The Mario Kart Iceberg Explained!

Not sure why there have been many hate comments lately on this video? Like most of them are insulting the way I speak or not giving actually criticism. I make videos because they are fun and it's quite upsetting to see people blindly hate for a video that has clearly alot of time put into it but hate it because of one or two small things within a 40 minute video. Eitherway people who supported this video. Thank you so much, I appreciate all the support I get <3 and I'll continue to try and make entertaining content:)

Isn’t it weird how in every Mario Kart game there’s either coins or fake item boxes but never both

I remember unlocking R.O.B in Mario Kart D.S as a kid, and I was quite confused why the Robot form Super Smash Bros was in Mario Kart.

im surprised rubber banding was on this lmao...

This is exactly how an iceberg video is supposed to be in my eyes: well narrated/written, straight to the point and with good editing. Very well done, enjoyed every part!

I'm surprised the iceberg doesn't mention how to crash Mario Kart DS: stand on the front steps of Luigi's mansion, then press A and B at the same time. Try it, your game will crash.

I really like these iceberg videos,they are pretty cool and give more information about the dark side of the specific topic

Regarding the fake item boxes: The item boxes stun you for longer than bananas do (flip animation instead of spin animation) They also have a bigger hitbox than bananas, and you can put one behind a real item box rather convincingly if you are precise enough, whereas with a banana you will always be able to see it. I think it's a cool item because your skill at hiding it makes a huge difference in its utility.

I wonder if Nintendo is low-key using Tour as a testing ground for newcomer characters?

Related Topic: Wario Colosseum was the only track to have 2 laps.

It actually is possible to get to both the island on DK Jungle Parkway and the Island on Sherbet Land using a Piranha Prowler mushrooming into a Quacker. The DK Jungle Parkway Island actually has full collision and you can drive on it, but the one on Sherbet Land is out of bounds sadly

My best guess for what “FPS mode” is is that it’s the different frame rates between the Japanese/North American versions of the games vs the European versions. If I remember correctly, North America, Japan, etc runs the frame rate in the races at 29.97 FPS (30 FPS just to make it simple), which is known as NTSC. However, many countries in Europe sold a version of the game that ran at about 25 FPS in the races, which is called PAL. As a result, world records would have slightly different times because the NTSC version of the game that was 30 FPS made it so that you drove faster than in the 25 FPS PAL version of the game! In most world records there were comparative times in both the PAL and NTSC versions, and I believe that there was also a conversion equation to show what the equivalent time would be in PAL and NTSC. With the equivalent times being a thing on world record forums, some people preferred to play the slower 25 FPS PAL version because it was like playing the game in slight slow motion, which made it easier to drive well. SummoningSalt talks about this quite a bit in his MarioKart videos, and explains it well!

Kinda shocked that the secret unlock for Rosalina is so down on the list I thought that's how most people got her (Including me back in the day)

DanganMandy has evolved into SuperMarioMandy!

34:22 They mean the beta town from OoT, it does looks a lot like the unused town track from MK64.

People making fun of the way you talk are just mean. You sound fine, and I enjoyed the video a lot. I hope you can overcome the negativity

I never would have guessed that Mario Kart would have an iceberg, like DAUM

40 minutes? This should be an interesting experience

As a watered down explanation of the Grumble Volcano Ultra Shortcut, essentially, Mario Kart Wii has key checkpoints, all of which need to be driven through in order to count a lap. The reason the game doesn't count a lap if you simply drive backwards and then cross the finish line is because the game subtracts a lap from you if you cross into the region behind the finish line without going through the other key checkpoints. Once you get onto the rock in Grumble Volcano, you stay in the region of the starting line, (never leaving the region because that would subtract a lap,) and on a certain point around the rock, you cross the final checkpoint of the track, then cross the finish line, making the lap count. This is a watered down explanation of it. Some development oversights allowed these ultra shortcuts to be possible, but Grumble Volcano is probably the biggest one.

When I was a kid I accidentally did the Coconut Mall clip. Until I learned that it was a major glitch, I thought it was all a dream or the course put me into some sort of bonus or time out. (I didn’t know how games worked then.) Anyways, this is a really nice video!
