0:49 The reason the surfboard animation with the wave doesn't show up as much is because you can only get it after going off ramps in anti-gravity sections
GG's to you both! I was sweating on that gorge lap 3 cause I also saw you with a shroom and knew you were gonna go for cut so I forced myself to take it but sold cause I missed LMAOOO
@@CYLITM Yeah, he could tell the Australia and New Zealand flags apart. I'm a geography buff too, but I would have trouble doing that, let alone identify flags for random countries.
@@SvanTowerMan a bit late here, but a couple of ways to easily differentiate the Aus flag from the NZ flag are: •The Australian flag has an extra star under the Union Jack whereas the NZ flag doesn't •The NZ flag has red stars instead of the white ones the Aus flag has
That wave surfing animation with Funky Kong is his anti-gravity animation. Every character has them! You only get those in an anti-gravity section (including half pipes), and only if you jump boost neutral or spinning to the side; forward flips and backwards flips don't trigger it.
@@Tocaraca There isn't, people just use Yoshi instead of every other character in his class, Peach, Daisy, Birdo, Peachette, etc. It's actually kinda funny seeing 11 yoshis in a room because players don't want to use a girl character haha
@@yveltalseaI don't think people are against being girls, I think people just like Yoshi. Also I, probably the same as a lot of people, didn't know that they were all the same weight
@@HeftyDan that's fair, Yoshi's a great character imo. I do wish there was an in-game thingy where you could actually see the characters in their weight class. Kinda nintendo's fault, I assume it's the same issue they had with Waluigi/wild wiggler
I had a lot of fun during those 12 races, with some satisfying victories and some terrible fails. Nonetheless, well played from you, Rod and everyone else!
The way trick animations work is that every character has 6 trick animations, 3 for carts and 3 for all bike types and quads. For both vehicle types, 2 animations are normal animations that you can trigger basically at any trickspot, these 2 will just infinitely cycle through and one of them is also used for gliders/canons. For funky, these 2 on the bike are the one where he makes a V shape and the one where he chills on his surfboard. The other trick animation (for funky on bike it's the one where he rides the wave) is a special trick animation that you can only trigger on specific trick locations (the second booster ramp on gba marios circuit, the first ramp on shy guy falls, the ramps on the antigravity section on toads harbor, the last 2 ramps on cheese land and many more...). You can only trigger it with a neutral or sideways trick; a front- or backflip with the vehicle will play the normal trick animation, so don't move your control stick or dpad up or down during the trick. The animation can also not play twice in a row, the second trick from a special ramp in a row (no matter how much time passes in between the tricks) will have a normal animation, unless you used a normal trick in between. I don't think the special trick gives any more speed than a normal one, so all of this Information is pretty much useless. Enjoy!
You were talking about the ‘riding the surfboard’ animation not showing up as often as others. During my years on the Wii U version of the game, I noticed that there are 2 animations that always play in order. Now on certain ramps, a third animation will play, in funky’s case it being ‘the surfing’ animation. Like I said, only certain ramps. So it only appears on those. UNLESS, you flick the stick and do a frontflip for example. Then one of the normal animations will play instead. As far as I remember though, the third animation will be stored in the memory and will play on the following ramp (can be any ramp) once again, if you don’t flick the stick and spin around. Anyone’s free to correct me on this, but i played so much mk8 on the Wii U back then that I just had to explain my view. Hopefully it makes a bit more sense to why the surfing animation is more rare
The third trick animation is reserved for anti-gravity, which is why it seems more rare. Also the game cycles through trick animations to make sure the same one isn't performed twice in a row, unless gliding is involved
I'm pretty sure the specific Funky Kong trick animation where he rides the wave only happens when he does a trick during anti-grav. Because I was wondering why Pauline's trick animation with the laser light show wasn't showing up as often and noticed it only showed up during anti-grav or on half pipes.
the thing you say that looks like coconut mall in Madrid is actually a train station called Atocha. here in spain the train industry is really important as we were one of the first countries in europe to have high velocity trains. Also it is like really big and once it was full of turtles for some reason 😂
Ggs! Was a lot of fun to play in a couple twd98 mk8deluxe rooms for the first time! Still trying to get better at the tracks! Also I had a couple controller dcs during a few races hope that doesn’t happen again lol
Wii Rainbow Road will probably always be my favorite Mario Kart track. To me it is what all Rainbow Roads should be, Visually amazing, hard af, and a perfect finally.
For me it will always be Moonview Highway as I mastered it well using the Wii Wheel and for someone who doesn't like Rainbow Roads, Moonview Highway is one of the few tracks I never rage on.
As I’ve been watching, I’m pretty sure the “short cut” on daisy circuit is slower unless you have a mushroom. The only way it could be faster is if it means you avoid the other racers and avoid their items, which means you could technically go faster. But the person in front of them always gets further away when anyone takes the cut shroomless
its a safer way cuz of the glider and it gives an opportunity to mitigate the damage of the shock. plus it gets a double item box. it might be slower in a vaccuum, but its a good strat in the right situations.
In order to get stuck around DK summit's final turn you have to come in at a very shallow angle and trick to the inside as soon as you take off in the air. It's the same idea as Waluigi Circuit.
So I’m sure you already know this, but apparently the Cat Cruiser and the Teddy Buggy no longer have the exact same stats. Cat Cruiser now has more invincibility, but it also has a slightly bigger hit box. Just some food for thought on which is better
In all the Mario Kart 8 videos proceeding the release of Wave 6, I've noticed that each time Funky rode the wave, you were in anti-gravity. My hypothesis is that every character has two unique trick animations for each area. Normal, Anti-grav, and underwater. Now, whether the underwater anti-grav has separate tricks is beyond me, but the hypothesis still stands.
I’ve never played in an all Funky Kong player lobby in MKWii where I’m glad that this is my first time using Funky Kong in an all Funky Kong player lobby where I’m going to use Funky Kong in 8 deluxe more than MKWii since he’s not overused.
Me too also why does Troy calls nick and rod his rival when clearing they look like Friends with a strong relationship of competition because they are not screaming or getting angry at each other and second do you like to make a funny joke about each other?
WAIT you say “it doesn’t show up as much as the other ones” when talking about funky kongs’ wave trick animation. Did you know that you control which animation plays? Depending on the direction you hit when you trick, you’ll do a different animation. This works for all characters btw.
I honestly think the surfboard tricks are distracting and obfuscate my view of the track for too long. But I won't switch to another character. I use FK with the Flame Rider Bike and Funky Wheels (of course) and standard, Grinning Ape Glider. This is the real meta build.
I usually love Coconut Mall, but this time, I think I'll root for Rainbow Road. Daisy Circuit is a lovely one. DK Snowboard Cross... I actually love all of them !
THIS IS PEAK MARIO KART (Funky Kong actually hates me I will stick with Roy)
ROYS OUR BOY ( i also have the plushie)
Roy's epic I think it tie though roy-funky
it was fun racing against you in the chaos cup😃
SO GLAD I WAS HERE FOR THIS UPDATE
I’m wiggler squared for life
Funky Kong’s wave surfing trick only shows up if you trick while on Anti Gravity
OHHHH THATS WHAT WAS GOIN ON
To be even more clear, it will not show up if you flip trick. Only if you side or neutral trick.
@@inv_hana ye, every character has a unique trick for Anti Gravity sections (for Karts and Bikes too)
I thought he had to trick sideways
It's an anti gravity tick!??? I just assumed specific jumps just had special stuff

Seeing funky kong in mk8 deluxe is so surreal, the nostalgia is strong with this one
*surreal
He spelled it right he spelled it like surreal just like you said
@@escavalier7813??
he edited his comment so no i think he spelled it wrong, pay attention @@Kakkemans
Agree.

The constant Funky noises instill a sense of nostalgia that is hard to describe.
YAAA-HOO BLALALALALALALA

I was so surprised too

Jesus, that is a scary view! Pretty lucky you didn't get hit.
I like how much you're digging Funky Troy, the last couple of videos have really shown just how much you are committed to him and I like that.
I appreciate that Nintendo did not make Funky Kong super meta. It’s nice to see other faces be the best.
The devs should be making every character equally viable, there shouldn't be one single meta character
@@Tocaraca There isn't, people just use Yoshi instead of every other character in his class, Peach, Daisy, Birdo, Peachette, etc. It's actually kinda funny seeing 11 yoshis in a room because players don't want to use a girl character haha

I love how they kept Rainbow Road’s sounds and the burning up upon falling.
It was too good to remove, and that's coming from a non MKW player.

Nah its literally just an anti gravity only trick

@@arielgonzalez008 Cool! thanks for clearing this up. I was suspecting that younger me wasn't gonna be right in the end xd.

Because thats how the 3rd trick is triggered for everyone
You need to be on anti gravity and do a neutral trick
it actually happens also in other specific areas, mostly higher ones. One example is that big jump on GBA Mario Circuit, it happens there too.
9:15 love that you know the whole name as someone who’s from there! Shocked to see someone who knows you all the way down in the Balkans haha
This is so like item rain lmao 26:35

Time for the Funky Monkey squad to fire up!
20:26 there's a train station in Madrid that has a huge garden in the middle and a glass ceiling!
Did you know the trick animations are based on trigger placement, so you can continously play the same animation.
11:42 his silent expression of joy, because of the banana snipe
Was waiting for a video like this. You delivered this in the best way possible! Favorite course for Wii on 8DX is obviously Wii RR.
2:32 funny funky kong synced "YO!"
In order to get stuck around DK summit's final turn you have to come in at a very shallow angle and trick to the inside as soon as you take off in the air. It's the same idea as Waluigi Circuit.
That’s a lot of Funky on the mini map in the thumbnail lmao
I’m okay with it though but I will be a Pauline and Mii main.

Return to MONKE is inevitable. Nintendo will buff his mini turbo until he’s top tier
Funny thing hearing you dressed up as Funky Kong for Halloween as I also did
I just love Mario Kart 8 Deluxe + New Funky Mode, it's really been a journey seeing all of the new courses added with the Booster Course Pass.
"mario kart wii maps only" starts with snes map
Anyone else find it strange that he said "Wii tracks only" and then played SNES Bowser Castle 3?
Glad to see this Troy guy again, his vids are fire...... wait.
Why do I have hundreds of videos of his in my search history?
Why is he so good?
2:11 isn’t that the hacker from the last video? The person who got 4th? Or is that a different person?
I love how a game with one of the most toxic userbases has some of the most wholesome creators.
When is 9999cc day 5 coming? :O It's been 2 weeks
Me as Bowser-Main: So now are people intrested in playing Heavyweight. About time.
are u gonna do the wii 99999cc ko soon?
What happened to 99999 cc tournament ???
A true funky kong fan would use inside drifting bikes
sad to see nick get replaced for the moment but im sure he'll come back one day
Me too also why does Troy calls nick and rod his rival when clearing they look like Friends with a strong relationship of competition because they are not screaming or getting angry at each other and second do you like to make a funny joke about each other?
The Big World Record character lounge room. It could also have Morton to be in it too.
Next challenge everyone should be funky kong INSIDE DRIFT.
I just wanna watch a flounder fest of people trying to do turns with funky inside lol
I've been taking it upon myself to learn that lol
i learned mkd8 on inside drift so imma hop on rn and see if i can get some firsts
Low gravity was made for Rainbow Road
1:23 I would spam the crazy 8 item
15:34 if you don't release your miniturbo you never detach
Dk Mountain bridge tricks you don’t wanna be in the middle of the path, you wanna be closer to the edge since the waves will be higher there
I love how Troy hasn't noticed Sky was one of the hackers from yesterdays video lol.
Funky Kong will become the new Yoshi Teddybuggy, not for being the best combo, but for being the coolest character.
My favourite MKW track in MK8DX is 100% Moonview Highway. Fight me.
Every time you said "we" I couldn't help but think you were making a pun
EDIT: The Chaos cup was awesome. XD I'd like to see more
Forever trust in Funky Kong.
On dk summit all you have to do is after you go on the last boost you just have to hold right as long as you can then just go straight
'' Funky Gang'' 😂
Toads factory, dry dry ruins and wii bowser castle were literally my faves
Never expected a bosnian player, props to Troy knowing the full name of our country lol

Wii rainbow road has to be the best soo iconic and I could vibe to that music all day on repeat!!😮
I do not know what the Chaos Cup is.
So is this yoshi teddy buggy replacement
Missed opportunity to force everyone to use inside-drift bikes only.
Just goes to show who the superior mario kart character is. Funky Kong Forever!
Cool, love your content man❤
So about the new Credits... I watched and and found both nabbit and a mega mushroom Symbol so idk. Pretty interesting
My favorite thing about the DLC is the custom item races. Blue Shells only is a riot! Mario Kart Communism is surprisingly really fun.
When are you going to return to the Twd98's 200cc tournament
I usually love Coconut Mall, but this time, I think I'll root for Rainbow Road. Daisy Circuit is a lovely one. DK Snowboard Cross...
I actually love all of them !
Respect for sticking with funky kong
You can actually get closer to MKWii than just Funky Kong Only. How about Funky Kong + Jet Bike + Slims only?
Now THIS is a certified banger
That comment is a banger because you didn't say classic. 🙂
hood classic not certified bager

Funky Monke Forever Chunky
Funky Kong is back baby!!!
5:10 i played with multiple fake (or real? 👀) troys like 10+ years ago in mkwii online but i haven’t seen one since!
Well well well look who we have here , we have the hacker from last video 😂 in the FFA
"mario kart wii tracks only" starts off on SNES Bowser Castle 3
Love seeing these races with
Rod!!!
So surreal how the mkwii tracks have almost as unhinged shortcuts as the original mkwii versions,
Funky Kong>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Yoshi Teddybuggy
Ill die on that hill till the day yoshi teddybuggy gets nerfed to the ground
Does this version of MKWii Rainbow Road still turn you into a baby if you go through the cannon backwards?
Can’t believe they actually put funky kong in this game. Still screwed us over with no R.O.B. though
The prophecy has been fulfilled...
I guarantee you, Piranha Plant Pipeline would not be fun in mk8. It's circular pipe for the entire track, it just wouldn't work.
Funky is back in mk online!!
It only took 9.5 years not counting the days Wiimfi has been up and about.
The credit video was so FUN!
I can't believe they made Mario Kart Wii HD :O
What does TWD98 stand for? Been watching for a while and haven’t figured it out.
