The BEST Bagging Combo in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe!

Bagging got nerfed. Does the bagging strategy still work after the Wave 6 DLC update?*

Bagging: waiting near last place for good items (bullet bill, shock/lightning, star, golden mushroom, mushrooms) and using them to make a comeback. This lets you get to 10 coins and stay away from attack items, and you can potentially dodge the shock or do item smuggling.

that ending couldntve been more perfect XD

[@MainTopmastStaysail]

Challenge idea: Midrunning. Try to stay in the middle of the pack until Lap 3, and then take 1st. Don't frontrun and don't fully bag to get the best items, fight it out in the vortex at 4th-8th place the whole time.

[@Ht9ehtoom]

That would suck

[@indigoblue8600]

I like it

[@antonioaceves555]

I would never do that. But I would 100% watch that.

He wouldn't do that. He's a bagger, they're cheap so they can win with no fighting. He doesn't have the sack for that.

[@batterysnatcher]

When shortcat said there’s a lot of pressure when you don’t know when to use the shock, i relate to that so much. it’s so nerve racking when you don’t wanna dodge anyone or lose your shock!

Yeah and other people are going to judge you if you use it poorly HAHA

[@pnut3844able]

Then it's good that you don't play it, bc that's a cowardly tactic that only works with noobs.

[@kumamarru5492]

Hey Shortcat! Reporting back in to report that your videos have been extremely helpful for me. My first dip into online play has gone so much better than expected. I was even able to use your bagging tips to snag a cheesy first place win against 20-40k players in a regional lobby I lost every race after that, (it wasn't even close) but it felt good to pull it off that one time!

[@am_g07]

Thanks for making the start of the new year even better, Shortcat 🎉🎉

[@maildaemon]

This is really good. I've been having fun honing my bagging skills as well, just started playing again after a month or two break! Love the video and good luck in the new year Shortcat

[@arthurmerkel1615]

What keeps me at watching all the videos is that you are very good at commenting your gameplay, explaining every step of your race, by that you also guide the ones who don't know the game very well!

[@magiccookie3941]

Great end to the video! I dont play mario kart, and i havent owned a nintendo console in about ten years. But i do watch every of your videos, and i enjoy them a lot. Keep it up!

I love your videos Shortcat, watched since you started and always thought your content was great. I have a idea for you and that is that you can make shorts where you rate combos and give a explanation on what they are good at and bad at an give tips on how to improve them without just becoming teddybuggy rollers cloud glider.i have a combo being dk scooty monster tires and plane glider

[@fnrocraftlover697]

Great video awesome combo for bagging

[@loading.]

You're videos are great and entertaining 👍👍👍

[@DaShikuXI]

I will always maintain that frontrunning is just as "degenerate" as bagging, as they both serve the exact same purpose, which is not being in the pack. Frontrunning is 90% driving skill, bagging is 90% item management. Both of those are equally important in MK and are equally difficult to master.

[@UniqueNarwhaI]

Only thing stopping me from using wiggiler is lack of animation. Mostly seen when you get hit, and one of the ending animations seen on 14:36 , otherwise I’d be using the same combo shortcats using in this video because the purple liquid fits with wiggiler.

[@PaulMenden5659]

Until you just said it, I never realized you get bonus coins when starting from a bad position.

[@EvanM-ko8ym]

Shortcat, i thought about what you said with switching up the way you play and start bagging. I started playing Pauline/King Boo/Rosalina/Link on the teddy buggy and i was bagging on every track i played. My results became a whole lot better, of course it didnt always work out but the majority of races were always top 5

[@foufouf8877]

Happy new year Dylan

[@chrisg8989]

That ending man. Bravo! Hahaha!

[@Tyfts1]

Hey you prob won’t see this but I used to watch j perm and I found you here I watched you so much I can tell by ur voice glad ur doing something that u like more good luck with uour journey we support u

[@gusonian8637]

Shortcat, please do the biggest and smallest combos (especially swapping them out when on a YT collab!). That would be pretty fun

[@pY1_XV_lol]

Shortcat Mario circut(shell cup) and cheese land are very similar the both have a bullet extension at the same spot both have a item box right at the start similar layout and lots of shortcuts

[@orochimarusrebirth6509]

Darn, you almost had the last one in the bag, good races though ! i do understand the bagging nerf, but as medium skill player id do it to both fill my item slots and to hope for a good item in the process, so it kinda stinks at my level. I know you showed a clip of an entire lobby trying to do it some time ago so im not 100% against it just because of that lol well, theres always custom items if we only want stronger things now so thats another reason its ok =)

[@Scott.E.H]

I've been watching you for months, how have I only just today learned that different placement at the start gets you coins.

Could we get a track tier list based on how good of a front running or bagging track they are? Like on a scale

[@phanepacc5065]

Probably the best ending to a video I've ever seen

[@danteeastman4444]

I have just concluded that Peachette Roller cloud glider is the best combo because I tested her out multiple times, and she win every time

[@harleighUI]

Shortcat: "at least the fire didnt hit me" Bobom: "hello there-" *explodes*

[@omegahaxors3306]

I picked up old Mario Kart DS using what I learned about frontrunning vs comeback gameplay, played bowser and can confidently say that even in a game overrun by snaking front run meta, you can absolutely do comebacks if you're the fastest kart in the game. Really made me appreciate though how drifting is automatic now, because it just feels more juicy to charge up a MT around a big corner rather than get one for hitting ◀▶◀▶ with the right timing. Dropping because you got the weird timing wrong isn't great. One thing DS does get right though is the weight stat. You can absolutely SLAM dry bones if you're in a high-weight cart.

[@Legend-rv5hv]

Hi @Shortcat321 I was wondering if you use motion controls, the game frequently says you do but I can hear joystick noises in the background. Also, you have said you use a GameCube controller which doesn’t have motion controls (to my knowledge). If you do use motion controls, how do you soft drift? If not, how do you do motion Glider?

Is it fair to say that bagging is *riskier* now, since you can't rotate items as quickly?
