Mario Kart Double Dash: The Best Mario Kart ft. Austin Creed (
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- Mario Kart Double Dash created one of the best couch co-op mechanics that the Mario Kart series has ever seen. Instead of picking customized karts and racing against your friends, you two share the same vehicle and work together as a team to take down enemies and claim that trophy. I'm joined by Austin Creed from UpUpDownDown to partner up on this fantastic and retro Gamecube game. Let's jump into our Mario Kart Double Dash review!

Nintendo didn't carry on this idea because it wasn't tearing friendships apart.

Clearly you haven’t had someone punch at the wrong time and shove your kart off the track into the lava
did u not share one kart with ur siblings and then fight about who was going to drive
Anonymous Fellow or you know, RAINBOW ROAD EXISTS
@@anonymousfellow8879 Oh yeah, but thankfully my brother and I have always been good at games so that was rare and only cos we were new.
@@scottfanko203 More argued, but honestly I'd sometimes welcome handling the weapons cos it would keep us both fresh on a longer track. Sometimes it depends on how well you work with someone.
This game was my first Mario Kart and I'm still disappointed they never brought back the two driver concept (here's hoping in Mario Kart 9).
It should be a mode honestly
Or 8 deluxe deluxe
I like how society has just agreed that Tour doesn’t count (I’m not saying it should).
this game would be perfect for switch cause of the whole joy con controller situation
Definitely! The controller drifts for you 😂
I dream of the day a new Double Dash gets announced
Mario Kart 8 deluxe exists
Justin Waltzer Lmao
I mean pretty sure you can get it on switch if you have a jail broken one
What makes the second driver feel all the more satisfying is how animated they are. How they lean into turns, how they bounce when the road gets bumpy, it makes driving feel a lot more energetic.

I wish that one day, Austin plays any video game with the Undertaker.
Imagine if they added a Double Dash race option in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
we need a DLC with double dash mode!
Imagine if 8 Deluxe got DLC at all. ☹️
@@disneyvillainsfan1666 Yeah, about that
I really appreciate how Double Dash runs in 60 fps, even in 4-player splitscreen.
I can't believe there's ACTUALLY people in the world that dislike this game.
BananaMan ikr
If anything Super Mario Kart is the worst Mario Kart
Well, i'm one of these people.
Great game, but i prefer Mario Kart on the N64.
Maybe it's just nostalgia.
But Double Dash does not click right with me.
I've played it a lot, but it get's stale with me :l
64 does just CLICK right with me.
I do. The controls are too slippery. But I would pick it over 64 anytime
Opinions??
Mister Dude its ok to be wrong we all make mistakes
Finally, someone giving Double Dash the love it deserves!
I feel like most people love Double Dash to be fair. I like it, but it’s not my favourite in the series (it sits somewhat in the middle for me). Whenever I tell people that, I’m often met with “WHAT? MKDD is so good wtf?” 😆
@@worldsboss That's fair, I'm not much of an expert on mario kart or anything but I really enjoyed it as a kid and love going back to it every once in a while. I can see how someone might not like it tho
Scott the woz joins the chat
I played this game a lot with my older brother back when we were kids. We disagreed with stuff, but we could play this game perfectly.
He passed away back in November, so seeing this review opened the floodgate of memories I had with him playing Double Dash. I would enjoy a remake, even if it'd never be the same without my brother.
R.I.P your brother, he will always be in your heart.
bro I'm so sorry. Thoughts are with you and your family. I'm sure he's up there kicking ass in mirror mode with Michael Jackson
I hereby decree the pursuit of Double Dash’s return: #BRINGBACKDASH
#BringBackDoubleDash
Alternate title: “Girard and Austin talk about how great it is to play with each other.”
Girard, huh?
@@L33PL4Y virgin huh?
Last week i went like: “Man, i wish the Completionist made another Mario Kart video...” guess my wish came true! I’m hyped for this episode!
Stop lying for likes mate proper scrambled beg on toast
spamburger222 i’m not lying tho?
Micaiah Burnett it really is, but i didn’t expect that the exact week i had that thought that this episode would come out!
Ok we believe you, you can stop now
spamburger222 Angry much?
I’d guess that when Austin got hit by a blue shell, there were Consequences.
I still remember when friends would come over and we’d play Double Dash for hours! It was just SO good!
Me and my cousins so many hours into this, that mirror 250cc was wild
@@JayJay2515 double dash didn't go up to 250cc. It had 50-150cc and then mirror mode
Exfriends
In my opinion, the most nostalgic Mario kart game ever. Will love it forever!
I think it’s funny how you said it’s the most nostalgic in your opinion.
How come in every video I go to watch an old game I see some boomer crying over their childhood. Its a game nobody cares about your childhood .
MoeMMA305 Dude calm the frick down
@@transformerboy1000 frick youre right
@Matthew C.
I said that because every Mario kart game is nostalgic as I played them all. Who hasn’t at this point?
"the world isn't ready for a Watoad" this just made me realize there isn't an "evil toad", just like there isn't a "good Bowser"... So Toad is Bowser's polar opposite?
There’s shroobs. Remember? Those abominations that fed off the kingdom in MLPT? And Bowser has allied himself with you on multiple occasions. He’s a big softie deep down...occasionally. Particularly in BIS, Super Mario RPG, and Super Paper Mario.
technically wart is an evil toad from super mario 2 lol
Wouldnt that be called frog
*"Tanks That Take Four People To Control At Once."*
I'd totally play that! 😄😁👍
This is the most nostalgic and I grew up with DS and Wii... I played this twice.
MK Wii and the MK Advance are the weakest in the series, IMO
@@hepwo91222 To each their own. I had alot of fun on the wii version.
@@hepwo91222 Wii had a whole lot of new characters, better tracks, and even added bikes, double dash only has partners going for it, mkwii isn't even close to being the weakest.
Felix Gray Yeah, imo, MKW is probably my second favourite.
@@hepwo91222 everyone and their mom would like to have a word with you, wii is praised so hard, so many people still play it today, people made their own server when wii online went down. It's called CTGP. It was so much fun because it was very technical, Lakitu doesn't take you out every time you are of the track which caused for so many cool shortcuts, you should look up Mario kart wii short cuts, of course the really broken ultra shortcuts you aren't able to do online. The only thing bad about it is that the inside drifting bikes are by far the best, karts and outside drifting bikes are complete garbage
Love Austin Creed's enthusiasm. He's a great presentator!
"Knock one out together" that means something completely different in Australia jirard 🤣
This is one of the best Completionist in recent years, I love the hype from both Jirard and Austin, I can really tell you two were having fun
I’m glad me and the competitionist have the same opinion on double dash, my favourite mario kart since I got it three years ago
"The best mario kart" I'm inclined to agree. This game was my childhood my dude. Many an hour spent playing this game with my brother as little kids.
Im so happy to see him complete this game because i am a huge fan of how unique the game is.
“It was a great way to get newbies on board and into the pool”
*proceeds to crash into a pool*
I saw that too, made me snort xD
I've been knitting since my grandmother taught me when I was 10. Since then I've been making my own hats and slippers for 20 years
All the new strategies applied when picking partner characters! Or just picking your two favorite characters, swapping between their special items! Loved playing this game growing up with all of my siblings.
Definitely one of my favorites in the series.
The battle mode is probably my actual favorite, though, it's only missing 64's "bomb vengeance" thingamajig in its Balloon mode xD
"And into the pool!"
*drives into pool*
I see what you did there.
I had to skip the Kingdom Hearts 3 one for now till I finish it. This will do thank you for the content.
I too had to skip it since I don't have the dlc yet
To the people who haven't finished KH3 I wish you luck in avoiding spoilers.
So cool to see The Completionist and one of my favorite WWE wrestlers/RUclips personalities, Austin Creed, working together like this 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I bought a GameCube recently and I really want to find this game
And get good at it!!!
Double Dash and the gamecube in general has a special place in my heart. Playing multiplayer games with my brother is some of the best memories I have. Double Dash is One of the best games on the console known for its games. Mario Kart DS is a close second for me
"LET'S GET READY TO RUMBBBBBBLLLLEEEEE"
The two player on a kart mechanic, even as a secondary mode, and unlockables for every cup and class should really come back in the next installment of the Mario Kart series.
Oh, and character specific special items, too, to differentiate them more, one of the good features that returned, for now, only in Mario Kart Tour.
*OMFG* i have been saying this for years! All of my friends disagree with me. They either think 64 is the best or 8 deluxe, and it pisses me off to no end.
64 is overrated.
It didn't age well at ALL.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is too easy
Double Dash is the real deal.
Glad we have the same opinion
Vs mode, frantic items, baby park, 4 separate players, one player takes each of Bowser, Bowser Jr, Petey pirahna, and king boo in the back. Try to get as many Bowser shells as possible flying around. The absolute best way to play.
If we can’t have double dash mode, I wish we could at least get special items back
Yes
As long as they balance them better next time. The koopas are broken with their three exclusive red shells.
Austin: Everything that makes this game great literally comes down to this.
RUclips: This is a perfect spot to put an ad. 🤔
This is the only Mario Kart I haven't really played, kinda feel like I missed out on it. Maybe I'll go out and get a used copy and play it sometime.
It's worth it. Make sure to grab a friend since it's one of the most fun coop experiences I've had
I can send you the rom
I play it on nintendont
I have some of my best memories with this game when my friends would bring their GameCubes and CRT TVs and we would have a LAN parties with 16 of us across 4 consoles
Hey Jirard, try playing "Songs For A Hero". It's a 2D platformer that the protagonist sings everything you do and do a lot of jokes. It's really fun to play it, and it's not very hard to complete it. It's just an awesome game that needs more love
I knew he was a man of culture, double dash deserves a sequel.
AND HIS FAVORITE IS BABY PARK. ABSOLUTE KING!! WE LOVE TO SEE IT!
“I love knitting.” Please make that a meme.
“It’s just something people dooooo sometiiiiiiiiiimes...”🤣
"What are you doing? We're in the middle of a meeting."
"Hey, I love knitting."
One of my favorite details from this game was that different CC's would have subtle changes to some of the maps
The switch version was a missed opportunity. They shouldn't have re-released 8 and do a version suitable for switch with double riders.
*"Just Goes To Show That Everything's Better With A Friend."*
You can say that again... I 100% agree with you Creed! 😄👍
This game is underrated who agrees
I 100% agree that Double Dash is the best Mario Kart. The battles on DK Mountain are some of my favorite memories
Last time I was this early, Mario Kart wasn't a garbage mobile app.
That's one game, and beside were not sure if it's conformed as Mario Kart 9.
This is the first Mario Kart game I ever played but never owned, nobody wanted to play with me on it. This is a true story.
Yes! You know it! This is THE best Mario Kart!
Obviously.
Mario Kart 8 missed an opportunity for this.
Double Dash is my favorite in the series
And it holds a special place in my heart
This was the first game I was ever able to play with my little brother at such a young age
I would be baby Mario and he would be baby Luigi
And I would always drive and he would always use items
Cause at such a young age all he knew what to do was press random buttons lol
Even years later me being 21 and my brother being 18 now we still enjoy this and play it as we did all those years ago
I’ll be it better then when we were so little
"Mario Kart Double Dash is the best Mario Kart"
That's an opinion I can't stop you from having. Even if you're wrong. Mario Kart Wii master race!
Mario kart wii is super overrated, it is like one of the worst of the serie
i’m honestly shook, i started a new play through 2 days ago after finding my gamecube cleaning out during quarantine!! still plays like a beast, this just got me even all the more HYPE bc it truly is the best MK. (character “specials” like bowser shell or luigi fireball snipes were my fave)
My cousin and I used diddy and bowser jr. big koopa shell to carve out a path in front, and the big bananas to really lock in the lead.
"Hello there."
"General Kenobi"
@@FriskyD. So -uncivilized- civilized.
Looking back, it's amazing how you 2 ended up becoming co-workers. That's insane!
Double Dash was unfortunately where the whole “losing is winning” thing began.
I don’t know, it felt like up to 7 they were snubbing you with that sad music saying “Try for a trophy!” Was more like “Try to get a trophy next time, loser.”
Dude I would love to see Jirard and Austin FREAKING Creed just live streaming themselves knitting for hours, I don’t care if it’s boring I would watch it
Finally, the praise Double Dash deserves!
That Bob-Omb Battle, though? Delicious!
You know.... the tank idea isn't bad at all! Imagine, 1 Player controls the speed and direction the tank is moving in, 1 Player shoots the other players, 1 player can load up special ammunition, maybe by completing a short minigame together with the shooter. And maybe the 4th player has a special radar and can direct other players to special items oder tell them where the other tanks are on the map. I kinda like that idea a lot :)
Hearing Austin drop a b bomb without a dolphin noise is so jarring. Not the fact that he swears, I’m just conditioned to hear the dolphin noises.
I love that that moment when you talk about knitting, and the camera slowly, awkwardly zooms in.
Double Dash is still my favorite Mario Kart period. It strokes a really good balance with the speed and just sheer chaos that breaks out. Also it introduced the Baby Park course, the cruicible that forges racers into warriors.
I agree. I love this game. Love the multiplayer.
God, I love this game-not only did I play hours upon hours of it as a kid, my friends and I played it so much we ended up playing it to completion in college. It was just so much fun; we must have put literally hundreds of hours into it on that GameCube in the dorm basement
I don't watch Austin's stuff, but this is the third or fourth thing I've seen him guest in where he was a tremendous addition to the experience and a lot of fun to watch, so I probably should.
11:00 I-I can't believe you cut that joke in.
But damn, there's so much hype and pure honest joy in this video, I loved every second of it! I'd love to see Austin again in any potential future coop-completion runs.
When Xavier put his hand on Jirard's shoulder and said "It's been a pleasure racing with you", I was certain he was going to use a piledriver on Jirard right then. I don't know why XD
Amazing how watching this video makes me want to boot up Double Dash and play with a friend. Nice work this week guys!
Funny thing is, I've never once had the opportunity to play multiplayer co-op Double Dash, and yet it is still my favorite Mario Kart game by far.
The tag team characters, weight class system, exclusive special items, and nearly-universal carts all came together to give it a unique feeling that I haven't found in any other Mario Kart - even in single-player mode. ❤️
While i grew up with the gamecube and played this for nearly three years straight, i still get war flashbacks from unlocking the final cart on the highest difficulty. I only managed to do it with baby mario and baby bowser and it made me cry numerous times, because i got second place and had to do it all over again.
*"Not That There's Anything Wrong With Being A Husky Ape With A Kick-A*** *Tie."*
That sounds like anybody's father lol! 😂😂😂
I’ve always, always held that if Nintendo ever made a double dash deluxe it would make so much money. The switch would be the perfect console because of the double joycons!
I played the everloving hell out of this back in the day single player and I still had a great time...
This was literally the first video game I owned. It came with my gamecube when I was around 7. It's still one of my favorite games ever made.
Gamecube has the best games! They are so expensive now.
I know right, like even a early 2010s kid like me wondered how the heck the system ended up in 3rd place in the 6th Console generation, or at least sold as well as say, the OG XBOX!?
This game also introduced the ability to strategize with weapons. With 2 interchangeable weapons you can get offensive and defensive weapons. If your in first you can keep your position by holding a banana peel, bad item block, or green shell to block incoming shells. If your behind then you can favor offensive weapons like shells. The ability to swap and store weapons meant you could get to first and plan to keep it.
Mario Party ruins friendships and Mario Kart Double Dash builds friendships. Remember to keep it tight, because tight bois take their time.
Doubledash is the best Mariokart! But it’s not just the double Riders, the tracks and controls were peak Mariokart, and nothing has been as fun since
I think this was my favorite mario kart game as well. My favorite was seeing a unique weapon for every character, and seeing Petey Piranha as a playable character. I was wary of the 2 characters per kart when I got it, but when I played, I had so much fun all the way through.
the dual characters gameplay is often hilighted as this game's best feature [it is the titular mechanic after all] but the character specific items were the icing on that, it added a layer of depth that other mario karts miss out on [amongst the ones i have played] where the characters you chose actually mattered beyond their weight class or minor stat differences, picking a pair who's specials worked well together and suited your playstyle felt important.
This is the only game I could get my Dad to play with me as a kid. There's just something about this game that brings people in and want to play with another person. Definitely some of my fondest memories as a child come from this game.
I found it funny at 10:59 cause he talks about bringing newbies into the pool as he falls into a pool
You should invite upupdowndown more often. He has so much good energy and I like his humor.
This game was a key part to Summer sleepovers at my friend’s house in Middle School. Truly the best Mario Kart. This was a phenomenal video!
By far my favorite Mario kart game. I've never had as much fun with any other Mario kart game before (Mario kart DS got close though). This game will always have a special place in my heart.
The blue sparks of a drift turning into a mini-turbo. Proof that Pacific Rim was onto something when they say two people in perfect sync are "Drift Compatible".
Also, I had Charles Martinet autograph my copy of this!
Double dash is definitely my favourite mario kart. My brothers and I played this game so much when we were younger.
Mario Kart Double Dash was the first game I ever played, so I already approve of this video. The fact that Austin Creed is here is just icing on the cake 😁
One of the most satisfying things in mario kart double dash with a partner (my sister) was the super boost start it felt so good doing that and discovering it was even cooler.
Playing Mario Kart Double Dash with my cousin and working together to get 1st place honestly gives me Snipperclips vibes
Man GameCube games were instant classics unrivaled even today.
the couch co-op fun i had back in the day with friends with this one was definitely some of the fondest memories in gaming for me. I've always loved the double racers and character specific special items. It gave meaning and strategy to who you selected other than weight.
"I'm glad we could knock this one out together".... Phrasing!
My dad was never was a gamer but he loved this game and it gave us something to play together and it was amazing. He played so much he was the best also, by himself he would delete the save game and have it completed by the end of the day
I agree with them on what they said in this. Double Dash was the Mario game that not only introduced me to the Mario Kart franchise, but the Super Mario franchise in general when I was a little kid.
5:38 “Mario Kart Double Dash is the greatest Mario Kart of All-Time” a more truer statement has never has never been spoken.
You should do a completionist episode of Mario Kart Wii because I personally find it just as satisfying to complete as Double Dash.
