Designs a track that allows you to go multiple ways only for half of them to be completely worthless

[@Shortcat321]

Before recording this video, i only ever took the 3 paths on the left (95% of the time its the bridge). Now i more confidently say that the cannon sucks!

Never once in my Mario Kart career have I ever considered going anywhere other than the left bridge on Yoshi valley. It's all or nothing

[@Shortcat321]

Me: takes the bridge every time to save 0.5 seconds Me: gets bumped off the bridge and complains that this track is dumb

[@jacksondavila7406]

Yup couldn’t agree more

[@tessademsky1156]

real shit

[@acp.exe.]

I didn’t know they were there 😭

[@CorruptedNoob42]

I've mastered the bridge path, so now the only way I fall off is if someone bumps me

[@zamalamahama4894]

I swear this is the first time I’m seeing these other sections of the track. I’ve only ever taken the bridge 😭😭

[@liamuttt]

I’ve played hundreds of hours online and I just found out this track had a cannon 💀

What if Nintendo wanted you to take all the paths? Maybe the real Mario Kart was the journey we take to the end.

[@Shortcat321]

In the next game: *your lap does not count unless you take all 6 paths*

@@Shortcat321 This could've been a cool T variant.

That's some Last of us 2 style bullshit loll But a funny idea

[@TheProswagonist]

​@@Shortcat321 Sounds like a Naruto quote 😂

[@LiatKolink]

​@@Shortcat321that would be pretty cool, actually. Once you take a path, it's blocked off for the rest of the race. This also means different paths are used by different people.

[@Minetendo_Fan]

Instructions unclear, I fell off the bridge right after the shock got me

[@j-m0n3y89]

Bad rng

[@1cans634]

First time i took the cannon i expected to go crazy, it just put me at the beginning of another slow path

[@tamertamertamer4874]

Never really thought about it but I do always take the bridge

[@juliannahivick4923]

I don't think I've ever gone on any other path EXCEPT the bridge. Right after you cross the finish line you can just go into a really long drift to purple sparks, then release it on the bridge to shoot straight before you fall off the bridge. Super efficient

[@OversizedSausage]

Theres a cannon in this level? 😂

[@bignoob24]

I've taken the Canon once on accident and I'm also always the only one that goes to the Cave.

[@PhoeniksStorm]

God i love this track so much

[@YoshiTheGamer64]

Truly a Yoshi moment

[@samuelitooooo]

If this track gets remade again, they should [re]make it so that every path is equally fast. EDIT: So the cannon is a viable bagging strategy?

[@Shortcat321]

I think adding more coins or boost panels to some of the slower paths would be nice. And yes you can go to the cannon to bag, but mostly just on lap 1. Losing 5 seconds later in the race is usually very bad!

[@PabIo290]

besides, items are distance based, this track is "tangled" for lack of a better term.

[@Agente482]

I have played mario kart 8 deluxe since covid show up, and i have never seen those diferent paths until today

[@drdewott9154]

The tunnel path has actually been pretty useful for me in 1st. Especially if a blue is on my tail because the Blue shell just plain doesnt work in the section with multiple paths.

[@KoopaTroopaBeachFan4879]

This is a certified hood classic

[@DeadlockDrago]

Imagine if the cannon route had a secret shortcut. I mean look at where the bend is next to. What a HUGE timeskip that would be.

I have seen 2 shorts from this man I think he's scared of the lightning

You are my favorite youtuber

[@taisgamingchannel8338]

Shortcat or J Perm

[@BombSquad5513]

This actually helped a lot, I always mess this part up. (Btw love ur vids)

[@ROAR1043]

In my opinion I think that number 2 is the best because you have a option between 3 or 4 coins and that extra speed is actually better😊

[@nobody-rb9xh]

I usually always go left to the cave, it's an easy and safe route to take. Even even I'm in first I still take it

[@PoweroftheP00f]

Purple Lightning on Left Bridge is the only way to go 🏎💨

[@LanDoesThings]

So glad I can remember all of this for when I play Mario kart once a month

Bro i didnt even know there was a cave or a cannon 😂😂

[@user-ne5oc2el8i]

This video made me feel all the emotions.

[@Balaroth]

I actually didn't know that cannon existed, you learn something new everyday.

[@erikanderson799]

never even once gone down the right path, always the left for me. you can drift pretty much the whole way there from the start of the race lol

[@adamhall6914]

Dang I remember on the 64 going to the right was the fastest way, though it was all a bit closer

[@squiddler7731]

I remember trying the cannon once out of curiosity. Felt like it's literally just throwing to go that way, lol

[@hamstreak5591]

Cannon is underrated. Free item line

[@chicken]

I always stick to the left bridge, never even knew there were other paths. Cannon path is actually pretty useful for bagging items and coins.

[@williamsanborn9195]

I always go on the bridge. I didn’t even think about it being the fastest. Now I’m glad I go there on Yoshi Valley.

[@Wiiguy1606]

Even back when this course was on the original N64 I always knew to take the number one path because I noticed that it gets to the part where all the paths converge the quickest

[@ss-tl1ic]

I’ve taken the bridge all my life. I honestly dont even know what the rest of the course looks like haha

[@JavierARamos-ql3dj]

I never consider falling off to dodge the shock! You surprise us once again good sir, well played.

[@TR_Reydox]

Thank you for this video, my brother says the ones on the right are the same speed xD

[@PK_Yoshi]

There’s a reason to go canon path it sets you up better for bagging and Yoshi Valley is a bagging track also nobody goes that way so you’re basically guaranteed 4-5 coins and a item

[@ethanwondolkowski737]

With how much I’ve played this track 3 staring the cup, I’m able to drift the entire bridge and get a huge speed boost after it.

[@Veckle]

Very informative! Might as well call this channel driving school cuz of how much you teach

[@podiacider]

Definitely taking left right from now on

[@elitemaster666]

I just realized today, after about 25 years, that Ive always taken the left paths (the bridge near exclusively in mk8, except in 200cc). Ever since this race was made in N64 and I first played it as a 8 yo or so, it became clear to take that path since the CPU always takes it. Crazy how I had never seen so many paths to this day and never even wondered about it. 2+ decades later I see them for the first time ever, haha.

[@isaacnikolic5895]

Ive accidentally always been taking the fastest path on this map, nice. I didnt even know what the right paths looked like or that there was a cave.

[@BrandonChen-sdef123]

That double trick was smooth af

[@bracoeth]

didn't even notice the cannon until this video

[@Rundy975]

I figured the shortest path was this one by myself on my third lap when playing this the first time lol. It just feels so much better and I always take it

[@rodmod]

I’m embarrassed to say I have only ever taken the cannon

[@chrisyo3006]

Crazy how we all just knew the bridge was the fastest without even trying the others lol

[@TomoYoMomo15]

This is my first time seeing what the other routes look like

[@davthesav]

This guy casually teaching us how to save 1 SECOND

[@twiceremoved7339]

I take the bridge because it was the OG best way back in 64. I do miss the mystery positions though.

[@Syd_plane_and_train_spotter777]

I fell off the bridge and shock dodged and Lakitu dropped me on a shroom.

[@josephdecker7058]

I’ve always wondered this but the last one seemed the shortest so I always take it. Glad I was right 😅

[@Uggnog]

I had no idea there was a cannon on this track because I always take the bridge 💀

[@MapleLunii]

Ngl I don't think I've ever taken any of those right paths in my entire life

[@ggkartoffel]

Everytime i fall of and luckytwo gets me back on track i still get shocked even when i just fell

[@Wickedlullaby]

I didn’t even know half of these paths existed because I always take the bridge 💀

[@SlushyStep]

I have never done this track without taking route 1. Did it accidentally at first. Never stopped

[@WolfMeister_69]

The way he narrates this sounds like he’s describing a riddle

[@slowdotmotion]

I have never seen paths 2-5 until I saw this video.

[@nmc_nate80]

Shortcat do you think that you will play more competitive tournaments?

[@beaue4187]

If they ever remake this in another mario kart maybe they should make it have the arrows from the city tracks so you have to take different paths

[@haysdixon6227]

I’ve always just taken the bridge automatically… never even knew about the cave

[@narwalanimates8395]

I genuinely never knew there was a cannon in this level

[@MoonlitMaple]

I always go for the path to the right, then left (for those 4 coins) in the first lap. It’s not that much slower than going left & practically everyone I race with goes left at the start, so I appreciate the free coins 👌

[@Skadidd]

I have played that map a ton of times and didnt even know there was a cannon because ive literally always went left

[@frubbs7901]

I was about to say, I almost always take the 2nd path, and stay next to everybody.

[@rachellecarnevale8612]

I’ve always taken the bridge I didn’t even realize there was a cannon or cave 😭

did you double trick on the ramp leading to the cave???

[@ZSimm2]

I KNEW IT WASN'T JUST ME

[@squidkid419]

When I’m playing online, I usually go to the canon on the first lap because I get a better item and I feel sorry for that bit of track because no one else ever drives that way

[@carlnpc4554]

Thanks for the advice!

[@Croakersilent]

Good to know I instinctively go the fastest way

[@carterjames8829]

Fun fact about the bridge on the left: If you stay on the bridge as a Blue Shell comes for you, it won't notice you and will actually go PAST you. Do not worry about it coming around on the next lap, as the shell will despawn before it can reach you.

[@moothechicken8904]

I never took anything but the bridge. Always thought that there were two paths, the bridge and the one to the right of the bridge 💀

[@chauvetwoods95]

The best part is choosing a path when the blue shell takes another and is going at a different speed so it has to go around another lap

[@PalmTree.]

man the canon deserved more, i was so upset when i found out how slow that route was

[@Bubby0114_]

i went left thinking i was gonna take the fastest path but i forgot i was on mirror mode and took the slowest path

[@powandwow750]

I can't believe my gamer brain instinctively told me to use route #1 without ever having played the map before 🤯

[@ConfederationPeruBolivianBall]

Thank you for the ideas

[@beanqueen613]

Well this is one way to find out I've been using the literal slowest route everytime ive played that map bc I did it once and then just never changed

[@Tofuwabofu]

I just realized I've only ever taken the bridge.

[@gazzabonazza10]

I usually take the number 2 path, mostly because my build tends to keep me in touch with those that take number 1 path.

[@Legitcokmocc]

i feel like yoshi valley had potential for being one of the best courses if all the paths were the same speed

[@SnaltYt]

Actually a fun fact for left and cave path The blue shell just Won't come to you at all IF you are already in the cave Idk if they patched that because I haven't played mk8d in like 3 months but yeah

[@aaroncarson]

Yesterday I was playing it and I watched the blue shell go straight past me so I was following it for a while before it despawned 😂 they have not fixed it

[@Yukimi6345]

@@aaroncarsonThat’s because there are too many paths for The Blue Shell to take so it just takes a random path sometimes missing 1st place.
