Yeah, from what I can tell Rosalina has pretty similar stats to Funky Kong in general and is even to this day viable. She also has a turning speed bonus and a few other things that basically keep her basically on par with Funky Kong outside of tool-assisted speedruns and (maybe nowadays) WR time trials.
It could also be the fact that Rosalina was given immediatly if you had on the same wii a Mario Galaxy save file. I don't think many people knew immediatly how to unlock Funky Kong and saw Rosalina as the better alternative. (Sorry if the English isn't perfect is not my language)
@@wio1 I mean realistically the actual difference between Rosalina and Funky is REALLY tiny. Until things started getting properly optimized it was really hard to tell who was better because the performance differences are so miniscule.
What I don’t understand is even on the first day of the game being out people were already playing funky flame runner and had great lines that still hold up today - how was the meta combo and driving style discovered in just hours?
Game sense from previous mario karts i imagine, ive also heard that speedrunners wait a week before getting actual attempts in, tho i only heard that in a scarlet/violet pokemon speedrun video
Friend: I wish for you to know this: Christ is the people's savior, and no one is their own savior; Most people ( including “Christians” are not on the straight and narrow path that leads to eternal life, but on the broad road that leads to hell; Good people do not go to heaven, but forgiven sinners do; those forgiven sinners are only those who are in the faith of Christ Himself, not those who live by the "bible rulebook", but those who obtain their righteousness in the One who makes righteous, through faith- Friends BELIEVE in JESUS to wash YOUR SINS CLEAN- and then REPENT your sins! Faith and repentance come in the same basket, or there is no salvation; Only by the name of Jesus the Christ the Son of God do we have a route of entry into the kingdom of Heaven. Enter into that perfect peace and oneness with God through Jesus the Narrow Gate, the Life, the Good Shepherd, the rock (foundation). We acquire righteousness unto salvation, through our faith in the Savior Christ ( roughly can be swapped out with the word trust ) alone. But faith that is true, and saves a person, is not fruitless ( non-productive ). That natural fruit of an apple tree is an apple, the natural fruit of a pear tree is a pear, and the natural fruit of saving faith is repentance and the Holy Spirit indwelling a true believer ( being a believer is not just believing in the existence of God, or in the existence of Jesus and going to Church on sundays, but being transformed and renewed as a creature by the faith of the Gospel ( the Gospel is the “good news”, of Jesus's death and resurrection to win salvation for believers ) This is no game, and this hopefully was a very convicting read; this is a very summarized version of what you can read in Matthew, Mark, Luke, John- May Christ be with you 🩷
14:22 When it comes to Kart WRs, Wario happens to have similar (but not identical) stats to Dry Bowser, both having maxed Miniturbo, so perhaps Wario can snatch one of Dry Bowser's WRs there
I recently went to my friends house and played this in over like 4 years and it makes me happy to see that the game is still competitive and is still thriving for such an old game. Love that the community is still alive
In a good way, you're a more modern twd98 to me. I adored this game since Troy started uploading MKWII vids but now a days he mostly does youtube shorts. He was the shit back during pre WFC shutdown.
your content is top-tier, very enjoyable! you deserve way more attention! but most importantly, stay yourself, don't let your community change your style too much, we're here for a reason!
I had to do a double take when I saw frostbeule used to have mkwii world records. That man is also a legend in the trackmania scene! (and I confirmed it is the same person)
Aight now the funky Kong asking to hit the subscribe button is a unique and refreshing change from asking like everyone else. Not to take away from how great the rest of the video, but funky Kong worked
I know by adding an attempt limit, it adds stakes which makes videos more interesting.... ... but I wish you kept going until you got it. I like seeing progression to results
For someone who uses the Wii Wheel, I’m impressed with how far the records have come the last 16 years or so. I also don’t use Funky Kong flame runner lol or Daisy Mach bike.
Fun fact: frostbeule is pronounced like frost(same as in English) - b(like the b in bad) - eu(like the oi in oil) - l(like the l learn) - e(like the a in apple) and it translates to chilblain and can be used to refer to someone who gets cold fast (at least in German)
hey bean! quick question: this screen (10:05) is from the downloaded ghosts tab from mario kart channel right? how did u download the ghosts to show up on that tab? since my downloaded ghosts from ctgp dont appear there, idk what to do.
Are you not tempted to go for more attempts after being so close to beating some of these? I would just bend the rules and do some of these maps until I beat them
ive never understood how people can be this good at mario kart wii. i get how people are good in games, but mario wii? The controller is not precise enough and you gotta move your whole body to steer and drifts are close to impossible
You're thinking of the Wii Wheel- that controller is pretty hard to use, but there are other options that most people (myself included) opt to use instead. The GameCube controller, the Wii Classic Controller and the Wii Remote + Nunchuck are the most popular choices.
First of all there are different controllers and secondly you do not need to steer intensely, most likely you'll oversteer yourself and then you have to keep moving the controller left and right to readjust, seems like a skill issue perhaps

I'm pretty sure Rosa was common due to her mini turbo stat bonus, so people thought she was better on tracks with alot of turns.

What I don’t understand is even on the first day of the game being out people were already playing funky flame runner and had great lines that still hold up today - how was the meta combo and driving style discovered in just hours?
I'm guessing this is at least partially because people were already cracked due to their mindset from previous games
Game sense from previous mario karts i imagine, ive also heard that speedrunners wait a week before getting actual attempts in, tho i only heard that in a scarlet/violet pokemon speedrun video
I guess that was the online meta, I played funky Kong and Daisy black in 2008 Because of the online players

And that the ghost is faster the. My time
This is just the normal n64 bowser castle experience. Lose time out of nowhere, mess up the shroom cut, fail shroomless. So relatable 😞

he can. wario has higher drift lol
Let's hope so
That higher drift is often a detriment, though. It gets in the way of snaking.@@TermAscoy

Favorite video UA-cam I’ve seen all week. Great video idea and edits and commentary. Loved it
Thank you so much!
started binge watching ur videos yesterday ‼️‼️
Thanks for your support! I hope you're enjoying the videos
Can’t emphasise enough how crazy these times are - weeks of grinding couldn’t get me some of them
alvins bc64 is pretty solid given it was driven after 2 months of the release
I recently went to my friends house and played this in over like 4 years and it makes me happy to see that the game is still competitive and is still thriving for such an old game. Love that the community is still alive
Fantastic idea! It's a fantastic way of adding depth to speedrunning that is unique to this game
Thanks!
Really really great idea, was very invested by the end
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it
nice video, you made me play this game again 10 years later keep it up!
I'm so happy to hear that, thanks for watching!
I remember when I used to think I was good with the Wii wheel getting a 2:14 on peach gardens, how much I had to learn lol
We all start somewhere
we were all at that point
Funny how most of these wrs are slower than the ctgp esgs lol

The fact that you almost had 6/8 of these is insane. I'm confident that if you knew Rosa more you would have won.
You spoiled it dude
Fun Fact: The Day 1 WR for GCN Mario Circuit doesn't drift through the tunnel
The first Mario circuit WR too! the ghost realign by canceling the wheelie which is very weird from now
Love your content! You do such fun and creative challenges, always exciting!
Thanks so much man!
But Funkykong, I already have liked and subscribed!
Aight now the funky Kong asking to hit the subscribe button is a unique and refreshing change from asking like everyone else. Not to take away from how great the rest of the video, but funky Kong worked
If these people who made these WR in 2008 and they were 14+ They are now grown men/woman
If they were 3 years old they’d be 18 now
cool video, sad that my mom tried throwing me out the window :,(
I hate it when that happens
Your Mum did what?
たろう (太郎 in Chinese characters, literally "great son") is _Tarou_ (tah-roh), it's a common Japanese name traditionally given to an eldest son.
This is an amazing concept and video!
Thanks!
26:02 OMG THAT KILLED ME 😂😂
I was not ready
People were so good at the game just one week after it launched, crazy
Was on the edge of my seat with the finale song playing, thinking “is he really gonna do it??” But then *bonk*
If you could go back in time to when these wr’s were set, you would be like, the best MKWII player ever
10:07 the ctgp expert staff ghost beats that😂😂😂
Btw there exists a video compiling all Day 1 WRs that I can send you if you want, it was only re-uploaded relatively onto UA-cam recently
That would be pretty cool
Keep up the great videos man❤🎉😊
Thank you!
Bean failing bc3 hitting the wall on bc3 and still getting wr is exactly how i thought this video would go 😂
7:09 I need the soundtrack for this I love it
Grasslands All The Way - Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story
Thanks! 👍

12:32 two funny things in a row made be laugh 🤣
7:10 yoooo bumpsy plains
I wonder what these people are up to today, they were probably kids when they set these records, and now they’re probably in their 30s haha
poofesseur if he still had a will to live
banger video, what was the name of the song that played during your N64 Bowser Castle attempt? havent heard it in years :)
Thank you! That would be the Final Boss theme from Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story
Peach Garden
"Beaten by 0.069 seconds"
Nice
Alvin van Asselt was one of my Teammates back in da days. Oh wow so much memories
Yoo man, do you have the samr music pack as BigFry? because he has the same song for ds peach gardens.
Nice video keep it going and maybe one day you'll have a wr again
Nice video!
Thanks!
10:20 ?!?!?! Is it the same Frostbeule that used to be a trackmania pro player?
12:35 killed me💀💀💀
this guy kinda wanna make me go back to playing mkwii lol
You are so unbelievably underated
Thanks so much man!
this is such a cool video idea
Thanks!
you should do a video where you try and beat all the wii wheel world records
I'd imagine most of them are probably not far off from the regular world records, so that may be a bit too much for me
I saw this and I couldn’t let it hang like that:
10:02
Who noticed to?
Love the way je says FROSTBEULE😂
For mushroom gorge, why no ultra shortcut
Fun fact: frostbeule is pronounced like frost(same as in English) - b(like the b in bad) - eu(like the oi in oil) - l(like the l learn) - e(like the a in apple) and it translates to chilblain and can be used to refer to someone who gets cold fast (at least in German)
What controller do u use
Classic Controller Pro.

hey bean! quick question: this screen (10:05) is from the downloaded ghosts tab from mario kart channel right? how did u download the ghosts to show up on that tab? since my downloaded ghosts from ctgp dont appear there, idk what to do.
22:31 song name?
The Final Battle - Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (DS)
How did you download the ghosts?
Not with ctgp
19:00 best part
How did you get the MKWII Channel ghosts? It doesn't work on wimmfi servers you need the ghost database.
i remember being mind blown when the sneakster took the wr in mushroom gorge by someone named "m"
So we’re earning a sub
(-:
19:36 It reads "Tarou"
are we talking about the Trackmania "pro" FrostBeule ? right?
frostbeule was the name of a swedish proffesional trackmania player in the same time period i wonder if it was the same guy
I could be mistaken, but I believe it's the same guy
9:59 nice
Now beat the oldest record of all. Fastest time on the first evef build of Mario Kart Wii from January 23rd, 2006
Technically, the ghost beat you because they were using tilt controls and you weren’t
Bro please make more videos and can u do more challenges i subbed. Funky kong😂
True
did you play with the normal wii controller or controller with the sticks
I use a Classic Controller Pro, which has analog sticks
cool video, sad my pet fish shot my leg :'(
Very unfortunate

How do you race against these ghosts?
You havr to find them online and then upload them to ctgp
Are you not tempted to go for more attempts after being so close to beating some of these? I would just bend the rules and do some of these maps until I beat them
I might go back and try to beat them sometime off camera
10:00 nice
back then, I would have been one of the best players the game had lol
