I think it would be cool if you could put a blue shell behind you to protect yourself from other blue shells, that would make having a blue shell in first actually useful
i think to make 8s work you'd need to pair it with an item that prefers to be even further back. based on what I could find on the Mario wiki, the best item for that is lightning
the crazy 8s don't work like you know them in Custom items. If you choose one item that comes from the crazy 8 with the crazy 8, and you pull the crazy 8, then 8 of the selected single item will come up. if you select 2 items it will be 4 4 and so on and so on
The crazy eight does work it just is very rare to get and I think you were actually to far behind. Plus how it works is that whatever item you pick it gives eight of that item. For example if you picked coin with crazy eight and then got the crazy eight you would just have eight coins. If you want to have the full crazy eight you would have to pick all the items in the crazy eight and the crazy.
I have a theory on the crazy 8 item. Game sees all other items turned off so has no clue what to do since the crazy 8 item includes items that are turned off. That said, if you really want to test crazy 8, use the priority method. Someone in 1st for example never gets the blue shell, try with blue shell and crazy 8s only and see if it gives you 8 blue shells or how it reacts
Battle mode with only feathers is basically Joust. It actually kinda makes the gameplay more like traditional Mario considering you essentially need to jump on enemies.
Not being able to change the items in a race is why I don't play that often. I know it's all the fun for some people, but I want tactical focused races
My guess with the 8 item is that because it's a combination of eight other items, it needs those items to exist in order to spawn. The reason it makes you enable at least one of item is for error-handling, so you don't pick up null item boxes and break the game. Mushrooms seem to be the default item when nothing is found, which is why the boos were conjuring up mushrooms and why only crazy 8s also caused mushrooms to be enabled. One way to test this would be to see if 8s start appearing when all their constituent items are enabled.
There are two mechanics in MK8D that makes the Crazy 8 not spawn in this video. The first is the item camping lockout. The game will not give you anything but the most common items if you hit the same set of item boxes multiple times in a row. Basically, you can get two items from each set and then it's banana peels and green shells. The second is the race end lockout. About half a minute after 1st place finishes the race, all the good item are taken out of the item pool.
I remember blooper normally already not being very good but they were even worse in mario kart 7 because you could litherally just get rid of the ink early by blowing into the mic
The lucky 8 can spawn only the 8 items that it normally supports. That is Coin, Mushroom, Banana, Green shell, Red shell, Blooper, Bomb, Star. No Blue shell, no Fire flower, no nothing. So, lucky 8 can give you 8 Mushrooms for example spinning around you thus you'll not know if someone got it except if you see the 8 items spinning
Strat to win Blue Shells only: For all laps except the last lap, stay away from first place. Maybe be in 5th or 6th. When it’s the last lap, stay near 1st place, so be in 2nd or 3rd. When 1st is about to win, just dash past them.
I think that with only coins when you get the crazy 8 it’s just 8 coins (also yeah you have to be within a certain distance range of the 1’st player to get it)
Well boos cant steal boos, so they give you mushrooms instead. If the game cant do something with only that item, they will give a mushroom in its place because the mushroom is the default item.
Raysfire's thorough experimentation, data analysis, and external source researching, concludes that the "8" item is a scam. Such an ominous and unhinged thing to do, John Nintendo.
I think the 8 item is not its own thing, it just randomly picks one of the other items available. That's why it made you turn one on, and there was no reason to get it if you would only spin mushroom or coin. Try with like 3 other items turned on. Also: I have on multiple occasions green shelled myself, and have also had the "Who's in first? Wait, I am" moment.
my top items for this challenge were:
- blooper
- lightning bolt
- bullet bill
- blue shell
- banana peels
- fire flower
which were your favorites? 🤔
blue. I am normal what do you wxpect
BLOOBA
Triple greens
blue shell
Blooper should just be a character smh
raysfire the kind of guy to blue shell himself in first place
I think it would be cool if you could put a blue shell behind you to protect yourself from other blue shells, that would make having a blue shell in first actually useful
I take it you didn’t know about the ridiculously optimized speedrun category of “Blue Yourself”?
@@xraenon1664 yay
@@xraenon1664 remember watching a video about the history of “Blue Yourself” runs. Really cool category.
I played with only blue shells once hit myself one time never did it again

@@JaneJosieElizabeth so a star then i guess?
@@oinkymomo if you only put crazy 8s on with a star, if you get a crazy 8, the 8 items will only be stars.
@@JaneJosieElizabeth mostly in terms of it has lower priority than 8 close to the front and is actually in the normal 8
you can only get crazy 8 when you’re in 8th place
I really like how you highlighted the chat message you responded to, great editing on this video. Keep it up!
I’d love to see this with many tracks. I know you used baby park for accuracy but still
Maybe Excite Bike Arena next?
Man really just released the blooper pooper onto the opponents right in front up
Amazing stuff, gonna tap the funny bell icon now :)

Wow, this is the first rays intro with painted nails! Is it going to be the first of many? Rays kinda suits it
The Crazy 8 is just rare, and it turns out with Mushrooms you also get coins with it
Battle mode with only feathers is basically Joust.
It actually kinda makes the gameplay more like traditional Mario considering you essentially need to jump on enemies.
I found the Most Powerful Longhorn Gaming Items. They're not what you'd expect.
Which Longhorn Gaming Item is the Most Powerful? It’s not what you think.
Double whammy
mk has added a new stat for invisibility frames so some charecters can tank more blue shells then others
I don’t have anger issues but doing a one item challenge would put me in anger management
Not being able to change the items in a race is why I don't play that often. I know it's all the fun for some people, but I want tactical focused races
I was not expecting this but actually a great video idea
11:41 The best part was when the bullet bill crissed the line.

Stars only can be interesting on certain maps (off road shortcuts), but those maps are not that common in Mario Kart 8

Don't forget that if you combine an item with the crazy 8 you'll be able to get that item 8 times at once!
12:38 Good thing you picked baby park. :)
With the 8 item, you actually have to have 8 items or more activated at once
Dude I love the MK8 content, such a great addition to your channel
Rays is a true gamer, stunlocking CPUs in Mario Kart 💯
12:03 it does, you slip out wider or tider with a blooper on you

Coin onoy is essentially a a pure race / no items race

i'm gonna turn on only blue shells next time i play with my sister without telling her and see how long it takes for her to yell at me lol
Cant believe Mario would lie like this in his own racing game....
abt the thing with the stick accelerating, you can use the dpad to turn and u can also use y to accelerate
Finally, potassium gets the recognition it deserves (unless the thumbnail is a lie)
Turn on the 8 and some other rare items, maybe that'll work.
Mushroom in battle is just as horrible/great as a feather
Custom items are sooooo fun
Lightning and William
Also, 18:38 One of the comments killed me
My favorite will always be the star man because once used you'll be invincible.
hth did that bomb get there 8:15
Is it just me or was this "new" item choosing ability always available???
Only for certain specific items (like shells, bananas, and Bob-Ombs)
Really dig the claws youre rocking here
All fun and games until rayswater pulls up
I think that with only coins when you get the crazy 8 it’s just 8 coins (also yeah you have to be within a certain distance range of the 1’st player to get it)
Yeah I always do baby park with all Bob omb
6:03 blue yourself world record
Can’t you only get crazy eigh in eighth place? Or was that just crazy seven in Mario kart 7
8 is real, but I have only got one once on koopa cape. the other items were golden mushroom,star,and william. Note that i was playing with my dad.
Crazy 8 would make this crazy
Yes rays
I liked the part when William
the blue shells 😭😭
OMG it's a video that doesn't have to do with Mario Maker!!
I’d your in 1st and throw a blue shell does it go around the track and then hits you 🤔
are you done with mario maker videos?
Don't you only get junk items when grabbing from the same row more than twice?
For the 8 to work being in 8th place is best.
if you have epilepsy, skip the blue shell part
Outstanding content as usual mr fire
Shudhead checking in
PLAY GARFIELD KART PLEASE
more mario kart content!
12:35 pov Splatoon
Finally someone who agrees that 2nd place is losing
Finally, no coin items in mario kart 8.
Image if there was triple blue shells in the game
Piranha plant. More like jig of the puma plant.
Rays! You should beat Mario Kart 8 Deluxe using only Labo!
11:39 - 11:44 It's literally NASCAR
this content is huge
rays grindel
Baby park in a nutshell
The 8 is real one time my sister got it I guess it’s just very rare to get because that’s the only time I saw the 8
me who alr watch alpharad do only blue shells
You should do crasy 8 and stars so the crasy eight will give you 8 stars
Obviously, it's the coin.
My favorite was blue shell
The 8 is rair
highest chance of crazy 8 is on 8th place
may be a bug but the mushroom is no matter what on
Well boos cant steal boos, so they give you mushrooms instead. If the game cant do something with only that item, they will give a mushroom in its place because the mushroom is the default item.

Raysfire painted nails arc?

btw i once got an 8 in coin and 8 only and i had 8 coins around me lol
I got the eight with custom mode and I chose eight with coins and when I got the eight it just gave me eight coins!!!!😂
Ye was obvious on blue shell that cpu was on easy. No way you getting blue shelled 20 times and say 1st whole race.
I have got 8!!!!!!!!!!
I think the 8 item is not its own thing, it just randomly picks one of the other items available. That's why it made you turn one on, and there was no reason to get it if you would only spin mushroom or coin. Try with like 3 other items turned on.

Wow, I'm early! Amazing video as always.
What the heak
OOOO for the algorithm
The Blue Shells were Chaotic
Nintendo should Add Triple Blue Shells
When it is at 999 likes
you can only get the 8 item if you’re in 8th place
