At least they didn't do something like they did with Argonaut games. They literally stole their work to make Mario 64. Nintendo can be such a bitch sometimes with foreign developers, that's one of the things I hate the most about the company.

@@ToxicSpinach64 You beat me to it lol. I actually read it as that at first. It made me double take for a second until I remembered that Mario Kart could be shortened to MK too. I never noticed before but it's kinda weird how Mortal Kombat and Mario Kart both have the initials MK because they both deliberately misspelled the second word in their titles (combat and cart, respectively) in exactly the same way. Imagine if they made a Mario Kart game with Mortal Kombat characters as DLC. That would be hilarious.
That trivia about Wario being originally German has amazed me, I remember playing Mario Party 2 loads and always thought it was weird him saying 'oh I missed' now I know why! Brilliant
TheRamblingSoul I doubt it would be a ton since it was a few lines and it was only in the Japanese version and he’s done voicework for other games. Not to mention he didn’t know it was for Mario Kart
Martinet's take on Wario, especially early on, to me sounded like his attempt to emulate the VA in the US commercials for SML2, Wario Land, and Wario Blast (OBEY WAAAARRRIO, DESTROY MARIO)
Actually, Luigi and Wario had each been voiced in a video game before. Luigi was first voiced by Bob Sorenson in Mario Is Missing! Deluxe (1993), and Wario was first voiced by Michael Kelbaugh in Wario's Woods (1994) for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.

I KNEW IT. As a kid I remember looking at the back of the N64 box and seeing a screen shot of MarioKart with the feather as an item in the item block thing, but also remember being upset that I never got to use it in the game.
I like how your videos have become more thorough in recent years. Video game trivia videos all too often just regurgitate trivia that can easily be found on wikis.
Every Monday 3 Friends and I would get together for "Mario Cart Mondays" we would play all the levels at least 6 times each, also partake of some of the devils Cabbage. The road rage was real lol
I've played this game countless hours and it's always been a favorite of mine, but among the new things I ended up learning in this video, it's the Diddy Kong cameo that surprised me most. I always thought the map of Royal Raceway looked a bit like Diddy's head, so for a moment I wondered if you guys were gonna confirm that haha
I was hoping it would open with the iconic "welcome to mario kart" we have all heard at least 200 times. Wish i still had my n64. This is my favorite mario kart!
This is the first video game I ever played. I used to beat everyone in my house (like 8 people) and that’s why I learned to love video games !! I’m so excited to watch
My favourite Mario Kart game! I often see people say it’s the one where the AI cheats the most, but I find it probably the fairest of all the games. I never get shot with a red shell just before the finish line and end up coming fourth instead of first and the Blue Shell travels along the ground, so it doesn’t just penalise first place like it does in the other MK games.
I felt that Double Dash had the biggest CPU cheating problem. It was the first time I was ever hit with two blue shells within 30 seconds of each other. That shit made me mad as a teenager.
Fun fact: there are Germanophone populations in Northern Italy that speak both Italian and German, located in the autonomous province of South Tyrol, in the region of Trentino-Alto Adige, so Wario could still be both Italian and speak German or have a German accent.
9:51 "In an attempt to appeal to F-Zero fans," is a phrase we may never hear again in our lives. I don't want to say "R.I.P. F-Zero," but... ...seriously, when do get a new F-Zero game?
some people just arbitrarily have higher sensitivity to motion sickness or car sickness than others.... if anything, it probably means their sense of proprioception (knowing the orientation of your limbs & body without having to look at it or feel it touching something) is STRONGER and HEALTHIER than people who don’t get nauseous as easily from seeing impossible changes in perspective thru a magic window (a computer screen with a dynamic animated or filmed depiction of 3D perspective on it)
That Diddy Kong fact at the very beginning is actually why I came to watch this video right after watching the much more recent Mario kart double dash video. Still this was very cool and fun to watch..
One bit of info I believe is incorrect: The Donkey Kong that is playable in MK64 is not the same Donkey Kong that was a villain in the Jumpman. It's actually the grown up version of Donkey Kong Jr., who has always been a good guy.
On the contrary, he kidnapped Pauline more times than young Cranky Kong did. Young Cranky only kidnapped Pauline in the original Donkey Kong arcade, whereas the Donkey Kong we know kidnapped her in the Game Boy Donkey Kong and nearly all the "March of the Minis" games.
1:30 Now Nintendo has to bring Kamek back in the next Mario Kart game or at least in Mario Kart Tour just like how they added Monty Mole and Dixie Kong in MKT.
Thanks for adding the GS codes for the scaling. I've been messing with them a bit and couldn't figure out how they worked. On that note, does anyone have an explanation of how exactly the GameShark "does numbers"? Like 0000 for 0x makes sense. But I'm having a hard time deciphering the rest so I can experiment on my own.
Gameshark codes are hexidecimal values that point to locations in the data of the video game. You can use a simple hexidecimal converter to change them to more understandable numbers, but the general gist is that hex numbers are in base 16 meaning they count up to 16 before incrementing the next digit. So 0-9 then a-f. Think of it how our normal numeral system is in base 10, so you count up 10 times to increment the 10s digit. So for instance "11" in hex would be 17 because the first digit counts as 16 and the second counts as 1. I hope this made sense!
So a French Translator playing Magic the Gathering led to Wario's voiceline in Mario Party 1 being German? In turn leading to UA-camr Chuggaaconry shouting "doh I missed!" a lot? Wild.
I feel like, instead of 'Scaling Mode' being planned along with Mirror Mode, it's more likely Mirror Mode was just for testing too, and they just thought it might be cool to add as a feature.
The feather item can be seen on screenshots inside the games manual as well (or on the back of box).At least with PAL version (guessing we had 1.0, in case there was an update)
Technically, yes, the Donkey Kong from Mario Kart 64 and the Donkey Kong Country sub-series did kidnapped Pauline, but that was in the Mario VS. Donkey Kong sub-series, which those games were released years after Mario Kart 64, the Donkey Kong that kidnapped Pauline in the arcade original, is actually Cranky Kong, whose not in Mario Kart 64.
That skipped stage mentioned at 10:18 makes me wonder if the battle stage Double Deck is a leftover or a rework of that idea, as Double Deck's multi-level layout with its ramps and slopes look like a parking garage.
I absolutely love the inclusion of GameShark as a stand-in for, other means. I miss the PS2 one that played Demanufacture by Fear Factory as it's intro.
I remember crying in the back seat of my car while this game sat on the floor where my feet were and I was like “I want it!” Thinking it was for someone’s birthday. And my parents were like “it’s yours.” And I played the shit out of it! Good memories!
I had no idea that Diddy Kong was even in Mario Kart 64, especially considering that his own racing game came out about a year after MK64 was released.
I'd welcome a course that's set in a multi-floor parking garage in the next MK game. It could be one of those courses where's there checkpoint-like lines vs laps similar to Maka Wuhu or something, but without glitched shortcuts.
At 9:30, I wonder if the track Y scaling was added for the PAL release? Usually the extra 100 lines of vertical resolution (576 vs 480) ends up vertically squashing the image. Maybe this was added to be used in the PAL release to compensate?
So all those times as a kid playing Mario Party when i thought wario was saying "oh i missed" after losing a game he was actually saying "oh crap" lol that actually makes a lot more sense
So I didn't imagine that Wario talked in german, he really said "So ein Mist"! I always thought I misunderstood it because all the other characters just make some sounds / screams and why would Wario speak in my mother tongue? So I'm not crazy....or a bit less than I thought xD
One of my favorite N64 games to play with my family as a child, though it did provide almost as much strain as a Monopoly/Scrabble session when we'd get competitive (ok, that's not fair, I was the one who always his cool first).
I remember back in like grade 2 a classmate told me that you could make a track in Mario Kart Double Dash. You can imagine my disappointment when I found out it wasn't true lol
5:14 Okay so in this *JAPANESE* franchise we have the main character whose *ITALIAN* and also his evil counterpart Wario who is *GERMAN* ...getting some bad WWII vibes here 😰
as a kid I always understood "so ein Mist", after growing older I thought it was strange Wario speaks german, then my brother told me that Wario says "so I missed" XD
4:06 Nintendo already screwed over the poor guy out of royalties, and then 20 years later he finds out they did it twice.
Poor guy! It's not like Nintendo couldn't compensate him these days....
At least they didn't do something like they did with Argonaut games. They literally stole their work to make Mario 64. Nintendo can be such a bitch sometimes with foreign developers, that's one of the things I hate the most about the company.

I would never play N64 Rainbow Road without items. Sure, you can take the shortcut without items, but it would still take upwards of 4 minutes to do.

I'd welcome a course that's set in a multi-floor parking garage in the next MK game. It could be one of those courses where's there checkpoint-like lines vs laps similar to Maka Wuhu or something, but without glitched shortcuts.
At 9:30, I wonder if the track Y scaling was added for the PAL release? Usually the extra 100 lines of vertical resolution (576 vs 480) ends up vertically squashing the image. Maybe this was added to be used in the PAL release to compensate?
So all those times as a kid playing Mario Party when i thought wario was saying "oh i missed" after losing a game he was actually saying "oh crap" lol that actually makes a lot more sense
Did you know? Every mainline Mario Kart game features either SNES Rainbow Road or the fake item box, but never both
Great overall video. But I love how you cite other people's videos too!
3:50 it’s not misspelling it’s transliteration from Japanese
Mario kart 64’s battle mode will always be the best.
Nice "Luigi does nothing" reference.
Mario Kart 64 is that one Nintendo 64 game everyone had.
Now I REALLY want to see those cancelled tracks. Someone, find them!
So I didn't imagine that Wario talked in german, he really said "So ein Mist"!
I always thought I misunderstood it because all the other characters just make some sounds / screams and why would Wario speak in my mother tongue?
So I'm not crazy....or a bit less than I thought xD
city idea: gets scrapped because it takes so long to drive through
also rainbow road: am i a joke to you?
One of my favorite N64 games to play with my family as a child, though it did provide almost as much strain as a Monopoly/Scrabble session when we'd get competitive (ok, that's not fair, I was the one who always his cool first).
You guys went all out with this video!
I remember back in like grade 2 a classmate told me that you could make a track in Mario Kart Double Dash. You can imagine my disappointment when I found out it wasn't true lol
5:14 Okay so in this *JAPANESE* franchise we have the main character whose *ITALIAN* and also his evil counterpart Wario who is *GERMAN* ...getting some bad WWII vibes here 😰
as a kid I always understood "so ein Mist", after growing older I thought it was strange Wario speaks german, then my brother told me that Wario says "so I missed" XD
