Reacting to EVERY 150cc World Record in Mario Kart Wii

[@NMeade]

Here we go! There has been so much activity this year and this was one of the most enjoyable years to look back on. As mentioned, we included a few alternative categories compared to years past and hopefully you enjoy watching through those as well. Congratulations to the entire playerbase for their accomplishments and continuing to grind towards their goals. I mentioned this during the commentary, but it has been incredible to see the average performance and skill level of the entire playerbase raise with this especially being reflected in the progression of the Worldwide Top 10s compared to previous years. I think the scene is in a very good spot and there is a lot of potential for 2025 to be a fantastic year overall. Good luck to everyone for their continued efforts! One note for the video: some of the input viewers may be slightly off sync for the beginning of the runs. The input viewer files generated were good but some of the time trial recordings themselves had some frame drops or doubled frames which would make it out of sync, but most of them are completely normal. Lastly, as you can see I included more detailed stats and extra details to make the viewing experience more engaged and enjoyable. To that end, there was a TON of text to manually write out on my end (creating individual Photoshop assets, typing every individual Worldwide Top 10 to be generated, etc). There's probably the rogue typo here and there but hopefully everything is accurate! I hope you enjoy this one. Community Info/Corrections: - There was a 1:48 fail corrected at the very end that was done by Barney which is on the MKW Fail Corrections YT channel. - RR IDB WR is by American player Ivan and not Spanish player Ivan! Spanish player Ivan was who I thought drove this who also does Kart TTs, and now goes by Fleza. - The overall RR combined bikes WR (separate from IDB WR charts which was in this video) is a 2:26.055 currently by Jerko. Will include for next year. Additional community info/corrections are always welcome and will be updated. Thank you! 🔔 Subscribe! ▷ bit.ly/2udIfG6

Crazy that it took 16 years for the playerbase to discover that hitting offroad and bonking into walls is faster. It happened in a world record so it must be true! :D (Edit: I swear that I didn't do that on purpose. It happens every once in a while when you have a wide line into the gap cut and that run just so happened to still be fast enough to 1:39 with that mistake. Currently working on 1:37!)

[@JamesPanoff]

Yooooo, FlamBam is here! You are him

[@JamesPanoff]

Also, gl on a:37

[@Johnnyvtg]

Sorry, but I've already gotten a sub one minute and 13763753091226345046315979581580902400000000 second run :/ In all seriousness, though, congrats on the wr and good luck on the 1:37 (I almost put an exclamation mark here which would have been ironic)

[@widevader9317]

Flambam is the goat

[@l3xi_con]

1:21:19 and now Connor has achieved the first 1:47 with two 35.8 laps probably less than 24 hours after you recorded the video. crazy stuff!!!!

[@AceRFirestone]

I would love to see a video of all flap world records. There are a lot of very cool flap-exclusive glitch strats to showcase and it would be cool to see your reaction. Thanks for making these every year. Always cool to see how the meta changes year after year. MG shooting star is diabolical.

[@117james]

now this would be sick

[@loocas3738]

Killing it with the longer videos recently, been missing this since the overall shift to short form content on KZbin. Great analysis as usual!

[@adamvlcko9788]

adding the BKS , the new categories and all the little text inputs really made this so fun to watch

[@117james]

Unfortunately I set my 2:16.653 right before the CTGP update and did not update right away which is why the ghost data isn’t on CTGP, however, it was on MKWRs though lol. Thank you for reacting regardless, I’m very thrilled to finally be a part of one of these videos!

[@NMeade]

Ahhh that makes more sense now! Thank you for clarifying. I tried using the direct DL on MKWRs as well, but once clicking it, it directs to the page showing 'this content is no longer available' so I unfortunately wasn't able to get that ghost data. Regardless very exciting to see your progress you've made so far! The sheer dedication you had for what you did for the DH fast lap too as incredible, I think you're due for more accomplishments in the game with that mentality you've built now. Good luck on your further goals!

[@117james]

@ I really appreciate it man, thank you for inspiring a lot of us newbies, and also I really appreciate you mentioning the rDH flap lol

[@117james]

@@NMeade also, There is currently a player known as idk_maniac that is currently going for rBC glitch WR. He is the current spear no-glitch bkt holder, and his goal is to implement the ending rail cut into WR runs, which is just absolutely insane, so definitely be on the look out for that! I would not be surprised at all if this category is down to a low 2:15 or high 2:14 by the time of the next WR reaction vid.

[@jamesmuraski1]

Life gets better when NMeade posts. Love the content!

[@ElectroTDS]

James spotted 😮

[@DrMd-jr3xt]

I really like the info about each run and the track in the bottom right. I think it would help a lot if the date the record was set was included in that box as well. That would help for some of these untouched records especially like Kasey’s LC for example

[@NMeade]

Thank you! Was thinking about including the date too but the side of the screen started getting really cluttered beyond what was included. I’ll think of a more clever way to include it for next year 👍🏻

[@ElectroTDS]

These reactions vids are so awesome!! All flap wrs next? 👀

[@AzulMKW]

Again another wonderful edition to your channel. Thanks Nmeade for your time and dedication. You are one awesome fella ❤

[@MitchMKW]

Pdf file alert ⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️

[@SMO_Boi]

It’s always so much fun to sit back and watch these. I’ve always been an online/lounge player and not so much with the TT scene, but it’s incredible the meta shifts, and everything here the mkwii time trials have to offer. Keep it up brotha!

[@C0D97]

Nuggets 2:20.031 is so heartbreaking. I remember he also hit a 2:20.069 a few hours prior. I hope he will push it again

[@snbjornPizza]

This is like our Christmas gift from Nmeade, These reaction videos are my favourite!

[@-kittn-]

Doing the path switch on Flamerunner is crazy

[@noahcheng1895]

6:25 from what i remember, the wr was only .073 or .074 from the bks sum. it’s absolutely insane edit: i said it was 72ms on alperens wr at the time

[@SuperComet101]

the mushroom gorge new world record blows my mind man

[@C0D97]

1:06:30 cool strat by Barney

[@khirek5335]

YOOOO Christmas came early, it's always such an event seeing you react to 150cc wrs!

[@gamingAmarioAstorm]

I’m a Mario kart 8 deluxe guy but recently I got retro rewind and now I’m learning about Mario kart wii love your videos NMeade

[@MrTVx99]

I already love the overlay. Big improvement every video

[@-kittn-]

Just finished watching the video great job Nmeade thanks for doing those videos every year

[@zachdamenti4387]

Videos like this make the content more generous and entertaining!

[@Peyton-v9b]

9:44 So there is kush in here 🔥

[@Yeesh405]

Haha

[@cappuccino_please]

So many long videos, I love it ! :)

[@Ivan-ql1is]

Thanks for including my IDB time on RR. Btw, best splits are a high .3 lap 1, and a low .4 lap 2, will get 2:25 hopefully. Also the other Ivan is the karter I can’t use a kart to save my life lol

[@NMeade]

It was really exciting to watch! I had no idea all of these strats were being implemented after all this time, really exciting to hear how fast the best splits are now to show the overall potential. Sorry for the mix up by the way! I hope you grind out other tracks, I am sure you can get some insane times on other tracks with the skillset you have on RR IDB

[@Ivan-ql1is]

@ Haha thanks! Flare actually was the one who found it and nobody had tried implementing it but the pacelock was killing runs on the track so I had to practice it on save-states until I could get it

[@LightOfEon]

Nick! I love this 150cc series and look forward to it every year and every upload. I think to follow the trend of showcasing past strategies and unofficial world records, you could have added the Shy Guy Beach Magikruiser. Maybe next time my fella! Thanks for the many many years of mind boggling content you've given to this game.

[@YesPlatinum]

We're back!! Early merry Christmas and New Year to everyone

[@VinTube2501]

Finally!!!! There it is, been waiting for this all year 😍

[@Flareonboii]

So MK7 World Record reaction is up next

[@yoshi_.__8017]

Great video as always. Really nice insights and definitely a step up with the new categories and the inclusion of bks' :)

[@awd03-v7v]

Thanks for all the effort you put into this channel man, we really appreciate you!

[@goldgamer8687]

bro’s popping off with these reaction videos

[@never1163]

awesome video man love those wr reactions the most and you put in so much work! also love the ne categories in this vid and the bks graphic

[@noah12361]

I look forward to this video every year. Thank you for your time and effort into compiling these records and giving us the story about each one.

[@-kittn-]

Yeah let's go i waited for this

[@noahcheng1895]

9:49 it was barney, check mkw fail corrections. barney has also been playing a bit this year. im pretty sure connor has also failed 1:48s when i remember his former bkps

[@never1163]

5:55 there should be improved: yes (March 26 of 2024)

[@Kiroh]

Very nice stats that u included. Gonna enjoy this video now

[@DrewX098]

I've been waiting for this for a while, and it definitely delivered

[@SICW1970]

56:10 actual bike bkt is a 2:26.0 not a .2. i think odb deserves recognition here as well

[@NMeade]

Will be included for next year.

[@noahctww]

Thank you Nick for the encouragement, I do really appreciate that. ❤ As you could imagine this category with 3/3 shroomless is very brain draining. I was playing it actively since February pretty much and after my last pb in August I’ve only been playing it very on and off. I’m up to around 15 3/3s now (can’t remember exact total). But when my motivation returns I will be heavily grinding it again in the next year. Thanks again ❤

[@franciscovcm3910]

Really like this new longer style of videos Also you really seem to like the word busted

[@MitchMKW]

Thanks for the video Nick, but please consider the time for future videos to accurately sync the input viewer with the run

[@TaraGrace56]

This was a lovely surprise wow, this year has been insane for tts well done and massive congratulations to everyone for they're hard work, dedication and commitment!! I did find it quite fascinating how rock hop didn't get classified as the ng category but it is slightly confusing, is there like a rule which restricts respawn based strats from being counted for ng then? Given how much of the track gets cut off I'd have assumed that even if it was through respawn if the rock hop itself gets counted then so would the respawn. Very interesting, and like alr said well done to everyone this year and thanks for the amazing video again Mr nmeade!!

[@sweatzera]

bro has been killing it with the content much love nmeade

[@kogmawmain8872]

58:40 are you sure that's the same Ivan? I know there's a very talented kart player formerly known as "Iván" that now goes by the name "Fleza" but I don't think they're the same player. It could also be that there's 2 good kart players with similar names, that could also be a thing ofc.

[@falcoaus]

thanks nick for the recognition. i can assure you, jobs not done 💪 see you next year

[@gi0134]

32:59 carlos getting italy in a top ten glitch category

[@cyber_197]

i agree with Firestone in that you should check out the flap WRs, or maybe some alt top records! btw, something i've missed from the monthly wr series is contacting the players for their input. i think more research on that end could provide some good insight

[@General12th]

Hi Nick! I love how a lap that's 0.2 seconds slower than the others can be considered "heavily unoptimized".

[@veggerhogger7466]

Nick is really delivering some gifts for this christmas season!

[@pepismaniguess]

Old saint nick

[@sarahspeedrun6419]

Hell yeah more TT content from nick!! Take a shot every time he says “busted”

[@bailey7657]

41:20 are you sure this is why? I was under the impression that it was because any driving done on a rock was considered a shortcut

[@aa9amer]

I happened to notice that on MG (glitch) The Lap 2 BKS says 5.686 but Bryce got a 5.658 (not trying to be nitpicky i rlly dont care)

[@lightfn]

This bald Logan guy seems pretty good

[@lefteragri6005]

Dang that mushroom gorge ng run was crazy was not expecting that

[@memeteam2692]

It’s also crazy that flambam keeps shaving time off despite making random 2-second errors

[@pablolagos5532]

YES, I was waiting for this years edition!

[@TGCBobo]

Everybody calls me the MK Wii dino cause of my age. BUT actually U R the real Dino cause you are active since 2008. Love your Videos bro. Thx for making my life for years now❤

[@trviis]

15:00 those splits are most likely 1-0-2

[@ElecTrick11037]

58:39 Actually no, the Ivan you're thinking of goes by Fleza now, and this Ivan is American, not Spanish. Both are amazing players though!

[@NMeade]

I actually didn’t know this! Thank you for clarifying.

[@ElecTrick11037]

⁠No problem, glad I could help! 👍

[@nitrobozo4464]

NIEA , this year was crazy

[@montyy3130]

Connor at it again! Not sure if you knew already but he just got the first 1 47 like a few days ago, what a player 🔥

[@HitchhikerCAFL38]

I kid you not, I was just looking up what BKS meant when he explained it and I laughed unnecessarily loudly

[@liammcgrath7051]

ive been looking forward to this one

[@Rukir]

It's so strange to see Cole not have the world record for Luigi Circuit anymore. There were a couple times where he didnt have it, but for the entirety of my time playing Wii, I saw Cole... since I was a kid even, all the way in 2010, lol

[@gpman6937]

cheers nick

[@CYLITM]

Great series

[@FlezaMK]

That Ivan with the Flame Runner BKT on Rainbow Road is actually not me hahaha, I exclusively play Kart only (for now at least) In fact, earlier this year I changed my nickname to Fleza

[@christopheredwards788]

Very nice Nicholas

[@MKWKezer]

What a legend!

[@nixisawesome]

It’s that time of the year again 🤩
