Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Backwards Discord: discord.gg/dqeVKWs8dZ My friend really helped me out with this and he makes great content so go sub 2 him: youtube.com/@0ptx
I love how, despite the track looking like it would be an immediate write off as impossible, Coconut Mall is somehow possible backwards in every game it appears in.
@@bdt2002gaming Nintendo just can't help themselves I guess, all of the Wii tracks that ended up being retros in 7 have made their way to both Tour and 8 Deluxe now. They just love bringing those specific 4 back.
0:24 Oh. My. God. This might not seem big but this guy got the model, edited the materials or replaced the water and then rendered an animation. I LOVE reflections!!!!
I didn’t consciously realize it but something in my subconscious was like “wait the reflections are that good?” Turns out no, this guy is just an insanely over-the-top editor
Hearing your voice from a 13 year old to now sounding like a 18 year old is insane. The amount of effort you put in your videos are incredible, keep up the good work ❤
1:37 How on Earth did you discover that bonking into a random corner would disable Lakitu?! How long did it take to discover that?! What kind of witchcraft did you use!? You are a madman, and I respect the hell out of you.
You don’t know how dissatisfied I was when I found out mirror mode just meant the tracks were flipped instead of being backwards. I hope in the next Mario kart we finally get that, I’ve always wanted to be able to play them backwards, and with all the stuff the last 2 games have added (glider, underwater, zero g), it’s 100% possible for them to make courses make sense backwards. Cool to know how many are possible without any changes tho
I think it’s really cool how different all the tracks look and play backwards, and I think it’d be cool if Nintendo added a way to play them backwards officially
Nintendo has done it before, but only in small amounts. DS had some missions where you'd race backwards, whereas Wii had online tournaments that were like mission mode. I think Tour has them too but I honestly can't be bothered to go and check.
It’s honestly amazing how much of this you were able to figure out on your own before even knowing the backwards server existed haha a lot of these strategies are not at all obvious so big props to you
@@Wdbyrvk74fbtej when the video was new, there was this one comment like "Dude, the amount of no effort you put into these videos blows me away, I hope you keep up the bad work" and I like the positive play on it a lot more! :) I apprectate the effort Jopes puts into these videos
It’s honestly really fascinating and cool to see how many people are dedicated to doing this, and the creative solutions everyone comes up with to accomplish them! The Squeaky Clean Sprint pipe jump is super cool. Gg!
Awesome video! You should retry the ones you barely couldn't do with a higher/max speed combo. Might just be enough to get you that extra distance Shy guy is based though
Man you have grown. Keep up the trend man. Starting to think with the music note if it was to be the case, Nintendo could make these notes faster (such as changing them from quavers to semi quavers) to make this game easier and faster. This is a really good video suggestion. Great stuff Jopes.
Wonderful video! This dropped into my Recommended feed, so it looks like the support behind it is definitely working. I've loved the idea of driving backwards on these tracks for years, even the ones that can't be fully done. (MK8 Rainbow Road is a trip when you enter the split paths the wrong way.) Very fascinating to see just how many can truly be traversed this way. And I'm super happy to see a fellow fan of playing as Shy Guy! :D
I started watching back with the Yoshi valley video, can’t believe it’s been 2 years! Glad to see how much your channel’s grown and keep up the great stuff!
Wow, this is such a cool video to showcase this cool pasttime in Mario kart 8 deluxe. Very impressive how many you found, along with the help of the community! Some of these feel mind blowing to me, like Music Park and Mushroom Gorge. I saw Nathaniel Bandy attempt Mushroom Gorge backwards himself, and he made it to the second green mushroom, but even so the fact you can get past that and complete the lap is just insane.
Can confirm that jopes spent a long time researching this backwards stuff also at 1:49 it is likely due to the regular excuse of checkpoints , you don't actually need to hit the corner. Whenever I do speedruns of this category I usually just hit the wee barred part to be safe (you can also just skip this 10 sec time lose but is very hard)
0:43 "...that I could do them with my eyes closed" now we need a Jopes video where he drives on all of the highlighted tracks, backwards, with a blindfold on, maybe as another 100K special if this video hits 50K likes? y'know, Jopes, you should always stay true to your word.
What a gem of a channel! Just went through some of the back catalog and had a few surprises (the voice was one haha), but all the videos are consistently excellent! Subscribed!
Very well done. It would be cool if the Reverse Cup became real some day, though only with a portion of its game's courses since others would have to lose some of their crazier elements to support it.
that's awesome!!! really informative video :) and i really respect going out and finding that community, and sharing their developments as well!! truly a great content creator 🙏
Probably the highest quality young content creator on the entire platform. Not to mention you pull out math that even most us adults will just nod along too. Keep up the amazing work, can't wait to see this channel grow and evolve
I always hoped that Mario Kart would one day add a mode where you could do all the courses backwards. Maybe flip the ramps in locations where it's necessary. That would be even more exciting and disorientating than mirror mode imo!
I always liked the idea of racing tracks in reverse. Luckily in Mario Kart Tour there are a couple of tracks that are reversed. Maybe who knows, if it will become a mode in MK8D.
This was actually planned for Double Dash. Plus, I have several ideas for a Mario Kart Ultimate, which would pull a Smash Ultimate with not only the characters, but also the tracks, modes, and items
@@pvzmariosonica8fan I mean... MK8D still has the potential to hit that Ultimate tagline if Nintendo were to actually add more items, modes and a few more characters. But I don't think they'll do it. [Hopefully Nintendo proves me wrong and releases a second booster course 👀]
1:39 possibly a trigger extending to that corner that tells the game you came from that “previous” area, so if you legitimately came from that “previous” area, lakitu wouldn’t randomly drag you despite not being out of bounds.
Am i missing something? Why would you not just use the highest speed combo the whole time? Its not like mini turbos matter for any of the tracks right? I feel like things would have been a lot easier on a lot of tracks.
All of them, in Tour. That was one of the few brilliant ideas that game had, and I hope they keep it for the next installment. I’d honestly find it way more appealing than, say, mirror mode.
Where is the Neo Bowser City gameplay? U skipped it and went on to Super Bell Subway, then after Mushroom Gorge was completed, Neo Bowser City was red. how was it not possible? same for Sky High Sundae and Vancouver Velocity... 😔
Those 3D visuals are insane I mean, even Baby Park's got one, and you don't even talk about how you conquered that one backwards - especially since Lakitu likes to keep respawning you when you even try going backwards 😭
i know im late, but i love hearing the videos from younger youtubers who are still old enough to know what they're doing. hence why i love watching danerade. this video fills that weird niche for me, so honestly this is really cool! keep it up man!
Music Park just looks so unique... The piano, marimba and vibraphone curves, the drum and tambourine bounce pads.. The fences looking like music staff designs... Crazy detail!
Here's a fun fact about how the Tour cities, N64 Kalimari Desert, DS Peach Gardens and Piranha Plant Cove work. The tracks that have lakitu pick up the player when driving backwards are the ones where you drive backwards for the final lap (Paris Promenade, Sydney Sprint, Berlin Byways, Peach Gardens, Singapore Speedway, Athens Dash, and if my predictions are right maybe Madrid Drive). Tokyo Blur does the same, but that's because the pathway for laps 1 and 2 isn't blocked off in lap 3.
When I was younger, me and my brothers would play mario cart on the Wii and my dad would sometimes challenge himself by doing the first lap backwards before catching up and taking first place anyway. He only did this on easy backwards tracks though
By the way, Boo Lake, Daisy Cruiser, Mushroom Gorge, Snow Land, Waluigi Stadium, Choco Mountain (when it was Possible), were all discovered by me lol (Waluigi stadium was actually co discovered by both me and placid mink)
I am incredibly surprised that I was able to get mushroom gorge, but daisy cruiser was really easy lol (also good job on boo lake, that run is really cool)
Last time I saw you on the internet, you sounded so much younger than this! Cool knowing you’re still around doing Mario kart stuff, keep up the good work!
90% of the time, when a content creator promises a link in the description, the link is not there. Good on you for being one of the few who follows through
7:50 “after over half an hour of attempts by multiple different people, this happened..” *RUclips ad for a horror movie trailer plays* I’m sorry it just made me laugh.

So you are a boy? Your voice changed A LOT in the last few years.
Keep Grinding
3:40 i tried this about 4 years ago, the first music park barrier is doable with the tamberine and 2 mushrooms
Would any of these be possible in Mariokart 8 with the feather? Or was that only in battle mode
I love how, despite the track looking like it would be an immediate write off as impossible, Coconut Mall is somehow possible backwards in every game it appears in.
It is in 7 too? How? I knew it was in Wii, and this video mentioned 8 Deluxe, but 7?

Right?! Wild.
I genuinely thought he was a girl up until the last MK8D video (the only ones I've seen from him)
crazy how lakitu, the one that tries to stop you, is the reason some of these are possible
1:37 How on Earth did you discover that bonking into a random corner would disable Lakitu?! How long did it take to discover that?! What kind of witchcraft did you use!? You are a madman, and I respect the hell out of you.
No im the one doing witchcraft lol
Omg it’s the man with no barriers in video games
@@Andybest1 ah yes, the real wizard himself. Huge shoutouts to you!
Not many people know this, but lakitu doesn't pick you up for driving backwards in time trials.
@@T_Bagz193that's not what they are talking about
When you got to the point of saying “We need to understand how Lakitu works”, I was expecting the SM64 File Select music to start playing
For real, that one SM64 guy that explores the game's internal mechanisms is so underrated fr
You don’t know how dissatisfied I was when I found out mirror mode just meant the tracks were flipped instead of being backwards.

Cool to know how many are possible without any changes tho
Tour's Reverse Mode would like to know your location
I remember in Madagascar Kartz reverse was their answer to mirror mode and it was really cool
Maybe they add jumppads like the mushrooms
*Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's Mirror Mode wants to know your location*
@@InsertPrintScreenwtf are you talking about lmao
Interesting video! Wasn't expecting that many tracks to be possible backwards!
Same
Same
Same.
Even more that are possible
same
The 3D visuals for Royal Raceway and Animal Crossing blew my mind. As is apparently typical, the editing just gets better and better and better
I think it’s really cool how different all the tracks look and play backwards, and I think it’d be cool if Nintendo added a way to play them backwards officially
I was about to say lmao
A reverse mode with ramps added in to make it possible would be fun
Nintendo has done it before, but only in small amounts.
DS had some missions where you'd race backwards, whereas Wii had online tournaments that were like mission mode. I think Tour has them too but I honestly can't be bothered to go and check.
Tour has them, they actually have one for DK Mountain where you're racing up the Mountain as you watch the rocks fall at you
I will email them
It’s honestly amazing how much of this you were able to figure out on your own before even knowing the backwards server existed haha a lot of these strategies are not at all obvious so big props to you
Nathaniel Bandy tried this back when the game released and I've been wanting to see someone try it with the dlc ones. I finally get to see that!
Nat bandy has already done the dlc tracks

I always hoped that Mario Kart would one day add a mode where you could do all the courses backwards. Maybe flip the ramps in locations where it's necessary. That would be even more exciting and disorientating than mirror mode imo!
It has already been done in Mario Kart Tour. They therefore could possibly add that mode to the next Mario Kart.

If Nintendo is making MK9 or any future MK series, hopefully they add a “drive backwards” mode instead of just mirroring the tracks.
Anyone else remember when Nathanial Bandy did this challenge on every single track in every 3d game?
