How Mario Kart 8’s Checkpoints Were Finally Broken

Lets find some ultra shortcuts next, shall we?

This video legitimately took hundreds of hours to complete, so I would greatly appreciate it if you subscribed

Credits:
First off, I want to thank @manfredi19 , @Andybest1 , and @_Ludwig__ for their help with this. I couldn't have done ANY of this without their help.

This is the original video I found. I'd just like to say thank you to the creator of this who immediately responded when I asked to use their clip 11 months ago, you're a legend @randomnsclips :

Here is the original discoverer of the royal raceway glitch:

The dkj videos:

Word soup:
Mario Kart 8 deluxe glitch and challenge kind of like How Many Courses Can You Beat Backwards In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe or Ultra Shortcuts In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

We did it. We broke the game to lose time. Somebody call SummoningSalt's evil twin, BanishingPepper.

[FlatlandsSurvivor]

We found a way to destroy the checkpoint!
To save time, right?

To save time. Right?

I think it's funny that Nintendo is often so good at polishing their games, that a community will go nuts trying to find a glitch in a RACING game that makes you go SLOWER.

[Shortcat]

This is amazing work!! At this point there is no shortcut potential, but discoveries like these can open the door for future discoveries, so who knows. I'm excited for that and I really enjoyed this video Jopes!
(also you guys invented the AC record category which is super cool)

[memkakes]

I think the reason why the first few discoverers of the glitch were in multiplayer is because the opening would be wider due to multiplayer being in 30fps in comparison to solo plays being at 60fps so the origin has longer movements per frame

Since it got cut out of the final version of the video I'm now making a comment about DK Jungle, the AC on that track was patched in Wave 4 through changing the checkpoints in that area so you cant perform it on the current version of the game. However if you reset your switch and have a physical copy which has version 2.2.0 or lower you can go back to that version and still perform the glitch. I got 9 laps on DK Jungle this way without using any shrooms, the video for that is in the Discord (seriously go join it right now) and on my channel.

Really appreciate the 3D renders of the zones and invisible walls. Much easier to understand then the top down graphs

[Through_TheWind]

"the greatest mario kart players and ludwig" lmao
Edit: HAPPY NOW?

[Orange_AvengerYT]

Of course the shroomless AC was discovered with Funky Kong. Broken in Wii, broken in 8.

[Nobody_YT]

We need TASers to get on this before they patch it

[BLBambooMK]

This actually such a cool video what. Didn’t think me and Tigan’s “for fun” discovery so many years ago would ever become relevant again

[EthanRohn-wp]

Now you can get the two impossible coins from the collecting every coin video in royal race way.

[randomnsclips]

Nice video! Too bad the only flaw we found in the mk8's checkpoint system only serve to waste time, but I'm glad to finally understand what happened in this clip

[Mkmcco]

People dedicating absurd amounts of time to finding ridiculous bugs/breaking the game as a whole has to be my favorite little corner of every video game fandom. Subscribed

[CathodeRayKobold]

You didn't have to do Ludwig dirty like that

[Pixiuchu]

2:04 now that's a cool transition

[crazyiwascrazyoncetheylocked]

it's funny to see his voice deepen as you go forward in his videos lol

[happily_blue]

9:13 why does this look like it should be in a jfk assassination documentary

[ihv_cc]

I appreciate these videos sooo much, the 3D models and the video generally are super polished

[fluffsquirrel]

So much respect for all of this progress and for not begging for subs midway, even though you could easily do that and nobody would blame you.
