Biddybuggy is indeed used in time trials for the hit box, but because the hit box lets the vehicle to hang off the edge without falling off, allowing for much tighter lines. Mr. Scooty is used for tracks with walls as the smaller hit box lets you take tighter lines without hitting the walls.
Makes sense! Now that you mention it, I know that this is the case for inkstriker vs mach 8. Both have max antigravity speed, and mach 8 is used to avoid falling off (N64 rainbow road 200cc), while inkstriker is used to avoid hitting walls (water park 200cc)
@@twhylerm That's true, but it follows that making it easier to grab coins allows you to be more consistent in your runs, and maybe even take slightly more direct coin lines. This is probably why Biddybuggy is so often used over Scooty, even on tracks where hanging off the edge or curb of a track is not possible
A couple days ago I was having a conversation on the phone while I was playing Mario Kart and it was so hard to focus that I kept messing up in the game. So yeah, props to all you guys that play the games very well and talk to us, the viewers, at the same time! Y'all make it look so easy lol
I'd imagine it'll take lots of practice and muscle memory, but even then the situation can change unpredictably and he needs to adapt/respond to it promptly too. Such a marvelous display of skill indeed
Not the same. They just have to talk but dont have to "process" a reply and think of what to asnswer to said reply, which is the main distracting part when actually holding a conversation.
11:43 the CC curse: When you get a certain level of popularity, especially in a game that can have a wide variety of age range in its audience, you are inevitably going to get some people that troll just to interact with their favorite CC. You're still the goat, all these videos, whether they are wacky combos or tryhard optimal racing, are still super entertaining!
Just found your channel a few days ago and now I'm obsessed. You've inspired me to get better at Mario Kart, and I love your gameplay! Thank you so much 👍
I've been learning a lot from your videos! I main light blue Yoshi because my aunt got me a light blue Yoshi plush when I was little so it is my favorite Mario character. I've played Mario Kart since Mario Kart Wii but I never learned any more advanced tech tho so its really cool to see you put that tech into action. I usaully use the yoshi bike with rollers and paper glider but seeing you using outside drift has inspired me to try mr. scooty. Outside drift is still strange to me but I'm getting there. Anyway, can't wait to see your next video!
I’ve never seriously played Mario kart, but after finding your channel a couple of days ago I decided to buy the game since from your videos I can see how fun it can be
this is gonna sound weird maybe but your vids are such good sleep aid even if you never intended on it, like wow you're never too loud, your voice is super friendly and comforting, and i can still follow along even while laying down
I also have an Idea! -Look what the current world record for any track is and note down the combo they use. -Invert the combo (so if the wheels had the 2nd highest speed stat, choose wheels with the 2nd lowest speed stat). -Try and come first place on that track with the inverted (worst) combo for that track. Its kind of like the video you made "Can I win with the worst combo?" but harder. Also I used this this combo and won 5 times in a row lol
Here’s my hot take of the day, red shells work too well and are more fun to play around when you can get them to crack on stuff easier. Don’t get me wrong, in mkwii it was a bit too easy because sometimes it would literally just crack on nothing, but in this game they are too good and force you to play defensively. You hardly ever get to be offensive about green shells and lay down bananas as traps as a result. TLDR: Item play is more fun when reds track less and is more skill based as well.
I liked how they where on double dash. You could actually dodge them in turns sometimes because right before impact they would slow down to then become a green shell without bounces

Hey shortcat! You really got me and my brother into mario kart and playing online!! We just got the dlc and are practicing the shortcuts together with ur shorts :D amazing videos, keep up the good work! I did the dk mountain and dk summit gapjumps thanks to ur shorts!!
genuine question: why do you hold a coin instead of taking the double item set? like for example at 15:25 you could've used the coin and taken the double item set with a chance of getting better items?
8:17 it does have a voice chat! you need the nintendo switch app on your phone for this, the other players too and then there is a voice chat option :)
I'm so glad I found this channel, it helped my so much to improve in mario kart and I learned so much. I thought mario kart it was a simple racing game but it has a lot of tactics, but now I've become adicted to try them, thx so much.
(11:00) As much as I hate to disappoint, I not only lack DLC for diddy (that money got spent to enable online multiplayer), but I main comet which is an inside drift bike-Lawd forbid I copy your loadout, I think they'd revoke my license lol. That said, I always keep an eye out for ya, and If ya see a dry bones on an orange bike with metal wheels behind ya then just know I've for your back... until I pass ya lol.
I never play online since I don't have Nintendo Online anymore and my internet poops out randomly for races to feel good, but when the latest wave came out I swapped from Waluigi Biddybuggy to Diddy Mr. Scooty day 1 because I thought "haha, funny monkey." I fell in love with it and now use it as my main get up, it actually plays so nicely!
Idea: You should do a video where you play with voice chat I heard you say "I wish mario kart had voice chat," and it actually does. You gotta use the app and open it while you're in the track select. It's kinda rare to get others talking but I've had many sessions where there's great strangers to talk to haha

That's all true, though I think the hitbox allowing for easier coin pickups is a factor as well, especially on certain tracks

Is this the same logic for Teddy Buggy over Cat Cruiser for online?

Oh yeah talking to someone is definitely harder than talking to myself, but i also play much better if i say nothing or only talk about my gameplay.

If I ever meet Shortcat in real life, I'll just tell him "I'm using tilt controls!" and rocket into space
*triggered*
meet him and real life and try to debate that acceleration is the most important stat and bagging is cheating (jk)
@@Shortcat321 side note appeasement, auto acceleration toggle is legit 1⃣🥇🎊✨
Tilt controls are most of the fun. You guys are boring.
its all fun and games until you realize shortcat naturally uses tilt controls on most tracks
Just found your channel a few days ago and now I'm obsessed. You've inspired me to get better at Mario Kart, and I love your gameplay! Thank you so much 👍
He is so good. I could literally watch him do anything for hours, like solving rubik's cubes.
honestly same here, i started playing competitively just a few months ago and I’m at 6300VR now, you’ve helped me out so much it’s awesome!!
@@TheRealAsriel wow good job!
@@baggelissonicSame! If only he had another UA-cam channel with 1.4 Million subscribers named after a PLL? Perhaps called “JPerm”?
@@DylanCuber 🧐Wow they sound so alike.
I’ve been using villager girl (same stats as diddy) + biddybuggy since wave 4, I’m so glad more people use this combo now!
My favorite female Villager combo is Cat Cruiser, Azure Roller tires, and Cloud Glider. It's what I used to beat the 150cc staff ghost at Rome. 😄
That is such a cute combo (but i think scooty is cuter)
I’ve used Female Villager with Mr. Scooty and Roller Wheels since launch. Glad to see it get some love
Idk why, but the "oof" sound effect makes me laugh each time I hear it.

ain’t no buggy like a diddy buggy
“Ape brain! He is literally a monkey”
-Shortcat 2023 😂😂😂
Diddy Kong is based on spider monkeys, which aren't apes. However, that Diddy was, presumably, being controlled by a human, which is an ape.
@@BrankoVTon the internet, no one knows he's a dog.
Love watching you have fun! Your channel got me into kart games again, I'm having a blast with crash team racing!
Watching this Disney level monkey plot unfold was one of the most entertaining things I have seen today
aint no buggy like a diddy buggy

You won’t regret it. It’s the most fun you can have playing a game

Awesome!! Hope you have loads of fun 😊
Missed opportunity to name yourself MonkeyCat

Yes, more skill required and more control over your own fate is always more fun!

Larry and didi kong have the same weight (speed?)

Wholesome :D
The sound design of the karts is something my brain never even registered.
That ¨Have a good time with me¨ at 12:00 made me giggle and blush a little, like, sure i'd love to spend time with you Shortcat xD
No homo.
genuine question: why do you hold a coin instead of taking the double item set? like for example at 15:25 you could've used the coin and taken the double item set with a chance of getting better items?
late response but it guarantees a defense item in the second slot so said defense cant be stolen
Video challenge idea;
if you cross the finish line with:
10 coins = wait 30 seconds in next game
9 coins = wait 28 seconds
8 coins = wait 25 seconds
7 coins = wait 22 seconds
6 coins = wait 20 seconds
5 coins = wait 15 seconds
4 coins = wait 10 seconds
3 coins = wait 7 seconds
2 coins = wait 5 seconds
1 coin = wait 3 seconds
0 coins = don't wait any
why are you so freaking good at this game?? also thanks for the tips on mariokart in general!! (i will be trying out this combo soon)
16:35 should definitely become a YT Short
Shortcat: This is the Diddybuggy
Every dad who plays mk8dx: they copied my joke!
Wrecked my inlaws with this combo a few days ago - cool to see someone else picking up on it too!
The “diddybuggy”
THE DIDDYBUGGY HAS BEEN BORN!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nah not the P Diddy buggy 💀
Lol
"He's literally a monkey" is the most craziest thing I've ever heard you say
Diddy Kong is my new way to go. Great channel too, keep up the great work!
Is this the first appearance of Merry Mountain in a Shortcat video??
I'm so glad they brought Diddy Kong back. He was my favorite character in Mario Kart Wii!
4:46 IDK why, but I always drift wrong with Mr.Scooty, so I use Diddy- I mean Bibbybuggy
Sup J perm
Ur another channel (this one)
Growing at insane rate
Congrats!
its not jperm
It's crazy how much I've gotten into mariokart every since discovering your channel, diddy buggy is really fun to play
This IS the best combo, I’ve been using it in all my videos
Welp today I realized different karts sound different. I genuinely never noticed that, and I have played this game a lot.
“Speed is so much more important than acceleration”
Roller tires: am I a joke to you ?
they're used for their mini turbo stat, not for acceleration. Acceleration just happens to come with miniturbo
7:40 "I just wanna... be Diddy Kong and toss things at people!
28:04 was an amazing ending! love how he finished with the music.
"This combo has such a bad luck stat" - Shortcat 2023 (21:51)
Shortcat: I NEED MORE MINI TURBO!!!!
7:08 That red shell was like: YOLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
the real reason shortcat has so many mains is so that he can blame the stats if he loses

Funkybuggy 🔜⁉️
Just got back into cubing and I’m trying to learn 3blind
Did anyone else notice that the person who played king boo teddy later switched to diddybuggy
0:41 HOW IS THWT POSSIBLE. I tried to do it once and it got m3 in last place lol.

15:03 your acceleration helped on that shortcut

i absolutely love the fact that someone is 300 vr and in a lobby with 40,000 vr players.

funky,donkey and diddy are all the best characters.
First, shortcat Mii Scooty rollers, king boo teddy rollers and now diddy buggy rollers. You’ve definitely come a long way
A good day when shortcat uploads
Mario Kart vocal chat would be so toxic with "You ******* *****, why did you throw me your ******* redshell, you *******"
I’ve been saying that diddybuggy is viable

6:42 how much do you need to sandbag yes
I want to learn that bomb cover 9:31 it is so perfectly setup... yes it could have been avoided but cuts off the short cut a fair bit
I’m only two minutes in the video. and This is already my favorite short cat video. Maybe I’m biased because I love Diddy Kong.
The name aged like milk 💀
Every WEEK I Always invite a friend over to watch one of shortcat's videos 😊
