7:25 Lakitu: "Please, stay of the driving course princess" Peach: "Did i do that" i am kiding about this interaction, most likely Balancing or a reference to lakitu being a koopa

Sky High Sundae is not the worst track. There are so many other worse courses. The WORST course in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is hands down Baby Park.

Something funny is that modern media kinda retcons the idea of DK Junior being Donkey Kong’s dad, and instead makes him a younger Donkey Kong.

wait what about birdo?

I IMMEDIATELY knew Rosalina’s enemy in Mario Kart 7 would be Honey Bee Queen because I remember absolutely despising her. I had thought Rosalina’s other enemy would be Metal Mario though, not Toad.

I think Bowser being a lesser rival than Cranky is because of the whole Star Child thing. I wouldn't be surprised if there's an unspoken agreement that Bowser's *supposed* to kidnap Peach on the regular and it's an agreed-on outlet for his villainous destiny. There's no hard feelings because he literally cannot stray from it for too long. It's also why he's perfectly amiable when he's not being goaded on by literal destiny to the point of siding with the Bros. DK Jr. is NOT a Star Child, he's an outsider, and a reminder of Mario's less savoury past. There's a lot of personal tension between them. Bowser probably considers DK Junior a rival out of daring to distract HIS greatest rival, Mario.

Lakitu might just be a Mario 64 refference, given he is following Mario as the camara man?

Wiggler was also one of Yoshis members of his team in Super Sluggers

If donkey and yoshi aren’t rivals then donkey truly hates Dashie

Remember Toadette is anti-union)

Not only dis they leave Waluigi out of MK7, they even included Waluigi Pinball in the game lmao

Fun fact about the original mario kart for SNES (if i remember correct, so please correct me if im wrong): You can change your main rival, by making them lose a race. If you manage to make them place lower by for example shooting them with a shell close before the race finishes, they stay lower during the next game.

That explains why whenever I was playing Toad in MK7 why Peach and Rosa were always behind me for seemingly no reason Unfortunately the video doesn’t explain why Daisy was so I’ll just chalk it up to 3 princesses

The miis should have been rivals with each other since real people playing their miis would be friendly or non-so friendly rivals as they're playing together

No mention of Birdo and Dry Bones in Mario Party 8: “Bone Chokers”

I'm sure someone probably has mentioned it by now but the bowser dk rivalry also extends out to the mario party games with dk being the only person strong enough to fight back physically against the king Koopa

I don't really have much to say about the rival system so I'm gonna say my favorite character to play, which is Dry Bones

8:38 egg explosion relates to the fact that Yoshi and Birdo shoot eggs as their primary form of attack

8:56 I mean there is a whole level of Super Mario Odissey with red desert, might that be a clue?

I’m always amused that Donkey Kong Jr. is the father of Donkey Kong (not Jr).

5:15 thats a refrence to haunted chase from dkc2

12:12 i think the name trashure is meant to be a reference to the phrase "one man's trash is another man's treasure"?

Toadette the true neutral homie who is friends with everyone.

I was thinking dragon driftway may take place in bowser's kingdom, as not only was Gobblegut a boss fight in mario galaxy two, but bowser's kingdom in mario odyssey was heavily east Asian inspired (not sure if its Chinese or Japanese)

Did I miss Birdo’s rivalry? 😢 Can someone help me out?

You completely gloss over wiggler, birdo and peachette

I love that Toadette and Daisy are depicted as total havoc makers

Never payed close attention to this. It makes more sense now. Just thought it was some random code that randomly chose the same rival by accident. I loved the mario kart games and would play it for hours.

goodness gravy please put a flash warning around the 1:10 mark

2:39 Bro completely disregarded the existance of the Luncheon kingdom of odessey...

Toadette and Wario being friends is hilarious and makes sense since Toadette is canonically anti-union

wait wait wait. you mentioned that bone dry dunes could possibly be in bowser territory, well there is a desert stage in world 8 of super mario bros 3 and around all the stages in world 8 is deep red like the sands of bone dry dunes.

you really look at the daisy and yoshi duo and thought that YOSHI is the tomboy?

Peach as a stand-in for Pauline actually has happened before in the Game & Watch Gallery Donkey Kong remakes in Game & Watch Gallery 2 and 4. It helps Pauline's original sprite design had her as a blonde in a pink dress, making Peach an easy match.

The games have gone back and forth on whether the current Donkey Kong is Cranky’s son (and therefore an adult version of Junior), his grandson (making him Junior’s son), or the same Donkey Kong from the original arcade game (meaning Cranky was never Donkey Kong). The movie made it clear he was Cranky’s son, so they’re probably going to go with that from now on. Though I think it’s worth noting that given the lifespan of a gorilla, if Junior did grow up to become Donkey Kong, at least 5 years would’ve had to have passed between the arcade games and the Country games. But if Junior is his father, it would have to be at least 13 years. Since Mario is canonically in his mid 20s, it would make more sense if Junior is DK because it would make Mario about 20 years old in the original Donkey Kong, whereas he would’ve been 12 if we went with the grandfather theory.

Lakitu is the camera man in Mario 64 maybe that explains his rivalry with peach

7:27 I mean he lays eggs

All the stages take place in BRAZIL 🇧🇷!

In the Mario Party 2 manual it’s stated that DK’s favorite item is the Bowser Bomb (which summons bowser to the board) because he wants to fight with bowser and that could be an in universe explanation to the two being rivals Mario and DK’s rivalry could stem from the Donkey Kong game boy color game and the Mario vs donkey Kong series which I think started around that time Peach and Luigi seemed to have a bit of a rivalry through out the series which has been shown in passing like in Wii’s opening cutscene

5:07 Wario and Daisy both have the unique distinction of being mainstay characters introduced in the _Super Mario Land_ games

I swear to good in MP 4 there were team names in the Beach Volleyball minigame?

I'm actually wondering about Yoshi and Kamek. it feels like they should have a Rivalry, given that Kamek is like... one of the major antagonists of Yoshi's Series...

Being a dry bowser main I can say Iggy is always on my tail.

You do make valid points about Sweet Sweet Canyon being in Sweet Sweet Galaxy (like the name as you said), but I do also like the idea of food related tracks being in or around the Lucheon Kingdom

I like to think Bowser gets along with Luigi because he just doesn’t remember him.
