How to get Better at Mario Kart:    • FULL Beginner Guide | Tips to Help Yo...  

Running/frontrunning: Driving as fast as you can at all times to try and stay near the front. This is the normal way to play mario kart, but your items will be worse on average, and you will be susceptible to attack items like red shells, green shells, fire flower, boomerang, bananas.

Bagging: waiting near last place for good items (bullet bill, shock/lightning, star, golden mushroom, mushrooms) and using them to make a comeback. This lets you get to 10 coins and stay away from attack items, and you can potentially dodge the shock or do item smuggling.

    Why are y'all calling me PAX and not Adon 💀💀💀💀
  • @TylerSoriano
    Shortcat and Pax creating the best rivalry over the course of a 30 minute period
  • @jayharrison1785
    Shortcat - Today I’m racing as quickly as possible through the track, like an idiot Every Casual Player - wait what?
  • @Bestgirl3
    I’m so happy I found shortcat, underrated mariokart channel.
  • @1draigon
    Gotta admit I hope Pax sees this haha I always love seeing games from another perspective so I’m sure he’d enjoy this video even more than we are
  • @jillg4959
    pax was going WILD on that yoshi bike
  • @stenanderson1695
    I do love your bit of rapidly switching between "front running is broken always do it!" and "...alright I'm never front running again."
  • @OKFINESOWHATNOW
    Shortcat got me playing mariokart again! Underrated youtuber.
  • @vvlaze
    Heartbreaking information I have to break to you all: PAX’s name is probably Adon and they only had PAX in their name to indicate that they’re going to be at PAX West.
  • @omegahaxors3306
    The way he switched to the meta build then rage quit at the end, you could tell his ego was hit HARD by losing to you so much.
  • @wario1226
    Pax was schmoving out there, snaking with inside drift like this was mario kart DS. What a fun dynamic for the video
  • @jinkazamaha
    To be honest as a casual player I enjoy watching frontrunning SO much more than bagging. Awesome vid!
  • @Yo_soy_Annna
    Hope you're doing well, Shortcat! You're awesome. 🐯

    I have not played mariokart in years, one of your videos popped up and I started watching all of them. After binging them I loaded up mariokart again and tried online out for the first time. Went from 1000 rating to 1500 in a couple of hours. Really enjoying the game again!

    "I think front running is better than bagging" This is one of the greatest anime betrayals of all time. I am shacking and crying, and I'll never be able to play Mario Kart again.
  • @nolanscherzer1911
    This style with front running is a lot more entertaining imo. Also glad to see this PAX-Shortcat rivalry, feels like an anime where a high level character is having fun sparring with a promising high potential lower level character
  • @agent3051
    Honestly. Watching you play is very educational for me. Teaching me all the small tricks I have to still pick up and learn. Too bad none of my irl friends ever want to play
  • @pga0412
    Shortcat, can you make a video on tips and tricks with items? You’ve done shortcuts for some maps in your shorts, what the best combos are in wave 5, now how about tricks you can do with items? Example is like dodging a blue shell with a mushroom or steering the bullet bill. It could help with new players like me. I hope you like my suggestion :)
  • @Qwurx0
    Great video! I was hoping you'd upload something leaning away from bagging just to try it out/teach people. You definitely delivered in a way I didn't expect.
  • @oradargor6830
    I was waiting for that one! Leaving a like before even watching. (yeah I don't hate bagging, I just prefer frontrunning, it feats my style a little more)
