I remember having these. I had a lot of anger issues as a kid so my dad bought me most of my sets whenever I did good in school. My parents were divorced by this time so whenever I hung out with my dad we’d spend a lot of time building these. I too got the bowser’s castle ultimate building set for Christmas as well as the track expansion, Mario vs chain chomp, yoshi wild wing, Mario and DK beach race, and Luigi vs fire cogs on separate occasions, and eventually the wario vs penguin set on another Christmas. I got an end of the school year present in the form of the Mario circuit ultimate building set, for some reason that was always the one I wanted most out of all the sets. I remember my mom’s boyfriend at the time (she dumped him thankfully) tried shaming me when my dad bought me princess peach in the birthday kart, and I just sat there like “haha peach goes vroom vroom” just to piss him off even further. I had so many memories with these and I’m actually currently on a hunt to get all the sets I didn’t have as a kid. eBay and Mercari have become my best friends essentially
Tbh, this vid was one of the reasons I got into Knex, and I haven't looked back since. Thanks for making such an engaging video, thoroughly explaining why Knex is so beloved by many.

Dude, DUDE, are we the SAME PERSON?! Liking Mariokart and Legos, liking the goomba obstacle for some reason, making crappy videos with movie maker of the tracks I built, discovering youtube during my knex phase, feeling like knex dropped off after they started covering other mario games, and the list goes on. Literally everything you said in this video applied to me too. I'm sad I never saw this video before because I think it's a masterpiece that really encapsulates what it was like being in the mariokart knex community 10 years ago. This is how I started my love for content creating. I've moved on to other creative endeavors on youtube but man, this knex stuff was a lot of fun and a HUGE part of my childhood. (btw, that's me on the bottom right at 4:30)
Yeah, its nice to have a small community of k'nex track creators, even if we can never live up to be as good as some of people like knex track master, but as a knex track creator, its still fun to make them, and tons of fun
I remember I had the Mario Bike one. My uncle bought me and my cousin one each, it was my first set. Then I got the Wingcar (idk) and that one was my favorite. I’ll never forget that. Those were truly the days
Man, I LOVED super Mario and Mario kart knex as a kid. To bad I eventually through them all away. I only have one knex super mario set left that’s currently in my bedroom.
These toys were literally my childhood, O had so many memories with these sets and watching games tons of videos! It’s so cool to see someone make a high quality videos of these! This is probably the most relatable video I’ve ever watched! Very well made and funny, and I hope you continue to grow improve and develop your own identity!
I woke up this morning not knowing Mario K'nex existed. Now I know Mario K'nex exists. Finally some fulfillment in my life! Great video by the way, your jokes just keep getting better and better!
Just found your channel while searching for Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit. I also just recently rediscovered K'nex Trackmaster and binged all his videos lol. Anyway, nice video.
This truly is a great video! I see you used one of mine from about a year ago, thx for giving credit in the description! Edit: No joke, Windows Movie Maker is the main editing software I've been using since the very beginning of my channel!
Tanto64 Anytime pal, keep up the good work! And I must say I’m impressed by how much you’ve been able to pull off in your videos with movie maker! I don’t think it’s a bad editing software, it’s just very limiting in my opinion
I find it very limiting, especially when you can't add many special effects, or even animating facial expressions. That's exactly what I use MS paint (yes, MS frickin Paint) for. But hey, at least I'm able to record voice clips in Movie Maker
There was a brief time I was a Knextuber along with making LEGO videos and I had the expansion track. Problem was, most of my cars were the bikes or pullback cars, which couldn't even lap around an oval once. Eventually I did get a battery operated car but currently all the Knex pieces are in storage.
I remember always asking for Mario Kart K’nex sets for birthdays/holidays Oh what joy those days were, building nonsensical tracks all afternoon in my basement I acquired a lot of characters from exclusive sets, such as Bowser, Toad, DK, Wario, which were pretty cool I still have an entire tub just full of track pieces and broken apart traps ._.
Oh, we're still around alright! (I am taking a small hiatus atm unfortunately XD) The K'nex community is still alive and well and has no plans of leaving anytime soon, thank you for making this video my guy!
I still have a crap ton of Mario kart k’nex tracks from when I was younger. I frickin loved this. Only issue is that my parents beat the shit outta me when they woke up to a Mario kart track in their home. Luckily, I got the Luigi wild wing. Super F*ing cool.
Awe crap, I'm about to spend alot of money soon. I am now interested in these again, so I am gonna probably lose some money. But the sets are very affordable nowadays, so :)
I was very into Mario Kart Wii k'nex as well! The quality of this video was soooo goooood! Surprised you only have the amount of subs you have! Wow! Keep up the amazing work! You have a new sub!
Nice video, im happy someone is giving knex the love it deserves! I had so many of both Mario Kart Wii & Super Mario knex sets. Though my personal favorite will always be the 3D Land Bowser's Castle set, I loved all the sets i had regardless. Sadly I don't have them anymore. I did eventually grow out of them, though i wish I never threw them away since I guess im starting to feel nostalgic over things i grew up with lol. Hopefully someday we do get a mario kart maker.
I recently was playing MKWii again and I just had to bust out my k’nex Mario Kart Wii Sets! I seem to be missing a large part of my collection tho so I’ll have to do some digging, but with the stuff I did find, me and my boi built a pretty dope track! Glad I found this vid I’m definitely gonna look into the creators you mentioned!
I remember before I got some of these I wanted one so badly, now I have a few but I don’t really use them. I also wish I could get the rest of the knex toads, like yellow, blue and green toad, but...well, I’ll just say that he was right about them being expensive
i remember these i only have the yoshi set ( not the one with the p wing kart but with the sprinter kart ) for tracks and some of the buildable kart and bike sets they were fun and i really wanted to get more tracks but at the time i could not. I may go out and buy some more even though the prices are gonna be nuts
Yeah, the k'nex community still exists! There's only like 10 or so active channels now though, and K'nex Trackmaster is the only active k'nex channel with over 1k subs; Trackmaster actually recently created a discord server though, so there's still hope for the community to grow again. K'nex hasn't released anything since 2017, and apparently the reason why is they got bought by a different company in 2018, and that different company hasn't done anything since, and Nintendo's partnering with Lego didn't help. This was a really high quality video, and as a huge k'nex fan myself it was nice seeing someone make a retrospective? is that what you call it? video, and a well-edited and entertaining one at that, especially since the current community isn't the size it once was. The track you built was cool, too. also wow... I think you're the first person to ever try actually putting a k'nex kart on the real road, I've certainly never seen anyone else on RUclips do that. Yo what would be really cool is if the Mario Kart Live Home Circuit karts fit on k'nex tracks; a first person view and interactive races on tracks sounds like a dream come true
The community has done a lot of innovative things, including building a track all around a house, put boss fights in the races, and even incorporate gliding, underwater, and anti-gravity!
i had a mario biker(useless on track) toad pull back kart(sorta usless) and a chain chomp set but i lost it. mario kart home circuit made me remember this Edit: I lost my chain chomp at my old house. Still have the box
@@liltoad9050 yeah I’m pretty sure they did... you could print out the road texture and put it on the back of the box I think. Never did it when I was younger but it looked cool 🤷♂️
I really wish I had some of these The traps seem really fun to use and making your own track seems awesome If anyone knows where you can get them for a low price please let me know
it actually makes me a little sad to come across this video, like it and then realize that the last video was over a year ago. i just discovered you but hope you doin good
Nice vid!
It’s you!!
Yes, he even advertised this video on his discord server!
Love your vids
Remember it’s me
RIP K'nex Mario Kart. you will be remembered by people selling you on ebay without half of the pieces.
I watched way too many of these when I was younger
Same
Scott The Woz alternate universe
thats what I thought
Hell yeah
Love ur pfp
He sound just like him
Losing my Knex luigi wild wing made me feel depressed back when i was 5 year old child
Rip

Don't say that. One day, you can be just as good as Knex Trackmaster, or even better.
Hey I wanna these on eBay u think eBay a good site?
@@Kay_prov56 sadly ebay is the only place you can really get knex stuff at a good price anymore
@@Obby_MB soo u think they scam people or nah ?
@@Obby_MB cause my budget is 250 to 300
Lego also sued Nintendo in the 1970s when they released their version in Japan called NB Blocks.
Lego also lost that lawsuit.
I was absolutely obsessed with this stuff when I was younger. That donut you made is the ultimate racetrack by the way

I used to have some of these as a kid but I never have enough track to make a good track. I also used to watch a bunch of those videos as well
Used to have this as a kid. Also at first I thought this was Scott the Woz.
Just found your channel while searching for Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit. I also just recently rediscovered K'nex Trackmaster and binged all his videos lol. Anyway, nice video.
Aw yes I remember these very well, and the pain worse than stepping on a lego. Good times.
Perfect. All my thoughts in one video. Subscribed
I love this video 😂 and it’s kinda relatable, u earned a sub😊
You just made me pull out my knex and make a track thanks for bringing back my childhood
Scott the Woz mini
That's pretty much what I thought too!
Same!
Havent made videos on Knex in years but its fun going back and seeing the community still going after all this time. Cool video, subbed.

Mario grew up so fast... it took him only 8 minutes to learn how to drive on a *real road*- wait MARIO WATCH OUT FOR THAT CAR-
Dang I forgot I had these! I think I had the Mario and yoshi ones I think, but they were given away before a move :( Nice video!
Oof, yeah I had a lot of my toys given away before my family moved a while ago too :/ Thankfully my knex were spared!
5:58 - LOL
No joke, I was looking forward to seeing how that was going to turn out. Instead of being surprised, I laughed my behind off.
2:43 The BIGGEST Mario Kart track K’nex ever made
Never owned them, but after watching this. Yeah I’m still good but nice vid!
I remember always asking for Mario Kart K’nex sets for birthdays/holidays
Oh what joy those days were, building nonsensical tracks all afternoon in my basement
I acquired a lot of characters from exclusive sets, such as Bowser, Toad, DK, Wario, which were pretty cool
I still have an entire tub just full of track pieces and broken apart traps ._.
You are genuinely funny and relatable. Good stuff :] new sub
These sets were amazing
Oh, we're still around alright! (I am taking a small hiatus atm unfortunately XD) The K'nex community is still alive and well and has no plans of leaving anytime soon, thank you for making this video my guy!
Just found your channel! This video has a style reminiscent of Scott the Woz videos, so I'm subbing!
I loved how mario was running with his kart in the intro
I still have a crap ton of Mario kart k’nex tracks from when I was younger. I frickin loved this. Only issue is that my parents beat the shit outta me when they woke up to a Mario kart track in their home. Luckily, I got the Luigi wild wing. Super F*ing cool.
I owned some of the sets and they were dope. really good video.
didn't know Nathaniel Bandy went back in his age
This channel deserves to be big.
I love the scott the woz type humor so much
Awe crap, I'm about to spend alot of money soon. I am now interested in these again, so I am gonna probably lose some money. But the sets are very affordable nowadays, so :)
This was the home circuit of my childhood
I was very into Mario Kart Wii k'nex as well! The quality of this video was soooo goooood! Surprised you only have the amount of subs you have! Wow! Keep up the amazing work! You have a new sub!
Dang, this video and channel needs more views and subs. This is great!
I'm glad i found your channel

I always watch this, and i watched all the youtuber and still knex trackmaster.
Not sure if you still making videos but these are amazing
If it weren’t for this video I wouldn’t have found you plus this was so nostalgic to relive a part of my childhood
I recently was playing MKWii again and I just had to bust out my k’nex Mario Kart Wii Sets! I seem to be missing a large part of my collection tho so I’ll have to do some digging, but with the stuff I did find, me and my boi built a pretty dope track! Glad I found this vid I’m definitely gonna look into the creators you mentioned!
Thank You, this video is basically the reason I bought one of these on Ebay!
I HAD THE STONE BOWSER ONE WHEN I WAS AROUND 6 YEARS OLD AND I FORGOT ABOUT IT TYSM FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO
I can never forget the day I got Mario and the thwomps set and from then on not only was I hooked on these but Mario himself
I remember these! I never actually got any, but they looked cool and I enjoyed the RUclips videos about these.
you made me check the only knex set i had as a kid, and it has a cracked track piece, i don't know how it happened XD
I remember before I got some of these I wanted one so badly, now I have a few but I don’t really use them. I also wish I could get the rest of the knex toads, like yellow, blue and green toad, but...well, I’ll just say that he was right about them being expensive
I still have all of mine locked away in a closet somewhere, collecting dust.
I’m about to buy these for my cousin cause his pops died so I wanna cheer up him you think u think I can get these off of eBay ?
You have set Mario free now he is going to commit mass genocide on the new Mario LEGOs because the K'nex were infinity better. Really nice video btw.
You kinda remind me of Scott The Woz but more tame
This was my childhood! And this reminds me of a Scott the woz video...
I still have 3 big tracks sealed. Figured i need a lot of space to play with this properly
i remember these i only have the yoshi set ( not the one with the p wing kart but with the sprinter kart ) for tracks and some of the buildable kart and bike sets they were fun and i really wanted to get more tracks but at the time i could not. I may go out and buy some more even though the prices are gonna be nuts
Oof, good luck! I recommend checking ebay, you might be able to find some used sets there for a reasonable price.

Edit: I lost my chain chomp at my old house. Still have the box
Oof yeah I had a Mario biker too but I lost most of it so I couldn’t really show it in the video. Hope you find your chain chomp set!
@@FonderAxe I still have the pieces in the lego box I own. But did the biker box sets advertise to use the box as a ramp if I remember
@@liltoad9050 yeah I’m pretty sure they did... you could print out the road texture and put it on the back of the box I think. Never did it when I was younger but it looked cool 🤷♂️
remember when i said i had no mk knex? now i am getting a battery powerd toad and a pullback mario
I have a tiny square shaped custom track in my room .-.
This guy deserve 1 mil subs
his videos editing skills are on point but is too good to be only 2515 views
Great video!
Your comedy and style reminds me of a lot of Scott the woz but it’s still funny
k but the fire cogs were AWESOME
Hell yeah they were!
Great job.
I never even heard of these, but I wish I had them when I was a teenager
God I miss these
When You loke K'nex but You only have 2 Characters and No véhicule.
I wish they would bring these mario kart knex back
Me too 😔
What I would give to go back in time.
I had all of the sets when I was younger
I really wish I had some of these
The traps seem really fun to use and making your own track seems awesome
If anyone knows where you can get them for a low price please let me know
You could try eBay if you don’t mind buying used.
@@FonderAxe thanks for the idea
Unfortunately I can only use amazon though I'm definitely fine with used ones
Still...thank you very much😁
ur so lucky i have no knex mario kart i just started getitng into these
who else still has these?
didnt know shitendo had lego stuff🍻👍
