Friendly reminder that if you dislike playing Yoshi, you can use Peach, Daisy, Birdo or Peachette for the same stats

[@fusionwing4208]

this makes me always question why is all the best builds using yoshi XD, I like yoshi myself, but I just don't get why yoshi is the go to character

[@zwicker5585]

@@fusionwing4208I’m guessing the reasons are for the colour variation and a proportion of men who feel weird about using a _girl_ character

[@lucomc32607]

There are people who dislike playing mankind’s greatest creation?

[@zwicker5585]

Also a reminder that you dont need to use a meta combo at all. Alot of other variations are plenty good enough to win races!!

I use Peach in the Cat car because it's adorable AF. How does Yoshi even see over his nose?

[@Shortcat321]

[@weaksentry788]

I’ve been watching your videos for a a while now and I think this is my favorite one so far. I always enjoy how willing you are to experiment with different strategies and how you’re explain your thought process during a race (and teach others at the same time) What really makes this video stand out is how much fun you clearly have watching your practice pay off, how willing you are to absorb information, and how much success you achieve through great strategy / execution or putting yourself in a position to use any luck that comes your way. Keep enjoying this wonderful game~ 😌

[@PaulMenden5659]

Can we get an "Every Shortcuts on Mute City"? Especially that shroomless one at 22:18, I never get the timing right.

[@Shortcat321]

Absolutely! I already have a video on that, but i plan to make an updated version because i know the shortcut mechanics better now Until then my tip is to watch where i hopped relative to the line, and stay close to the right (like youre gonna hit the wall). Get the blue mini turbo a decent amount of time before hopping, like 0.3 seconds early

[@PaulMenden5659]

Oh my bad, didn't know there was one already. I'll have to try that, I think I'm always way too far left, too.

[@arya_moghadam]

OMG, I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone dodge a shock with both of the items in the power up slots. First a Star and then with a Bullet 🤯 Wow, that Mushroom Gorge race was wild!! Congrats on the first!! 😆

[@Shortcat321]

Being bad at star gap jump = double ⚡ ⚡ dodge But best double shock dodge was with Bowser Master cycle, with both shock dodges being because I was bad: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/goOvdYaIlNiMnLc

Good matches! Quite a lot of lucky and close calls! I've never seen someone actively frontrun Cheese Land before. so that was pretty amazing!

i think mr scooty is slightly better online cuz of the smaller hitbox but i prefer the biddy buggy on time trials cuz it’s easier to collect coins with the bigger hitbox :) great video as always

[@Shortcat321]

Same here! But there are some mr scooty world records, usually when the track has walls that you want to avoid by being smaller.
