DK mountain barrels sometimes contain bananas, so "trapping" the shortcut may have been your own doing by shrooming through the barrel on the prior lap
When I was trying to bag on Mario Circuit 3 earlier today, it actually worked really well for me. The only things you have to do differently is: 1. Never fully stop/slow on boxes. Prepare to slow down ahead of time 2. Grind coins in whatever position you may be in, you’ll fall behind pretty quickly and increases your odds of pulling a stronger item
@ShroomlessShortcat not sure if you know this already but on wii rainbow road, there is a bullet extension on the turn after the 2 giant circles where it leads up to the glider
Shortcat upload WOO!!! I found you in my recommended around a two weeks ago and since then you've helped me find so much more fun to have in this game :)) I'd previously never played online before, scared that I'd get trounced by everyone and shunned to a very low VR. However, your passion and energy that shines in each video helped me overcome that fear, and now I'm having loads of fun practicing shortcuts demonstrated in your shorts (which are formatted *brilliantly* btw) and also those I've observed in your normal uploads! On top of that I've been practicing the techniques in your beginner tricks video (and trying to practice more advanced ones from Bayesic too!). As of writing this comment, I've got a VR of ~3050, and its steadily creeping up and up (having started from the default 1000VR two weeks ago) Thank you for reading my comment until the end! I wish you good luck in all your future races (whoever you are reading this 🍀) P•S, here's my combo that I built and use based on the optimal build video: Iggy, Landship, Leaf Tires, Bowser Kite Have a great rest of your day!!
Yes another ShortCat video! Just found you like a week ago but I've been watching a lot of your videos lately! Thanks for always being so upbeat and happy all the time. Makes my day a little bit better!
Shortcat, I have a question, now that bagging is not as good as it was before, would you change your main combo as the higher speed stat is not as important
That's true, bagging being worse = speed stat is also worse. But I don't know how much worse bagging is yet, so I'll make that decision after I try some more bagging!
@@Shortcat321 as far as I know, you can sorta bag, but not as the way it normally is. You are gonna have to not get the item box at all until enough people past you just so you can get the items you would normally get for where you at. Like the first time you get the box, it's normal, the 2nd time you get a box from the line at all, you can get a single banana with a very high chance of getting it and lowered chances of the usual items for your placement.
I would love to see a new dedicated bagging video! I also think it could be cool to revisit the highest speed combo and see how well that does now with nerfed bagging
hi shortcat, just wanted to say that your video production recently has been a delight to watch. love the editing and commentary you've been doing more recently as well. keep up the great content shortcat!
11:43 I was playing daisy circuit and some other mk8 DLC tracks that are on the Wii like 30 mins before watching this vid :D It was also my first time playing the Wii in about two years, because i have a switch now, and I was placing pretty well, I even won some races! I also don't have online or booster course, so I can't normally play those tracks :(
6:40 I'm very glad the Mach 8 is good on Wii RR, its probably my favorite track in the entire BCP and I've been using Mach 8 Slim wheels ever since day 1 of MK8 on the wii u, I was destined to main this combo!
hey shortcat you may not see this but thanks for making these type of videos you got me loving mario kart 8 and i never wouldve loved the game so much if it wasnt for you so thank you
real quick, I just want to say that I really appreciate you taking the time to read our comments. No one ever talks about that but I really appreciate it
Hey Shortcat! There is a accually a small shortcut on Madrid Drive in the crowd next to the wiggler. There is a small gap between the crowd that you can drive through! I havent seen anyone talk about it so i thought i would tell you! Keep up the great vids!
@@Shortcat321do you have a video on how to do the trick ramps? RR, Waluigi Stadium, DK Summit.., I suck at those and that would make for a great short (if it doesn’t already exist). Thanks mate! Keep up the amazing work!
As far as i can tell, the bagging nerf isn't too bad. You cannot cycle for items at a single item set anymore, you have to move on to the next set. "let me bag real quick because i just git hit" got a lot harder because you have to make do with the items you roll first. (This might also means that a bagging track depends on item set placements.) If you want to bag, you have to commit. So You can still very much hard bag in cheese land.
shortcat, you can double hoop jump through the middle on wii rainbow road. It's a shortcut and it's faster. You can do it shroomless if you get a trick off of the dash pad at the end of the wavy section and hold up on the stick.
The bagging nerf is for cheeseland (and tracks like it) because as you know the bullet bill extension is great and players choose to sit at the first set for a bullet
Hey Shortcat, while playing with my friends, I figured that with a yellow mini-turbo, you can do the final shortcut shroomless on Rosalina Iceway. It's kinda though tho and I'm not sure it's actually faster if you go shroomless haha
I started bagging cause I kept on seeing the waluigi wiggler stay in the back and I kept on getting mad so I decided to follow them. That's when I learned that bagging helps
From my experience to make non meta builds viable, you have to go out of your way to grab coins. It makes the fast characters outstrip everyone else without items and allows slow characters to keep up with the pack
Hey, if you need to dodge a blue shell when a blooper is obstructing you, the blue shell spins three times, and once it stops, wait a bit and use the shroom.
On daisy’s track, I‘m pretty sure you can throw the bomb against the wooden piranha plant in the shortcut to break it. It‘ll break it from the impact and not explode so you can drive through without needing to bonk. I‘ve done that on another track.
You use a visual cue to help you dodge the blue? Cool! That makes me curious what other people use to help them dodge. I actually rely at least as much on the audio in MK8D. Also, I'm excited for you bagging video! Should be fun and fascinating!
Wow, Birdo at the Wii Rainbow Road in first dodged a blue right before starting to hold a coin in hand in first from just after 23:00 all the way to 23:45 then popped the coin and a mushroom back to back to dodge the blue again, twice within a min. What a flex!
I'm so used to trying to judge whether a track is gonna be a bagger or runner when waves used to come out but it doesn't even matter anymore with wave 6 💀 well not as much at least. Also that is a very good combo, super heavies on scooty is usually decent. Lookin forward to the wave 6 content 🔥
@@TheGalaxyWings Yeah true, its generally the GBA tracks that were the best baggers, besides like Boo Lake and Sky Garden. But bagging is somewhat less effective than it was before obviously but still like do-able lol.
@@TheGalaxyWings Well the change affects bagging on all tracks but I dont really know the specifics of how a track is defined as a bagger or light bagger with this new update so I'm just going with what I see
One thing about the bagging nerf is that last place is intrinsically supposed to get great items to let worse players catch up. They can't nerf it too hard or it stops being fun for some because they just get outskilled and can't get a good placement. So i think the nerf was about as good as possible without truly completely reworking how mk8 deluxe is balanced.
Yo, i recently did a bagging only challenge of my own for the memes (and content obviously) and i’d love to rechallenge myself after the wave 6 changes as well! would love to see how you do compared to me ;) I definitely agree with your point on the way bagging makes the game look a lot less enjoyable for your average player, the public perception isn’t always great on the topic of bagging. While i never really had an issue per say with bagging i didn’t really feel disappointed after the new changes because i knew it was meant to happen 😂
About the Rosalina's Ice World shortcut: When you have to turn smart steering back off after doing it, if slowing down because you're releasing A when going into the pause menu is a concern, maybe try auto acceleration to mitigate it? Just a suggestion
Hi shortcat love the content will you do a stat breakdown on the wave six update on all the new adjustments made to the kart parts like last time? Really liked that video with all the info explained it was really helpful thank you for that
Enjoying your new channel dude, I didn't realise you had started doing gaming content as well. My first channel is Down Under Cuber and i too slowed down with Cubing content in favour of gaming content, I do GTA cotent.
for daisy circuit i think they put the pirana plant there solely bc on wii it was just objectively faster to go through the offroad rather than even just going around
For the shortcut on rainbow road wii at the half pipe, I personally just go to the side like you but stay on the blue section and trick off approximately perpendicular to the road. It gives you a mushroom boost and is very consistent but probably slightly slower than yours when you do it poperly. Also for bagging, if you wait very very long at the start of a track the first item set might give you useless items.
Shortcat thanks to your videos and tips I’m almost at 10k vr :D I still struggle and make mistakes but you’ve taught me a bunch of things like superbounces and shroomless tricks
To the new ice skate map where you used a mushroom i fpund a way without a mushroom that actually might be viable. 1: makes sure you're in the middle even before you enter the ice part 2: drift right up to the snow (not on the snow with an orange mini turbo) 3: in the air let go of r and get the miniturbo boost. I got pretty optimal lines without going on the snow at the top
Would really be nice to see you make a Video on all the 150cc staff ghosts and you beating them. There are not much Videos with good commentary on them on this topic.
imo bagging is only slightly weaker. the old strat of sitting on top of an item set for 10 straight seconds isn't going to be as lucrative since you're only going to roll 2 items max, as opposed to the typical 3 or 4, meaning fewer chances to pull shock or bill specifically. frontrunning yoshi circuit might be a little stronger as a result, but i haven't gotten to play on it online yet
Hey shortcat. Do you know if there are any new bullet extensions? Ive learned a bunch of them and now that multiplayer only choses 6th wave tracks I dont know when to use my bullet bill while bagging. Also, you're ALMOST on 200k, good job!
Hi shortcat ! Im a big fan and i want to know what contoller do you use ? (Im searching one) i love you so much, you made me buy mariokart, the DLC and online play ❤😂 (rip my money)
I personally think bagging isn't dead, you'll need much more than a small nerf to keep shortcat from driving away from the road whenever possible! I think people will just have to adapt a bit to the bew way to bag, just no sitting at item sets for ages "Oh there's a cow bdhind be as well" shortcat, 2023
24:46 I love how Shortcat says ‘let’s do shortcuts here!’ and this in-game Mii says ‘yayyy!’
I dont know why but i find it hilarious that you just abruptly end your videos. There's no outro of any kind and i love it
I'm glad. Most channels have way too long of an outro. Ditto intro. Just get to the point and then get it over with!
DK mountain barrels sometimes contain bananas, so "trapping" the shortcut may have been your own doing by shrooming through the barrel on the prior lap
oh that's crazy i've never seen a banana pop out, maybe because i'm too FAST
@@Shortcat321 You're so cringe that it loops back on itself and is funny, lol, I hope this doesn't sound mean.
@@LighterGreenGamingit's definitely intentional lol

Hi Shortcat, will there be a more advanced guide anytime soon?
Yes! I wanted to wait until after wave 6 because I knew there could be balance/mechanic changes!
@@Shortcat321ok thanks👍. Love the content btw it is very informative!
@ShroomlessShortcat not sure if you know this already but on wii rainbow road, there is a bullet extension on the turn after the 2 giant circles where it leads up to the glider
@@1acym460 that's cool thanks for the info!

Shortcat upload WOO!!!
I found you in my recommended around a two weeks ago and since then you've helped me find so much more fun to have in this game :))
I'd previously never played online before, scared that I'd get trounced by everyone and shunned to a very low VR. However, your passion and energy that shines in each video helped me overcome that fear, and now I'm having loads of fun practicing shortcuts demonstrated in your shorts (which are formatted *brilliantly* btw) and also those I've observed in your normal uploads!

From my experience to make non meta builds viable, you have to go out of your way to grab coins. It makes the fast characters outstrip everyone else without items and allows slow characters to keep up with the pack
It also allows you to be literally faster than gliding while on the ground, which most people dont know
Hey, if you need to dodge a blue shell when a blooper is obstructing you, the blue shell spins three times, and once it stops, wait a bit and use the shroom.

Hey i really Like your Videos they helped me so much in playing all Tracks and also Fun fact: every new mii suit Has an unique Trick Animation

for daisy circuit i think they put the pirana plant there solely bc on wii it was just objectively faster to go through the offroad rather than even just going around
I was waiting for this!!!!!! YEAH BOIIIIIII
The shortcut on Rosalinas Iceworld is passible shroomless. You need to take of at a higher point of the "ramp".

To the new ice skate map where you used a mushroom i fpund a way without a mushroom that actually might be viable.
1: makes sure you're in the middle even before you enter the ice part
2: drift right up to the snow (not on the snow with an orange mini turbo)
3: in the air let go of r and get the miniturbo boost.
I got pretty optimal lines without going on the snow at the top
damn what a comeback
Ahhhh, a new wave. And a new day of the online community picking the best stat characters instantly just to drive parallel to the screen.
I know a way to still bag and get good items: stay in the back but dont go in reverse or stand still in a item box so you trick the game
Also i found a bill extension on 3ds rosalinas ice world, right when you enter the cave part its maybe not a extension but it is a good bill spot
"It's just a rectangle with extra steps"
