Yeah but the reason why he says it’s pointless is because it doesn’t actually register as a lap so if you do it you’re gonna have to do the lap all over again
You know, ever since this game has been released, there's been a weird glitch where Nintendo has refused to ever acknowledge Mission Mode ever again It's really unfortunate...
Fun Fact: If you play Balloon Battle while on an airplane, you will automatically have the max number of balloons available at any given time without touching any buttons.
Fun fact if you blow in the mic it will blow up your balloons and it works faster then pressing and holding buttons. So what is happening in the airplane is that the mic percieves sound (might be out of your hearing range tough) and thinks your blowing in the mic, and it acts accordingly, blowing up your balloons for you. But since the sound isnt stopping it also wont stop blowing up balloons untill youve either reached the 3 balloons limit (tough you can get up to 5 if you steal balloons with mushrooms) or you dont have any balloons left to inflate
@@jismeraiverhoeven Not entirely correct, you can still only have three baloons. If you try to steal one using a mushroom when you already have three baloons, the fourth will simply fly away.
The Rainbow Road in Mario Kart DS would've been perfect as a retro course in Mario Kart 8 because of the anti-gravity potential but oh well. Mods are always a thing, I guess.
I would have loved hearing a remastered version of the MKDS Rainbow Road theme in MK8. Thankfully, a RUclipsr *named Panman14 came in clutch: ruclips.net/video/nw9XF2phfeY/видео.html

Mario kart ds is one of my favorite games of all time. This video feels like a nostalgia trip and just looking at it helps me relive my find memories with it. Thank you.
Dude I’m so happy to see you’re back, unfortunately I don’t think a single one of these glitches where even remotely interesting, just a collection of out of bounds falls...
Oh god, when I heard the title theme nostalgia hit me harder than a Blue Shell. I remember playing this game all the time as a kid. And then I lost the game card Haven’t found it since, and I also haven’t gotten a second one Oof
I have two "childhood fever dreams" that have to do with this game it would be nice if any of you could confirm or deny this. I was very little so keep that in mind. The first one: I was playing as Bowser and was around 5th place, then Peach speeds up and starts driving next to me, then she says "excuse me..." before bumping into me and taking the lead. The second one (this one is REALLY weird): I unlocked the Yoshi Circuit for the first time and when I get to the part that is supposed to be Yoshi's arm (the shortcut you can take by using a mushroom) ALL the computer players start falling into the water, as if they were trying to do the shortcut without the shroom. This only happened once and it was only on my first time playing, I was Yoshi on the Egg1 in a 50cc Grand Prix. Do these ring a bell to any of you? Tell me what you think!
@@ITNODove I played the game recently and when Peach passes you she just chears for herself. I also forgot to say that after she passed me she said "Thank you"
It’s a bit odd that it isn’t in there since it doesn’t “cost” anything to add. Maybe he is worried that these aren’t real episodes while covid is going on, but they’re still numbered episodes of glitches under the same name. Hopefully it comes back in the next one!
8:05 mario kart maps are cut up into segments and are divided by checkpoints, the game checks to see if you hit these checkpoints and if you skip them you cannot progress.
You guys really need to just check your damn subscriptions feed. I don't get notified, but I actually bother to check my sub feed instead of waiting for RUclips pick my videos for me.
2:58 uhh me and my cousin found this out like ten years ago! oh god i forgot about that one we also had a lot of fun trying to go out of bounds in different locations lmao
The lap count discrepancies are down to the Mario kart checkpoint system. Depending on where you are on track the game pre loads the your current checkpoint, and the ones directly in front and behind you. By driving off at that fence and then going backwards you glitch the checkpoint system where it thinks you are still in the point just passed the finish line even though you aren't. By then turning around after the tunnel you've activated the checkpoint passed the one where you initially drove into the water and so confuse the game into thinking you completed lap 1 when you technically haven't. It was for this reason many of the super shortcuts in Mario Kart Wii are possible
@@charKT-7461 easy for you. I still have trouble hearing it. It also doesn't help that I don't know or don't remember what the star sound is in Mario Kart DS.
0:58 totally pointless, but maybe in the future try to keep quiet for a second so we can hear the glitch happen. Love the videos, just giving you a heads up :)
*A Lakitu flies up to a Koopa.* Lakitu: Hey, are you a lackey? Koopa: Yeah why? Lakitu: Oh! I'm a Lackey too! This is basically the Mario version of "How do you get Pikachu on a bus? You Poke 'im on!"
I remember a time when I was playing ds air ship, a Monty mile knocked me off the track and lakitu kept spawning me over respawn points, so I was Infinitely respawning, but it's been a long time so I dont remember it that well
So glad you mentioned the pinball super jump aswell, I remember finding that one as a kid and spending hours just trying to see how far I could bounce away and if there was any way I could drive out of the track... Good times
I discovered the Yoshi Circuit "lap skip" back in 2013, long after I'd figured everyone stopped playing the game and uploaded the first RUclips video of it. Glad to see this glitch is being popularized and executed today!!
Yo you might remember me from your streams, well this was my very first ever Nintendo game ever Edit: and also the rainbow road glitch I’ve known when I was little

It's not hard to do if you play a lot. I've done it a few times as well. Very frustrating if it happens during a difficult race.

Probably copyright. Nintendo are assholes
That's A+Start's style, he loads his videos with constant high-energy talking. It can be relentless but I kinda like that.
I heard it
I think maybe it’s because of Nintendo’s copyright crap...
So
A+Start, every time he tells us a glitch: "is it useless? YES! :D"
Like all of your attacks against people who has the ability to reflect any projectiles
