A video about the new best kart combination in mario kart 8 deluxe on the nintendo switch, The mario kart 8 deluxe booster course pass dlc wave 5 and 6. Similar to What is the worst kart combination in mario kart 8 deluxe or what is the best route in yoshi valley.

[@screej1088]

I love watching these videos knowing I’m just gonna keep playing the full link set

[@hid3f_]

thats exaxtly what mario kart is supposed to be. being able to play ur favorite combo and still have a fighting chance

[@keiyakins]

Woomy on a Zoomy here.

[@lorelaimorace-kk1xz]

me too most of the time

[@torgeglitched2932]

That is exactly what it is already. Just use whatever you want the differences only truly matter in time trials.@@hid3f_

Oh wow I was NOT ready to come back to a Jopes video and hear the complete voice drop. I'm so happy for them with their channel growing so much! It feels like just yesterday when they posted the best yoshi route video

[@ScheiGuy24]

As a math and physics teacher, and as our Mario Kart club sponsor, I’d like to say this is one of my favorite videos of all-time. Thanks for such a fun dive into the game!

[@aaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrg2090]

Will you show it to the club or math/physics class?

[@ScheiGuy24]

@@aaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrg2090 Definitely! I’ll show it both in class and to the club.

I've been using Light Blue Yoshi, Biddy Buggy, and Azure Rollers for TWO YEARS, and it's now the best in the game. Genuinely insane.

Same, but I've been having fun with Kamek lately. I love the way he disappears.

[@nitrusxd8951]

I clicked on this video expecting to just get the top 5 kart combinations with little to no explanation... Instead I got a gem that actually uses math and calculations to determine the best. Great vid!

[@Jopes]

So glad you enjoyed!

[@PopsiclePenguinWasTaken]

Okay but that quick transition at 0:34 was slick as hell. Cool stuff!

[@inthefade]

Imagine you could tag-team 3 different kart combinations, but only a certain number of times during the race? That would create an entirely different meta.

[@happyarjay]

I love how this video teaches me new things about a game I've been playing for years. Great job on this video!

[@bencarter211]

Every video, your editing and commentary just get better and better! Mad props for all the work you put in!

[@TheEmeraldBlaziken]

Your dedication to this question was incredible. You had me rolling on the floor when you started using Python as I was asking myself “how much crazier can this get?”. Bravo, man!

[@danstratyt]

Surely a programmed approach would be the only way to systematically test all the combinations. I would argue that Python made it easier

[@partyphil5010]

Ain't no way this dude isn't a math professor.

The improvement in quality from your video on this topic from last year is insane. It's clear you put a ton of effort into this video, and it paid off. Awesome job, and very informative.

[@Megidramon]

Jopes, your voice has gotten way deeper since your "What's the Worst Kart Possible in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe?" video. Your video quality has also gotten way better!

[@nc_skier2326]

This was far more in depth than I was expecting! Awesome video.

[@baptistebouchard9435]

Wow that's an impressive level of commitment! Thanks for so much information on the inner workings of the game, I just joined the Discord.

[@theshadowspider97]

Every time he uploads, his voice gets deeper and deeper. He doesn't upload often but every video is like a puberty update. 😂

[@MrCheese270]

I can tell that your editing skills as well as your coding skills are increasing rapidly. Good for you man, keep on making videos! :)

[@darwinjohnson7091]

This is very useful! I appreciate you showing your formula you used to score the karts and the in-depth explanation of each variable. You clearly have a strong understanding of what's going on under the hood of the game, and it's awesome to learn about mechanics that I didn't know about, like the item possibilities being linked to the distance from 1st place. I've been subscribed since the Yoshi Valley video, and each upload I've seen has been really good! Keep up the great work!

[@SeanCMonahan]

This video is my jam! I'm loving the breakdown of your basis for objectively quantifying the stats.

[@georgewoodfine9438]

This has got too be the most detailed video I’ve ever seen.

[@declanmcsherry9368]

This video was awesome dude, I can’t believe the amount of effort you went through to do all this. Keep going and doing this stuff we will gladly support all your awesome videos

[@dweamdoodles1865]

bro you are so underrated its crazy!!!! seriously the work you put into this video is insane

[@benl7172]

This is a really awesome breakdown and I'm glad someone with the brain power + coding knowledge also happens to be a huge Mario Kart fan to figure this out. I think the part about what % of the race is spent not at top speed/hit by items might have convoluted things more than it helped, as just a straight "what kart is fastest absent other factors?" might have made things easier and still been directionally accurate, since it doesn't sound like the acceleration stat makes much of a difference at least compared to speed and mini-turbo (at least as I'm understanding it, since I'm more just a casual player). In any case, really well done, and I think you did a great job simplifying it for folks who aren't great with calculations/math.

[@alyssadeleon4179]

Huge thanks for creating the kart bot and making it easily accessible!

Yooo new Jopes video! The amount of effort you put in for those calculations is insane, and making the calculator available on the discord is so cool. Love the content as always!

Haven't played MK in years but your breakdowns are really fascinating.

i love how the video looks like the old ones (from a year + ago) but you sound really different. Love both, your older and younger voice! ❤

[@francemiaou]

Really cool video! I really love the fact you give all your methodology instead of just saying "believe me, im right" as do all the other KZbinrs

[@Jopes]

I was worried that putting too much info into the video would make people like it less, but now I'm glad that I did!

[@mirfalltnixein.1]

Awesome work, really impressive! I‘d like to see this algorithm applied to the old performance, pre-rebalance. Would be interesting how much the rebalance changed the end results.

[@emceemikey]

great video as always it's so funny to hear your voice dropping throughout your youtube career

[@joshuagach6106]

Very informative. I’ve been playing Mario kart since the release of Wii but until today I had no idea the actual mechanics of drifting.

[@AllesPat]

How cool is that - my go-to setup on 200ccm was always the youshi build (but with shyguy instead for a little better acceleration) 😀 Thanks for your research Jopes!

[@Kr1minalMe]

I found you through this video when I was looking for the best kart combo and I’m glad it did

[@samuelthecamel]

Items in Mario Kart 8 *Deluxe* are actually determined by a combination of your distance from 1st and your race position.

[@TroboTicTac]

I dont think race position matters at all

[@torgansumrio8282]

It doesn’t in this game it’s units behind first. In previous games it was placing. Where did you hear this?

[@chunkymunkyvr8106]

Bro I have been watching you for a whirl and the voice change is actually crazy

[@justsomeguywithafancymusta4542]

This video is crazy good, new sub for u

[@kaloncpu57]

Yoooo wake up friends, new Jopes video dropped Love the effort on this one, because I figured calculating out how much speed vs MT matters would depend on a lot of the factors you mentioned that I hadn't seen other people discuss yet, but also didn't know if anyone would be willing to do this research. Props to you

[@visibly-tired]

Yay Jopes posted 😆 Also damn your voice got deep

[@CrispyLilGuy]

Was hoping someone would make this video soon! Even better it's a Jopes upload!

[@eatyournugget2070]

i was expecting a simple top 5 combos video or whatever. I had no idea i was literally joining a PHD Math class. even though i didn't understand half of what you said i must commend you for the insane effort you put into this video

[@porter5224]

holy crap, this is genuinely impressive work.

[@nicholasfornaro]

Amazing video and excellent thumbnail!

[@svtq]

i have never played Mario kart but I love your videos! i wish you posted more often

[@yeetmaster8760]

This is a great video and you did a good job, but the community has know for a long time that Yoshi, teddy buggy, rollers, and paper/cloud glider is the best. Mini turbo is only slightly better than speed. If you do the calculations thinking that way then teddy buggy comes out on top. Also if you look at the Teddy buggy's other stats it is clear they are more favorable. Your combination you came up with is still completely viable, and your calculations were very impressive!

[@hi-wf9ql]

the amount of effort that must go into these videos is insanee

[@SonicKid7]

Editing was real good this video.

[@AH-64-Apache-Helicopter]

This is mind boggling... The amount of work and effort that is put into this, mad respect man! I wish you all of the succes because youre working for it!

[@user-xx9nj6hz9w]

This math is STUPID impressive, if there is one thing that I think you’re a GENIUS at it’s math. Also I have an important question to ask you Jopes, what is you’re favorite track in the DLC? I used to play tour a TON before I started playing 8 deluxe, so I loved seeing LA laps, Sidney sprint, and Vancouver velocity being added to the pass. Love your videos, keep up the great work!

HELL YEAH I GET TO PLAY AS WARIO THANKS

[@RougeMephilesClone]

That took an impressive amount of number crunching, thank you.

[@parkerdarnell2913]

kamek streedal and roller is probably the best because you forgot to calculate hidden stats like underwater speed and antigravity speed but maybe it doesn’t matter, either way it’s something to look into
