Ranking EVERY Character in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

i sadly disagree with your ranking of baby mario he is S tier as he got the best mini turbo the best stat in the game

morton being dead last is so funny given how he was the best character in the wii u version

[@Y_z_r]

Can someone explain why was it so good and now so bad?

[@James-pb8xu]

Speed mattering less here, plus mini turbo mattering a lot more here. Firehopping not being in this game, along with other tech that benefited speed-types i believe.​@@Y_z_r

[@OrangutanMilk]

​@@Y_z_rIn the Wii u version speed is all that matter but in dx its all about miniturbo

[@SydneyIsSleepy]

@@Y_z_r morton was the best character to perform the fire hop tech with; this tech helped you keep your speed after a boost but was patched in 8 deluxe

[@MirageIslander]

i find it funny how the wii u version is the opposite of deluxe in a ton of ways despite being the same game technically

[@GymLeaderJasmine]

I still remember the vanilla MK8 days when you could not go into an online lobby without a bunch of Warios, Bowsers, Mortons and Dry Bowsers. How the times have changed.

Are Daisy and Yoshi some of the most constantly good character in mario kart history?

[@unbound195]

Daisy's basically the GOAT, and that fits her so much idk why

[@C2-jkbj]

Playing as Rosalina just feels so good too

As a Daisy main in MKWii and MK8DX both, this video makes me immensely happy.

[@edenalexandriab9120]

Thank, and, You.

[@AbsoluteLunatic123]

Troy it’s crazy how far you’ve come since u started YT. I’ve been with u since 215k and I’ve been on and off, but on now forever. Just wanna say THANK YOU SO MUCH for the memories. Shortcut challenges, Troy Vs Custom track were my favorite series till u quit them(I understand tho) speaking of shortcut challenges, how’s Colton, Connor and Justin doing? Hopefully u reply to this, I just hope you continue to keep making Mondays better with Nick. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU SO MUCH❤

[@LiamDeege]

I've been watching Troy on and off since late 2012/early 2013 when my brother first introduced me to him. I was only 7 years old at the time and now I'm 19 as of a few weeks ago. My favorite series back then included RTCT Fail and Recovery, his shortcut challenges, his top custom tracks and his old custom track streams which are unlisted now sadly.

[@James-pb8xu]

Some inconsistencies: Accel =/= mini turbo completely. Baby peach types has the same max mini turbo as baby mario types. Toad has the same mini turbo as koopa troopa, but more speed. Yoshi is only S tier because of how many people use him. Tanooki mario types has the same mini turbo as diddy kong types, but more speed. Tanooki mario type is interchangeable with yoshi practically speaking. Opinions: Mario, tanooki mario, and luigi deserves S tier. King boo types deserves A tier. Bowser types deserves B tier. Toadette types and koopa troopa types deserves C tier. Lastly, bump shy guy types up to B tier. Good tier list, mostly correct in placement. I think your vehicle tier list made more sense because that's the best category for feeling/tactile based judgment calls than wheels and characters. Here, its far more about stats than how it feels i think.

[@pewpew-_-2157]

That yoshi statement is an opinion big dawg

[@James-pb8xu]

Kinda? The yoshi class is objectively the best character class in the game and is S tier for that alone, but being​ in S tier *by themselves* is a popularity decision, as the Tanooki Mario and Mario/Luigi class is S tier off of stats. People are sheep to the point of a class with literally the same important stats being *magnitudes* less popular because of a minor stat being worse like traction. Characters are far more balanced than what people think. You can take any character to the highest rank in lounge. ​@@pewpew-_-2157

Yeah fr

[@joshslater2426]

My three mains are Petey Piranha, Kamek and Pauline, mainly because they were my most wanted characters for the DLC.

[@pokeguitaristjake6300]

I swore the King Boo Weight Class Meta was considered the 2nd most viable when Wave 4 came out. 2nd to Yoshi weight class

[@gamecubeplayer]

king boo has better speed, weight & traction but worse acceleration, handling & mini-turbo than mario & luigi

[@rryumi]

Editing has been real fire lately, not gonna lie

[@ult_Violet]

My opinion: Mario and Luigi both deserve S tier. Just perfect.

[@jimrdm71]

And Tanooki Mario.

[@acejay21]

Troy: "I sure hope I don't place anything too low and make people mad again" Also Troy: *puts king boo in b teir*

No shot the Tanooki weight class isn't also in S, they're practically the same as Yoshi

[@jimrdm71]

[@MagnusTB_]

saving the best for last i see, cant wait for the hour long glider tier list vid

[@_equinoxe]

My mains are King Boo, Bowser Jr and Inkling boy. Mostly because I don't wanna use yoshi lol. I have low VR so it's still easy for me to win in casual lobbies

[@James-pb8xu]

if you locked any of them in, with a combo that you will always use, you can easily win even in +50k lobbies. You could also compete in lounge.

Me: Every track next? Troy: ... Me: E-every track next..? Right? Troy: *Peace*

[@kevton1397]

Seeing Waluigi in B tier really gives the meaning how the mighty have fallen. Booster course pass patches really killed his viability.

[@James-pb8xu]

Still massively viable. You can reach the highest levels of play with him.

[@volt5481]

Troy is definitely reading my mind. I was thinking a couple days ago: « It would be nice if Troy made a tier list for all the characters in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Mario Kart Wii » and there we have it 😂

[@rasmuspedersen4891]

about the network infrastructure in this game, my theory is that Nintendo just went all Server Authoritive (server determines outcome) after all the hackers in mkwii :/ and i agree that Client Authoritive makes more sense for a game of this style, Server Authoritive works for fps games because you can't see/react to individual projectiles, but that isn't the case in mk. Server Authoritive does have the benefit that items don't need to be aimed so far in front of other racers, because you're only working with client to server delay, not client to server to client delay :)

[@SeaOfPixels]

I'd take having a harder time sniping (MKW) over getting hit by nothing (MK8DX) any day.

[@LiamDeege]

Dumb idea that I know you probably will never do Troy, but I'm gonna say it just once anyways: Revisit every version of every custom track you ever played on Rate That Custom Track with Mayro, kind of like the way you did the revisit video of the top 10 custom tracks 2010.

[@Grantham1]

funky kong not being S tier feels so wrong

[@issacman1870]

It IS so wrong

[@OtisCluck]

Ikr, look how they massacred my boy

[@joshslater2426]

Petey was so disrespected. He deserves better than C Tier.

[@gaalxystar1873]

Nintendo realized how broken he is in Mario kart Wii being the best character to use

[@sawyermccall2370]

Thankfully in this one he based the characters off how good they are instead in how well he did with them, because in the vehicle one he would give two vehicles with the same stats b and s

[@rajkanishu]

to be fair stats aren't everything, he mentioned in the video how the teddy buggy and yoshi bike have the same stats but control completely differently because of the change in drift styles, hitboxes are also to be taken in consideration and general feeling with the vehicle, also the track plays a huge role due to how tue game is balanced overall he did say that one tierlist was based mostly on the one race feeling he got and personal preference and wasn't by any means an "official" one, there's plenty of them on youtube and the internet in general

[@James-pb8xu]

​@rajkanishu he was also pretty inconsistent with stats. Baby peach has the same mini turbo stats as baby mario, dry bones, and the like. Toadette doesn't have max mini turbo. Mini turbo doesn't equal acceleration 1:1. Etc

[@SAO_Yoshi]

I use Petey cause he was my favorite in Double Dash, and seeing him put in C is rough. But your reasons are understandable also the big head, hard to see items while looking back or even in front. (I love it.)

[@James-pb8xu]

Take note he once raced a petey piranha user that used the varmint with GLA tires and that player was running circles around him.

[@SAO_Yoshi]

@@James-pb8xu Oh I see. Thanks for that info. I guess it goes to how he feels to race as more than how good he actually is. Which I think he stated on other characters with how they controlled as well. I think I lost how the tier list was actually ranked.

[@James-pb8xu]

@SAO_Yoshi petey is literally inferior to waluigi i think with less speed or mini turbo ( i forget) but its a 0.25 difference

[@SAO_Yoshi]

@@James-pb8xu Ok. I have seen why he is low but I still love him.

[@James-pb8xu]

@SAO_Yoshi it's not gon matter that much. It'll take maybe 99999 players in a competitive lounge for you to actually feel anything.

how did I miss this video

[@coulsonthurgood2840]

I know you had the same vehicle combo to keep it consistent. But it may have been better to maximize each character type. For example, having a heavier and faster vehicle to balance out the light weights deficiencies

[@TWD98]

I feel like even with the lightest characters, the MT Bonus with mr scooty and rollers still felt pretty good especially with snaking

[@SeaOfPixels]

Light Character + Speed Karts are the worst combos in the game, it doesn't balance out the same way that Heavy Character + Mini Turbo Kart does.

[@James-pb8xu]

@@SeaOfPixels if he chose biddy with the light characters, that would've showcased the reason to play them. But, he doesn't know how to maximize the potential of biddy, so it wouldn't make sense for him to pick it.

Fun Fact: Heavyweights are better on 200cc than 150cc just because of the tracks that don't favor mini turbo.

that is true, but they also favor handling a bit more and generally lighter characters have more handling I think? I don't play this game so please correct me if I'm wrong
