  • Using drifts and charging mini turbos (drift boosts) is the most important technique in mario kart. How bad is no drifting? Everything else is allowed (including smart steering).

    I try bagging, frontrunning, and 200cc!

    I've done this a bit before, but I do it in high handling combos, and you can even get some mini turbos if you turn really hard for a while

    • @Shortcat321
      @Shortcat321  Год назад +125

      I think I got 1 mini turbo in this haha.
      I actually did try some higher handling but my results were not any better, as I predicted. I'm mainly using items to catch up and smart steering is great while using a speed item, so handling wasn't that important.
      If I had beaten the challenge with smart steering right away, I might have done no smart steering. In that case I'd go for high handling

    • @Felipera_
      @Felipera_ Год назад +5

      @stoopidhaters Год назад

      I think high Handling Combos actually make it harder to build a Mini Turbo because the car takes longer to Autodrift where as something with terrible Handling will enter Drift quicker. Not to mention higher Handling means your Car will turn more Sharply when Drifting and we all know Sharp turns are kinda rare.
      I'm considering running TTs for several Combos on one track.

    This is one of the "challenges" i ipose on myself when I play with the family.
    They get a choice of 3
    No Items
    No Drifting (which includes no hopping)
    1 Lap head start
    No items is the easiest to deal with, 1 lap head start just means I get a bullet and instantly catch up, no drifting is 100% the hardest thing, I go from easily winning to sometimes coming 5th

    - kart version: Dry Bowser w/ Tanooki Kart, GLA Tires, and Paper Glider
    - bike version: Dry Bowser w/ Master Cycle Zero, GLA Tires, and Paper Glider
    It's a faster vehicle with still-high acceleration and mini-turbo, plus amazing traction.
    Also have this one if you've never tried it either. Similar idea; fast but without stat weaknesses:
    - also this one: Dry Bowser w/ Sports Coupe, GLA Tires, and Paper Glider
    This one is to dominate on anti-gravity tracks, as opposed to tracks with off-road/icy bits.

    Yo I don’t even have a switch or play mario kart, but these vids are so enjoyable for some reason. Thanks, Shortcat.

    Bro it is just like me when i play this game… I suck so much at it I don’t know how to use drifts and mini-turbos. I go in the walls so much. The difference is you really know the game, at a point when you can make comebacks almost everytime. I would love play like you this game

    When I was a kid, I had an old DS lite that used to belong to my older brother. It was kinda banged up and the L and R buttons did not work. I learned to play without drifting at all, and I still use X to use items to this day. But yeah, when I was doing 150cc and mirror mode, it was a real struggle without drifting.
