Yeah, from what I can tell Rosalina has pretty similar stats to Funky Kong in general and is even to this day viable. She also has a turning speed bonus and a few other things that basically keep her basically on par with Funky Kong outside of tool-assisted speedruns and (maybe nowadays) WR time trials.
It could also be the fact that Rosalina was given immediatly if you had on the same wii a Mario Galaxy save file. I don't think many people knew immediatly how to unlock Funky Kong and saw Rosalina as the better alternative. (Sorry if the English isn't perfect is not my language)
@@wio1 I mean realistically the actual difference between Rosalina and Funky is REALLY tiny. Until things started getting properly optimized it was really hard to tell who was better because the performance differences are so miniscule.
What I don’t understand is even on the first day of the game being out people were already playing funky flame runner and had great lines that still hold up today - how was the meta combo and driving style discovered in just hours?
Game sense from previous mario karts i imagine, ive also heard that speedrunners wait a week before getting actual attempts in, tho i only heard that in a scarlet/violet pokemon speedrun video
Hi Bean, hope you are doing well. My brother died today, and he said you were one of his favourite RUclipsrs. He said that he watched your videos before he got an account to chat. I wanted to say thanks for uploading and being his fav youtuber.
14:22 When it comes to Kart WRs, Wario happens to have similar (but not identical) stats to Dry Bowser, both having maxed Miniturbo, so perhaps Wario can snatch one of Dry Bowser's WRs there
I recently went to my friends house and played this in over like 4 years and it makes me happy to see that the game is still competitive and is still thriving for such an old game. Love that the community is still alive
In a good way, you're a more modern twd98 to me. I adored this game since Troy started uploading MKWII vids but now a days he mostly does youtube shorts. He was the shit back during pre WFC shutdown.
I had to do a double take when I saw frostbeule used to have mkwii world records. That man is also a legend in the trackmania scene! (and I confirmed it is the same person)
your content is top-tier, very enjoyable! you deserve way more attention! but most importantly, stay yourself, don't let your community change your style too much, we're here for a reason!
Aight now the funky Kong asking to hit the subscribe button is a unique and refreshing change from asking like everyone else. Not to take away from how great the rest of the video, but funky Kong worked
I know by adding an attempt limit, it adds stakes which makes videos more interesting.... ... but I wish you kept going until you got it. I like seeing progression to results
For someone who uses the Wii Wheel, I’m impressed with how far the records have come the last 16 years or so. I also don’t use Funky Kong flame runner lol or Daisy Mach bike.
hey bean! quick question: this screen (10:05) is from the downloaded ghosts tab from mario kart channel right? how did u download the ghosts to show up on that tab? since my downloaded ghosts from ctgp dont appear there, idk what to do.
ive never understood how people can be this good at mario kart wii. i get how people are good in games, but mario wii? The controller is not precise enough and you gotta move your whole body to steer and drifts are close to impossible
You're thinking of the Wii Wheel- that controller is pretty hard to use, but there are other options that most people (myself included) opt to use instead. The GameCube controller, the Wii Classic Controller and the Wii Remote + Nunchuck are the most popular choices.
First of all there are different controllers and secondly you do not need to steer intensely, most likely you'll oversteer yourself and then you have to keep moving the controller left and right to readjust, seems like a skill issue perhaps
Are you not tempted to go for more attempts after being so close to beating some of these? I would just bend the rules and do some of these maps until I beat them

I'm pretty sure Rosa was common due to her mini turbo stat bonus, so people thought she was better on tracks with alot of turns.
Yeah, from what I can tell Rosalina has pretty similar stats to Funky Kong in general and is even to this day viable.

@@ElectrifiedStrawberry Nowadays, in top TT gameplay, Rosalina is completely unviable
@@jacopopagliara9086 Yeah that's probably a big part of it

not only was this a really fun idea, but the song choices were top tier
Thank you!
Agreed

Amazing.
What I don’t understand is even on the first day of the game being out people were already playing funky flame runner and had great lines that still hold up today - how was the meta combo and driving style discovered in just hours?
I'm guessing this is at least partially because people were already cracked due to their mindset from previous games
Game sense from previous mario karts i imagine, ive also heard that speedrunners wait a week before getting actual attempts in, tho i only heard that in a scarlet/violet pokemon speedrun video
I guess that was the online meta, I played funky Kong and Daisy black in 2008 Because of the online players

I'm very sorry for your loss. Thank you for letting me know.
Aww I hope you have a good day
This is just the normal n64 bowser castle experience. Lose time out of nowhere, mess up the shroom cut, fail shroomless. So relatable 😞
12:34 dude that pipe clang caught me so off guard, had me cackling. You’ve got some quality content on this channel :)
Thank you!

he can. wario has higher drift lol
Let's hope so
That higher drift is often a detriment, though. It gets in the way of snaking.@@TermAscoy
@@friskycalibri2293 oh, didnt think ab that
You pick…WAAAAAARIO!
alvins bc64 is pretty solid given it was driven after 2 months of the release
Favorite video RUclips I’ve seen all week. Great video idea and edits and commentary. Loved it
Thank you so much!
Can’t emphasise enough how crazy these times are - weeks of grinding couldn’t get me some of them
started binge watching ur videos yesterday ‼️‼️
Thanks for your support! I hope you're enjoying the videos
I recently went to my friends house and played this in over like 4 years and it makes me happy to see that the game is still competitive and is still thriving for such an old game. Love that the community is still alive
I remember when I used to think I was good with the Wii wheel getting a 2:14 on peach gardens, how much I had to learn lol
We all start somewhere
we were all at that point
Fantastic idea! It's a fantastic way of adding depth to speedrunning that is unique to this game
Thanks!
Really really great idea, was very invested by the end
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it
nice video, you made me play this game again 10 years later keep it up!
I'm so happy to hear that, thanks for watching!
Funny how most of these wrs are slower than the ctgp esgs lol

Fun fact! FROSTBEULE was one of the best trackmania players in the world, pretty cool stuff
this was a great vid i loved it. btw video suggestion: try to do shortcuts/ultra shortcuts with the jetsetter.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! Maybe I'll try that sometime.
I love Bean Zard so much! +1 sub added to your subscriber count.
Thank you so much man!
@@beanzard64 I'm a Christian too, just so you know.
The fact that you almost had 6/8 of these is insane. I'm confident that if you knew Rosa more you would have won.
You spoiled it dude
Great video! And awesome music as always

was super fun to watch. great idea for a video. great work

one of the best videos ive seen in a long time! do more :)

Fun Fact: The Day 1 WR for GCN Mario Circuit doesn't drift through the tunnel
The first Mario circuit WR too! the ghost realign by canceling the wheelie which is very weird from now
I know by adding an attempt limit, it adds stakes which makes videos more interesting....
... but I wish you kept going until you got it. I like seeing progression to results
People were so good at the game just one week after it launched, crazy
This is an amazing concept and video!
Thanks!
cool video, sad that my mom tried throwing me out the window :,(
I hate it when that happens
Your Mum did what?
たろう (太郎 in Chinese characters, literally "great son") is _Tarou_ (tah-roh), it's a common Japanese name traditionally given to an eldest son.
If these people who made these WR in 2008 and they were 14+ They are now grown men/woman
If they were 3 years old they’d be 18 now

Love your content! You do such fun and creative challenges, always exciting!
Thanks so much man!
Btw there exists a video compiling all Day 1 WRs that I can send you if you want, it was only re-uploaded relatively onto RUclips recently
That would be pretty cool
Alvin van Asselt was one of my Teammates back in da days. Oh wow so much memories
For someone who uses the Wii Wheel, I’m impressed with how far the records have come the last 16 years or so. I also don’t use Funky Kong flame runner lol or Daisy Mach bike.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video

That's impressive
7:09 I need the soundtrack for this I love it
Grasslands All The Way - Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story
Thanks! 👍
Nice video!
Thanks!
26:02 OMG THAT KILLED ME 😂😂
I was not ready
10:07 the ctgp expert staff ghost beats that😂😂😂
Keep up the great videos man❤🎉😊
Thank you!
Bean failing bc3 hitting the wall on bc3 and still getting wr is exactly how i thought this video would go 😂
7:10 yoooo bumpsy plains
You are so unbelievably underated
Thanks so much man!
Nice video keep it going and maybe one day you'll have a wr again
Peach Garden
"Beaten by 0.069 seconds"
Nice
Not gaping the water into the alleyway from between the trees in delphino is a sin
this is such a cool video idea
Thanks!
you should do a video where you try and beat all the wii wheel world records
I'd imagine most of them are probably not far off from the regular world records, so that may be a bit too much for me
I saw this and I couldn’t let it hang like that:
10:02
Who noticed to?
Hey bean, I know you work so hard and I truly admire you for that, have a nice day! ❤
Thank you Slithered! You have a nice day too
Hey man would you mind if I do your expert staff ghost challenge for a video!
Yeah that's fine!@@slitheredboyz
@@beanzard64 thanks good man
poofesseur if he still had a will to live
banger video, what was the name of the song that played during your N64 Bowser Castle attempt? havent heard it in years :)
Thank you! That would be the Final Boss theme from Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story
this guy kinda wanna make me go back to playing mkwii lol
Love the way je says FROSTBEULE😂
Now beat the oldest record of all. Fastest time on the first evef build of Mario Kart Wii from January 23rd, 2006
19:00 best part
Yoo man, do you have the samr music pack as BigFry? because he has the same song for ds peach gardens.
12:35 killed me💀💀💀
i remember being mind blown when the sneakster took the wr in mushroom gorge by someone named "m"
So we’re earning a sub
(-:
9:59 nice
10:00 nice
cool video, sad my pet fish shot my leg :'(
Very unfortunate
@@beanzard64 yeah, 3rd time this week :((
FROSTBEULE comes from my country so im happy that he won🐶🎉😍😘
Goofy ahh comment
@@Forsajakwdym
now all you have to do is go back in time
should be easy...
You did well
are we talking about the Trackmania "pro" FrostBeule ? right?
19:36 It reads "Tarou"
10:20 ?!?!?! Is it the same Frostbeule that used to be a trackmania pro player?
Cool video
Thanks!
Bro please make more videos and can u do more challenges i subbed. Funky kong😂
True
Congrats
Thanks!
frostbeule was the name of a swedish proffesional trackmania player in the same time period i wonder if it was the same guy
I could be mistaken, but I believe it's the same guy
hey bean! quick question: this screen (10:05) is from the downloaded ghosts tab from mario kart channel right? how did u download the ghosts to show up on that tab? since my downloaded ghosts from ctgp dont appear there, idk what to do.
Cool!
back then, I would have been one of the best players the game had lol
2009 WRs next?
That would definitely be a big step up, but possibly sometime

I wonder what these people are up to today, they were probably kids when they set these records, and now they’re probably in their 30s haha
For mushroom gorge, why no ultra shortcut
How did you download the ghosts?
Not with ctgp
How did you get the MKWII Channel ghosts? It doesn't work on wimmfi servers you need the ghost database.
Awesome
Thanks!
amazing
Thanks!
Technically, the ghost beat you because they were using tilt controls and you weren’t
did you play with the normal wii controller or controller with the sticks
I use a Classic Controller Pro, which has analog sticks
I think it would have been funny if you sent the ghosts
I wish it would work, sadly it just crashed the game )-:
Are you not tempted to go for more attempts after being so close to beating some of these? I would just bend the rules and do some of these maps until I beat them
I might go back and try to beat them sometime off camera
Try beating all the 1st jan 2009 wrs
Maybe some day
most of the wrs at that point already are optimised enough to be out of most players reach
rr 2:30, mc3 high 1:18, wgm 1:52 etc etc
DUUUDE JUST TRY ANYWAY IT WAS INFURIOUS TO SEE YOU QUIT...
