The World Record History of 48 Tracks, 200cc, Items in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

[@Skilloz]

Thanks for watching 😁. I'll be speedrunning the new booster tracks so come watch me live on Twitch, if you'd like! www.twitch.tv/skilloz_

[@Akuretaki_Nikolay]

gg on the doc.

[@donovan1082]

Yo can you do more deep dives into speed runs or refer me to someone who does

[@pianist1562]

Awesome video! Remembering when Myst had the WR is so nostalgic to me, I think he was the one who had the record when I first started learning 200cc. So many amazing players featured throughout this video! I'm honored to have gotten as lucky as I have with this category xD

[@levraidunoob]

Gg pianist !

[@akhos9876]

Hey at least you can enjoy retirement by watching videos made to celebrate your achievements!

[@tylerlarsen1842]

And to think, if this video wasn't being worked on, the god run might never have happened in the first place.

[@soupedepigeon]

GG!!

[@payton6278]

YAY WOOOHOOO

[@deci2002]

This video was so good!! I never once thought I'd get a WR in this category, I did it for fun in a race against friends and was so surprised to learn it was actually the WR at the time. I've never attempted another run, but I will someday xD Humbled to be part of history in a video like this, and also super happy for Pianist that he now has this record. He is such a good dude and teammate c:

[@pianist1562]

ngl I'm still miffed you got that in one attempt LOL You're too consistent

[@ryanubo508]

If he didn’t hit the bits of patch for the wr he could have gotten around 300ms faster but still lol nice run im shocked of that rng

[@Draco655]

That video is really amazing i just cannot beleive how much this was soo good. Skilloz thanks you very much for this video and i never think my run was soo god rng ahahah. Very honor and proud to be on that video. Well done everyone

Congrats man! Your an amazing player, I can only hope to be as good as you.

@@emzee1030 thanks you very much for the kind Word honestly it give me some motivation to retry some Word record back again truly ty for that

[@MinecraftRiedl]

The part with calculating perfect RNG I was like: 21:41 wow that’s not nearly as bad as I thought 21:43 Ohh 21:45 ohhhhh 21:46 ohhhhhhhhh

[@ysquaredyobozo]

i also love the understatement afterwards of "it wont happen any time soon"

[@mystwalkermx7]

Man, this video brings me back in time. It was nice to see the whole timeline in detail (thought my total TL from RNG + mistakes was worse than that, lol). I'm particularly amazed at the end result that came after I left the scene. Sub 1h 29m RTA is an incredible achievement, very well done Pianist! Can't wait to see someone get the lucky 96 track run in the future. 😛

[@mrgregeffrey]

Maybe....you?

[@nugget_13]

Yo, proud of being Portuguese! 🇵🇹 Carrega, meu puto!

[@NeonXGameRemixes]

Holy heck, great video buddy! You've definitely leveled up, thanks a lot for putting so much time in creating this for your community. Also, thanks again for crediting the music, I'm honored you're using my game remixes! Take care bud!

[@Skilloz]

Thanks so much! I'm glad you had a chance to watch it and I look forward to all your future remixes 😁

[@buttonsdah5335]

Skilloz- keep making this WR vids. You’ve got a noticeably incredible talent for this Thanks man.

[@Skilloz]

Thank you. There will be more to come.

[@lmdsn]

just wait until 96 tracks 200cc items becomes a category

[@AidGum]

Absolutely evil.

[@gorgonramsey3719]

Pii joining the competition felt like the final boss just suddenly barging in. Probably wasn't the case, but the fact that a guy from a whole different category of speedrun just went and joined another just to beat everyones ass is sort of hilarious to me

[@roygoodhand1301]

Nah. PIANIST IS THE FINAL BOSS!

[@nintony2994]

"On the last track, on the last lap, on the last turn" I can tell you had so much fun saying that

[@CarterThaLegend]

He’s done it again. You do such a good job of making every minute informational and entertaining, got sucked in and didn’t even realize it was a 40 min video. Amazing job, keep it up.

[@clintmcgann2098]

Awesome Video! I wonder if SummoningSalt realizes the impact he has had on the Speedrunning Community. Inspiring people like you to share your story in such a fun and interesting way too. millions of people are enjoying these types of videos even when they have never heard of speedrunning. Regardless... Its easy to see the research you put into this. I can't wait for your next one. Sub'd

[@DaniloGanzella]

finally someone capable of providing as good content as summoningsalt

[@vanesslifeygo]

maybe even better

[@roygoodhand1301]

NOBODY BEATS THE SALT

[@EvsUnderscore]

When we needed him the most, he returned

[@MadaoJoestar]

heh i never thought those super early runs i did were the actual WR at the time. all this time i was playing to see if i could land a WR and turns out i did have it at the start just for a couple of days. just making it to the WR history of a big category like this is a longtime dream accomplished. also, isn't it funny how the very first run has smart steering on for a while? iirc i did this run just when i bought the game so i didn't even know that was a thing until i noticed i couldn't take lines well. this was pretty fun to watch, especially catching up with the later years when i had stopped playing regularly. i can't wait to come back for the 96-track category once that happens.

[@tobiletsplay]

Its always nice to be the first guy to hold a WR

[@pux0rb]

Those guys are legends! I never thought I'd be interested in a mario kart speedrun video, but this was excellently produced! You had my full attention for the videos entirety. And the runners themselves? Flawless driving lines, shortcuts, and item usage. Awesome stuff.

[@bronzeinkwell2590]

Watching Myst out run a blue shell was amazing.

[@miloetripnoend3053]

Huge work, awesome video! All this collecting, analysing, all the work on the editing and the music, hat's down to you! Sound balance is way better than in the previous history, too. Take the time you need, and I'll be waiting impatiently for the next one.

[@kastuxas2012]

This is incredible. if not for this documentary, Pianist15 would not have goten that record. you inspired him to do couple more runs, this is incredible

[@Njaesen]

Amazing video, you have a very pleasant voice to listen too and your production is spot on. It is nice to see more channels cover speedruns and I look forward to more content!

[@paulsimms6795]

That was a great WR timeline. It was explained clearly and accurately. Music was on point to make me feel excited at the right points. Video has great scenes. Thank you for uploading to KZbin. Great job

[@wetnamE]

This is one of the best videos I've seen. period. I can't even begin to imagine the amount of time, effort and love that went into this. I really hope the youtube algorithm gods pick this video up soon because this is an absolute banger of a video in every aspect.

[@juliandesens]

Another great Video! Thanks for opening me up to some of the categories in the mariokart community! As someone who casually watches Speedrun videos, you've done a great job at filling me in with the details and keeping anticipation throughout the video. Tyty

[@pseudotsugame]

thanks for this video! I just started playing mario kart and it was great to see the development of the speedrunning strats over time.

[@MxyMakes]

I love how this speedrun community is so supportive of each other!

[@jettbridger2358]

Idk why I think these videos will be boring sometimes because they literally never are and I’m just captivated the entire time! I loved the part where you got pianist to do another run for data and it got him to the top, you can’t make this stuff up, it’s just incredible!

[@BC250]

13:15 Best combination of Kart

[@loafzero]

awesome video! excited for any more to come in the future

[@2idiots2muchtime]

Such a good video! I just started watching your channel yesterday, and have already happily sat through two long speed run videos of yours. I smiled seeing the interaction between all of you guys as pianist got the WR, TWICE. It's really cool to have a window into your world even when I don't speedrun myself. You have great videos and got my subscription!

[@user-mv3cg7hi7g]

you have a talent for telling tales of world records. keep it up and i'm sure it will pay off!

[@maxfi878]

I actually have done a few runs of this and I'm at 51st place 8 minutes slower than the record. I'm probably waiting for the rest of the Booster Pass to release to do a 96 track-run though. One major change between 8 and 8 Deluxe you didn't mention is that a major strat called fire-hopping was removed. You could preserve your mini-turbo for a longer time by jumping left and right. This was obviously used in all world records. For AeonFrodo's times, you should add 1 second since she stopped the timer early.

[@Skilloz]

I had about 5 or 6 drafts of this video. I actually mentioned fire-hopping and demon sliding up until this final draft, when I decided to remove it. The reason I took it out is because it applied to 150cc in MK8 WiiU (and not 200cc) so I didn't want viewers to get confused with it. Edit: In regards to AeonFrodo's times, her times are correct and she didn't stop the timer early. Her capture card, at the time, had a small delay when using it in OBS. If you look at her full video, you'll notice the timer start slightly before the run actually starts. It all balances out at the end. My capture cards did this too back in the day. Modern capture cards have very little delay with using it with OBS.

[@soupbane1688]

this video is absolutely fantastic, but hearing those neon x remixes absolutely made my day great job on alllllll of this

[@nz7166]

this video is inspiring. i enjoyed watching. thanks for making it!

[@illmatic5294]

Hell yeah, this is like that surprisingly decent bootleg of SummoningSalt!

[@thisnamehaschangedthanksto8185]

12:28 if you listen veeery closely, you can actually hear Mario saying: Welcome to Mario Kart

[@ImDemonAlchemist]

Another awesome video, man. The amount of care, work and passion that goes into a project like this (or at least to do it well, like you do) is insane. Mad props to you, as the only person I've seen who can rival SummoningSalt at Speedrun Histories (not that yours don't stand on their own).

[@melissavollmer5052]

So fun to watch! Awesome video my friend!

[@ryznak4814]

Finally I have waited for another history for so long.

[@mrbacon241]

love this video!!! thx for making it

[@ErikTheOkapiYT]

Amazing video!! (Sorry for missing the premiere) I actually have some skill in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe since 2016/2017 (MK8/MK8D). Although, it's mostly in Time Trials.

[@jacquesvincent7295]

Awesome video man !! Congrats. Very smooth. A pleasure to watch

[@Lynx_v7]

Toshiki just got a 1:28:48.99 RTA a week ago 🤯

[@samuelele]

What is interesting is, that I have played quite some mk8dx to find out what combo is best and I came to the same conclusion😊 however for learning to drive clean on 200cc, I preferred driving a lighter character and only recently started using dk😊

[@sarahFYI]

Great video! Super engaging, enjoyed every bit of it and loved learning the history. Thank you!

[@JustK4Y1512]

Can’t wait for the 96 tracks category

[@ZitroNino]

35:10 there is me! 😛 Nice video you have made there. O stopped on this category since some blue outruns got nerfed and now that targetshocks are gone this probably will change some stuff. I used speedruns just to practice online lines. I didnt know I was 5th place lol.

[@mischieffoal8689]

DAMN what a great end to a video!! I was so excited!!

[@xthriteenx]

Wow! You indirectly got pianist a wr!

[@kingwuf4420]

This video should have WAY more views than it does. Remember me when you’re massive.

[@Ddoublechin]

Amazing music throughout. That rainbow road one gave me chills tho

[@silvesta5027]

At the beginning of the video the quality of their driving felt comparable to mine. I was like ‘I could do this or at least be somewhat competitive to these times.’ But the moment the time trial speedrunners it got so serious. The strategies and driving lines they took were levels above anything a lowly online player like me could do. Great work with this video

[@hoot_645]

Amazing music in this video too, great job

[@julan6839]

summoning salt would be proud

[@plushdragonteddy]

god nothing's better in speedrun history videos than ending with either "at least, that's where this video WOULD have ended" or "surprise, i contributed to this WR's history" and you somehow ended with BOTH

[@ballzz2thewall]

I used to speedrun this game on the Wiiu but couldnt be arsed to switch when they took out firehopping. The game is much easier now. Also cant believe you didnt mention that at the intro, that is by far the biggest change.

[@Jalmaan]

LOL the documentaryception. Making a docu on WR causing to get new WR. That's awesome!

[@StepBaum]

Another really well done documentary :)

[@fabii6758]

today i just saw the blue urself vid subscribed and instant a new video XD. great video!

[@xthriteenx]

Lol this reminds me of all the close calls I’ve had in Mario cart where I win like that scene in cars where lightning McQueen licks the track

[@jonahthompson2534]

I am now going to get a perfect run and I will not stop in until I get a perfect one

[@SonicEggNotMyActuallname]

Getting ready to watch this absolute movie

[@slurpasgasskagg7504]

I really liked the video! If I may give some suggestions, it would be for the audio parts. Both to equalize your voice to make it stand out more. There isn't much noice from your mic, still though you don't sound "close", when talking. Also keep the volume levels a bit smoother/same between the different stages on the video as well as lower the background music even more while talking. Thats my 2 cents, over all very nice editing, interesting story and a fun watch, thank you!

[@Skilloz]

Thank you for the feedback! I will try improve it for the next video.

[@yamummate_L]

This was a incredible video man

[@trogdortamer48]

It’s crazy seeing a player as good as you using Rosalina + P Wing to do a run of all vanilla tracks! Would love to see how much better you can do it today. It had to be odd trying to do a run immediately after buying the game and picking whatever seemed best before anyone knew what the meta combos would be.

[@MistralValon]

draco played competitive 8u prior to speedrunning this game so it’s no surprise he took the boards by storm so early on, not many competitive players really go hard into speedrunning so being one of the few dedicated really reflects how far ahead the runs he got were for it’s time

[@filippodippolito3860]

I've been watching this video every day great video skiloz

[@nickchagnon]

[Uploaded 13 hours ago] I understand now why the algorithm sent me to your Blue Yourself history video. I will new spend ANOTHER 40 minuets watching this back to back with your last history video.

[@calvin_geo]

Super high quality video sir

[@Boonoa]

Amazing video! 👍

[@Scienceboy0]

Imagine asking for filler data for your WR video and they end up pulling a WR directly because of your request. You can't make this shit up.

[@normalmrniceguy2746]

Keep it up Skilloz!!

[@RahidenChan]

Great vid! Would be interesting to see what the Sum Of Best Segments time would be - i.e the fastest time for each track all added together. I assume it’d be around 1:25:00RTA or 1:05:00IGT based on the last stats, or probably better since you can pick the best run of each track.

[@Lunai5444]

I loved this video it’s really good, quality content. I was glad to get something « just like blue yourself history » and I found at you’re the guy who did it lol nice streak. Hope there’s room for more. Just sometimes I think the music spikes too loud too suddenly for example in gameplay phases. In the end of the video during the climax why not but overall I expect chill content, borderline ASMR as the rest of the video but that’s an opinion idk if everybody would rather this kind of experience.

[@ShadowedKami]

Wake up babe, new skilloz upload.

[@TheUnnamedPlayerOfficial]

can't wait to see a dream type scenario with 1 in 10935120852046846 chance rng in mario kart

[@summyt09]

I just wanted to say that while yes, distance from 1st *is* a factor in the items you get, your placement still limits the items you can get. For example, in a 12 player room, you can only get a shock or a bullet in 9th-12th place, and you can never get a green shell in those low spots

[@JunkardCOD]

Best music neon x

[@pistincup352]

This seems really fun, and I would love to try this. Of course I need to practice, but an average of a half hour of gaming wouldn’t be too long. Just need to get a way to record my attempts on Speedrunning this game. I wonder what placement I’ll get for my 1st try when looking at the leaderboard
