An interesting detail about the Mega Mushroom is that if you get hit by lightning while it is active, you simply go back to normal size instead of shrinking down!

Also that if you get hit by someone in a star whilst in a mega, you actually get hit like any other player. So its not “just a star rebranded”, its still worse than a star, it’s its own little middle groundbetween normal and star

A community that's still going strong to this day? Check. A fun, fast-paced game with that classic Mario Kart chaos? Check. Insanely busted Shortcuts and Mechanics? Check. Yeah. 8 Deluxe may be the Smash Ultimate of Mario Kart, but this is the Smash Melee of the series. It's one of the best games in the series, and I grew up with short bursts of 7 and 8.

MK-Wii really just feels right because it's so snappy... with 8 it really feels like they tried to push more "realistic" driving controls... but for the Wii it feels more responsive making for a more enjoyable game... you feel like you're playing the game in Wii, but in 8 you're fighting the game

The FIB did come back… kind of. They smashed the FIB and banana together into one shitty item, so now it has the spin out of a FIB (2ish spins + almost complete slowdown, compared to a banana's 1 + only 65%ish slowdown), but is tangible to items like a banana. One of my least favorite things about 8. Removed a whole bunch of gameplay intricacy with that lazy ass move

Maybe I’m biased because it was the only Mario game I had as a kid, but I love Mario Kart Wii. Even though I didn’t understand it and came in 12th a lot at first, I’ve since rediscovered the game and found so many things I love about it. The aesthetic feels very late 2000s in a good way, the track selection is good with a mix of solid new tracks and a great combination of retro tracks, the score is amazing, and I actually really like the battle mode for the map selection. If anything, I wish the character roster was bigger (with the cut racers), and I suppose the game has a notorious difficulty spike. But either way, nothing beats picking up the Wii wheel and having some good old racing. I’d say it’s my favourite Mario game of all time.

I still have my Wii and original copy of Mario Kart to this day, and it continuously pulls a lot of cries of joy and screams of panic from my friends and I whenever we race each other on split screen. The characters and tracks never get boring, and we're always finding new challenges to do just because we think they're funny - the most recent being all of us using Cheep Charger. I'm forever thankful that I grew up on both this and Mario Kart DS, which I absolutely adore due to their difficult yet fair CPU coding. I didn't know it at the time when we got our Nintendo Wii for Christmas, but my dad informed me that they were selling so fast that the one he purchased was hidden in the back of a GameStop, likely stashed by one of the employees for themselves and given to my father by their oblivious coworker. Funny to think that some dumb luck brought me one of my favorite games and consoles of all time.

I love this game a lot, and despite playing battles a handful of times, I still was able to remember those waluigi stadium and the soundtracks; dont get me started on the soundtracks. Amazing video to go back to memory lane and relive the feeling of playing mario kart wii the first time.

I used to play mario kart wii with my older brother all the time as a 9 year old, getting so engrossed with unlocking characters and watching youtube videos about super shortcuts and competing with each other. My brother passed away suddenly and tragically when i was 14 in 2016 and i became suicidal 2 months after, and was admitted to a psych ward for 2 weeks. During our recreational time, there was a Wii that everyone would agree to play mario kart together on, even having a pretend system of "the mario kart king" where the title would be passed on by those leaving to whoever was able to beat them. Playing this every day was a lovely break and really helped me find any joy in life again while dealing with my grief. It reminded me to enjoy the simple things in order to continue on. Its a very special game indeed. And i totally was the mario kart king during my time there.

I'd personally argue a better game is the more fun one! If it was just a personal opinion only that Mario Kart Wii is better, I'd agree with you it's not the best. But it's pretty much highly regarded as the best version of the game by everyone whose even played it. Even those without extreme nostalgia for it. I mean, who cares if the game has more content and characters if it's simply more fun to play with half the characters and tracks in a different game.

My main issue with MK Wii is the lack of I-Frames after you get with an item, along with the fact that there are WAY TOO many items. Other gripes I have with MK Wii is mostly due to the QoL updates that MK8 added, such as Latiku saving you SECONDS after you fall off the course, the increased focus on skillful driving (as opposed GRAB ALL THE ITEMS), and the fact that item boxes respawn almost instantly. I also find the MK8 version of the Wii Rainbow Road to be easier, as for the Mega Mushroom not being back since Wii…that’s probably due to balancing issues

I think the video is missing the point on what makes it a great playing experience, and for me it's the game mechanics. Game mechanics are so complex in that game that the leaning curve is steep and goes far. But the rewards are incredible, chaining wheelies, slip drifts, low jumps, delayed tricks, there is soooo much tech. It makes the game experience complex, and it stays interesting even for really experienced gamers. While MK8 is more "arcade", and less tech based. Another aspect is the amount of positive feedback in this game, which allows to really break away, while on MK8 randomness had a bigger place. This is evident in falling out of map time, wall bumping, the coin, item selection, etc etc...

Back then, I sometimes used to just abandon the race and drive around looking for narrow and harder paths on a map. Driving back and forth against the current, finding short cuts I didn't know existed. I loved to drive ontop of tall bridges, trying to be very careful with the joystick, even though it wasn't necessary. Only because it looked cool.. and that I just found big value in silly things like that. That was one of these things I didn't realize how much I would miss so much later on in the franchise. Bruh, it took me so many years playing Deluxe to realize that auto-steering could be turned off (It wasn't by default on the Wii?), but I was so glad it could! Because it made the whole driving experience and courses feel less restricted and simple. Although, the maps still feel more like roads with invincible fences than full-on environments.

Reasons why MKWii is "Genius": 1. You need an internet guide to unlock some characters. 2. "Iconic" (not nostalgia, I swear) courses. 3. Ultra shortcuts that 90% of players never use. 4. Items that didn't return in future games ("star ripoff," "not super cool" thundercloud, "indifferent" pow block) 5. "Bare-mininum" battle mode ("nobody plays battle mode anyway"). 6. MKWii hacked lobbies. 7. You have to mess with your internet settings to play online again. Thank you for your insight, fine sir.

I grew up playing Mariokart 64. I occasionally played double dash. I loved Mariokart Wii, and I currently have Mariokart 8. Of all of these titles, I think Mariokart Wii is the best. Wii has simple but robust customization between the karts, bikes, and characters. The tracks in Wii are simple enough that young kids can race on them but have hidden complexity for competitive players and time trial runners. Honestly, I think the best tracks in the series come from either 64 or Wii, and I prefer the original versions of those tracks more than the revamped ones in most cases.

Hey! Love your videos! Buuuuuuut I watched this video with my stereo for audio... Consider filtering out low hums in your vocal track! My subwoofers were having a good time 😂

The mega shroom needs to come back, I actually liked the pow as it brought strategy like on SNES Mario circuit 3 you have to slow down to not fly in the dirt

damn, this is the second video i watched from you now and i love this kind of content already! keep it up, you have my sub! btw, if you have done the gameplay on actual hardware, what adapter/capture card did you use? it looks so good!

Mk Wii was truly special. Mk 8 and 8 deluxe almost feel like a different franchise but Mk Wii felt like a natural progression from double dash

I’ve heard ideas about having the thunder cloud make you grow and have a mega mushroom effect, rather than shrinking you. This way, the item is useful and you’ll try your best not to bump into anyone.

my family was always too broke to get new games and consoles so we bought a second hand WII and a few second hand games. I have 3 siblings so being able to play with ALL of us was the best. I have so many fond memories of playing with my siblings and Mario cart was a big part of that.

4:08 I do really wish they made the text of MKW the same font as mkds, I've used it as a custom texture and it works soooooo well i love it and genuinely think the game would've gained a larger fanbase

One thing that I didn’t like about battle mode was how much empty space that some of the courses had, like I liked the concept of each track, but there just felt like there was too much space between stunts/boxes.

10:16 MK7&8 Coconut Mall are good enough, but Wii got it so right, especially with the escalators and cars in the parking lot

i have a friend who's like next level of living under a rock and when i found out she'd never played a video game on a console before my immediate reaction was "wait does that mean you've never played mario kart????" and then i invited her over to play mario kart with me. i have mario kart 8 on the switch but i had her play wii because it's better. needless to say she had a great time

I had a wii back in the day, but my siblings and I only played wii sports resort.... Our wii broke and we hadn't played in over a decade. We recently got a wii again and it came with mario kart wii, I fricken love this game, I can't believe I've never overtired it before, can't wait to learn all the tricks! Ps. I don't know anything besides turning and using abilities, any tips would be much appreciated, such as.... What is a hop?
