Cheating in Mario Kart by using the Pro Guide Online

Today we are racing in a high level online lobby, with the help of the PRO GUIDE for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe! By simply searching a track, I can find the best strategy, tips, and bullet bill spots for every course in the game, so you can do running and bagging effectively. Now it's time to dominate.

ngl I thought the strategy guide would not be nearly as useful as the bullet extensions but it seems like it's the opposite. Glad I put a ton of focus into that and hopefully it can help even more people!

[@wildlifehaven8029]

PIN THE GOATTT! Thank you Shortcat and Gyro

[@Shortcat321]

Thanks for helping to write the strategy Gyrodos! The strategy is easier to memorize than the bullet extensions for sure. But for those of us who don't have it memorized, it helps so much

29:55 you used a coin which gave you a small speed boost in the off-road which caused you to lose all of your speed and your drift

[@noahramey9593]

Oh nice I didn’t know coins could reset speed. I was thinking it had something to do with him having low speed to begin with (he had low coins and a low speed combo) so he lost drifting speed faster.

[@Shortcat321]

Correct! It even took me a while to figure it out when rewatching. Most non-mushroom speed boosts actually slow you down instantly when you touch offroad, such as mini-turbos, trick boosts, draft boosts, and even the tiny coin boost!

can you do a "color combo" challenge? basically you can only use a combo that's for example fully green, so something like green yoshi, yoshi bike, leaf wheels, paper glider. or a full yellow combo, like wiggler, sports coupe, sponge wheels, waddle wing. also characters, karts and gliders that can be colored (yoshi, birdo, shy guy ect. and pipe frame, standard kart/glider/bike ect) are OFF LIMITS unless ABSOLUTELY necessary.

Love your videos Shortcat! You were the person who got me into Mario Kart, and I learned so much from your pro guide. Video idea: Play old meta Mario Kart 8 deluxe combos (Maybe talk about when and why they fell off, and how they good they are now.)

[@arya_moghadam]

I’m so happy there’s a site that lists what type of track is what (like which is a runner and which is a bagger etc). And it also kind of educated me on like what a drafter and a shroomer is lol Like for instance, Peach Gardens out of all tracks is considered a bagger. When I think of bagging tracks, I think of tracks like Cheese Land or Riverside Park, tracks with a lot of critical shortcuts. I actually thought Peach Gardens was a shroomer or a frontrunner since there’s only one huge grass shortcut so I was surprised to see it as a bagger. If the Wii version of Peach Gardens came to 8 Deluxe, it would’ve for sure been a huge bagger, since there are so much more grass and flower cuts in that version, but now I know lol. Thank you Shortcat and Gyrodos for the pro guide!

[@Shortcat321]

Yeah Peach Gardens is an example where I can see why it's a bagger, but I didn't think about it that way naturally since most of the track is shortcutless. It actually would be less of a bagger if it was the MKWii version though, since the 2 main reasons it is a bagger right now are that it is extremely long, and there is a big shortcut right at the end. Without the reversed lap 3, bagging would be weaker

[@arya_moghadam]

Ohhh I see. But yea, that makes sense in a way. I guess if a track is really long and has like one big shortcut, especially if it’s like near the end, I can see why bagging would work effectively. Another example of this can be DK Mountain, it’s a long track and there are some key shortcuts, as a result, the item sets can become broken, which is why that track can be a bagger. But I guess what I was a bit confused on was why DK Mountain is considered as a drafter & bagger (two different track types) but Peach Gardens is a pure bagger 🤔

[@Shortcat321]

@@arya_moghadam That's because none of DK Mountain's important shortcuts require a speed item, so there is no advantage to bagging for items for that purpose. DK Mountain's bagging advantage is more about broken item sets and how long the track is, which means the blue shell and shock are more likely to appear multiple times. You can also run DK Mountain, and ultimately which strategy works better comes down to the shock and blue shell. If nobody is bagging, you can probably just run too because shocks and blue shells become less likely to appear

@@InesJavana @JuanGames drafts are caused when you’re behind another player and I guess you get their momentum? (Idk but smth like that)

[@jamesosaur_]

If you're behind a player for long enough (about 2 seconds I think) you'll get a burst of speed and a chance to pass them. You'll commonly get them at the start of races on straightaways, so if I track starts with a straightaway, like N64 Rainbow Road, that track is likely to be a "drafter".
