WoL without attacking?! I beat the game without getting hit, and I don't even know how you're gonna do that. I'm gonna be sure to appear at that stream.
Yeah he should’ve used Dk waluigi wiggler or Roy with gold kart master cycle zero sneaker wood tires slim tires crimson slim tires and gold glider plane glider wario wing and paraglider
This guy is so painfully underrated. Deserves at least a million subs for his entertaining personality and actually funny humor. I have a blast every time I watch one of his videos.
3:25 Can you beat Super Mario Galaxy without using your HANDS?! Also yes, i LOVE this video idea, and would LOVE to see more! There are 5 Rainbow Roads in this game now right? That'll be a challenge eventually
Perhaps collecting coins whenever possible may also help! They increase your top speed and essentially your boost speed, which might help you reach some item sets sooner!
OMG I love Drift by Creo, that song during shy guy falls, also I love this guy so much keep it up because your stuff actually makes me laugh, like how absurd I thought the odds are against you, you always figure out some way to get around it!
5:31 Aren't the actual Koopalings the OG Koopalings? Cause the Koopalings were introduced in Super Mario Bros 3 while Bowser Jr was introduced in Super Mario Sunshine
I think its funny that the golden mushroom finally got its opportunity to be the best item, and it still can screw you over if it doesn't run out in time. Also I love hearing Creo's music in videos!
I was thinking the same thing! and also that the gas pedal/accelerator are used to reverse a vehicle.. the challenge is moreso "without pressing the A button"
I feel like this challenge can be fairly optimized if u plan to tackle the rest of the game, such as using bullets since they are slightly rarer than goldens and bots won’t be pulling them that much. Secondly, DLC characters from MK8DX don’t have rivals so potentially it could make bots a little bit easier, as if not mistaken it’s just randomly assigned and the lightweight computers would have less speed making goldens slightly worse. Lastly, if u hop while driving you accelerate slightly faster than just holding down the A/B button, and it is especially noticeable when using a mushroom. It would be helpful to gain a little more distance when backing up at the start and would make goldening slightly more effective as u spend less time accelerating and more time at top speed. Overall great video and hope u plan to continue with the rest of the cups
Wow, that's a ton of useful strats and ideas. Thanks! Seems like there's a decent amount of demand to do the other cups, so I'll try to get to that eventually.
Glad I can help, another thing that flew past my mind is the idea of using motion controls on top of regular driving. It’s a weird mechanic that allows a strat called “Motion Gliding” where you hold 2 directions via motion and joystick (and dpad as well) to turn at even sharper angles and gain more vertical momentum. It’s mostly useful for glider sections (it saves like a good second on Mario Kart Stadium per lap) and I’m pretty sure that it works when driving (although from some quick testing it only maybe helps when drifting but worth a shot).
Bullet bills are good normally, but I wouldn't have any control while using them, so I could unintentionally end up in bad situations after using one. That's why I opted for the 100% control of gold mushrooms.
4:58 The Koopalings, also known as Bowser's Minions in the British English versions of some games, and in certain American works as the Koopa Kids, are a seven-member clan of recurring enemies in the Super Mario franchise, portrayed as siblings[1][2] who act as leaders of Bowser's Minions under Bowser. Individually, they are named Larry, Morton, Wendy, Iggy, Roy, Lemmy, and Ludwig. *Although Bowser Jr. is not a member of the Koopalings,* they sometimes act as his personal minions.
YEAH!!! I totally wana see the later cups, it would be so cool to se the full run, i'm sharing this with all my friends, and if all your content is this amazing, then you just earned a subscriber!!!
A little tip! If you hold A + B and steer left/right, you can turn around 180° much faster! I mean, technically you’re pressing the A button, but in-game you aren’t moving forward. I hope you consider this, but I completely understand if this is a no go. Love this idea and great video, man! :D
Thanks! I knew about this and considered using it, but because it involves accelerating and braking simultaneously, I considered it against the rules and spirit of the challenge. Also if I did allow it, I would need frame-perfect inputs to make sure I never press the A button alone.
Saying you aren't moving forward is also a bit of a lie, because unlike every other Mario Kart with this trick, Mario Kart 8 has your kart slowly drive forward during a spin turn.
Here are some more I came up later: Beating Cuphead with 2 players but you control both and none can die Beating Mario Odyssey without using Cappy Beating PvZ2 without any plants being destroyed or eaten And Beating a mario game without using power ups, captures, yoshi or any other mechanic that involves using something you don’t start off with
Every time I see a new video, I follow the following emotional roller coaster. Drengodr new video! Working towards finishing a previous challenge video? Nope it’s a new one. I suppose I’ll watch it anyway. Wow what a great challenge video, can’t wait for him to continue. The result ends up being a ton of challenges that I can’t wait to see the end result of, and it really engages me to stick around for longer. Good videos man
@@DrengodrUnless they're like a spoiled child who/whom hasn't learned about human limits, right? BTW, I'm not calling Hanjo or anybody spoiled. It's just a response to your "wanting more > wanting less" phrase. But yeah. In this context, it is better.
I would love to see you convince other people to do the same thing and make a little mk8 deluxe tournament with these rules. I think it would be intresting to see what happens if everyone is bound by such rules
2:44 Woah! Face reveal! I'm glad you had a good time in Nintendo World. I just went there a couple of months ago, and it was genuinely amazing! Still had to pay taxes on my yoshi plush, though. (Stupid government). Jokes aside, that's super cool, and I wouldn't mind seeing more irl sections in the future (I don't mean to be weird or anything, but you are super cute), although the Drengodr avatar is freaking awesome. Ok, bye. Edit: What is this SLANDER at 18:18 . Absolutely unacceptable, the Lumario avatar is a national TREASURE. Is it a little weird? Maybe. Is it unnerving the first time you see it? Absolutely! But I think any REAL Drengodr fans have learned to look past the negatives and see what a truly beautiful piece of art this is!
@@metal_pipe9764 I mean like the sandbox challenge he did, but instead of electricity he can't use the wooden or metal boxes that hold stuff and most cars are made out of
as others have suggested going for a cart combo with high speed will help a lot, since your top speed in a bullet bill is affected by your top speed. also coins are incredibly important and getting to ten ASAP is a must for a challenge which naturally puts you so far back (the difference in speed between 0 and ten coins is like 20-ish percent).
MK8DX has brought so much joy to my gaming life and I love challenge runs of it. I even did my own where I had to get 1st place in each cup without drifting with the worst handling combo (Bowser+GLA+Monster Tires), Hard CPUs, and Normal Items. It was a fun time. Anyway, I would like to see you continue this challenge.
Im glad i stumbled across this video, it is great! Definitely gonna check out some more :) (also, would love to see you try rainbow road like this. I can barely beat it as is lmao)

Ok wow i owe lumario an apology, up until this point i had not seen the eldritch horror that is the mario on your channel banner and i fear i may never sleep again
Two ways to make this easier: 1. Get a higher speed stat so that you go faster in golden mushrooms. 2. Use double inputs to get through sharp turns. A problem with this challenge is the Grand Prix, it doesn't necessarily give Hard COMs
There is one track you can finish without modification, mute city gives you a boost right at the start of the course and with 200cc and all the boost pads and items you can clear the course on a semi consistent basis.
Just saw you talk about how you decided on a cart and thought id recommend for future mario kart related issues "Mario meets Pareto" that helps you find optimized karts for certain traits
I've played Sparks of Hope, so I'm basically immune to Luma-related affronts to nature. Plus, your avatar looks much less disturbing than a Rabbid Luma.
I know not accelerating at all is the challenge but i recently found out that the right control stick functions like the A and B button. would be a funny loophole if the objective was just to not press A

I like the new montage sections! And yeah, this challenge was awesome, I'd love to see another set of cups.
"The OG Koopaling" You know, that the Koopalings exist since 1988, right?
I feel like this challenge can be fairly optimized if u plan to tackle the rest of the game, such as using bullets since they are slightly rarer than goldens and bots won’t be pulling them that much.
Secondly, DLC characters from MK8DX don’t have rivals so potentially it could make bots a little bit easier, as if not mistaken it’s just randomly assigned and the lightweight computers would have less speed making goldens slightly worse.
Lastly, if u hop while driving you accelerate slightly faster than just holding down the A/B button, and it is especially noticeable when using a mushroom.
