This video really illustrates the differences between Troy's playstyle and Nick's playstyle. Troy is a strategist with clever use of items and fairly common lap 3 comebacks, and Nick is a time-trialist with world-class lines and frontrunning. It's interesting seeing the mix of challenges that they attempt, with some obviously favouring Troy's skillset (e.g. Item Rain, random items), some obviously favouring Nick's skillset (this one), and others being tossups.
This was a super fun challenge! A few of us were trying to figure out what the event was and we had no idea... -cow man (should’ve thrown my reds at you lap 3 on rBC3...)
Hey Troy, I just wanna say that I have now been watching your videos for a whole year now, which is insane to me! The first time I saw you playing Mario kart Wii last year at around the start of quarantine. I was very confused because I noticed that it was a recent video, and I remember Mario Kart Wii was back in 2008-9. But I was super stoked to see that you kept my favorite childhood game going for more than a decade! I continued watching your KO tournaments, Flounder Fests, custom track vids, and you playing tons of crazy mods! You helped me stay happy through the tough times in 2020, and ended up bringing me good vibes each and every time you uploaded. I am going to keep watching your amazing content, and I'm not planning on stopping. I hope that is the same for you with your uploads. Thank you! :D
troy i just wanna thank you for your videos bro every night i go to bed watching or listening to one of them literally yall are my backround noise and i love hearing you and nicholas every night so thank you so much for it all and especially your race to 9999 videos those are my favorites
It must be a hard temptation to not use items. I know, because I used to play Mario Kart Wii a lot when I was younger. Watching you I realize if I can't get a perfect 64-track cup with Hard NPCs, then I probably wouldn't last a race with someone like you. :P
Flounderfest Idea: Fake Item Boxes aren't fake. You can throw them like a normal FIB but they have a 50% chance of giving you either a TC (regular not mega) or a Star.
NYEAUGH 3:2215:3718:045:25 No blueberry pies tonight! 5:47 oh dear there it is! 7:13 oh baby! pfft! 12:37 no get your daisy outfit ready nick if troy loses get your peach shirt ready! HA! 18:21 COMMANDING VICTORY! 22:44 oh baby lol! 20:57 that's almost a 154 nyeaugh!
Love all things on this channel, but if you guys have time, pretty please do another 3v3v3v3 with nick and sword. I'll literally buy popcorn to watch that
Two Flounder Fest ideas!: 1. Item rain but you can't go out of your way for items, you have to take normal lines. 2. Drive only using your review mirror one of the laps.
Can you pls play mkds again? Maybe wimmfi and other things!! Let's see how many likes can we get and maybe make Troy play mkds again in this channel!!!
There were no BAM! Shock Dodges this video. Shock Dodge drystreak: 2 ... ... This was just like the Online TT episode for most of it. Don't ever challenge Nick to an Online TT. This season of FlounderFest could go either way now! Let's see what happens in the coming weeks.
Idea: Mario Kart Wii, but we stop at all turns. Every turn must be done by coming to a complete stop, then turning in place. You are not required to do an SSMT. The official rule is that you are not allowed to steer or drift unless you are stopped. This allows things like hopping, half pipes, and wall riding. Otherwise, the challenge would be more boring than rush hour. The penalty is a **perfectly straight SSMT**. This cannot be done during a turn. Improved and more sensible version of my other idea. This could actually make for some really interesting strategies.
Idea for an ep - best of 3 GPS. You both pick each other’s character and vehicle. Each Gp is with a different weight class so first one light weight second Medium and if need for third Gp heavy weights
Technically you can use an item on lap 3 to dodge a red shell for example, and it would be quicker to stop and do a standstill mini turbo as a punishment rather than getting hit and doing a standstill mini turbo
I just got Wii console restored and I’m able to play Mario Kart Wii again! I feel really accomplished! Also, this is a challenge where positional power items are just begging for trouble on lap 3 with the current restrictions.
Flounderfest idea: Random items but you can't use items on lap 3. They were talking about being passed on shy guy beach, and I thought maybe that wouldn't happen if they had a big breakaway, which they could get with random items.
Me: "Imagine using no items in the most *Stressful, Crucial, & Life depending* Lap ever"
Troy & Nick: *_"You have entered the comedy area"_*
“no blue berry pies, the bakery is all closed” i love that
I was Going to make a joke about wario sleeping but someone else can make it
”Oh no the bakery reopened”

FlounderFest idea: Mario kart, but you have to immediatly spam your items
They've definitely done this idea before sometime last season.
@@ShawFujikawa Do you have a video link? It's possible, but I don't remember it
@@ShawFujikawa CreepyProduce did that but I don't think Troy and Nick did
That’s just people online with extra steps
They kinda already did that when they couldn’t see their items
This was a super fun challenge! A few of us were trying to figure out what the event was and we had no idea... -cow man (should’ve thrown my reds at you lap 3 on rBC3...)
cow man!
Cow Man!

the “NYUEEAAAHHHH” is strong in this episode
😩😪
Nmeade said he got krab sabatoged in the last race.
Me: What a missed opportunity to invent the phrase "Krabatoged!"
First day of telling Troy that his uploads are appreciated
Thats awesome
Mind if I join you?
How many day doe?
100th like 😎
@@ryanpierson1758 hell yeah
"gonna stop commentating and go for shroomless lap 3"
keeps commentating and didnt go for shroomless on lap 3
Realized he was in a winnable spot, didnt wanna risk a tight game
Mario Raceway without items on lap 3... Would've been like a story without a twist :)
FF idea: Cameras facing backwards for a whole lap (or whole race). See how well you have tracks memorized.
THIS would be fun to watch! Love this idea!!

This gonna make for some awesome finishes!! Love this style of episode
can we appreciate that nick and troy are just having a good time they are sincere and are just happy to be there
Imagine if Troy or Nick got Mario Raceway, pretty sure it would be nearly impossible to win.
You guys always come up with such interesting ideas!
Am I the only one who, on every intro Nick is involved with, irrationally get excited to hear him address the fellas?
troy i just wanna thank you for your videos bro every night i go to bed watching or listening to one of them literally yall are my backround noise and i love hearing you and nicholas every night so thank you so much for it all and especially your race to 9999 videos those are my favorites

14:26 Never seen the Thwomps do that before. Both of them spinning next to each other in the air, out of the normal synchronized order
I love watching Troy lose lol. I hope he doesn't take it the wrong way. It's just that he almost always wins.
Flounderfest Idea: Fake Item Boxes aren't fake. You can throw them like a normal FIB but they have a 50% chance of giving you either a TC (regular not mega) or a Star.
dang, ever since nick changed controllers he's been popping off
New controller counter!
the absolute *best* part of my Monday
Nick "tries to block the gap jump"
This videos always make my Mondays happier
8:34 OH! When Troy landed on a fake item box on the last lap of Waluigi Stadium that was hilarious! XD
This will make lap 3 even more stressful than it already is!
You know Troy's really into glitches when he calls the turn skip a barrel roll.
NYEAUGH 3:22 15:37 18:04 5:25 No blueberry pies tonight! 5:47 oh dear there it is! 7:13 oh baby! pfft! 12:37 no get your daisy outfit ready nick if troy loses get your peach shirt ready! HA! 18:21 COMMANDING VICTORY! 22:44 oh baby lol! 20:57 that's almost a 154 nyeaugh!
Wow this is gonna be a good one.
Love all things on this channel, but if you guys have time, pretty please do another 3v3v3v3 with nick and sword. I'll literally buy popcorn to watch that
Nick’s online time trials are paying off 😂
Dang, nick DOMINATING this room getting 6/8 first places and one second place
3:40 "If I had the shock, I'd be like I'm using the shock!" Then someone uses the shock.
Troy has shock powers
hey troy!! i watch ur vids every night before bed they help to relax and calm me down so much xx
I feel like the idea of purposefully using items goes against the spirit of the challenge
This is literally the opposite of "We CAN'T use our items until Lap 3" in Flounderfest!
yeah thats the point
15:23 Nick: I need another blue shell for....*gasps*HUUUH lolololol
Two Flounder Fest ideas!:
1. Item rain but you can't go out of your way for items, you have to take normal lines.
2. Drive only using your review mirror one of the laps.
Everytime I see one of your videos I really wanna play Mario Kart Wii
This my favorite time of the week
Man Nick is such a pure racer
If you two keep doing these very specific challenges, you'll eventually become unstopable players.
Time to make this monday a lot better
Troy and Nick need to do one of the backwards races, like CreepyProduce. That video was money.
Can you pls play mkds again? Maybe wimmfi and other things!! Let's see how many likes can we get and maybe make Troy play mkds again in this channel!!!
Nick is ready to win!
Troy, surprised Nick got into first after having asked him if he did the gap jump
Your video made me feel a little bit better today. Thank you.
Our lead is gone! But we can still clucth this win. LET'S GO BODATION NATION
As a loyal customer of The Bodacion Nation, I gotta hand this one to Nick for some perfect driving.
You and nick are both the best youtubers ever
this is gonna be a good one
I love when nick goes YEAH!!
Troy with the biggest throw of a FF season ever
“Look me in the eyes and tell me where else I’d be, Fella” ❤️😂
Nice Troy I’ll watch rn
Just two dudes driving, not an item in sight
There were no BAM! Shock Dodges this video.
Shock Dodge drystreak: 2

I love how all of the comments on Troy's videos are all about Nick and vice versa
Troy: "I gotta concentrate"
Me: * Jamming to persona 5 music *
Flounderfest Idea: You've done favorite CTs and longest CTs, now it's time for Hardest CTs!
idea: both nick and troy have to drive with their rear view mirrors 100% of the race
Flounder fest idea: if you touch an item box on lap 3 you have to stand still mini turbo.
Ah yes, Troy doing the same thing and expecting different results.
The basic definition of insanity.
Troy i will always be your number 1 fan. I will always support you
I remember a video "Mario Kart Wii but we can't use items UNTIL lap 3".
19:28 All 3 of Troy's red shells combo'd Panda, rip Panda :(
Idea for an ep - best of 3 GPS. You both pick each other’s character and vehicle. Each Gp is with a different weight class so first one light weight second Medium and if need for third Gp heavy weights
flounder fest idea : all normal exept you are not allowed to drift
Quote of the day
"I'm in first, where else would I be?"
10:57 i always take that shroom-less cup even when i'm normal size kart or bike!
me: i hate mondays
*troy post flounder fest*
also me: i love mondays
Technically you can use an item on lap 3 to dodge a red shell for example, and it would be quicker to stop and do a standstill mini turbo as a punishment rather than getting hit and doing a standstill mini turbo
Yesss this is a video we need again thank you!!!
I want Colton featured in one of these
I just got Wii console restored and I’m able to play Mario Kart Wii again! I feel really accomplished!
Also, this is a challenge where positional power items are just begging for trouble on lap 3 with the current restrictions.
17:51 Troy misses star
Flounderfest idea: Random items but you can't use items on lap 3.
They were talking about being passed on shy guy beach, and I thought maybe that wouldn't happen if they had a big breakaway, which they could get with random items.
Things that didn't age well: "There will be 98 more seasons of flounder fest"
You never know !
You should do some gp's where you have to use every item you pick up IMMEDIATELY.
Mondays are fun!
this was such a good episode 😸
Me: why does it have to be Monday
Also me: Realizes New flounder fest episode is out and is now happy for it to be a Monday
I hope Troy wins
Nick is on fire
in final lap ITS ONLY get HIT and never attack back
Imagine 64 Raceway on this challenge, that would be so unfortunate and hilarious
Shy guy beach was the most interesting race imo
Mario Kart Wii but we can't use our items Lap 3. BARZZZ
Wow Nick ran away with this episode lmao
Flounderfest idea: race using backwards camera
Idea: a mod that turns item boxes into fibs
Day 1 of telling Troy we love his videos with Caleb McGrath
I what would happen if you got a thundercloud? It uses itself as soon as you get it.
you guys are supposed to be at a disadvantage??! that was dominant across every race from both of you
Watching this video without context just makes you look like noobs
