This game is probably my favorite of all Mario karts. Though the awkward physics and curvy turn design of most tracks make it difficult to play. Adapt and learn your character-kart combinations and you’ll be flying down the tracks. If you ever decide to play again, I suggest playing one of the earlier cups on lower difficulty levels. That way Tommy can have an easier time adjusting. And speaking of characters, I recommend picking one of the Koopa Troopas and pairing them with Donkey or Diddy. Because the troopas have special access to triple shells (both green and red) and The Giant Banana the kongs get is OP if used correctly.
I think Daisy & Red Troopa is good or Peach Daisy. Perhaps Toadette combo if you have it. Thing is because your defense is reactive Daisy's defense is the best fundamentally when you're already in the lead. The Toadette boosts will put you in the lead. Everything else can work but I think at a fundamental level these are the best. Course this is disregarding any complete BS speedrun stuff. Just playing the game & enjoying it strategically. You have to think of it from the perspective that you can't have items as a barrier you have to use them when stuff comes at you in this one.
Fun fact: Sonic was planned to be a collab character, and Mario was planned to be a collab character for Sonic All-Stars racing (I think it was the first one, might have been Transformed) for the Wii
Jumping into the hardest levels and hardest mode with 0 experience, doing poorly, and barely playing the game at all is a terrible way to draw a conclusion about a game. Calling it the worst Nintendo has ever released, combined with your performance, has me question if you have ever played any of the other games in the series. This is like the cuphead reviewer that couldn't get past the tutorial so they didn't like the game.
This was painful to watch, especially with the poor car choices. So let an unsung legend help you out for your runback: Gas on the green light for boost. Drifting is slapstick; the faster you flick the left stick sideways, the quicker you can pull off mini-turbos. Car selection is determined by the heaviest character of your team, except the Parade Car, which everyone can use. Tell your boy that the Heart is a shield from all items except lightning 🌩 and it also picks up items if you have one character not using an item. Only THREE heavy cars are worth driving: the Turbo Birdo in the middleweight cars; the Parade Car for everyone and the Boo Pipes in the Heavyweight cars. Contact with other cars after using a star or mushroom 🍄 boost will cause them to drop their items, or you stealing them. TAFN and remember, "Don't get good, get better."
Back when I had my GameCube I was goated at this game, the drift is wide but it's easy once you figure it out. Also specials are locked to the character on the back of the kart, if you have Daisy on the back you'll always get hearts 🤣
Bro, you ever see the first Cars movie where Doc told lightning to turn left to go right? That's literally what you have to do with the drift, I still do it on deluxe. That, and braking.
This is still my favorite mario kart of all time man. Besides the butter ball traction, the stages, roster, music, and GAMEMODES are the best in any mario kart. I think mk8dx will become my new favorite now that theyre adding characters again. But the nostalgia and overall fun and polish this game has, keeps it on top for me. Mk Wii and MK ds are second and third for me
The best part of MKDS was probably the amount of content they managed to fit in it. Great soundtrack, great stage selection, fun battle mode, online goddamn multiplayer. It was all so beautiful. Then... everything changed when the Snaking Nation attacked.
The ultimate mario kart game of all time; The choas, the action, the items, the strategy, the cars, the tracks everything.

Im ngl that sounds like cap
Sounds a little like a stretch, but that'd be hype as fuck lmao
Them: Keep falling off on the first stage*
Me knowing they still have to do rainbow road:
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

its obviously a great game, stop reading so deep
into jokes
U takin this wayy too literal and u forget that others are entitled to an opinion

Thank you for enlightening the crowd my brother.
i don't plan on playing this again soooo
@@LokiFES well I guess it's not for everyone. It's really fun in co op though.
Mario & Paratroopa is best combo.
@@LokiFES Skill issue?

2:33 At least he acknowledges he sucks at it 🤷🏾♂️
Bruh this was hilarious 😂😂
Bro, the RNG in this game is FUCKING NUTS. I got a Blue Shell in not just 3rd Place, but also SECOND.
The Blue Shell is obtainable from 4th to 8th place. In Mario Kart DS and Mario Kart Wii, it is impossible to get it in last place.
@@DeadPool-gj4dx You know, I have a feeling you didn't actually read my comment before replying.
This game isnt that hard. Learn how to drift and use smaller vehicles if your bad.
This is the most unpopular opinion I have heard all year and I highly disagree with it. Double dash is awesome.
Bro this game is not that hard. Just be smarter with the drift
nah its the game
Bro, you ever see the first Cars movie where Doc told lightning to turn left to go right? That's literally what you have to do with the drift, I still do it on deluxe. That, and braking.
@@justallwrong5401 lol i know
Very fitting that I got recommended this video on the game's 20th anniversary.
This is an accurate representation of how it feels to play this game in my opinion
Bro we were trained to be god gamers back in the day, we didn’t have no assisted steering or auto acceleration. Shit was tough 😂
Tommy needs his own RUclips channel where he rages

First Gamecube game ever had when said console came out, I'm going to enjoy watching this.
This boutta be chaoticn
Imagine judging a game based on how good you are at it. Couldn't be me. I'm just saying, CTR is better than MK8, change my mind.
Lmao it’s all jokes clearly ofc they know it’s good it was literally popular, they remind me of my friends growing up, let these boys have fun
@@YourMomsFavGlick nah, I know. I'm just messing too.
Y’all should try crash tag team racing
Your supposed to start your engine when the number 2 shows up to boost 10:25
no…? In double dash, you have to press “A” right when the countdown finishes and it says “Go!”or whatever.
yall using parsec to play with each other or yall using something else?
Tommy is made for this game
Cut it, it is the goat fool
Y’all getting destroyed against me in crash team racing. I am a ABSOLUTE GOD AT THAT GAME. I KNOW EVERY SHORTCUT AND KNOW HOW TO KEEP THE BOOST GOING
I am the Princess! ❤❤
Y don't play Mario Kart 7
Mario kart wii ctgp still better the mk8 In my opinion
Played Mario Kart DS yesterday for the first time in years… can’t believe I used to think that was riveting gameplay💀 shi was ass
🤣🤣
Mario kart DS is by far the best in the series
It had mission mode and rob
Best game ever
The best part of MKDS was probably the amount of content they managed to fit in it.
Great soundtrack, great stage selection, fun battle mode, online goddamn multiplayer.
It was all so beautiful.
Then... everything changed when the Snaking Nation attacked.
If you suck dont use heavies 😅
this game was B tier now its D tier
