I can't believe they added 48 tracks and 40+ characters in Wave 0 😲😲 Definitely my favorite wave of them all!! Also the pipe frame has more handling than the teddy buggy, which is important on some 200cc tracks. The teddy buggy has more glider speed and antigravity speed though!
8:48 Pipe Frame isnt meta, but insanely good and easily A-Tier. So if you feel as if you’re better with it than compared to Teddy, use it, you wont regret it! This comes from a pro player using pipe frame.
Oh and as a side note: Compared to Teddy it has more invincibility frames, more water speed, acceleration and traction. Same mini turbo and ground speed. It loses glider speed and a little anti gravity speed. Handling is mostly the same between the two. So Pipe Frame is good for tracks without gliders and Teddy better on tracks with gliders you could perhaps say.
Seriously people overestimate the teddy and yoshi class. If anyone feels like they do better with a different combo they should just use it cause the difference is actually so tiny in anything but time trials.
Yeah I just use Pauline Teddy which is literally just the old meta combo before yoshi but I unironically like it more because of the invincibility and advantage on stages like Wii Rainbow Road that are just straightforward non snaking tracks.@@deborahkaye747
1:40:50 i busted out laughing as you were talking about how you love watching your favorite tracks and then an immediate cut to the most depressed face when excitebike arena came up LOL
The Amsterdam Drift 200cc shortcut was actually invented by me when it first came up, I really did not expect it to be faster than just tricking off the mole hole.
1:07:48 the bell cup is by far my favorite cup in the game, every track is top tier imo and the fact that all of them are difficult makes is so much better.
@@sediew its because mario kart stadium wr is using wario wiggler (its fatser) and it is Still faster after the balance patch, so nothing has changed sadly. The wr is like 0.2s slower than this hacked one
on singapore, alberto drives on the red, "slower" conveyer because the slowdown really isnt that powerful, so taking a tighter line ends up being faster. also, the glider strat you saw on singapore, and later on tracks like merry mountain and thwomp ruins is called the "jenzua glider," nicknamed after the player jenzua, who discovered it also 36:59 thats me!!
24:55 The main reason you don't really see Singapore or Thailand online is because over here we don't have an available Nintendo E-Shop, so we can't get Nintendo online unless we change our locations, any SouthEast Asian online players are probably shown as a USA or Canada etc. flag
Been watching you for years now and always loved your content. Great to see you pay attention to the time trial scene as well as the racing side to this game. I also loved your reaction on some of these tracks. I'm the guy who holds the Animal Crossing 200cc world record and it's a honour to see you react to my record along with other records! Btw, the Mario Kart Stadium world record you watched is a cheated run. The actual world record is 1:07.271 by Army which is definitely worth watching. Edit: Only just noticed this but the Moo Moo Meadows ghost you watched isn't world record either. 0:58.517 is the actual world record which is a tie between Army and Albert.
31:32 i have so much nostolgia for old twd98, it makes me happy to see him referncing some of the stuff that got me into this channel and mkwii in general over a decade ago
It's so cool to see so many different characters and vehicles being used for these. I know it's because they're the best options for the tracks, but it gets pretty boring only seeing Funky Flame Runner and Daisy Mach Bike in Wii
For those wondering, using a shroom after the countdown is for extra acceleration, “But doesn’t that also mean they have to skip the shortcut(s) too?” YES, and it’s still faster!!
Troy ur non tournament videos are my go to fall asleep videos. And this is not cuz they are boring but its relaxing. I feel so zen watching u. Thanks again for the great content u been putting out. Also loved 99999cc
The one single thing that stood out to me the most is that you don't drive every lap the same way, unlike in older games. Second most: the teleportation strat is a thing. Looking forward to the year of 200 CC and the year of Retro Rewind!
I think the next Mario Kart will be called Mario Kart X considering it's technically the 10th installment and hopefully Christmas 2025. Enjoy our last year with this gem.
Quick explanation on why the Electrodrome SC is only used on L3 : when you end it, you find yourself facing the wrong direction on the track. There is a way to make your kart go back to facing the right direction and save a monster amount of time, but it's extremely hard and very inconsistent. And if you mess it up on L1 or L2, you end up losing time overall. So i don't doubt we're gonna see 3/3 SC on Electrodrome in the future, it's just a matter of time and finding a consistent way to not go facing backwards
really love the reaction videos! i think this style of video strikes the perfect balance between chill and relaxing to watch, while still having good hype moments. plus it's just fun to hear your perspective on things :)
Something very subtle about the streetle cushion tire combo they used for the ice track who’s name escapes me: They utilized the bounciness of thsoe tires to skip the extra bit of snow better, on another combo the second to last corner would have had them land firmly in the snow instead.
excite bike area shortcut through the middle. I was not able to get the tires or the glyders but here is the list of all the parts. mach 8 9 times, koopa clown 7, biddy buggy 10, pipe frame 12, teddy buggy 20, landship 3, tanooki kart 2, varmint 2, B dasher 1, streedle 5, ink striker 6, sport bike 2, yoshi bike 2, gold standard kart 2, standard kart 2, mr scooty 3, cat cruiser 2, prancer 1, w 25 silver arrow 1, blue falcon 2, wiggler 2, master cycle 1, funky kong 3, peachette 1, rosalina 6, luigi 13, yoshi 16, kamek 8, kingboo 6, peach 1, koopa troopa 2, some sort of mii 10, link 2, iggy 3, wario 10, birdo 1,dry bowser 2, baby daisy 2, villager 2, waluigi 3, baby peach 2, wiggler 1. This is the list
I was surprised at the Moo Moo Meadows WR being so fast it skipped straight to the next track... But in all seriousness I was definitely surprised at how some corners were taken in ways I never thought would be possible, I really loved the Donut Plains one !
Awesome video, i havent watched the 200cc records in a while, so this gave me an excuse to do so. You did miss Moo Moo Meadows though, so I'ma go atch that now lol
movie time! strap in yall! i’m more excited for this one since the combos and strats are much more interesting and diverse compared to the 72 track one last year
Actually, Vancouver Velocity is not the only city track to not be the first track of a cup because Singapore Speedway is the last track of the Boomerang Cup.
okay so here’s the thing about pipe frame, i see it pretty often online because i only play 200cc and my main combo is wiggler pipe frame and azure rollers. (using wiggler is weird i know)
44:40 The closest game I could think of was Sonic Riders, since if you run out of Air it forces you to run to a refill station on foot so you can get back on the board, so you really have to learn Air management if you want to stand a chance. In a Mario Kart game with a feature like you mentioned you could throw a countdown on screen and if you don't make it to your kart in time you respawn at the previous checkpoint.
Good to see my boy King Boo getting so much use! Also interesting that we got so much King Boo and Rosalina, but no Pauline! I guess many of these records were set before Wave 6
Here's a fun story: I recently watched Crazy Rich Asians, which is a film that takes place in Singapore and in my head, I kept recognizing parts of the track around the city
I think on Toad Harbour if you don't use the mushy at the start you get pacelocked since that lap 2 shortcut and the lap 3 tram enterance was really tight, but I think that if there wasn't a pacelock that using the mushy lap 3 instead at the start might be faster
Normally not the biggest fan of reaction videos but someone’s gotta tell me what’s going on. Also appreciate all these records being compiled in one place :)
Wave 7 is booster pass and I played Mario kart for years in college so it have Bowser’s Castle and Rainbow Road TOO!! But it was literally the best thing to play with friends!
Hey Troy! Race series format idea: was watching an old formula kart video where you did 50 laps on DK summit with a ramp up from 150 to 200cc. I think it would be super cool to do a big invitational formula GP, say with four 20 lap races, with the wonder decided by lowest total time rather than going off points. Would be a cool test of pure driving skill as the item luck really tends to average out over longer races, especially with the chaotic roulette. Thanks for the content!
Love how much the clown car gets used! It's definitely my favorite in the game *visually* but I can't stand the sound its engine makes so I rarely pick it...
Not well known but collecting coins gives a tiny speed boost. Even at 10 coins, grabbing them does boost you for a split second. You can tell by the flames coming out of the exhaust
41:21 I think it's probably faster to do the shroomless cut, but coins are a must. So it's probably still worth it if you're in first place and you can nail it, since you're getting coin items anyways.
hey troy, it'd be really cool to see you react to all of the mario kart 8 U world records sometime considering the crazy differences in strategy and combos between 8 U and 8 Deluxe. Maybe you could even revisit the game sometime if you'd like, either before the servers for the wii u shut down or just when pretendo is finished and public
This took all day! Be sure to drop a Like
Reacting to 88 150cc WRs: ua-cam.com/video/2Tt9wf_Ehts/v-deo.htmlsi=6uRl8cfeiDjP463e
Nice.
a bone dry dunes enjoyer. awesome :D
Fun Fact: The only world record where they dont get all 10 Coins at all is Donut Plains 3.
Please do all 96 tracks, the 150cc WRs
😅😊
I can't believe they added 48 tracks and 40+ characters in Wave 0 😲😲 Definitely my favorite wave of them all!!
Also the pipe frame has more handling than the teddy buggy, which is important on some 200cc tracks. The teddy buggy has more glider speed and antigravity speed though!
I think I may need to try the pipe frame… 👀
I LOVE YOU SHORTCAT!
I think Waluigi Wiggler is still the best combo ever but I think I also like the Pauline Wiggler with Bowser glider too so thats a thing.
@@Zestycheese-jf9iz lol Waluigi Wiggler still very good :} So is Pauline Wiggler :} :}
Shortcat 🫡

@@kayden2119King Boo Pipe Frame Main here still A+ combo

1:40:50 i busted out laughing as you were talking about how you love watching your favorite tracks and then an immediate cut to the most depressed face when excitebike arena came up LOL
The only correct reaction to that track
1:40:40 is a better timecode for context imo. Yours jumps like a minute after the cut you’re referring to lol
@@IanZWhite00thanks for pointing that out! i was sure i had the right time before, maybe it glitched? i'll edit it though :)
The Amsterdam Drift 200cc shortcut was actually invented by me when it first came up, I really did not expect it to be faster than just tricking off the mole hole.

52:12 "I don't think we are going to see a 3rd purple mini turbo." Proceeds to do the 7th one that race. :D
There are 8 Purples on that time trial.
Hi Troy, just so you know, The ghost you watched on mario kart stadium is actually hacked (250cc), the real world record is the 2nd in the Leaderboard
Even after the stat changes it remains first? That sucks and Nintendo doesn’t do anything about it
@@sediew its because mario kart stadium wr is using wario wiggler (its fatser) and it is Still faster after the balance patch, so nothing has changed sadly. The wr is like 0.2s slower than this hacked one
on singapore, alberto drives on the red, "slower" conveyer because the slowdown really isnt that powerful, so taking a tighter line ends up being faster. also, the glider strat you saw on singapore, and later on tracks like merry mountain and thwomp ruins is called the "jenzua glider," nicknamed after the player jenzua, who discovered it

Thanks shrek
Cheers shrek the boost I needed
Cheers too!
Oh hi Shrek
Thanks Shrek!
Been watching Twd for 5 years straight now, every day before going to bed. Thank you troy for everything you do for us! Love from Italy
Sono contento di non essere l'unico 😂 grande Troy 🎉
It's so cool to see so many different characters and vehicles being used for these. I know it's because they're the best options for the tracks, but it gets pretty boring only seeing Funky Flame Runner and Daisy Mach Bike in Wii
Yo Maya Fey pfp!
this would definitely be the longest video on the channel but a reaction to every ctgp world record would be hype
For those wondering, using a shroom after the countdown is for extra acceleration, “But doesn’t that also mean they have to skip the shortcut(s) too?” YES, and it’s still faster!!
Troy ur non tournament videos are my go to fall asleep videos. And this is not cuz they are boring but its relaxing. I feel so zen watching u. Thanks again for the great content u been putting out. Also loved 99999cc
My favorite back ground noise, thanks for the upload!!

Looking forward to the year of 200 CC and the year of Retro Rewind!
Coins made time trials a lot more interesting IMO just because it means slightly different routes between laps.
I’ve loved yoshi since I was a kid and I love how he gets attention like this by being good for this :)
Bruh said he doesn't know that much but he is intelligently pointing out things about each run just during a reaction video 🤔🤔🤔💯
44:33 excitebike (the real game the excitebike track is from) had this whenever you screwed up the landing after a jump
I think the next Mario Kart will be called Mario Kart X considering it's technically the 10th installment and hopefully Christmas 2025. Enjoy our last year with this gem.
Technically Tour was the 10th
6:08 i was hoping that the like button would glow when he said "smash that like button"
Have watched both 150cc and 200cc records on this channel. It has helped me improve a lot at the game, thanks TWD!
I’m so glad Iggy, as my favorite character, had the same stats as luigi. I’m glad they’re getting representation!
18:24 Sometimes I forget that technical isn’t just a high level gd player lol.
regarded as one of the best
The glider strat you're taking about is the Jenzua Glider
One day, I will beat his DK Mountain record. Whatever it takes.
LET’S GO! I’ve been waiting for this for so long, and it’s finally here!

Or get lucky
@@t1dalw4ve or get extremely lucky yea
1:25:28 I would add that you could fly out of the spiral in sunshine airport to land on the final road block
Great work Troy/TWD98 love your videos and work

he recorded a run that his 8 sec slower than record
23:18 finally someone likes Bangkok rush
27:00, honestly i hard disagree. I think the coins make it much more interesting because its not the same thing 3 times.
link yelling in the clown car on dk summit made my day
These world records are so insane, I couldn't even attempt some of these.
Love the plans for lots of 200 CC ! That is the only tolerable way to play and watch mk8, I’m looking forward to enjoying this.
I love the fact that the kart combos are tailored to the tracks, like how on tracks with a lot of water, they use the streetle
my main is Kamek Pipe Frame and i LOVE it. feels just as good as peachette teddybuggy to me. highly recommend it
This was really fascinating to see. Always cool to discover the creative shortcuts people can make. Especially for 200cc!!
Have you tried reacting to the worst world records?
love the video! 😎
Awesome video, i havent watched the 200cc records in a while, so this gave me an excuse to do so. You did miss Moo Moo Meadows though, so I'ma go atch that now lol
They did Funky kong justice by using him for wii rainbow road and moon view highway
movie time! strap in yall! i’m more excited for this one since the combos and strats are much more interesting and diverse compared to the 72 track one last year
Been waiting for this one, are you gonna do a reaction where you react to just the wave 6 150 records?
Been waiting for this video for ages, so glad it’s out!
28:25 HIS FACE 💀💀💀💀💀
Actually, Vancouver Velocity is not the only city track to not be the first track of a cup because Singapore Speedway is the last track of the Boomerang Cup.
every mk8dx-reaction-video is a reaction video i wanna see next. much love from germany 🥰
okay so here’s the thing about pipe frame, i see it pretty often online because i only play 200cc and my main combo is wiggler pipe frame and azure rollers. (using wiggler is weird i know)
This LA Laps shortcac was awsome!!!
Ive been looking forward to this
44:32 kirby air ride's city trial! You can swap out your star for other ones you find or even get attacked off your star
I swear, whenever luigi does his lil 'Ehehehe!' when he drift turbos, I always think of voldemorts laugh, they sound so similar.
"Silver Star Arrow 25" ahahaha 😂
Love the video though, thanks for making this
Enjoyed the video! RIP Moo Moo Meadows.
The W25 Silver Arrow has the same stats as the Wild Wiggler, it's probably just used for the hitbox and the stats, even though they're not buffed
24:55 They should've done Toronto, a lot of really cool landmarks there. I'm honestly surprised they ditched it for Vancouver
52:35 This person got more purple miniturbo's in a race than i get in a whole cup😂
1.Athens Dash 2. Singapore Speedway 3.Vancouver Velocity 4.Sydney Sprint

Troy AbdallahSmash did a video like 6 years ago of all the 48 150cc wrs. Would LOVE to see u react to them and see how they changed!
Reacting to TWD98 react to every Mario Kart 8 Deluxe 200cc World Record
You gotta love Troy's positivity all of the time
Troy THANK YOU for the time stamps you put in the video very helpful.
Here's a fun story: I recently watched Crazy Rich Asians, which is a film that takes place in Singapore and in my head, I kept recognizing parts of the track around the city
38:43 “only 5000 vr” never felt more violated in my life.
200Cc world Records are so satisfying
Put a ton of work into this video, very cool thanks!
I think on Toad Harbour if you don't use the mushy at the start you get pacelocked since that lap 2 shortcut and the lap 3 tram enterance was really tight, but I think that if there wasn't a pacelock that using the mushy lap 3 instead at the start might be faster
Normally not the biggest fan of reaction videos but someone’s gotta tell me what’s going on. Also appreciate all these records being compiled in one place :)

Wave 7 is booster pass and I played Mario kart for years in college so it have Bowser’s Castle and Rainbow Road TOO!! But it was literally the best thing to play with friends!
Hey Troy! Race series format idea: was watching an old formula kart video where you did 50 laps on DK summit with a ramp up from 150 to 200cc. I think it would be super cool to do a big invitational formula GP, say with four 20 lap races, with the wonder decided by lowest total time rather than going off points. Would be a cool test of pure driving skill as the item luck really tends to average out over longer races, especially with the chaotic roulette. Thanks for the content!
Moo moo meadows did not make the cut 😢
💀☠️
Love how much the clown car gets used! It's definitely my favorite in the game *visually* but I can't stand the sound its engine makes so I rarely pick it...
Some of these tracks look less like crazy shortcuts and more like trackmania performance, either way nice wrs
WOOOOOO, perfect time to watch this while i do some computer maintenance
Definitely loved the turn skip on SNES Rainbow Road
suggestions: add Wave 1 and Wave 2 of the original DLC to the timestamps
I've never watched MK8 speedruns, holy crap they're crazy
Not well known but collecting coins gives a tiny speed boost. Even at 10 coins, grabbing them does boost you for a split second. You can tell by the flames coming out of the exhaust
44:36 That happens a lot in the Halo games. It’s hardly a racing game but it IS possible to have races in it
I feel a lot less bad about myself now seeing that even the WR needs to tap break around the left turn branch on Maple Treeway.
41:21 I think it's probably faster to do the shroomless cut, but coins are a must. So it's probably still worth it if you're in first place and you can nail it, since you're getting coin items anyways.
Now the audience is asking for the final tierlist of this game
28:11 there’s actually a tinsy-wincy line on the insides of the chicane where your kart doesn’t slow down
I think you forgot moo moo meadows
Inside drift is so wild it's insane to see in in WRs
hey troy, it'd be really cool to see you react to all of the mario kart 8 U world records sometime considering the crazy differences in strategy and combos between 8 U and 8 Deluxe. Maybe you could even revisit the game sometime if you'd like, either before the servers for the wii u shut down or just when pretendo is finished and public
About time we see this since we now have all the waves out.
Seeing Funky in that Kart combo on Wii Rainbow Road got me feeling ?!
1:41:28 time trials has the same layout every time, regular races are where it varies
