DLC WAVE 5 UPDATE Gameplay, New Characters & Courses! | Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

[@Shortcat321]

What's your opinion on wave 5? And what's your favorite character/course in this wave?

[@footboot1936]

Favorite is Kamek. Love him in tour and it’s great that he’s in mk8d

[@aDumbass2]

Found a shortcut on sunset wilds kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnWWcpaKp7apfrs BTW hi

[@CommanderOfCologneYodshi]

Favorite character is Kamek for sure! And my favorite maps gotta be squeaky clean sprint!!

[@Mike-sp7zv]

Petey for the nostalgia. Hoping the next Mario kart game brings back the double dash mechanic. Also daisy cruiser it's just solid. Not the strongest course wave in my opinion. I would have said koopa cape but I don't like the changes you highlighted in the video. Koopa cape is still good, but feels slightly gutted like when daisy cruiser allowed you to go through the swimming pool in 7. The additions of the floating goombas makes up for it. Wish the floating characters were random each time.

[@depalodor]

characters are all awesome, quality of graphics is doodoo but gameplay-wise the tracks seem fun!

There's one more little alternate on Squeaky Clean Sprint! On the glider section at the lap change, you can bounce off the soap bottle instead of the sink and there's little section with a boost panel

[@alexaurorus9767]

Ah! There's another!! Same spot, but even higher up!

[@Sirbartholomew]

I love how shortcat is just like giving us a leisurely tour stopping to look at scenery but still getting 1st everytime

[@jiffbuzz1468]

So cool how Wiggler has a smaller kart for a heavy. Might just be the key to toppling the Yoshi Dino-sty once and for all

[@Shortcat321]

Yeah so for anyone reading this, wiggler shares waluigi's stats, BUT wiggler's vehicle has a smaller hitbox. So if they had not made any balance changes, wiggler wiggler would be the best combo right now!

[@Clouditivity]

[@Skailed]

squeaky clean sprint actually has 3 alternative paths at the end, if you go off the glider and then to the right you can A: trick off a receipt with 2 coins on it B: go a little more right and trick off a boost panel & a plant afterwards C: go even more right and very high to trick off a boost panel & boost mushroom

[@coopinatormusic6214]

A lot of changes to some of these courses, like Daisy Crusier and Koopa Cape, originated in their MK7 incarnations.

This wave is great, really pleased with the tracks, especially Daisy Cruiser, Also the characters are great! I

[@aaronaarons7029]

Shortcat casually gets a dub in the first game on a new track whilst taking in the scenery 😂

[@TheSimoShow]

i just love the Vancouver track cause i live there so its awesome to have a track where i recognize stuff and my favourite character is probably kamek

[@agentblackbird9435]

As an Iggy main who uses Yoshi Bike, I see the Kamek as an absolute win. (I use paper glider just bc I like how it looks didn’t even know it was meta until I played more. I do use Leaf Tires because I prefer how they look to Rollers)

[@stule.]

[@TehFoamy]

“Oil?? Is that a Los Angeles thing??” Lol it actually is, there are a lot of oil rigs in LA. Many of them are hidden behind or inside buildings, so they don’t detract from the aesthetic too much.

[@Banjeoin]

It'd probably be very difficult to keep the game's frame-rate steady on the Switch if they added significant detail to distant parts of the city tracks, so I'd say some of the art choices are about prioritising smooth racing! Personally I think the levels look gorgeous and that there's something nice and impressionistic about the faraway buildings being more like silhouettes, but I understand why other people prefer more detail.

[@Shortcat321]

I wouldn't mind as much if it wasn't in the same game as tracks with incredible graphics like big blue. The graphics and general design choices have also been inconsistent between DLC waves. I think the switch can run the graphics, and they're just putting less effort into the DLC than the base game which is understandable

[@tcogproductions]

As a person from Los Angeles. I can confirm it is all oil around here

[@TheUnkindledTarnished]

I can’t wait for the new vids with the new update. I love your content!

[@Shortcat321]

[@soezfr]

Petey on the scooter is the combo i have been waiting for FINALLY I CAN USE IT

[@jayromontoya2096]

In the squeaky clean sprint a shortcut is when you glide go next to the tooth paste and there is a short cut so just go right when you start gliding on top of towels so when you get on the wood on top of the towels glide right to the pirrhana plant toothpaste I think I'm first to find it like if you found it helpful so when you are on the wood instead of towels glide to the right

[@BWB_Cubing]

2:37 Oh now i know how you still won after all that xD

[@Radioactive-Braincell88]

I want to see all the memes about Petey Piranha getting bit by his own kind, salute the guy for knowing he'd be going in there facing off against his own family.

[@therationalluddite]

In Squeaky Clean Sprint laps 2 and 3, if you want to take the upper path near the end, ride the toilet geyser all the way up while holding back on the analog stick and then guide the kart to the right slightly. You might miss it the first time, but it's really easy once you have the hang of it.

[@YoutubeLover-np9lu]

Wiggler is a great addition to the game.

[@axcurs]

the koopa cape shortcut has been shroomless since mk7 also i believe the zappers were taken out since mk7 as well since the pipe you drive through in the underwater section was cut in half

[@pokeguitaristjake6300]

I don't like the mountain textures on Koopa Cape it reminds me of Rock Rock Mountain but other than that the rest of the track looks aesthetically beautiful. Rock Rock Mountain was brought from the ground up from Mario Kart Tour, and it looked so much better on Mario Kart 7. GGs man love the first hand experience you did there :D

[@TanukiAlien]

Man I remember subbing too you when you had 600, now you have 66k. Nice job man. Keep up the good work.

Daisy Cruiser looks really pretty, same with Moonview. I like that there are cars you can ramp off of altho I don't like that the cars don't seem to squish players now. I bet it feels better to play but I liked the gimmick. Squeaky Clean looks pretty damn cool. I kinda miss the Koopa Cape tunnel being enclosed and not underwater but it looks like they added the water stream that speeds you up back from Wii after they removed it in 7, so that's a huge plus! The three new city maps, especially Athens Dash, look like they're straight outta Roblox though.

19:13 Actually, Vancouver is the place that receives the least snow in the entire country cause even during winter, it generally stays above the freezing point over there. Vancouver was the absolute worst place they could come up with for a snow track. It literally could have been any other city in Canada, Québec city for example. Vancouver and B.C. in general is famous for its sequoias (the redwood forest), not for the snow 😂 Nintendo really dropped the ball on that one

Daisy Cruiser was also on Mario Kart 7 so I feel its base was taken from that version of the course, same with koopa cape, tho I'm sure they're taken from the tour versions because thats what happened with 3DS Rainbow Road Edit: Now that I'm seeing koopa kape, it feels like they scaled it down a bit because it looks so fast!

[@jaryngillick4494]

I do personally feel that it is a bit of a shame that so many people are so consistently critical of minor graphical imperfections and slight differences in art styles in, what really is, and always has been, a gorgeous game. The houses in the far far distance that you'll never drive up to, on a track that is excessively detailed in other respects, aren't HD enough for you? The ground texture, which you'll generally be zooming over, is a little blurry and doesn't have 8K textures?? Even the comparison to base game and Wave 1 that people go on about. Sure, I can see in many respects they aren't necessarily as texturally detailed and even the art direction is a fraction different... They still look vibrant and beautiful. I dunno, I get the impression that people are increasingly spoiled in the graphical fidelity department these days and seem insistent on 'yukking their own yum'. I think we'd benefit from a little more gratitude in general.

[@JJet828]

They should add bomb cars to older tracks like Shroom ridge, it would make a lot of sense (Maybe not in time trials tho) Great vid!
