Oh wow I was NOT ready to come back to a Jopes video and hear the complete voice drop. I'm so happy for them with their channel growing so much! It feels like just yesterday when they posted the best yoshi route video
As a math and physics teacher, and as our Mario Kart club sponsor, I’d like to say this is one of my favorite videos of all-time. Thanks for such a fun dive into the game!
I clicked on this video expecting to just get the top 5 kart combinations with little to no explanation... Instead I got a gem that actually uses math and calculations to determine the best. Great vid!

Your dedication to this question was incredible. You had me rolling on the floor when you started using Python as I was asking myself “how much crazier can this get?”. Bravo, man!
The improvement in quality from your video on this topic from last year is insane. It's clear you put a ton of effort into this video, and it paid off. Awesome job, and very informative.
Imagine you could tag-team 3 different kart combinations, but only a certain number of times during the race? That would create an entirely different meta.
Jopes, your voice has gotten way deeper since your "What's the Worst Kart Possible in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe?" video. Your video quality has also gotten way better!
This is very useful! I appreciate you showing your formula you used to score the karts and the in-depth explanation of each variable. You clearly have a strong understanding of what's going on under the hood of the game, and it's awesome to learn about mechanics that I didn't know about, like the item possibilities being linked to the distance from 1st place. I've been subscribed since the Yoshi Valley video, and each upload I've seen has been really good! Keep up the great work!
This is a really awesome breakdown and I'm glad someone with the brain power + coding knowledge also happens to be a huge Mario Kart fan to figure this out. I think the part about what % of the race is spent not at top speed/hit by items might have convoluted things more than it helped, as just a straight "what kart is fastest absent other factors?" might have made things easier and still been directionally accurate, since it doesn't sound like the acceleration stat makes much of a difference at least compared to speed and mini-turbo (at least as I'm understanding it, since I'm more just a casual player). In any case, really well done, and I think you did a great job simplifying it for folks who aren't great with calculations/math.
Awesome work, really impressive! I‘d like to see this algorithm applied to the old performance, pre-rebalance. Would be interesting how much the rebalance changed the end results.
This is mind boggling... The amount of work and effort that is put into this, mad respect man! I wish you all of the succes because youre working for it!
i was expecting a simple top 5 combos video or whatever. I had no idea i was literally joining a PHD Math class. even though i didn't understand half of what you said i must commend you for the insane effort you put into this video
This is a great video and you did a good job, but the community has know for a long time that Yoshi, teddy buggy, rollers, and paper/cloud glider is the best. Mini turbo is only slightly better than speed. If you do the calculations thinking that way then teddy buggy comes out on top. Also if you look at the Teddy buggy's other stats it is clear they are more favorable. Your combination you came up with is still completely viable, and your calculations were very impressive!
This video was awesome dude, I can’t believe the amount of effort you went through to do all this. Keep going and doing this stuff we will gladly support all your awesome videos
10:41 items are actually based on both position and distance. Like how you can never get a bullet unless you are in 9th+ (in a 12 player room) there are groups of placements that have certain items, and then some of those items rely on distance. (For example, you can get a star in 2nd if you are far enough from first)
Need the algorithm to keep boosting my man Jopes, his content is actually legit and deserves a supportive and chill community! Keep doing the content you want to do, we'll be here to keep watching what you put out 👌
How cool is that - my go-to setup on 200ccm was always the youshi build (but with shyguy instead for a little better acceleration) 😀 Thanks for your research Jopes!
This math is STUPID impressive, if there is one thing that I think you’re a GENIUS at it’s math. Also I have an important question to ask you Jopes, what is you’re favorite track in the DLC? I used to play tour a TON before I started playing 8 deluxe, so I loved seeing LA laps, Sidney sprint, and Vancouver velocity being added to the pass. Love your videos, keep up the great work!
kamek streedal and roller is probably the best because you forgot to calculate hidden stats like underwater speed and antigravity speed but maybe it doesn’t matter, either way it’s something to look into
great video. One thing I wondered is how the 88% at top speed would change when comparing different tracks, also the average amount of different turbos per race if tested on every available map
Yooo new Jopes video! The amount of effort you put in for those calculations is insane, and making the calculator available on the discord is so cool. Love the content as always!
lmao I've been using this combo since the game came out since I love the high mini turbo stat it gives, besides swapping yoshi for bowser jr., crazy that it's considered the best now
Can you do the worst? That old video you made about the worst combo helped me have fun playing Mario Kart with my friends again but im not sure I should use to play with them now.
Yoooo wake up friends, new Jopes video dropped Love the effort on this one, because I figured calculating out how much speed vs MT matters would depend on a lot of the factors you mentioned that I hadn't seen other people discuss yet, but also didn't know if anyone would be willing to do this research. Props to you
Huh, thats been my kart combo since og mario kart 8. Except for the character is different. Im not a competitive player by any means, but that combo has always worked for me!
Great video! I love that you used math to definitively prove everything, although this might be hard for most casual players to understand if they're just trying to see what combination they should use. Regardless, it was very interesting to learn about! Also I'm in the video right at the beginning. 😁
I love watching these videos knowing I’m just gonna keep playing the full link set
thats exaxtly what mario kart is supposed to be. being able to play ur favorite combo and still have a fighting chance
Woomy on a Zoomy here.
me too most of the time
Same for me with the inklings
That is exactly what it is already. Just use whatever you want the differences only truly matter in time trials.@@hid3f_
Oh wow I was NOT ready to come back to a Jopes video and hear the complete voice drop. I'm so happy for them with their channel growing so much! It feels like just yesterday when they posted the best yoshi route video
Yea, it was a jumpscare going from worst kart to best
Yeah! I found him from that video, and now here we are here now
As a math and physics teacher, and as our Mario Kart club sponsor, I’d like to say this is one of my favorite videos of all-time. Thanks for such a fun dive into the game!
Will you show it to the club or math/physics class?
@@aaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrg2090 Definitely! I’ll show it both in class and to the club.
hope the job is going well
Your school has a Mario kart club? That's awesome!
The amount of work and time that went into this is insane, Huge respect!!
I've been using Light Blue Yoshi, Biddy Buggy, and Azure Rollers for TWO YEARS, and it's now the best in the game. Genuinely insane.
Same here 😂
Same, but I've been having fun with Kamek lately. I love the way he disappears.
same as well
I clicked on this video expecting to just get the top 5 kart combinations with little to no explanation... Instead I got a gem that actually uses math and calculations to determine the best. Great vid!
So glad you enjoyed!
When Jopes uploads, my day automatically gets better.
mine gets worse

Are certain characters/karts missing from the list (because of duplicate stats or whatever)? I couldn't find Heavy Mii or Landship
whats the best kart for inward drifting
@@LarrikinDannyheavy mii has bowser stats and landship has streetle stats
I love how this video teaches me new things about a game I've been playing for years. Great job on this video!
Okay but that quick transition at 0:34 was slick as hell. Cool stuff!
Every video, your editing and commentary just get better and better! Mad props for all the work you put in!
Jopes’s Voice Changed?
I wondered the same thing!
Drastically
Maybe in other videos he used autotune
Puberty hits wild
You guys have a voice?
Your dedication to this question was incredible. You had me rolling on the floor when you started using Python as I was asking myself “how much crazier can this get?”. Bravo, man!
Surely a programmed approach would be the only way to systematically test all the combinations. I would argue that Python made it easier
The improvement in quality from your video on this topic from last year is insane. It's clear you put a ton of effort into this video, and it paid off. Awesome job, and very informative.
I remember you only having a few thousand subs over a year ago
you've grown so much and you completely deserve it
Imagine you could tag-team 3 different kart combinations, but only a certain number of times during the race? That would create an entirely different meta.

I can tell that your editing skills as well as your coding skills are increasing rapidly. Good for you man, keep on making videos! :)
This has got too be the most detailed video I’ve ever seen.
Ain't no way this dude isn't a math professor.
You have really got some excellent content here - combining video games and maths concepts, reminds me of Sovern Gaming
Every time he uploads, his voice gets deeper and deeper. He doesn't upload often but every video is like a puberty update. 😂
it's such a treat when you upload
This is a really awesome breakdown and I'm glad someone with the brain power + coding knowledge also happens to be a huge Mario Kart fan to figure this out.

It's no wonder Yoshi, Biddy Buggy, Rollers is the most commonly used in world recored time trails
The amount of effort that gets put into this video is outstanding, this guy cares, nice job.
bro you are so underrated its crazy!!!! seriously the work you put into this video is insane
This was far more in depth than I was expecting! Awesome video.
Items in Mario Kart 8 *Deluxe* are actually determined by a combination of your distance from 1st and your race position.
I dont think race position matters at all
It doesn’t in this game it’s units behind first. In previous games it was placing. Where did you hear this?
Yoshi teddy buggy be like I am not here
the amount of effort that must go into these videos is insanee
Wow that's an impressive level of commitment! Thanks for so much information on the inner workings of the game, I just joined the Discord.
This is mind boggling... The amount of work and effort that is put into this, mad respect man! I wish you all of the succes because youre working for it!
Huge thanks for creating the kart bot and making it easily accessible!

Haven't played MK in years but your breakdowns are really fascinating.
This video is my jam! I'm loving the breakdown of your basis for objectively quantifying the stats.
Bro was definitely taking calculus in second grade
I'm a huge math nerd and also a Mario Kart fan (and also a new viewer) so the fact that this video was mathematical was a pleasant surprise
This is a great video and you did a good job, but the community has know for a long time that Yoshi, teddy buggy, rollers, and paper/cloud glider is the best. Mini turbo is only slightly better than speed. If you do the calculations thinking that way then teddy buggy comes out on top. Also if you look at the Teddy buggy's other stats it is clear they are more favorable. Your combination you came up with is still completely viable, and your calculations were very impressive!
Really cool video! I really love the fact you give all your methodology instead of just saying "believe me, im right" as do all the other RUclipsrs
I was worried that putting too much info into the video would make people like it less, but now I'm glad that I did!
Bro I have been watching you for a whirl and the voice change is actually crazy
look like the voice got an update as well
Jopes = Vsauce of Mario Kart
You’re absolutely killing it!
Very informative. I’ve been playing Mario kart since the release of Wii but until today I had no idea the actual mechanics of drifting.
This video was awesome dude, I can’t believe the amount of effort you went through to do all this. Keep going and doing this stuff we will gladly support all your awesome videos
Perfect, now I know the perfect kart to get blue shelled in right before the finish
I found you through this video when I was looking for the best kart combo and I’m glad it did
Yay Jopes posted 😆
Also damn your voice got deep
10:41 items are actually based on both position and distance. Like how you can never get a bullet unless you are in 9th+ (in a 12 player room) there are groups of placements that have certain items, and then some of those items rely on distance.

I awesome video, needed this after the new update. Jopes you are my favorite Mario kart content creator 🔥
That took an impressive amount of number crunching, thank you.
kamek streedal and roller is probably the best because you forgot to calculate hidden stats like underwater speed and antigravity speed but maybe it doesn’t matter, either way it’s something to look into
Bro you are a nutter for doing that much math just to figure out Mario Kart rankings. Big props for that
Great video man! I love the way you presented your work. Switching karts rn thanks to this
I thought you were totally trolling us with that formula, LMAO respect
great video as always
it's so funny to hear your voice dropping throughout your youtube career
Thank you for uploading 😊
Damn man that’s awesome content! You worked hard for it and it shows! Keep it up!!
Was hoping someone would make this video soon! Even better it's a Jopes upload!
holy crap, this is genuinely impressive work.
im autistic and this video made me feel so fucking complete. thank you.
and when they rebalance the karts in the next update, you can just update the spreadsheet as long as they don’t change how the stats work
i feel like im watching a math documentary
FR 😂
great video. One thing I wondered is how the 88% at top speed would change when comparing different tracks, also the average amount of different turbos per race if tested on every available map
I was thinking that, Exitebike Arena is a very unique track so I don't think it's very fair to only test on that
@@Brychan1102 yeah there are a lot of straught parts, so the time spent at top speed is higher than average
He at once again with Kart combos.
I just use Tanooki Mario, Streetle, Sponge Tires, and MKTV Glider. They’re all “meta” parts.
Also damn your voice changed bro.
Editing was real good this video.
This is absolutely incredible. Ideal content. Thank you for all the work you put into this.
Yooo new Jopes video! The amount of effort you put in for those calculations is insane, and making the calculator available on the discord is so cool. Love the content as always!
Nice vidéos can't wait to try this combo mr scooty was m'a favorite véhicule before the changes (nice video!)
Once again an excellent video, I can see you put a lot of effort into it
lmao I've been using this combo since the game came out since I love the high mini turbo stat it gives, besides swapping yoshi for bowser jr., crazy that it's considered the best now
"All he managed to figure out that was one, equals one."
League of legend players: *_shocked noises_*
if youtube doesn’t work out for you mr. jopes you’re going places in s.t.e.m., good job gah damn
Editing looking smooth!
i didn’t think this much math would go into something like this, but as someone that loves to competitively play, i thank you
I love your videos, they are super impressive fun, and informative. I love seeing your channel grow, as well as you!
6:28 “Coincidence?” I think NOT”
Can you do the worst? That old video you made about the worst combo helped me have fun playing Mario Kart with my friends again but im not sure I should use to play with them now.
HELL YEAH I GET TO PLAY AS WARIO THANKS
I look forward to seeing 10 of these in every online race from now on :P
that transition @0:33 was insane
thanks, that took forever to make :)
