This took MONTHS but it's finally here, now you can stop asking me where is the pro guide 😭
I hope what you can all take away from this guide is this: Mario Kart skill is extremely deep. If you are losing, there are lots of things you can improve on to start winning more!
Thank you so much to Pii, Gyrodos, Alberto, and Euan for your help ❤
Love the editing and video quality, keep up the good work!!
I'm sorry, you can run into a car to avoid blue shell damage?!
BEST VIDEO EVER, 💯/💯, worth the 1hour and 25 minutes !! Keep it up
Man i played with you a couple weeks ago in regional and you are as good as in your videos! I consider myself an excelent mario kart player but your videos always somehow make me a little bit better. Thank you Shortcat! 😀

Great video! I think this is the first time I've seen an 'advanced guide' for something and been able to keep up… Most of this stuff I already know playing the game this way even though I only have 350 hrs or so (not much compared to you I'd think). I'm getting pretty good at soft-drifting (though I still go under the threshold sometimes), and I've perfected counterhopping and hop realignment, though I'm still bad at doing the neutral hop drifts. I'm definitely going to use this guide to get better at some of the things I haven't perfected or just didn't know/think about (*cough* trick direction).
If there's one thing I noticed that you didn't mention, it was the importance of neutral hopping when you're performing hops into some shortcuts, since neutral hopping makes you go further then directional hopping.
Great! Now I’m going to forget everything. 💀. Thanks anyways, I’ll watch this again and again and again.
This is the best guide ever
You are the best and sweetest person in the world
They changed so much about the items in the booster course pass that I now have to watch ANOTHER hour-long strategy guide lmao
can you add dark theme on your site? (love it btw)
Speedcubeshop commented on one of your old videos
We need zbll too
when the cat is short but the video is long 😳
Best hour and a half of my day :))
Insane content, I'm going to show my friends the meaning of speed with this. Thanks !
Thank you so much for all your content, man. Your videos gave me a reason to want to improve at Mario Kart. I’m so glad we finally get the pro guide. Gonna be studying this for months!
I have set my inputs so that i have to press L R L to turn motion controls on or off, no gc controller needed 🙂
I LOVE how you played spooky music for the lag trail explanation 😅
nintendo has the chance to do the funniest thing next direct
Dude you lost me at around an hour. This is such high level stuff 😮 😮
I'm gonna have to watch this like 20 times to absorb all of it. But I will. Because this is an incredible video 😊
