[@psycl0ne1]

Run actually starts around 1:13:00

[@nayuki-rn]

I was JUST looking for a GDQ MKDS, and was surprised to not find one. Bless!!

[@MMW1299]

the cast, the speedrunner, the game, the gameplay and the commentary was very entertaining. good job on that one :)

[@Phychologik]

Rob be dabbin’ all over this game XD

[@SMG2fanatic]

Don’t know what he’s talking about, banana/shell shields work pretty well, especially when you’re drifting

[@NinjaMamut]

4:30 in this track i remember you could use the rainbow ramp as a mushroom activator for super snake by miniboosting on the edge of it, it allows you to ignore the water and get a perfect curve. Im not familiar with mkds speedrunning, is this still used or forgotten? I remember this from at least 10 years ago so this might be wrong

[@heatherirwin1333]

So, funny story, one time i somehow managed to get a blue shell in first place, and I wanted to see what happened. You can guess what happened.

[@triple7marc]

I was playing MKDS along with this guy and we finished at the exact same time!! Only different is I gave myself a 2 cup head start 😂

[@crowheartwarrior]

22:50 Machine Passage reference? In THIS run? It's more likely than you think.

[@vidicate3963]

After all the times they said "hate to see it" I laughed at 57:30 "glad to see it"

[@mrsprks908]

Bloody thrilled for this one!

[@Hbombyeyyey]

What nobody gonna mention the GOAT @ 1:13:06

[@napostrophen]

I loved playing this game

[@Mizticall]

'you hate to see it happen!!'

[@thatoneteengamer4829]

The best Mario Kart ever made and I stand by that claim

[@dreamcastsoup8338]

Nope Mario kart wii

[@qxlf]

Babby park is one of my favorite tracks

[@Gold_Yoshi]

I would love to see a *Battle Mode* speedrun!

[@septimus5202]

9:29 Yeeeeeeeeeees!

[@SakanaKogane]

God I love this game

[@enderdavid_hdde348]

21:54 *OH JEAR... THE BEST MARIO KART TRACK OF ALL TIME* 😁😉🤣

[@gsteele711]

This is hands down the best commentary I've ever heard, I put this on at work and these guys sound like they don't give a fuck ahahaha

[@TheGuyWhoIsSitting]

He didn't show his kart emblem off.

[@gabrielpoyol754]

i love this game :D

[@SurgingSpecs]

I remember someone commented on other mario kart agdq runs wanting to see this. Well, you got your wish!

[@lemmesmash5524]

Dude is REALLY interested in what all the puddles do.

[@DeSaxofoonVanPeter]

It's so weird to see this game in 60fps. Great run

[@stevenragsdale6962]

I would love someone to speed run the challenges in this game! Anyways, great run!

[@Desbro02]

so much nostalgia!!!

[@Cipher_Nine]

I wish this was on steam

[@stdgrabbag]

on the desert hill course you could probably make a better course time if you were to hold back for just a second at the start and grab a box when you are about in 6th or 7th place and odds are you will got 3 mushrooms, and could use one on each lap to jump the hills there on the S turns towards the end of the lap. if you can do that all 3 laps (hope that lightening doesnt get you) it should make a pretty good difference.

[@isabelledavis2981]

Let’s go Keverage you can beat all the Mario characters

[@NightKnight1996]

Baby Mario and Luigi World is a great map on Double Dash as you get the driver unique items, picking Double babies and getting Chain Chomps flying across the map was so much fun.

[@fightme5543]

How the hell does he mini turbo so quickly?!?!

[@nekrovulpes]

Weight of the kart affects how fast you can do it IIRC. Back in the day everyone was Dry Bones in the online mode because of this.

[@marioguy234]

you need start the drift and then time a left right left or right left right depending on which way you drift and the mini turbo will appear if you do it right (from my experience)

[@SirWrexes]

So. Will we ever get to know what the sign on his kart says ?

[@smonkponk]

Totally get why he doesn't like the baby mario course. As a track it incredibly basic - but as a Mario Kart track it can be pretty fun because all the racers are always really close together, so it's like a big violent derby with items going off everywhere and people ramming into each other. It's just becomes a mess and I kinda love it (and it lasts a lot longer if you're playing on GC where it has more laps, I think :P). That said, this was an awesome and very entertaining run!~ ♥

[@Sonic62920]

9:28 That was a declaration of war right there!

[@SoshiTheYoshi]

"This is what Delfino Plaza looks like in a good video game." At least Sunshine didn’t rely on that terrible snaking technique

[@Scrawn0]

Dude was really good natured, despite the few trip ups and rng

[@okami3271]

What thumb position is this man using on the dpad? Holy moly

[@freddy007____9]

You guys made fun of Waluigi at the beginning but at the end of the day Waluigi got the last laugh by stealing your items lol

[@eskilsundelid6240]

Btw that cheap cheap beach time is very good first try even in you HAVE a mushroom. Legend

[@bobfish1290]

how are you able to play courses in one race

[@bigrockerending7711]

ROB is not dabbing! He's not dabbing! No, instead he's doing his own take on the arm pumping from Super Metroid

[@pluslotl1388]

BigRockerEnding no, he’s flossing

[@chanelbandit]

Cool guy.

[@Treeninja01]

Monty Mole or Rocky Wrench?

[@auderotter]

my thumbs weep for him

[@triple7marc]

30:47 Some guy in the audience didn’t realize that he meant to do that 😂

[@TennisGvy]

@4:40 Cheep Cheep Beach is the best course in the game

[@esf1934]

My main ❤❤❤❤

[@donovand1238]

do people speed run the missions in MKDS?

[@hoodiesticks]

Okay, I can understand why speedrunners wouldn't like Baby Park, but when you're casually playing with friends, Baby Park is HYPE!

[@Royal_Keith]

Gotta agree. Mario Kart 8 for the switch, 200 cc, it is CHAOS. Absolute chaos. And I love it.

[@thelegendofelliott8459]

You could power slide on the cogs in tick tick clock

[@congobongoproductions5476]

*B A M !* *Shell Dodge!*

[@dreamcastsoup8338]

SHOCK

[@leorickt.9604]

The only problem with snaking is that the DS d-pad is terrible and becomes loose

[@robotwars666]

what was on the front of the egg car some kind of sticker or what?

[@Slain087]

MKDS allowed the players to create their own emblems to put on the front of their karts (the practice was discontinued because players kept drawing dicks on their emblems).

[@tenrei4678]

Yeah, you have an emblem you can design and it'll be on whichever kart you choose for mkds.

[@TheGaming100]

OMG, I WAS ACTUALLY IN THE LIVESTREAM FOR ONCE
