How good is the All-Gold Kart setup in MK8DX?

Gold Mario and the Gold Kart parts are the hardest unlockables in the game, but are they worth the effort? How good is this set-up, really?

Small mistake in the video 😂 I meant the first 12* cups, not 16. You just need to do the base game courses, not DLC.

You'll be bagging online in style !

Note: Traction is a pretty unimportant stat that only has an effect on very specific tracks, like icy tracks.

i used to never know how to unlock the gold set, but now...

...im on the grind.

[GrahamboPC]

i was baited into thinking this combo had max stats from a video thumbnail 😭😭

[ToreUltimate]

tbh i just see them as trophies. not all insane unlockables have to give an advantage, they can just be a flex

As a wise man once said, "if you're crazy enough, the combination doesn't matter", then proceeded to use the f-zero in competitive 200cc.

for those who are too impatient: no, the all-gold kart is NOT good at all

It’s not about winning with a good setup, it’s about sending a message.

[orealz]

it's more of a statement to your dedication.

5, 000 Coins are much better to unlock the Gold Glider in this version, because in the Wii U version, you need to collect 10, 000 Coins.

Put it this way, I've been racing Mariokart for almost 16 years. Not one time did I ever think that I would never be able to self teach myself how not only race professionally, personally, and expertly, but just enjoy it also. I have all gold parts in the 8 deluxe edition of this so, to quote Doc Hudson from the first "Cars" movie, "You don't have three-wheel brakes, so you've gotta pitch it hard and, break it, lose and just drive with the throttle. You give too much, you'll be out of the dirt and into the tulips" I love using the gold set, because it's actually racing practice for me ❤.

I like wearing this for the style, but it’s really identical to “Metal Mario, Sneeker, Metal Tires, Plane Glider”

This was good back in the days of Mario Kart 8 when mini-turbo wasn't the most important stat.

[LuigiGamers]

The Golden Components and the Gold Mario is the reason I beat all cups at every cc and all of them are 3 stars🗿

[sharkboy]

If you don't want to pit in the effort to unlock all the gold stuff

Metal Mario
Sneeker
Metal wheels
Wario Wing/Plane Glider/ or Paraglider

This has the exact same stats as the gold stuff. Except the is this kit has +2 invincibility compared to the gold stuff. Other than that, the stats are the same.

It's not about being Meta...it's about showing that Clutch Nixon won't ever dare to challenge you.

[EmeraldGamer-mrhf]

What about all the hidden stats like mini turbo and invulnerability?

[ShadowFireOnYoutube]

Another thing to mention is that, even though they have high speed, they have a MUCH lower mini-turbo, which is more important unless you are bagging.

Didn’t even know there are gold tires 😮😮. Now I gotta go get em!
