I’ve learned that online play can be so frustrating but when you watch good players like shortcat get destroyed, it reminds you that it even happens to the best players, so no need to stress

Regarding the weight breakpoint thing, the Wiki has been updated since that Inkling Boy video, and now it actually explains what each parameter actually does, including the third one. I personally did some tests also with the help of other players and mods, so I updated the Wiki with the correct info. Apparently the third parameter is a big deal in this Mini-Turbo heavy meta because it determines the mass of your vehicle when you're in a boost (including Mini-Turbo boosts).

[@Shortcat321]

Amazing work! I wouldn't have known this without the help from you all so thank you!

[@ItsManu001]

@@Shortcat321 you're welcome. Recently I've been really putting effort to make clear some aspects of the game that are somewhat mysterious. Another thing that I discovered through testing is that actually the Blooper doesn't just make you slip, but it also reduces your top speed by 3%. For reference, the "slowest" type of slippery road (like the Ice on Sherbet Land) slows you down by 2.9% if you have minimum Traction. The slowdown from the Blooper also explains why in that short you did about the Blooper it seemed like Yoshi Teddy (medium Traction) was having its Traction "increased" by the Blooper. What actually happened is that the vehicle was actually slipping more (as much as it would with min Traction), but the increased slowdown was enough to make it turn sharper. The slowndown and slip from Blooper are fixed, no matter the surface and no matter the Traction, so the "Traction penalty" does NOT stack. Thanks Nintendo!

If you ever wanted to do another long form video, I would love to see if you were put in charge of creating Mario Kart 9, what would you change/add? Like in terms of how stats are handled and revealed, what characters you would add or remove, tract changes or additions, bagging change, bullet extensions and boo steals and more. Single player modes, battle mode, online net code and how lag works. Controls, how many items you can have and if you can switch between them. If coins are returning, what stats they increase. What new items you add. If the crazy 8 will stay or be replaced by [black] 9

Skipping to 2:09 after watching the Donut Plains 3 race because of my strict "No Atrocities" rule. 2:47 That's pretty much what happens to me when I try going for a double boost from this halfpipe. *BONK!* 3:46 Close Encounters of the Goomba Kind. 👀 4:16 Interesting lag mechanics, but you still got the win, so have some celebratory lyrics. 🎼 Run. In. The. Light. Oh my dio. 🎶 5:20 According to your own pro guide, Waluigi Stadium is a Shroomer whose best starting point is in the back. Probably because of the issues with coins and the mini turbo trick to begin the race. 7:21 Have confidence! No confidence! 9:24 Well... at least Catnip didn't get last. 15:35 Jerry sighting! Also, this is early enough in the RIW race that I don't need to retroactively add the start-of-race timestamp when adding celebratory lyrics for another Shortcat RIW masterclass. 🎼 Run it, no surprise. 🎶 18:24 Crazy Cool Short -Cut- Cat Incoming. 😼 That's gonna do it for my timestamps this time.
