Right, this is a very biased tier list. The man would have a much different ranking if he just played casual races with friends (which, let's be real, is the target audience of the game)
@@LiamDeege I've heard this before and I can't believe I'm still hearing it, since I've changed my username twice in that time lol. I was obsessed with his videos in 2015-2016, but I don't watch him nearly as much as I used to
As someone who has played mostly offline multiplayer, the shy guy beach crabs and bombs are probably the worst, I’ve had bombs drop on me in the middle of a race lol
@@koldonn1111 Wouldn't those things be intertwined? If the hazzard is more effective then you have to try harder to not get hit by it, and the track would become more difficult, so more experienced players can have more fun with it
I am shocked! Shocked and appalled by the utter disrespect given to these respectable stage hazards! Misnaming them... how cruel! 0:53 A bat?! Excuse me sir, that is a Swoop! 5:39 And that is a Sidestepper! 8:52 Monty Mole! 16:50 That's not just any cow, that is a Moo Moo! But aside from those injustices, great video! 😀
I don't understand why the cactus got C tier. Based on the rankings you gave to things in D and F tier, it actually should have gotten the worst ranking. You literally have to go off the track to hit it, and it's not in the way of any sort of short cuts or anything. I didn't even know you could hit those things and get damaged until I saw someone do it in a RUclips video. That's really the only ranking I disagree with though. The rest seem fine. I don't really care much about the hazards lol I just thought the cactus was a bizarre ranking compared to the rationale for some other rankings
wrong, there is a common (higher elo) shroomless turn skip where you fly by right next to a cactus, often times hitting it and thus failing the shortcut if you dont execute it perfectly
He did talk about the shortcut where you can hit them sometimes. It's probably mosty a time trial thing, given that's how a lot of the other hazards were ranked. I agree though, when I played this game as a kid I literally didn't know you could even hit stuff like that because it's not even on the track.
As someone who doesnt play this game often anymore but loved it as a kid and watches these vids out of nostalgia, I feel like I'm missing something. Is moonview that hated?! I love that map, its my favorite course in the game and the cars are a big part of that. It feels so good to just dodge all of them while taking all the drifts in between, its the first track I felt like I was a god on and still the one I'm best at 😂
dude whenever im doing a race on coconut mall, those stupid cars at the end always hit me and completely ruin my race. basically the only reason i lose on coconut mall is to those dang cars. im pretty sure those guys arent even legally allowed to drive too.
@@CohenTaylor-yz3lq yeah you're right I don't anymore. I still think however that the sir above is blaming the game instead of actively improving himself to be more capable of dodging the cars, seemingly going for boosts without a care for the risk of the cars that will be in the way.
While I can say thats a skill issue, I almost lost a race in mk7 to the coconut mall cars cuz I just kept running into them, luckily so did the cpu's so I still won
Useless fact: there is one lava pillar in grumble volcano. It is at the end of the first big right turn on the left. It only spawns after the rock on the left side falls. The rocks fall at 1 minute and the lava pillar spawns at 1 minute 30 seconds and every 15 seconds later. You’re welcome
I think the reason why it's normal to hit the Coconut Mall cars is because they come up right after a hard turn so you don't have much time to see where they are and steer out of the way
Shitting on Moonview Highway in general is vile. I genuinely lost my shit when it was rereleased in the BCP for MK8DX, I never would have expected it to come back but it did and I was so happy because it was one of my favorite Wii tracks. That said, Dry Dry Ruins and FUCKING TOADS FACTORY not coming back is criminal, cmon Nintendo.
The bats on dry dry ruins are 100000% more annoying that the Wario Goldmine ones - those things have bumped me off on the final ramp an unfathomable amount of times
I'd posit the big explodey Bowser fireball may well have been meant to indirectly encourage people to use the faster, less direct side routes. Especially if that track was introduced in the first game with jumpy-halfpipe shenanigans, it would make sense to me to attempt teaching players to use the new mechanic what got put in the game.
5:06 I can't believe he forgot that these cactus are in one of the battle maps and they are annoying because the borders are FULL of them it's easy to pop a ballon and lose coins when the Tromp hit the middle of the map and causes the sand to push you back
The best hazards imo are the coconutmall cars, and i'd say the minecarts in that one level I forgot the name of. And I personally hate the moon view highway hazards, and the snowboarder fellows.
29:17 I wasn't expecting to hear music from GBA Battle for Bikini Bottom, but I am thrilled that I am not the only one that likes the music from that game lol.
Couple of things I want to say. Mostly as a Kart main player. 1) MMM Lap 3 cows are the bane of my existence. They are right on the Kart line (just barely off the bike line), and make it really hard on TT. 2) MH Cars are slightly worse for Kart mains. Due to the pace required for good times, they only allow top lap 1 times through for Lap 2 cut (karts do 1-1-1, taking grass cut all three laps). Also, every now and again, the lap 1 one can squish despite you not even touching it when you are above it. 3) No bomb cars? (Also, they can be used offensively online if you throw a green shell at one.) 4) DC Cones are worse. Online they aren't that bad, but in TT, the tunnel ones are a nightmare, and the hairpin one on the racing lines are no better. Literally requires the pixel - perfect angle to hit them if you don't want to lose your drift (or slow down a lot). This is also why I am more than 3 seconds slower than Kart WR (despite the fact that I am using Dry Bowser FF, KWR uses Daisy WW). Yeah, that's about all I had to say.
Maybe its Mandela effect but i believe you can trick off the bombs before they explode on shy guy beach and that aspect i find super cool with a risk reward feature
Well the idea there is that there's nothing fundamentally wrong with how individual vehicles behave, they're just considered to be overtuned in their numbers
In online multiplayer lag can cause the game to think that a player in front of you triggered the bomb car even if they didn't, causing them to explode randomly
"It does it's job. I'm not quite sure what it's job is." Lol It's very cute and fun listening to your thought process. Also don't worry, I'm quite sure I'll be able to hit those oil spills 😄
I think the idea with the fireballs in (Wii) Bowser's castle is less gatekeeping a part of the track that they'd think is the fastest and more that the tracks are actively going to make you want new players to use the half pipe. The floor symbols are literally pointing to them, and even if the fireball was removed there's literally mud on the middle of the track so it'd still be slower. They're forcing players out of their comfort zone, which is good for leading up to rainbow road. In courses prior, they were more of a faster optional way to take the course or a slower route to get an extra item box, or in DK summit a path that sometimes has a hazard on it but has items and a speed boost. Not the main way to avoid the hazard. Does it add to the course? Yeah, it adds more to the actual track than the krabs or the rocks do, because it pressures new players into making tricky jumps over a bottomless pit rather than taking the slow and safe route through the mud, because taking the mud will get you hit. You can use a mushroom to get through the mud safely, but on its own that's an unusual use for the mushrooms, because usually mushrooms in MK courses are used for actual shortcuts rather than getting through a section like this without feeling the need to rely on your half-pipe skills. And making this "safe route" something you gotta do by staring danger in the face and using a mushroom? That's really cool for a special cup course. How many other bowser castle courses prior do things like this? Remember, N64 had the flamethrower instead. You could remove the rocks from DK mountain and the course wouldn't lose much personality. Removing the fireballs would gut this section of really anything that makes it feel cool. I do think I'd rate these hazards more on how much they add to the tracks and how much I'd miss them if they were gone, rather than how much I worry about the hazards.
I'm not someone who plays MK a lot, but as someone who played a lot of MK Wii with my siblings as a kid, I feel like the cars at the end of Coconut Mall weren't tricky bc they're slow, but bc they have such a massive hotbox, especially in comparison to how wide the track is
This is interesting because even if I don't play online things like those boxes break and in Bowsers Castle 3 item boxes do sometime appear instead of the lava bubbles
I HATE the cataquacks with a PASSION. Me and my brother have a wii mini that we played a lot in our childhood, it wasn’t connected to the internet so the cataquacks were the absolute worst. My brother got it back out recently of storage and I dread playing Peach Beach.
Hello bean, I am late to the video because i was in Chicago, glad to see your videos, I was trying go on the internet for a minimal the internet during the trip
Honorable mentions to the Bomb Car, Mechanical Piranha Plants (Waluigi Stadium), and the umbrella (Shy Guy Beach) Also wait, there’s only 2 oil puddles on MC3??? I thought there were at least 3
I think I would have separated the moving/stationary moles and crates, since they are almost a different hazard. (maybe Thwomps too) Also, the Raceway piranha plants could be B tier, if you take their potential for hiding bananas into account (especially on the last turn). Aside from that, I completely agree with this list! 👍
the bat slander will not be tolerated, they do their job perfectly. bats don’t attack humans because they can’t see. they “see” (with echo location) a threatening disturbance, all scurry out the cave, and just kinda slap into whatever is in their path.
The Bob-omb karts in Moonview Highway, the Piranha Plants in Waluigi Stadium and the umbrellas in Shy Guy Beach were the best hazards in this ranking imo 😂😂😂
I'd actually say the lava bubble is a good hazard for the same reason you said Qataquacks are. They should be annoying. Them coming up suddenly and stealing your jump makes them a good hazard. They certainly aren't my favourite, but they are a top tier in terms of being an actual hazard
Great video! I'm really loving the tier list videos. I'd consider the bats to be a C tier hazard due to it being possible to (sort of) weasle your way past on the right side of the entrance to the mine. If you know where the bats usually go, it shouldn't be too bad.

Am I going insane or is this comment getting longer
OGs also remember someone from long ago who loved oil patches if ya'll know what I mean
and people who like crabs
im one of them
I'm so exited for the next summoning salt vid to include you

I hate when I’m about to win the race and as I’m doing a trick a snowboarding shy guy, tells me, “nuh uh.”

Me: I can’t wait to see where the bomb car lands
Me 29 minutes and 43 seconds later: 🥲😭
He said right above the truck on another comment so there you go
Still stinks he forgot since it’s such an iconic hazard
As someone who has played mostly offline multiplayer, the shy guy beach crabs and bombs are probably the worst, I’ve had bombs drop on me in the middle of a race lol
the crabs are S tier, they just be chillin
the crabs are S cuz they’re assholes
It would if the tier list wasn't about how effective of a hazzard they are
@@metal_pipe9764Quality > Effectiveness.
The list should be about how much they contribute to the game experience.
@@koldonn1111 Wouldn't those things be intertwined? If the hazzard is more effective then you have to try harder to not get hit by it, and the track would become more difficult, so more experienced players can have more fun with it

I mean, those who have watched his vids since his early days would get that since the cones have killed him many times on Daisy Circuit
TWD98, eat your heart out😂😂😂
The ducks induced true fear in me as a child, yet I can't help but love them as a hazard lol
Cataquacks.
@@generalcrab0009Nobody gives a shit.
Seeing it written out, I'm not sure I realized it's a "pun" on cataracts? Like, you gotta be blind to miss them? 🤷♂️

He also mentioned the track ambiance as being a part of the consideration
Having only ever played multiplayer with my siblings - some of these low-rated hazards are BRUTAL
Bro when i was younger, i was SCARED of thwomps and chsin chops ti rhe point where i would refuse to play the tracks☠️☠️☠️
🧒
The massive Thwomp on Thwomp Desert scared me

the competitive spirit of online play causes great wrath towards moonview highway (and gba bowser castle 3 to an extent but that might just be me)
I really like the more atmospheric hazards that don’t often affect the race, the rare times they do are super funny.
The ducks always inconvenience you at the worst possible time
They're Cataquacks, get it right 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡👽
My favorite hazard is definitely the cars on Moonview highway! I love Moonveiw highway because the cars add such a THRILL!
The cow deserves at least A tier, it's so iconic.
Also, it happens to be my personal favorite, so there's that...

>MIDDLE B TIER!?
Well the idea there is that there's nothing fundamentally wrong with how individual vehicles behave, they're just considered to be overtuned in their numbers
I also want to point out that because I am a god at Moonview, the bomb cars are nothing to me, the odds of me hitting one are usually none.
r/iamverybadass
Copium
I'm pretty good at toads factory myself.
In online multiplayer lag can cause the game to think that a player in front of you triggered the bomb car even if they didn't, causing them to explode randomly
You forgot the chain chomps that move (without the chain) in Peach Gardens ! ! 😊
Most convoluted tier list ever
This is the one of the videos of all time
grumble volcano/block plaza falling thingys: am i a joke to you?
the bomb cars too
I’ve not played Mario kart wii much I’m excited to see this cause it’ll most likely be entertaining
Also amazing music at 0:22
The entire portion of my brain responisble for nostalgia erupted once I saw that oil spill texture.
Lets goo, bean uploaded, time to stop everything im doing
"It does it's job. I'm not quite sure what it's job is." Lol It's very cute and fun listening to your thought process. Also don't worry, I'm quite sure I'll be able to hit those oil spills 😄
As a statistician this distribution makes me very happy.
For the cows, occasionally they cross over onto the track in groups, and they take up a surprising amount of space
I think the idea with the fireballs in (Wii) Bowser's castle is less gatekeeping a part of the track that they'd think is the fastest and more that the tracks are actively going to make you want new players to use the half pipe. The floor symbols are literally pointing to them, and even if the fireball was removed there's literally mud on the middle of the track so it'd still be slower. They're forcing players out of their comfort zone, which is good for leading up to rainbow road.
In courses prior, they were more of a faster optional way to take the course or a slower route to get an extra item box, or in DK summit a path that sometimes has a hazard on it but has items and a speed boost. Not the main way to avoid the hazard.
Does it add to the course? Yeah, it adds more to the actual track than the krabs or the rocks do, because it pressures new players into making tricky jumps over a bottomless pit rather than taking the slow and safe route through the mud, because taking the mud will get you hit.
You can use a mushroom to get through the mud safely, but on its own that's an unusual use for the mushrooms, because usually mushrooms in MK courses are used for actual shortcuts rather than getting through a section like this without feeling the need to rely on your half-pipe skills. And making this "safe route" something you gotta do by staring danger in the face and using a mushroom? That's really cool for a special cup course. How many other bowser castle courses prior do things like this? Remember, N64 had the flamethrower instead.
You could remove the rocks from DK mountain and the course wouldn't lose much personality. Removing the fireballs would gut this section of really anything that makes it feel cool.
I do think I'd rate these hazards more on how much they add to the tracks and how much I'd miss them if they were gone, rather than how much I worry about the hazards.
Some of them are big, some of them are small, some of them are. Love this vid ngl
Thanks!
that intro was perfect.
i liked how you also put some tomodachi collection's soundtrack in the intro as well
Glad you liked it!
I'm not someone who plays MK a lot, but as someone who played a lot of MK Wii with my siblings as a kid, I feel like the cars at the end of Coconut Mall weren't tricky bc they're slow, but bc they have such a massive hotbox, especially in comparison to how wide the track is
all of your videos are so soothing! wonderful gameplay.
Thanks!

The fact that you used Eternal Sonata music made me realise I wasn't subscribed and immediately rectify that error HELL YEAH ETERNAL SONATA
The cars make Moonview Highway better. The chaos they cause is great.
This is interesting because even if I don't play online things like those boxes break and in Bowsers Castle 3 item boxes do sometime appear instead of the lava bubbles
Where’s the bomb car, you forgot the main reason I like that track
Has anyone else made a turn on a Koopa cape and see a goomba, but think it’s a mushroom?
I HATE the cataquacks with a PASSION. Me and my brother have a wii mini that we played a lot in our childhood, it wasn’t connected to the internet so the cataquacks were the absolute worst. My brother got it back out recently of storage and I dread playing Peach Beach.
>MK8D Moonview Highway better than Wii bc less cars
Wrong opinion, disregarded.
yess here i am again at 1:20 am, hellyea love mario kart ranking vids. i like your content
Glad you enjoy, thank you!
Hello bean, I am late to the video because i was in Chicago, glad to see your videos, I was trying go on the internet for a minimal the internet during the trip
Thank you! I hope your trip was nice
As a kid there was literally nothing I despised more than those satanic hellspawns roaming Peach Beach
Honorable mentions to the Bomb Car, Mechanical Piranha Plants (Waluigi Stadium), and the umbrella (Shy Guy Beach)
Also wait, there’s only 2 oil puddles on MC3??? I thought there were at least 3
I think I would have separated the moving/stationary moles and crates, since they are almost a different hazard. (maybe Thwomps too)
Also, the Raceway piranha plants could be B tier, if you take their potential for hiding bananas into account (especially on the last turn).
Aside from that, I completely agree with this list! 👍
Hey bean the goat has posted again
The two worst hazards that came to mind were the cars from moonview highway and the void from rainbow road
nvm guess the void isnt a hazard, imo the deathpoints should count
Id say the penguins and the Minecart.
"Houston, we have made re-entry."
It was cool seeing you in the Yoshi kart stream a while back!
Awesome seeing you again bro! Hope your day is going well g wonderful, and awesome video as always! 👍
Thank you man!
the bat slander will not be tolerated, they do their job perfectly. bats don’t attack humans because they can’t see. they “see” (with echo location) a threatening disturbance, all scurry out the cave, and just kinda slap into whatever is in their path.
The Bob-omb karts in Moonview Highway, the Piranha Plants in Waluigi Stadium and the umbrellas in Shy Guy Beach were the best hazards in this ranking imo 😂😂😂
That's a beautiful (almost normal) distribution
Do the cows not cross the road online/on time trials?
just put my fries in the bag bro
“You will almost never hit the cows” what if I’m bad? I’m always hitting the cows 😔
I'd actually say the lava bubble is a good hazard for the same reason you said Qataquacks are. They should be annoying.
Them coming up suddenly and stealing your jump makes them a good hazard.
They certainly aren't my favourite, but they are a top tier in terms of being an actual hazard
The worst hazard in the entire game are ALL OF THE WALLS
Am i the only one waiting for summoning salt to make a third mkwii vid with bean in?
Great video! I'm really loving the tier list videos. I'd consider the bats to be a C tier hazard due to it being possible to (sort of) weasle your way past on the right side of the entrance to the mine.
If you know where the bats usually go, it shouldn't be too bad.
Glad you liked it, thanks!
Tbh zapper shld go in a tier they just are so distinctive
I only play offline and I don’t play time trials
"usually you won't find yourself playing offline except for time trials." - guy admitting he doesn't have any local friends to play Mario Kart with.
loved that intro lol
I've been sniped by those bombs on several occasions, impossible to dodge when they hit you before they hit the ground xD
Hi bean i love your videos! :D
When I was a kid I drove off the path just to see if the fire would do anything 😂
Another difference between the car and the truck is that you can do tricks on the top of the trucks.
